When: May 21st to May 30th

I Have No Words
Feel free to use this post as an event catch-all for any misfires, island-wide broadcasts, or glitching Stone shenanigans you'd like your characters to get up to! Remember that the Stones of Farspeech do not currently have a texting feature...but that doesn't mean the screen they use to display Caller I.D. can't display text, on occasion. Bear in mind that this screen is small and therefore has limited display options.

If you have any questions, feel free to look over our OOC event post here, and ask any questions as needed!

[...Dear God. That's so out there his only inclination is to laugh. It's so removed from the sort of torture he's experienced, it sounds like something out of the sci-fi stories he used to buy at the neighborhood five and dime.]

Sounds like something outta a comic book.

Used to be able to buy 'em for a penny at Georgo's down the street when I was a kid.
eudaimonikos: (in the details)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-01 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, they sure never seem to like the bee tortures.

[Wait...what is he doing, getting defensive over that? It was torture. Michael frowns, irritated at himself.]

I mean, after a while you get sick of all the regular... [He doesn't like where that's going either. This sucks! This sucks so much!] ...we don't have...a lot of comic book access.
semistableman: (✪ maybe you're a sinner)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-03 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[It.... sounds like A Lot.]

That's unfortunate, they were fun to read. [...] 'Course that was 80 years ago, I don't know what they're like now.
eudaimonikos: (a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-03 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't know. I think there's ones about giant robots that turn into cars.

[Is Transformers a comic or a cartoon...? Possibly both?]

But we really only get the worst of the human media.
semistableman: how about that (❅ you feel this way)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-09 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Is there?

[He doesn't have a clue what that could be referring to. But it sounds cool.]

What kinda media do you get, then?
eudaimonikos: (would you give me)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-09 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Have you ever seen Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer?
semistableman: (❅ to hate everything)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-09 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[His brows rapidly climb up his forehead.]

Never owned a television, only really heard about them after waking up.
eudaimonikos: (madness and civilization)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-09 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you want to?

[it's a trap!]
semistableman: (★ but you won't ever let me go)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-10 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
You have a television?

[He's literally never seen a tv show before, Michael. This could backfire.]
eudaimonikos: (and I'm on that faded love)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-10 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I have my phone.

[how on earth could showing anybody the grandma got run over by a reindeer movie ever backfire?]
semistableman: (✪ maybe you're a sinner)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-11 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He stares at Michael like he's just grown a second head.]

....How does that help?
eudaimonikos: (one look from you)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-11 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[.....]

The movie is on my phone.
semistableman: (★ all these precious moments)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-17 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Michael. This man was born in 1917.]

How? It's a phone. Do you tell the operator to play a movie over the phone for you?
eudaimonikos: (if I don't make it on the list)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-18 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I see.

[He swipes up at the air to call the holographic screen.]

This is my phone.
semistableman: (❅ realize it's so far to go)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a good thing he's culturally from 1944, and not 1744, so he just looks really impressed and maybe a bit alarmed versus thinking Michael is a sorcerer.]

Imp...ressive. Not exactly what I pictured when you said "phone."
eudaimonikos: (as many times)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-21 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Michael is a sorcerer and he demands respect!]

Yeah, humans haven't really caught up yet. I don't actually have any signal, can't dial out...but all my personal files are still here. Photos, videos, all that.
semistableman: (★ on the best days of my life)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-22 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's impressive.

Like something outta one of the sci-fi pictures I used to watch as a kid.
eudaimonikos: (the cave)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-23 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
It exists mostly outside of this plane of reality. But it's tethered to me, not home.

[Which is good, or else he might have lost access entirely, but if he'd kept his hold on it he could've just called Janet and told her what was up. Wouldn't that have been nice?]
semistableman: how about that (❅ you feel this way)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-23 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
That so?

[He stares at it now, curious.]

Still pretty cool.
eudaimonikos: (would you give me)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-24 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's alright.

[He flicks through some things, and...I can't find the entire movie on YouTube, but there's this.]
semistableman: (❅ i may appear a certain way)

[personal profile] semistableman 2019-06-25 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for this thread, I've had the displeasure of seeing it on TV.

Bucky's face morphs from several different variations of confusion, alarm, and disgust. He really only lasts a good 10 or so minutes before he finally turns to Michael.]


What the hell is this shit?
eudaimonikos: (and I'm on that faded love)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2019-06-25 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Popular entertainment in hell! Less so on Earth.

[He thinks? He has to assume.]
