first prank ≈ video.

[For a long time, there is muttering and shuffling, and no real discernible speech. Just a view from the ground of tree tops, green and bright in the summer weather, from where a New Feather's journal lays open.]

[If one listens closely, they may here complaints about Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan and fallen angels.]

[A moment later, a curious face swims into view of a boy with pale skin, blue eyes behind thick-rimmed rectangular glasses, and a shock of wildly messy black hair. His expression shifts quickly from curious to annoyed.]

Oh, that explains a lot.

[A disgruntled sigh.]

The script is blank!! Am I writing my own City of Angels, wherein Nicolas Cage has tiny useless blue wings??

[He sits back and falls mostly out of the journal's view.]

This movie is going to suck. Just sayin'.

[[ooc; Please check John's permissions post and let me know what you're okay with! Thank you. :>]]

[...Everyone here seems to understand what this boy is talking about...]

Pardon me for asking, but what is a movie?

[Wow that dude definitely has a horn growing out of his head.]

...uh, cinema. Like moving pictures on a screen. Like TV? Imax? Theatre?

...like the function these journals have?

[pause to think]

Ah...I see how it could be used to record performances. I assume these different things you refer to are variations on the medium?

Uh, sort of...

[He moves away from the journal a little and mutters.] Wow, this guy must have lived under one hell of a rock. Maybe that explains the horn.

Sort of, I guess? They're usually recorded and then mass-produced for the enjoyment of the public.

So this kind of technology is widespread in other worlds...fascinating. I should make an effort to view one of these "movies" while I'm here.

[glassesgleeea-oh wait he's leaving someone on the line right]

Thank you for the explanation. Has anyone helped you get oriented here yet?

I'll see about finding you something good sometime. Can't be shown movies if you're not gonna be shown something good.

[Blinks.]

Well I'm still sort of sitting in the middle of a forest with no shoes and no shirt, but I think I'm kind of getting an idea that that's normal.

I appreciate the offer.

[Heh, nice kid.]

The most evident landmarks in the woods would be the rivers. Can you hear running water? Or can you see mountains over the trees in any direction?

Uhhh, those might be mountains--

[He turns the journal away from himself to show what he means, providing a dizzying view as he does so.]

But I haven't really been listening for running water?

If you can see mountains, then the best thing to do is move away from them and try to find the river. Following it downstream will bring you to the village.

...right, okay. Move away from the mountains.

[is there something funny about that...]

Once you've reached the village, I can show you to the most important locations to remember, if you need the assistance.

[Nah, that's just John for you.]

Someplace to get some shoes would be pretty great, not gonna lie.

You'll find that here and more.

[now just gotta wait for him to work his way nearer...]
