01 - Video: OPERATION: poke it with a stick

[magicalcupboard]

[What is this? The communicator turns on to

a stick. A long, twisty, gloriously brown thing that is repeatedly poking its screen.

Holding the stick is a kid wearing shorts and long socks and a beige polo shit but that's not at all important. It's a kid, and he thinks he's getting closer to triggering an unexploded bomb every time he pokes the strange device. He looks far too bored to be doing what he thinks he's doing.]

Boring, stupid thing. Germans can't even make proper bombs, the pigs.

[Poke poke poke

Alright, he's getting bored and he's dropping the stick

and he's bending over to pick up some rocks. Can you guess what they're for?]

[Hey, the screen is showing a confused ranger.]

Hey, don't poke it. It's means to talk to people.

[BOMBS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK

The boy starts, jumps a little, and he looks around and quickly locates the face.

He looks startled but is obviously trying to mask it. ...he looks down at the rocks in hand.]

It's not a bomb, bro. [ The fact that you are poking it (listen, never mind being tiny) means you do not remember being here before. That's kinda a bummer, man! He was looking forward to reminiscing about being a sea monster and stuff. ]

[It keeps showing him faces and--

is it a telly? ...can it actually hear him? Had it actually heard him?]

...I know.

[wandthief]

You don't like people of Germanic origin?

[Video]

[magicalcupboard]

Nobody does. [Duh.]

[crowsong]

[Oh, great, they brought in another kid as a test subject? Great. More annoying little brats running around; just what this place needs.]

It ain't a bomb.

Believe me, I thought the same thing when I first got here...

((And thaaat was supposed to be voice only, not video. ^^; Oops.))

[Edmund thinks the telly thing on the ground can only show him, and it doesn't really cross his mind that it might work as a telephone sort of thing.

So he's looking around, rock in fist, trying to locate the voice and trying to seem as intimidating as possible.]

I don't think you'll find many Germans here, sorry to say.

[ Ange's gaze is mostly.. well, lineface, really. And her tone is deadpan. ]

[ video ]

[magicalcupboard]

That's good, at least. [He wants to ask "where is here" but. He won't. :T

He'll just look as lost as a ten year old can.]

[ voice ]

[towered]

Ah...I don't believe your communicator is a bomb. [ THOUGH REALLY, SHE WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED. ]

[ video ]

[magicalcupboard]

Obviously it's not, otherwise it would've gone off by now.

[hullonurse]

Of course they can't. But that's not the issue here.

[Two sentences are enough for her to be pinged by an accent and the sight of a child is enough to engage her interest already. Poor thing must be terrified...]

[Video]

[magicalcupboard]

[He prods the communicator with his foot. Nope, he hasn't even bothered to pick it up yet.]

...is this London?

[Video]

[modernholmes]

Did you just arrive?

[Have a rather annoyed kid.]

[Video]

[magicalcupboard]

No, of course not.

[crabbygenius]

It's not a bomb. Welcome to Fortuna.

[magicalcupboard]

Where?

[video]

[justicereigns]

Don't try smashing it. If this was a bomb, wouldn't that just make it explode?

Where are you from, kid?

[video]

[magicalcupboard]

's a dud. [Which clearly makes tempting fate the right thing to do.

Then the boy grows wary. He raises his chin a little.]

What's that matter?

[video]

[eyeforaneye]

Germans?

[video]

[magicalcupboard]

Jerries.

[april_first]

Ah, no! It's not a bomb--it's a phone!

[magicalcupboard]

It looks nothing like a telephone.

[ It's so sad that America is summoned by insults to Germany's bomb skills. ]

They can't make bombs as good as mine, that's for sure. Germany himself doesn't suck so much now that we're friends again though! You want failure, you take a good long look at East Germany.

...Hey! Weren't you around here before?

( video )

[magicalcupboard]

[That first bit confused him, but that this man was friends with Germany made Ed scowl. Itty bitty pissed off British kid scowl.]

No.
