⊱ first vision | video

[ The screen snaps on, revealing one magnified blue eye. It snaps off for a minute, then turns on once again to reveal a dirt-stained face at a far enough distance to catch his whole visage. He looks annoyed, to say the least. Brow furrowed, lip curled in mild frustration.

Then the screen shuts off again.

But the blank screen is suddenly accompanied by a harsh SCREECH, followed by the loud two-beat thump of someone hitting the side of the device. There's another loud screech, as the device is pushed away in frustration, accidentally turning on once more to reveal a clear picture of Ben Hawkins, looking down at the device. ]

—— Future ain't nothing but a goddamn piece of shit.

It might. Are you?

[taravata.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

Future's a little better than that, I'd like to think. It'll be easier with time. The device is actually really simple.

[ it's not? but for her it is! ]

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Was I talking to you?

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

I know you weren't talking to anyone but the Network was watching you.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Didn't mean it to happen. Wasn't 'ppose to turn on, this piece of junk.

That's...disheartening.

[He can't see it, but Angela's eying the device with sympathy. For him, not the machine. Lord knows these things cause too much trouble.]

Not always. Just the network device.

What the hell's this 'ppose to be? Some type of goddamn radio?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Something like that. There are better comparisons I can make, but they'll go over your head. But let's go with a radio or a walkie talkie, even.

We got moving pictures, telegrams, telephones. Not like I'm from the stone age or something.

[gilthart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, mostly.

And nobody's got privacy? Everybody's got to talk to the public like this?

[gilthart.livejournal.com]

You can put privacy on, there's a guide. You should probably get someone else to show you. I needed Elliot to help me.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

I can figure it out myself.

[adamantined]

That depends on the future.

[taravata.livejournal.com]

Yeah? You from another world or something?

[adamantined]

Everyone here is, sorry to break it to you. Has anyone sent you the guide?

nothing to see here....

[No, he won't harass just yet. But Castiel will hover and watch. As disconcerting as all of this is for the "normal" people that get stuck here, Castiel can only imagine that it might be worse for Ben. And Ben, he's sure, is too important to allow out of his sight.]
