[ Video ]

[ Video starts and there is one (1) Kaneki and one (1) Riptide looking back at you. Kaneki gently nods his head as a polite greeting and riptide raises a hand in a light wave.]

Hello everyone, we are making an official announcement that we are currently working to visit Death Island and build a memorial on site for the imPorts who have permanently died there. For those who aren’t familiar with the story, in 2008 a group of teenage imPorts went to the island in order to stop a man who built a Death Ray. I understand the naming is… [ IT’S SOMETHING. ] but the Ray killed seven imPorts permanently. It has been ten years since then, and I think it’s important to remember those who were lost.

--Right, yeah, [riptide leans a little closer to the camera. it’s time to pay attention to him now!!] it’s got a weird name and the history sucks. So, anyway, we already have quite a bit of backing from ambassador Baal, Baelish and senator Hundred. Er-- [he looks down. at his hand, where he’s written this information like a normal person.] --The Airforce, some other native institutions. They sure love their advertising. I’m sure you see where this is going.

The only people left to ask are…
[he points dramatically at the camera.] you. Is you? Grammar. You. Give us money for this. Also, yourselves. Please.

[ oh god, no - Kaneki moves in, shoving Riptide away as he tries to salvage this ] He-- isn’t wrong. We need funding to build the memorial, but we also need signatures to show imPorts support this idea. We are also gathering them from natives, who have been very receptive to this idea. [slightly off camera, riptide can be heard mumbling that’s what i said!. Kaneki will ignore him because what else can you do? ]

We want to ask you for your support on this, any kind you can give us. [ he bows gently to the camera ] Thank you so much.

Yeah, thanks-- and if you’re gonna bitch about how this ain’t our problem, I don’t wanna hear it! Put that attitude back in the toilet you fished it out of, idiot! [ and before the feed is cut off you can still hear Kaneki going “Riptide, No-” ]

It does exactly that. It makes it hurt more.

[he didn't expect this many questions. maybe he should just say what a ray is?]

No? I mean, maybe. I don't know.

Plenty of ways to make things hurt more without bringing magic into it. For one thing, you can hit harder.

[He comes from a world where there's many, many different types of damage, he's just trying to figure out what type Riptide means.]

Haven't tried it?
knaval: (and we don't recognize)

The magic... makes it hit harder? I don't know. Just Yahoogle what ray guns are. It's a stupid science thing.

[HONESTLY... all these questions!]

Hugging isn't much of a thing for us.

[mostly because of the armour they all have that's different shapes and a bit hard to work around, mostly because they're all emotionally stunted war vets.]

[About ten minutes later:]

Right, I didn't understand a single word of what I just read of this article.

[It's said surprisingly cheery, for someone who spent ten minutes trying to parse what the hell does "electrically conductive laser-induced plasma channel" even mean.]

Try to explain it to me like I've never met anything more technologically advanced than a very fancy outhouse. [Which isn't completely false.] I know magic, but I don't think this is the same thing.

You should try it sometime. It can be very soothing, and it's usually free.

Sometimes it's better that way. [said equally cheery, as a fellow person that often understands nothing.] It was bad, that's the important thing.

It's like... oof, do you have wands? Also, no. Do you have wands? No on the hugging. Never. Wands?
viciousmaukery: (can't you see it getting closer)

[personal profile] viciousmaukery 2018-11-21 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of? I'm not an expert. Far as I know it tends to vary, but a friend of mine has a wand that makes people smile.

I'm assuming for this metaphor that this is a more versatile kind of wand.
