accidental video; whoops

[shiro2hero]

[We interrupt your regularly scheduled Important Current Event Updates with someone's elbow knocking into their TAB. Or maybe alien metal plus alien tech equals some kind of spark and power surge or something. Either way, this is a close-up of Shiro's elbow for several seconds of blurred movement and muffled yelling.]

[Because something's on fire.]

[And he's hitting it with one hand. Which is probably alarming if you're new to the neighborhood and aren't aware one of his hands is made of metal.]

-- why? I just hit a button! Stop! Burning!

[Oh yeah, he's in the kitchen. Butchering microwave food.]

[Because before the TAB clicks off with another knock of his elbow, there's a brief shot of the poor, butchered food. It's space easy mac. He burned space Easy Mac.]

[lavelly]

I'm still not sure what most of the commands are meant to do

[What is "popcorn."]

[shiro2hero]

Really?

They're sort of just... what food they're supposed to heat up.

[lavelly]

Really? I've never heard of eating defrost

[IS HE JOKING. WHO KNOWS]

[shiro2hero]

okay I walked right into that one didn't I

[lavelly]

[Surprise! He wasn't joking.]

Did you?

[shiro2hero]

[It's starting to dawn on him this was a terrible baseline.]

... Yes?

Defrost means... to thaw something out.

[lavelly]

Oh? I suspected as much. This machine seems to have many uses

[shiro2hero]

Have you ... ever used one?

[lavelly]

No, it's a technology far beyond what I am used to. There seems to be quite a bit of that here

1/2

[shiro2hero]

[Oh my god no. This is his baseline, someone who doesn't have this stuff at home.]

[shiro2hero]

if its any consolation

if you havent started a fire

you're one up on me

[lavelly]

If it's any consolation I have started many fires

[Most of them were not due to the microwave, but details.]

[shiro2hero]

Are

are you okay?

[lavelly]

Yes?

[shiro2hero]

Okay good

when someone says there's been a lot of fires I
have to be concerned

[lavelly]

Well I did set them on purpose

[shiro2hero]

What

[lavelly]

They were controlled I promise

[shiro2hero]

My experience with my teammates says when I hear that, I should be suspicious.

[lavelly]

So you have mages too? I was starting to think my world was the only one

[shiro2hero]

Nah

worse

Teenagers

[lavelly]

[Hey rude. Mages aren't bad.]

Oh yes those. I've known a few. Harrowing group

[shiro2hero]

[What is a mage.]

I'm hoping they grow out of it.

[lavelly]

[Well. Lavellan is 30.]

I'm sure they will

[shiro2hero]

good to hear
