[RIGHT. WELL. Finally the feed clicks on, and reveals Jarlaxle's grinning face, in all it's dark and eye patched glory, charming and debonair.]

Good day, sirs and ladies!

I cannot say I did expect such a trip this evening, but then I cannot say the sight is too terribly unwelcome, at least for the moment.

What strange world have I awoken in, I cannot say for sure, I've never been in such an odd city in all my years, but to say that is such a novelty, I cannot find enough ire to protest it.

Indeed with this, I have no idea what this device does or is, but as I can see it repeating my words and face at me, I find no immediate issue with it. I have, however, noticed that there are but yet more of you speaking through this odd device.

Please do feel free to enlighten me as to how this works.

But do allow me to introduce myself, I am Jarlaxle, and it is delightful to, indirectly at least, meet every last one of you. I do so dearly hope to truly meet you all face to face.

(｡◕ฺˇε ˇ◕ฺ｡)??? Huh, huh, huh? You wanna be enlightened, huh? No! We're not telling you anything, Jarllllllaxie~

Re: text

[acheat]

[Oh really?]

You're not? A shame indeed, I suppose I'll just have to root through this city and find out for myself.

[bergkatze]

[Yeah, really.]

Oh~~? You're planning on doing stuff? What kind of "rooting" are you planning?

[This one here may or may not be interested in joining said "rooting."]

Re: text

[acheat]

It depends.

Would a certain mysterious party be interested in assisting with some educational law scoffing?

[youfool]

Playful soul, aren't you? First I've seen to play with the phone like that. And welcome!

I can't quite explain the mechanics behind the phone; technology as inscrutable as sorcery; contented enough.

Yes, let's meet! Promise to stay put?

Re: [Video]

[acheat]

These buttons are delightful, you would be amazed at the array of things you can create with just symbols and text alone.

Then it is indeed a machine? No magic? How very strange, sir.

Of course, sir of course! But no promises if you dally. I fear I may wander if something catches my eye.

Re: [Video]

[youfool]

"No doubt; you ought to show me some.

Yes, or else, everything and everyone is so endowed with magic that the distinction is lost. Fingers crossed the world's more substantial. All right, I'll be quick!"

[He was, in a state of some exhaustion following a light sprint.]

"Hah, dressed like a swashbuckler! First I've seen. Oh! What's your name? I'm Ted."

Re: [Video]

[acheat]

[And quick he had been! Jarlaxle was still there, playing with his communicator happily]

It fits me to a T, I would say!

Allow me to introduce myself then, Jarlaxle, good sir. An esteemed pleasure to meet you.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

[Okay, he was going to try this again. He could introduce himself properly. He waited this time to turn on the video until he knew what he was going to say.

But by the time he turned it on he was smiling rather goofily because omg that text was a face. That was awesome! How did this guy make faces out of text?

That distracted him and it took him a moment to actually get around to speaking.]

O-Oh... Umm.. H-Hi. I'm... I'm Bracken.

[There, exactly what he planned on saying.

...Now what?]

N-Nice to meet you.

Re: [Video]

[acheat]

Oh! So you are dear Bracken, are you? I've heard tell of you, sir.

A pleasure to meet you as well~.

[Video]

[shy_mage]

Y-You did?

[Color him stunned. He thought he was about as noticeable as a pile of sand on the beach. Naturally, he worried first.]

H-How...? Did... Did I do something wrong?

Re: [Video]

[acheat]

No no, of course not! Your lover told me of you.

[Katze has such a big damn mouth.]

You're an impressive man indeed!

[Video]

[inquisitor_lavellan]

...Are you some sort of elf?

Re: [Video]

[acheat]

Indeed I am! As so do you appear.

[Surface elf. But, surface elf that didn't know what he was right off the bat. That was a good sign, he didn't really want to deal with half the city losing its collective heads]

[Video]

[inquisitor_lavellan]

Yeah. Glad to see more elves, even if from other worlds.

[The abundance of humans gets tiresome.]

Re: [Video]

[acheat]

The more the merrier!

From where do you hale, madame? You seem unlike most elves I have seen.

[video]

[debtpaid]

[It's a shame starry eyed is only a figure of speech, but Kaden's expression is likely the closest it'll get.]

...How'd you make that?! [the text face. tell him. he needs to know.]

Re: [video]

[acheat]

Hm? The face? An odd collection of button pressing, good sir.

[debtpaid]

Hmm... but if I just press random buttons it doesn't make anything that looks like that! Can you teach me?

[PLEAAAAAAASE...]

[acheat]

The excitement of discovery is in accomplishing it yourself.

[ after a few minutes and failed attempts to decipher the strange series of numbers and letters on the screen, lioriley focuses instead on the image of the man behind the camera. he looks... familiar. no, that isn't the right word for it. he looks like a dark elf, like her, but without the strange magical lines on his skin. odd. ]

I fear I cannot tell you much on how this device works. I have only recently learned how to use it myself. [ and even then it's debatable how well she uses it now. ] Welcome to Genessia, in any case. Did you need assistance elsewhere?

Re: video;

[acheat]

[Another drow? It looked like it, but he'd never seen markings like that before. Still, a female was a female. Until he was sure of who he was talking to, Jarlaxle would just have to watch his words]

And what a fine job you have done, my lady. You seem quite skilled with it.

Assistance? Be it far from me to demand you assist me, my lady.

[invigorates]

Oh, not hardly. [ she almost laughs - the lines across her cheeks brightening with a sudden rush of embarrassment from such a flattering reply. she shakes her head. ]

'Tis not a demand if I am the one that offered, is it? Please, I insist.

[acheat]

No, I do suppose not. I just do not wish for you to trouble yourself on my account, dear lady.

But if you do indeed wish so dearly to meet me, I will ever await you here.

[icyheart]

What on earth was any of what you just did?

[Clearly Icy didn't get it and she wasn't happy about it. Then again she is never happy about much of anything.]
