01; open
[Trying doors until one opens is tedious work. His old hands are throbbing. (No, really, don't give him that pitiful look.) But his efforts aren't in vain; Serge grins when a room finally allows him entrance, only to arch a brow at the decidedly bare and boring interior. The one thing that manages to sustain his attention is the smartphone, which he pockets. He figures he can take it. It doesn't look like anyone has been living there, much less own anything in it.
He doesn't stay for long. There isn't much to see. Not even a place to clean . . . After that sarcophagus business, he feels gross.
Then he's at the spring, and it's hardly an encouraging sight. Stepping inside, Serge sighs.]
Are they serious? I know communal baths used to be a thing, but that's in the past!
[ . . . Maybe he can get a nice view or two in the future. Provided they're nothing like Leslie, he's sure he'll be safe. Hopefully. Oh, who's he kidding; this is silly.
He pulls the smartphone out.]
What am I supposed to do with this, anyway?
[He manages to boot it up -- wow, it has his name. That means it's his, right? And it even has a list of other names. He recognizes a few. Serge proceeds to mess with someone while tapping his foot expectantly. And then some.]
( ooc: You can catch him at any part of the post! If you want Serge to call your character, let me know or hit up his phone post. He's hitting up names that sound like those of girls, but that doesn't mean his judgment is foolproof, or that he didn't click the wrong name, or that he didn't decide to diversify. )

So I've learned. Are there a lot of these where you're from?
no subject
Almost everybody has one. It's how people get in contact with each other.
no subject
Wow. Your world must be pretty technologically advanced for that kind of an invention to be so commonplace.
no subject
...Uh I guess so? What do you guys use? The pony express?
no subject
But Serge laughs.]
The pony express? No, we use carrier pigeons and messengers!
no subject
Not the messengers.
no subject
But I can tell you that I personally don't. I only need one pigeon for quick notices. It doesn't have to hunt!
no subject
So you only taught it to take messages to other people? How does it know where to go?
no subject
That's the idea. It knows where to go because it's been trained to! It's the same as teaching an animal how to do tricks.
no subject
Ah-so I guess, that might be kind of like how phone's work. They're already trained to go to other phones. I mean messages, that you send, or calls that you place will go to the other person, or number that you're trying to get the call or message to. [Good luck untangling that mess of an explanation Serge.]
no subject
. . . Sounds useful. Especially when the calls are transferred instantly. So that means these work for written messages, too?

Ahh. Like phone jargon, huh?
no subject
Or slang. If you guys don't have phones, does that mean you didn't have tv's either?
no subject
I don't know what that is, so I would assume not.
no subject
Man-what do you guys do for fun?
no subject
That depends on the person. The kids mostly play and do activities together.
no subject
I guess.... what about Manga? You at least had that right?
