Video
[A click. There's darkness, and shuffling, the sound of water being splashed around, and a very soft, very gentle curse.
Then a few seconds of silence... before the screen blasts white. It takes a second for the phone to adjust to the light itself, and when it does, blue skies and an upside down Genessia city are broadcast for a decent minute, before the screen is finally angled up at the holder.
A young man, dressed as if he'd tumbled out of some dark Victorian based funeral parlor, white as a sheet thanks to his own panic and confusion.]
... It must still be a dream...
[Apparently, he's not entirely aware of what he's looking at or what the hell its doing, because in short order that phone is flipped over to get a good look at some expensive looking boots as he decides to just... take this all one goddamn step at a time and deduce what the ever loving fuck this thing is.]

I want you to keep look at my eyes. I'm going to shine the light to see how your pupils dilate. [As she works she decides to answer his question. Anything to keep his ass on the seat.]
That's a television set. Development began in the 1900's and it's able to transmit video and audio for the purposes of entertainment and information. It runs on electricity which will hurt you if you start poking around the wires. Think of it like being struck by lightning.
[When she's done she sits back and exhales.]
It doesn't look like you have a concussion.
Re: Action
Thankfully, he's not that easily distracted, and manages to take the order just fine as she explains what the hell the thing hanging on the wall is]
I know what electricity is.
[Snippy, yes, but looking dumb wasn't a thing Ichabod liked.]
What I don't know is the word 'video'.
[Which took a lot of humility for him to say so be proud]
Action
Video is like a moving picture.
[Enis explains in an even voice.
While she doesn't believe in stupid questions, she thinks that people who don't know shit should ask.]
Re: Action
Before realizing he's never going to actually leave this room ever again if he brings up a question every time the first one is answered.
Welp]
I-
... I see. Alright.
[He'll just have to turn on the television later and suss out what this garbage is]
As in what this device was showing earlier?
[He gestures to his phone]
Action
[Enis will answer his questions, until she gets bored.]

Re: Action
[Buh, no he can't use her as a book, the woman has places to be, Ichabod]
I'll... have to do more research on my own, it seems.
Action
This- [She tears off the paper and hands it to him.] -is the directions to the library. They have books on everything that you'll have a question on.
