Jan 16th - Video - un: monkey

[moonape]

[Now that everyone is awake and not shared dreaming. Have a talking gorilla on the network!]

Uh, hello there. To hopefully get a few things out of the way, yes I can talk, no you're not imagining it. How can I talk? It's complicated.

My name is Winston, nice to um, meet you all?

[He winces with an awkward smile.]

So I've been having a look at the network set up here through the device provided and it's interesting to say the least. A few of my major questions have been answered looking back at things, but gotta ask just in case. Are these Technicians available for a chat or is this on a "them" basis?

Comments

[legbreakings]

No, nothing of the sort. I didn't even know what an electronic device is until I arrived here.

[ He still doesn't understand them but he can at least reasonably certainly pick one out of an assortment of objects. ]

I don't know what a Tesla Cannon is, either. Is it a kind of shotgun?

[moonape]

[Hmm, interesting. Not his place to judge either, the world still turned and got on without electricity before it's invention after all.]

Oh! Haha, sorry about that I should have explained- or here, let me show you.

[Winston is already outside which helps and he'll just prop his gorilla sized phone up before backing a decent amount away. He's got something with him, it's a big strange looking gun? Thing?]

Hopefully you can see alright.

[Pushing his glasses up he'll hold his weapon to the side so it's aimed away from the phone.]

I built it myself actually. It generates electricity that will attack multiple targets primarily in front of it at a relatively short distance. Observe-

[And with him holding the trigger down to his weapon it seems to come to life! Taking a moment to jump start, but soon lightning seems to spark and dance from the end of it. Arcing out and crackling until Winston let's the trigger go.]

Let's just say it doesn't feel good getting shocked by this. I'm sure you've seen lighting before, it's like being hit by lightning in a sense.

[Sure. We'll go with that.]

[legbreakings]

Oh!

[ Jiang Cheng does indeed get a good look on the canon, and he is absolutely delighted by the purple lightning it is spitting out. ]

It's like my Zidian! A weapon spitting lightning, just that yours doesn't come shaped into a whip, it's more unrestrained!

[ But it's beautiful, as the obvious joy on his face clearly shows, even his whole monkey issues are forgotten in the wake of this discovery. ]

I would love to see it up close sometime.

[moonape]

[What a pleasant change. It seems he's proved himself or won this man over for the time being.]

You have an electric whip?

[See that sounds like some sort of tech, but hadn't ge said they didn't have that?]

I think I'd like to have a look at this Zidian of yours too. Once I'm a little more settled I think we could work out something.

[legbreakings]

That is acceptable. I can wait. Getting to see another lightning weapon in use will be worth the wait.

[ Brightening, he holds up his right hand into the camera, showing the ring and snake bracelet, and channels a little bit of spiritual energy into it to make it spark with lightning. ]

This is Zidian. I'll show you what it looks like when extended to a whip when we meet for the demonstration.

[moonape]

[Winston peers in closer at the screen when Jiang Cheng gives him a tiny display of Zidian. Hm. Very interesting.]

Would contacting you through the network to set up a time later be best?

[legbreakings]

Yes, that is fine. I have figured out how to receive messages on this object.

[ Look at him. Be proud of him. He's a smart cookie. ]

[moonape]

[With how much he uses the phones and the network as his personal diary it's only right he knows how to use it. A+ and a gold star for Jiang Cheng!]

Then I'll be in touch.

[A beat of realization-]

Oh- I don't think I got your name?

[legbreakings]

[ He deserves all the gold stars for being a tech whiz. ]

I'm Jiang Wanyin, leader of the Yunmeng Jiang sect. You can find me under the same name on this thing here.

[ The thing. The phone thing. Okay, maybe he deserves a bronze star. ]

[moonape]

[We stan a tech whiz king.]

Jiang Wanyin. Got it.

[Hmm... Yunmeng Jiang sect. Sounds fancy. Must be a powerful family thing?]

[legbreakings]

[ Since the whole saluting is kind of difficult with one hand holding the phone, he only gives a shallow bow. ]

I'll speak to you soon then. Winston. [ Wait. ] Is that your complete name, Winston?

[moonape]

That's all of it, yup. Can't say it's very fancy, but picked it all on my own.

[The name means quite a lot to him, but he probably won't get into that here and now.]

[legbreakings]

I see. [ He does not see. But even Jiang Cheng has some tact. ]

I will speak to you soon then, Winston.
