[It's pretty late right now, things should be.... fairly calm, right? Everything is totally relaxed, everyone is getting ready for a nice weeknight in, very calm, very quiet, looks like it might be just about time to turn in. Hit the hay. Relax. Have that nightcap and crack open a good boo-]

BRRRREEEEEEEEWEWWWWEERRRAPPP

[Or it might be time for noise hell. Sounds like someone has a communicator that should not fucking have a communicator.]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOEOOWOORRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[Oh good, the pitch is decreasing. That's... that's helpful]

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry, I had no idea it would do that.

[At least that's not painful. The voice on the other side is soft and friendly, and genuinely does sound deeply apologetic, before the screen flickers on at long last. Looks like he doesn't entirely know what he's doing with this shit]

I hope I didn't disturb any of you! It looks like it's pretty late out, I'd hate to think I woke anyone up!

Is everyone alright?

[Doesn't look or sound much older than eighteen, honestly]

I do apologize! I just couldn't help pressing all the buttons~.

[He was at home, which was now the tree house, idly enjoying the quiet night in the forest and looking at his device before going to bed when it seemed to start screeching. He, being who he was, covered his ears instead of turning it off. Eventually he would have figured out to turn it off, but it fortunately stopped before that was necessary.

It looked like another magic user, probably, and someone who likely wasn't familiar with technology. He calmed down pretty quickly and tried to gather up the courage to say hi. At least he had something to work off of.]

H-Hi... I... I can teach you how to u-use it, if you want.

[He hoped he didn't mess up.]

[Bracken was dressed in a pretty familiar sense for Xellos. At least the first person he's meeting here isn't a total weirdo, amirite.]

Can you? I'd appreciate that, really! I'd hate to break it just right out of the box, it seems like such an interesting little thing.

[He nodded slightly enthusiastically, happy to help.

How good he could explain was another matter.]

W-Well... there's a v-video button here...

W-Wait, you're using that already...

U-Umm... There's... Oh, there's this p-private function...

[He stumbled, mumbling through the buttons and their functions as he stared at the screen, doing his best to try and describe. It was probably only slightly useful at most.]

[Doesn't matter, he sits through and listens as if it was a master teaching it. When Bracken is done, he even gets a polite little golf clap]

I'll do my best to remember everything. You made it look so uncomplicated, I'm sure I won't forget it now.

[Having the confidence of a goldfish that wasn't sure of its own existence, being told that he'd been helpful made him feel quite good about himself. He smiled cheerfully, completely believing Xelloss, and trying his best to unnecessarily reassure the other man.]

I-It's not hard at all. I... I bet you'll be r-really good at it.

[Content and more relaxed, he leaned back a bit.]

D-Do you know about... about the cities, y-yet?

Well I did listen to that light projection back in the cave I woke up in, but I'm afraid that wasn't nearly enough information for me.

[That's right.

He wants to know more.

You did such a good job the first time around, lets hear more about this place]

R-Really?

[Oh boy, that was asking a lot of him. He only even vaguely knew about some of the cities that he didn't visit. He was living in a tree in the middle of the woods now, for heaven's sake.

But, that led him to try and stick to a familiar and more comfortable subject.]

W-Well... You look like y-you should come to F, Fayren. Are you a kind of m-mage?

Asshole.

[nah but he wasn't asleep or anything. Crime never sleeps. He just wants to be an ass right back]

I do apologize!

[Totally not an asshole totally on accident.

Mostly.

Like seventy five percent]

[c'mon Xellos even on accident? at least here's someone who can take it and dish it right back]

You didn't figure out not to push the button the first time it made the noise? Geez, you're some kinda backward bumpkin, aren't ya?

[pot, kettle, black]

I had to make sure it was really what was causing it. I haven't seen anything like this before.

But since you seem to know so much about it, I'd love to hear you explain how it works to me.

[Bluff. Called]

No way, newbie!

[granted, Bartolomeo does know how to use it, more or less. It's like a den-den mushi only not at all cute! But there is no 'helping strangers' in his vocabulary]

You know how to read, don't you? Just read what it says, it's that easy! Any idiot can figure it out!

What if I mess up?

I'd hate to make more of those sounds again, I barely even know what it is.

[heh!] If you mess up then you'll just keep lettin' everybody know that you're an idiot. Fine by me, really. It's always nice when idiots walk around with big flashing signs on their heads so you know to avoid 'em.

[he really is not doing himself any favors, here]
