Smart phones... sounds like an appropriate name for them.

[She smiles sheepishly.]

I guesssss something like a tiny radio? We have radio sets that can be carried around, but they're way bigger than these things. I thought phones had to be connected to these wires in the ground to work.

Cool. I've got some ideas to implement into the devices already but we'll work it out later when this is over. If you get back to the apartment before I do though check on Mochi. I'll see you later.

I wouldn't call it that...I'm just doing what I can while I'm here. But don't mention it.

I'll do that.
I'll see you then. Take care, don't get into too much trouble. Call me if you need back-up.

[ totes acting calm but jfc he's freaking out on the inside hiro please stay safe... ]

You too. If I don't answer right away just keep trying. Probably means my hands are full.

[He'll just stop responding after that but Tadashi if you die again he swears to god....]

You mean like walkie-talkies? Those are really...really outdated. [Like really outdated, Korra, jeeze.] Phones used to have to be connected that way but with the advancement of satellites and cell phone towers people are a lot more mobile now. Cell phones contain little tiny antennas in them so they can pick up signals and send them back to the towers. I'm not sure how they're connected in the CereVices though, that's what I've gotta look at.

Sure, sounds good to me!

wait what does that mean

[look... up??? Well, when she gets there she'll certainly be looking up, but...she feels kind of silly. CAN YOU FLY, HIRO]

[SURPRISE, RUBY. Meet actual superhero Hiro Hamada.]

You'll see! Trust me, it'll make sense when you get there.

[Not her fault! It's what happens when you live in another world's equivalent of the 1920's, apparently.]

Uhh... [Korra bites her lip.] You lost me at satellites. But we can pretend I understood most of that, and you can just show me how this thing actually works?

[Hopeful smile??]

[He's just laughing again, shaking his head.] Okay, okay. What's the first thing you wanna know about the CereVice? Obviously you know how to make video calls and voice calls. Do you know how to text?

If you say so!

[She'll at least wait and see when she gets there.]

[She doesn't tell him to stop laughing at her, but she does pout a him through the screen. It's not her fault she's technologically challenged!]

I just want to know what else you can do with it. Like the text thing you were just talking about.

Here, lay the device flat? Unfold it all the way and leave it flat on any surface and tell me if a keyboard pops up for you. It should...holographs I think are probably way, way way after your time, but it'll kinda look like...sorta glowy and you can't pick it up. Try that for me.

_{[ Someway, somehow, Katsura has found out where his brave little samurai ( wait what ) has been hiding out at. He remembers Hiro has soon as he returns to Cerealia, along with the rest of his memories— and he was only missing for a week. Hiro probably didn't even notice.

Nevertheless, a task is unfinished, and he isn't one to leave business unfinished.

Zura has in his arms a bunch of flyers. And he's actually being nice by stalking you and not just barging in through your window! Just, you know, stalking you and politely ringing your door bell... possibly over and over. ]}

Ah, excuse me, Shorty-donoooo. This is the pizza man.
_{it's not the pizza man it's Katsura.}

_{[ yeah he just corrected himself. ]}

[She follows his instructions, almost comically intent on her task. She definitely doesn't flinch with surprise when the keyboard shows up--definitely not.]

It looks like a bunch of letters. So that was supposed to happen?

[All things considered, it's not like Hiro would have noticed he was being stalked anyway. And also all things considered it's not like he goes anywhere but Tadashi's at the end of the day. He hears the doorbell over and over but he's got his hands full. His face contorts in question because pizza? Really? But he shakes his head and looks up from the project he's working on to direct Baymax.]

Baymax, can you answer that...? [The robot moves from his place next to Hiro. Katsura can probably hear the squeaking of vinyl as Baymax walks toward the door and manages to pull it open, staring down at the nice (and maybe slightly crazy) man with his flyers.

Annnd the cheerful, circular wave.]

Hello! I am Baymax. How may I assist you?

[And then it clicks. There's literally only one person who would call him that and he snaps his head up to look back over toward the door.]

Katsura?

Yup! It's called a keyboard. The letters displayed are there for you to press so that you can send messages with words. Here, look at this.

[Give him a moment, he's setting up his own device for a text. Soon Korra's CereVice will receive a message that simply says Like this.]

Texts are sometimes easier to work with than calling a person, especially when you only need to say one quick thing. In my world there's also instant-messaging but that's through computers, usually.

[She stares down at the keyboard with a dubious expression. She isn't too sure about the easier part, but she'll take his word for it...mostly.]

Oh, wait. It's like print! [The characters aren't at all like the ones they use at home, but somehow she knows them as well as if she had grown up using this system.] I think I get it...sort of.

[Hesitantly, she types out a message and sends it to Hiro.]

Is this right?

_{[ The door creaks open and Katsura can only stare baffled at the giant inflatable thingy in front of him. His gaze goes from looking at his belly up to his face, especially when he speaks. Instantly, blood rushes to his cheeks in some gross blushing, but his face keeps extremely calm and stoic. ]}

Um.

_{[ He looks so soft? He looks really friendly? He looks like Elizabeth. No, nono. Elizabeth is a bird-- he has a beak and flippers but..

Already mesmerized by this creature, he coughs to the side and tries to appear professional ( though his face only gets redder. ) ]}

.. I'm here to recruit rebels who have shown there strength and I have deemed worthy of CERESistance. Please take a flyer.
_{[ and he hands Baymax one.
He gives no acknowledgement to Hiro. ]}

Edited (fuck me) 2015-08-20 03:53 (UTC)

Yeah, exactly! [He's not sending one back and that was via video, but he's pretty pleased she picked up on it so fast.] Texting's just easier sometimes if you're busy or you just can't talk to people. There once was a time where people didn't have video calling on their phones. It's really weird to think about. The more you do it the faster you'll get with it. It's pretty essential.

If you say so. [This time, Korra doesn't sound as skeptical, and she's even fiddling with the keyboard with an expression that is way less confused than before.]

Didn't think something like this would need a lot of practicing to get.

What is Σ(ノ°▽°)ノ supposed to be? I saw someone use it on these devices last time and forgot to ask you.

[LOOK, HIRO, SHE'S USING TEXT. Aren't you proud of her??]

No wait that wasn't what I wanted to talk to you about either. Are you in your apartment right now?

[Baymax pauses to consider, taking the flyer and scanning it before turning to waddle off to the side. He picks up a tape dispenser (and where he got that from, nobody's sure) and he starts to tear off pieces, taping the flyer to the wall.

And all Hiro can do is watch in mild horror at what's going on. Why are there flyers. What is Katsura doing. Baymax--well, Baymax sometimes does his own thing. He doesn't speak though before Baymax returns.]

We will take the flyer and read it carefully. But we are not good "rebels."

[May as well try again.] Baymax doesn't really get expressions like that. But you're handing out flyers for a rebellion? Seriously? [No he hasn't looked at them why do you ask.]

_{[ Katsura follows Baymax like a lost puppy, inviting himself into the apartment— though after he pads into a few steps he stops, meekly slipping off his sandals and putting them nearly by the door.

Then, he resumes on his way, following Baymax to the wall and merely watching him. Zura listens when Baymax speaks, though, it doesn't last long before he is unable to concentrate on anybody's words.

His eyes flicker down Baymax's body and he reaches out to touch his arm, seeing what he feels like.
Finally, he looks at Hiro when he speaks, though he keeps his hold on Baymax for a moment. ]}

Oh.
Yes, I have been doing this for weeks now. Do you want one too?
_{[ Katsura shuffles through his flyers and pulls out another one ( though this one looks like it has something else written on it. ) ]}
