Halloween Reaction Videos - [Open] [Network - Video]

Characters: A string of numbers yet to be determined (Russell)]

[Mid-afternoon, Halloween, a video post becomes available on the network. It's coming from a slightly odd angle, pointed as though someone had tapped their number on a mirror and propped it against the head of a bed. Front and center in the view is Russell, sitting a few feet away, with a pile of things in front of him. Two different cell phones, a few colorful sketches, and... several bones. There's no dirt on them, but they sure don't look like plastic.]

I am having. A day.

Multiple times, today, I've had that... that dizziness, and emptiness, and found myself remembering things or finding things. I can't go to my door without tripping over something that sets it off. Is that just me?

And, can anyone tell me about this?

[He gestures at one of the cellphones, and holds it up close to the mirror so the charger port is visible from the mirror's feed. It's not any of the standard ports, or even an obscure one. And something about the style of the phone, there's no match on Earth for it.]

Did one of you drop this off with the bucket, or do the rest of all that... decorating?


((ooc: Tag in action/prose as you prefer, and I'll match! And if anyone has the technical skills to examine a strange electronic device, and especially to devise a charger for it, I'd love to pursue that option.))

Alternate world, then.

[Keep it simple.]

Or dimension.

[Or not. Look, he knows his sci-fi, okay? There's differences between planets and dimensions, and some canons hark on those differences hard.]

Wonder if it reacts the same way to magnets normal phones do?

[Though in retrospect, Russell probably shouldn't test that until they can get the content off the phone and store it elsewhere.]

[spaghettimonster]

[Just one of those things. Specialized fields of knowledge get very particular about their terminology and distinctions. Nerds are famous for it.]

Uhh, I haven't tried that yet. I don't think I want to, not until I have a charge cable. And it's all backed up.

[Please don't go destroying possibly-evidence on him, Walter. Experimenting with the hardware isn't worth it.]

[iamnotgod]

Let's save that option for later, then.

Much later.

... Can it be charged?

[Rigging up a charge port, he can try.]

[spaghettimonster]

Search me, it doesn't fit any of my chargers.

But it's got an icon for charge in the corner, and it's not full. If you, or Jim? have any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.

[It's just, making a port of the right shape, with all the little wires and pins and whatever, right? It's not magic. Usually.]

[iamnotgod]

Might have to let us brainstorm a little, but we'll get back to you.

[And not just cuddle. Presumably.

It's not as if there's a technique to create a mold of the port or something!]

You might want to try to get voltage information out of it, though; I'd hate to blow it up by giving it too much power.
