one ❅ video

[yseult]

[ For those who are familiar with the area, the video makes it obvious that Sansa is sitting on a bench in downtown Heropa, near several small clothing stores. She is wearing the dress that she arrived in, which appears more appropriate for a drafty medieval palace than the warm Florida afternoon. There is a long pause before Sansa speaks, as though she is carefully considering her words. ]

This world is... unusual. To say the least.

I don't mean to... bother anyone. But I was, ah... wondering if someone could help me find clothing here. It is very... different. I'm not entirely sure what a proper lady is expected to wear. People seem to have very different expectations, and none of it is quite what I am used to. Oh, but I'm sure this all sounds odd. Any help would be... greatly appreciated.

So it is normal for ladies to dress as men? [ She doesn't sound judgemental about this so much as surprised by it. ] It's a shame that my sister was not the one brought here.

[hackitude]

Your sister a bit of a tomboy, huh? Yeah, ladies can wear pants whenever they want here, basically. It mostly comes down to personal preference. I like wearing dresses when it's a special occasion-- parties, meeting with friends, dates, that kinda stuff. But for work I can't really be bothered. Pants are just easier that way.

[yseult]

Ah... something like that, yes. At least... the last time I saw her, she was.

Does your work require much... physical labour, then?

[hackitude]

Huh. That's gotta be difficult for her, if you come from a society that cares about ladies being proper...

Me? Noooooooo way. Look at me. Do I really look like the "lifting heavy objects" type? I'm five foot five of skin and bones, here. I work in IT. [A beat passes before she realises this girl probably has no idea what that is.] Information technology. The little device you're using to communicate with others? Someone has to invent and build them. And fix them when they break. Basically, I'm good with tech. If you ever need someone to explain how to work something? I'm your girl.

[yseult]

[ She listens patiently, and her eyes widen slightly. ]

You understand how this... device works?

[ Wizardry. ]

[hackitude]

You bet. Inside and out. It's kinda my thing. And-- hey, don't fret too much. Trust me when I say that there are tons of people in the world who don't understand a thing about technology. Hell, if there weren't, I'd be out of a job.

[yseult]

Do you think that you could... perhaps explain some of it to me, if it is not a trouble?

[hackitude]

No trouble. I do this all day every day anyway.

[That, and Skye couldn't very well leave a girl from medieval times in good conscience to struggle through learning about technology on her own. She's occasionally mischievous, not cruel.]

It's easier to explain in person, though. Want me to meet you somewhere?

[yseult]

Oh, perhaps it would be best to have you come over to my, ah, assigned house.

[hackitude]

... Sure. That would be great. Just tell me when and where. I'll bring my best teaching cap. ... Uh. That was a joke. I don't really have a teaching cap.

[yseult]

[ She laughs softly at that, hiding it behind a hand over her mouth. ]

Well, I am not sure how long this shopping venture will continue, but it seems that I'm available for the foreseeable future. The house they have given me is number twenty-seven.

[hackitude]

Wait-- it's way more important that you get clothes first. Otherwise you're going to like... die of heat exhaustion or something. I mean, this is summer. In Florida.

Get your stuff, I can always meet you at your place in the evening.

[yseult]

Yes, of course. I should not get ahead of myself.

[hackitude]

Okay. Great. Don't die in the meantime, okay? You can show me what you bought later, if you want. We can make it a fashion parade.

[yseult]

Don't worry too much about me. I think that I am learning to survive a great many things.

hey so should we handwave this or do action spam or??

[hackitude]

Well geez, I should hope so!

I'll see you later.
