Accidental Video + Partial Audio Transmission

Accidental Video

[ The video opens up to a view of shaking scenery and rushing lights and color, as it the device recording it has just been dropped from a significant height. The movement ceases when the device lands on the floor, still recording with its camera pointed upwards.

The foyer it shows is clearly familiar to everyone in Wonderland as the front of the mansion. What's not quite so familiar is the giant glowing UFO now hovering and weaving up near the ceiling. Green lights shoot out, scanning the surroundings, sweeping over every surface with an eerie glow.

Even the fallen phone gets scanned, although once it is, the UFO goes suspiciously still overhead before swooping down towards it with a startling speed. There's a voice, one that sounds suspiciously like a young girl, that gives a quiet exclamation. ]

Oops! Almost lost you. Hello there, my precious.

[ ...And then a metallic-looking tentacle snakes out from the bottom of the UFO to press the button that cuts the feed off entirely.

Just another day in Wonderland, right? There's totally nothing to see here, and certainly not a floating spaceship hovering in your entranceway. Carry on. ]

Audio

[ Although a short while later, a number of phones across the mansion might receive an audio transmission as someone tries to figure out and manipulate the strange network in this place and how to filter it to where she needs it to go. Hopefully she finds the targets she's looking for, but other inhabitants might pick it up accidentally as well. ]

Joker, Queen? Can you hear me? Mona, Panther, anyone, come in??

[Ann is used to hearing Futaba's voice in her head-- less so from her phone. She still hasn't managed to find her way out of the caverns she'd awakened in, but she fumbles to pull both her own phone and the second device she'd found on her person out of her pocket.

Well, hers didn't have any service, but this one sure seemed to.]

Oracle! Are you okay?

[finewithhalf]

The queen of hearts usually doesn't answer personal calls like that. But it's cool of you to try like that.

[ Okay. Okay, there are a lot of things that one could get excited about in Wonderland, but a UFO? ]

Ah—! Galaga's finally hit this gen!

[ that's worth the hype. ]

[jivitadana]

[Video might work out better even after hearing that audio transmission after the video scene that was broadcasted earlier. She sounded new.]

Welcome to Wonderland. I think the spaceship thing is welcome too.

[ He'd zoned out for who knows how long — he certainly doesn't, in any case — when the familiar voice on his device shakes him out of his reverie. Yusuke blinks a few times and then reaches into his pocket, examining the device for a long moment. ]

Oracle? Is that you?

Audi (o)

[notcat]

Oracle! Hear ya loud and clear. We really should've worked on that GPS mount for my dashboard. It would've been so useful right now. Did we mess up an infiltration? What's going on?

[eatsyourscience]

I don't think I've seen someone arrive with a spaceship before.

[And he's seen a lot of people arrive.]

[actualwizard]

[ Well....thats not a sight he sees often..or ever. At least not in UFO form. ]

Are...is that a UFO? Are you in a UFO?

video;

[seeingthings]

[Seriously? A UFO?]

Well, now I've seen fucking everything. [A beat.] Or I would be able to say that if this place hadn't already made me think that half a dozen times already.

[moraloutrage]

[A particularly intense teenager sees the UFO in action over the video feed... and he immediately panics, with a startled shout.]

AH- AH- ALIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEENS?!

Is this an invasion??!

video

[divaricate]

Oh, wow.

[That sure does look like a ufo type ship right out of scifi movie, yup.

Now, with a tone that's somewhere between curious and confused: ]

Did you make that here? Your, um -- ship?

Video

[tattooedredheads]

[Kay squints at the screen, not quite sure what to make of this UFO.]

You didn't get that from the Citadel, right?

video;

[hairdont]

[That sure is a UFO. All it really serves to do is remind him of someone.]

Hey, Mikitaka! That you?!

audio;

[catchacold]

...Mona?

[One of these things is not like the others.]

Who's called that?

[Video] You said I could backtag

[literalidiotball]

[Beep beep! You get a cute little spherical robot on a mechanical arm filming himself in front of a mirror.]

Oh! Lucky you! You get tentacle things to grab the phone. Don't have to get it installed into your hard drive because you don't have hands.

[... Wait, that isn't how to greet newcomers. Let's try that again.]

Uh. No hard feelings, though.

It's always nice to have another robot in Wonderland.

[... *cough*]

... I'm Wheatley.
