[ Natasha's sitting at a table with a stack of black rectangular objects about the size of a palm. She holds up one close to the camera. ]

These are emergency radios in case our network goes down. They come with an inbuilt tracker [ a small hiss ] and three different types of lockpicks, which work for every door in the mansion assuming they haven't been altered. The button here [ she turns it over to demonstrate ] is a torch. No battery needed.

[ She gives it a quick shake, and the torch shines on the table. ]

If you want one, I'll be in the dining room.

Thanks, I'll be right down. [And he'll have to get a book on programming games from the library at some point. So he can trick Mabel into actually holding onto it.]

[voiceinthedark]

[He takes it when it's offered, and looks it over.]

It's a good idea. Especially after the last event. Radios are really good for comms.

[tremoring]

Give me like, a few minutes. [and then, five minutes later, there's a Daisy.]

Hey. [friendly tone, small wave.]

So, if it's no battery, how do these work? [tbh Fitz will probably want to tinker with his when she gives it to him.]

[araneidal]

I learnt as a girl. It's a useful thing to know when you're on your own.

So it seems.

Kinetic energy. Just shake it.

No offence taken.

[intelligently]

Thanks.

( And with no pockets to carry it in Lydia keeps it in her hands )

Hopefully we won't have a need to use them but there's always a backup. Does the radio broadcast to all radios?

[heroica]

I can imagine. We don't have that kind of technology in Thedas, but... we do have sending stones. They're enchanted, though, and not... electric.

[ That's the word, isn't it? She's been trying to learn, at least. ]

Were you on your own before Wonderland?

[vampdetective]

Would you say it's easier to use than a cell phone?

[Look. This is important, okay?]

[Video]

[araneidal]

Yes.

[Video]

[vampdetective]

Count me in.

[Video]

[araneidal]

I'll save one for you.

What's so difficult about cell phones?

[Action]

[araneidal]

There's no telling if it might short out in the future; the parts are all from the closets, and therefore are technically Wonderland magic.

[araneidal]

[ Yes, that's the word. Natasha flashes her a quick smile. ]

Yes. I was looking for someone who didn't want to be found.

[araneidal]

Yes, or you can tune it to a specific one, it's the button next to the speaker.

[Video]

[vampdetective]

Pretty sure they were made by a bored warlock.

[Really, the answer is nothing is that difficult about them-- Angel is just inept.]

[Video]

[araneidal]

Or perhaps you're a little old-fashioned.

[circlejerked]

Ah well, that's what trial and error is for. We'll just have to wait and see.

_{[He laughs and spreads his hands in a "don't ask me" way.]}

Aha, no idea! I'm sure I could recreate the torch effect with the magic I have, but so far Wonderland's magic has resisted letting me get inside the spellwork and see what's at the bottom of the events and all this chaotic interference.

[righthemisphere]

No.. no, I'll come and get it. No telling what he'd do to it.

video > action;

[araneidal]

I'll be here all afternoon.

[heroica]

Not an easy task. [ The little, knowing smile that she offers suggests the Warden has done something similar in her own time. ] Were you able to manage it?

[araneidal]

Resisted how?

[araneidal]

Not yet — I was brought here in the middle of it.
