branstark[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.]

Date: 2011-09-24 03:08 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-09-25 02:51 am (UTC)What are they?

Date: 2011-09-25 02:53 am (UTC)[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.]

Date: 2011-09-25 02:57 am (UTC)Chemicals. And wires.
[He nods, and hands it back.]
Who builds them?

Date: 2011-09-25 02:58 am (UTC)[Hanna takes the battery back, putting it back in his communicator device.]
But I bet they've got books about how these things are made at the library!

Date: 2011-09-26 12:40 am (UTC)Maybe I could look at them. I know how to read.

Date: 2011-09-27 03:54 am (UTC)You ever read comic books? They're like books, but they've got a lot of pictures in them, and the words work with the pictures to tell a story. They're also sort of smaller than books.

Date: 2011-09-27 03:46 pm (UTC)Everything is so different here.
[Action]
Date: 2011-09-28 01:21 am (UTC)You though? You've got people here that'll make sure you're okay. Me included.
[Hanna: Good with kids.]
So! Comic books! You'll love em!

Date: 2011-09-28 02:59 am (UTC)A doctor sent a chair. He said I can use it to move, so people haven't got to carry me.

Date: 2011-09-28 03:02 am (UTC)That's great! Wheelchairs really do make things easier, and the library is wheelchair accessible. If you want to, you could get those legs looked at. Things here are a bit different, so who knows, they could do something to fix them.
[It wouldn't last when Bran went home, but...well, who knew when that would be.[
