Dream I ❄ video/action

[The video feed opens on a young boy sitting with his back to the carousel, staring curiously down at the device. His bright eyes blink, and he reaches up a hand to brush at the fringe of his auburn hair, grown long and a bit unruly. Strong, dark brows furrow, and his freckled nose wrinkles. He shakes his head and sets the device aside, offering a view of his outstretched legs.]

Meera? [A pause.] Jojen?

[He sighs.]

Summer? Summer, to me.

[Snuffling is heard, and the sound of paws scrabbling on pavement. And then a paw falls on the device, and the recording clicks off.]

[ooc: So uh, this child who looks like he can't be more than ten kind of can't, uhmm, walk. So someone might want to help him out.]

I'm Hanna. Pleased to meet you, Bran.

Pleased to meet you, as well. [And, since he's been wondering about this bit, he'll be so bold as to ask--] How are you talking to me now?

Oh! It's a communications device, of sorts. It lets you talk into one end, and people can hear you through the other. I take it they don't have them where you're from?

No. [That sounds impossible, unless...] Is it magic?

It's technology, which I guess you could say is a sort of magic...

It'd be easier to show you, actually.

[He'll dissect his device for Bran, and then put it back together! Can't have the kid stuck here without understanding how this crap works.]

O-okay.

Relax, it's nothing bad, I promise. Where are you right now?

[You'll like technology, Bran! It'll fix your legs for the duration of your stay in the City!]

It's called the Youth Centre, they said. Do you know it?

I do! Would it be okay if I came down to meet you?

Yes, I'd like that.

Okay then! I'll be right down!

I'll wait here... [Not that he could do much else. But still, manners.]

Okay!

[Hanna shows up at the center after a few minutes.]

[When Hanna arrives, Bran is enjoying his fist-ever PB&J sandwich, and enjoying it greatly. He glances up every now and then to keep a lookout for the owner of the voice he's been speaking to.]

[Hanna looks around for anybody who looks like they'd be new...and the kid really, REALLY enjoying his PB&J stands out.]

Bran?

[He nods shyly.] Yes, it's me.

[Hanna smiles and crouches down to Bran's level, holding out his hand for him to shake.]

Hi, I'm Hanna. It's nice to meet you.

[Bran takes the offered hand briefly and smiles.] And you.

[Hanna just smiles and sits down. He then takes out his communicator device.]

I promised I'd explain this to you, didn't I?

[He nods, wide-eyed.]

I... I don't know much about magic.

[Hanna smiles.]

Well, I do...but this isn't magic. It's a sort of device that uses its own internal power source. And it lets you communicate with other people who have the same kinds of devices...everybody who lives in the City has one.

[Okay, so now he understands what they're for. He supposes it's nice to be able to talk to people who are somewhere else. But...] What sort of power?

[Hanna opens the back of his, showing off the battery and some of the wires.]

It uses these batteries here to generate electricity, which powers the device and allows it to be turned on and off. And the batteries have these long lives, so that you don't need to replace them every time you turn it on and off.

[Bran reaches out towards the batteries, but then he realises he's not sure if they're safe to touch or not.]

What are they?

It's okay, you can touch them! They're sort of like...little metal canisters. They've got this mix of chemicals and wires and stuff inside of them, which all react to each other and help to power this!

[Hanna smiles, before popping out one of the batteries, handing it to Bran.]

But it needs two of them. With only one, it won't turn on, because that's how it was built.

[He tries to turn it on, but lo, it will not work.]

[Voice] xD Oh god. YES.
