Accidental Video [Open]

[There's a loud clatter and the screen turns on. The feed is pointed straight up at the sky in some alley, before a ten-year-old boy's dirt-smudged face with white hair and blue eye's appears off center, looking worried. He sits down cross-legged on the ground, picks up the communicator, and now it's visible that he's wearing a very oversized (like several xl large adult sized) gray t-shirt like a tunic or dress with shorts and sneakers.]

Oh no! Kaiba-rhya's gonna kill me! Did I break it?

[He moves the screen really close to his face so he can look at the communicator but nothing looks wrong..? But..? He doesn't know? The screen really looks weird!]

Hello? Box? Are you okay?

[ooc: If anyone responds in text, they'll be able to hear the text being read aloud by the communicator to the boy.]

[They sure do! Especially ones who don't really understand what's going on here and has had to piece together enough logic from his own world so his brain doesn't completely turn to oatmeal.

It wasn't all that often he had someone listen to his ideas like this. It was strange but felt good too. He nods.]

My daddy said that the Wyld is what connects us to the Earth Mother, Gaia, and losing that was bad. We have to respect it. It's like if you go hunting and after Gaia has granted you a seal, to show your respect to the spirit of the seals and show your gratitude, you give the seal something to drink to help it through it's journey back to it's ancestors.

If you don't do that then the spirit of the seal won't let you hunt the seals anymore and your tribe could die.

[ooc: A 10 year old's perspective on the Wyld and the circle of life. Enjoy.]

Ohh...!

[ Eyes round, Kyoko leans in towards the screen, listening intently. Did she expect to get an exposition dump about mystical earth magic from a child today? No, but as soon as he gets to that bit about Earth Mother Gaia, she's hooked. ]

I see!! What a precarious balance to keep, being in danger of curses from seal spirits!

[ She's not even making fun of him, she's legitimately enthralled right now. ]

[wyldghost]

It is! You have to be very careful.

[Sage nod. He likes her even if she did spook him at first. She gets seal spirits and curses now. They can be friends.

His smile falters a little.]

I don't know how to help them now though. What if we help them and then the spirits don't like us anymore either and turn us into machines? All the gods and spirits here are weird.

[ Kyoko nods and hums thoughtfully, serious. Though she's not sure his particular worries are likely to come to fruition, she can appreciate the uncertainty of the situation. ]

We can't really be sure about anything, right? But, you know, this is a whole different world, so everything we knew from home might be invalid here.
