Uh-huh! I have some from my home world.

[and with a few taps on his phone he'll pull up a video of a sunset from the viewpoint of a high building in tokyo?? it pans simply from side to side]

See?

[dupelicate]

[video!! there was only one other place he'd seen something this advanced, but on such a small, portable device, able to show anyone, anywhere...

also, it was a genuinely nice sunset.]

...That's incredible. It must've taken you a really long time to make that. [the cell fon. his respect for Senri has grown enormously. what a talented young man.]

[usogi]

[ . . . . . oh, um - ]

.... as nice as that is, I really wish I could take credit.

But for right now, I actually bought it. Where I'm from, these are super common.

[dupelicate]

Super common? [TECHNOLOGY]

Like... everyone just, has one of these?

[usogi]

Uh-huh! It's how we all talk to each other - I can communicate with people across super long distances with them too.

It's pretty cool... I didn't think too hard about it until I came here.

[dupelicate]

So you can talk to people far away, and do the picture and moving picture thing?

That's... awesome!

[this, more than anything, is genuinely getting him interested in fontech.]

Do you think that I could try it? The picture thing, I mean.

[usogi]

Hm?

[senri tilts his head at that and seems to hesitate a second - but ultimately does hand luke his phone. he does that thing where he relocks it and opens only the camera so luke can't open anything else, nothing personal.]

... mmm, sure, I guess. But please be suuuuper careful. My whole life is on here.

[dupelicate]

[He nods, taking it in his hand, and stares at the screen. For a minute or so, he looks around the room via only the screen, clearly intrigued, but not taking any pictures.

When he finally swings the lens back around, he stops on Senri--

--and takes a picture of him.]

Gotcha!
