GGaD » (@Marsh) Well, sneaking around a palace is fun!

Marsh · May 5, 2021 14:39:58

Frances paused, thinking about the question, "no.. not really." he shook his head slightly "I'm not a picky eater and I don't really have any preferences."

(Frances is going to become a cotton candy enthusiast the moment I introduce him to it.. don't ask me why cotton candy, I just think it fits him)

Echowo · May 5, 2021 15:59:50

"Hmm... How about drink?"

Marsh · May 5, 2021 16:10:12

Frances takes a few moments to think about it, "Water I guess? Elaine is quite fond of those fruity alcoholic beverages but I don't like anything alcoholic...bad memories with drunkards y'know."

Echowo · May 5, 2021 16:16:13

"Ah, same, my parents drank a lot," Apollo said. "I rarely drink, and when I do it's for a big celebration. Even then, I don't drink enough to really get tipsy."

Marsh · May 5, 2021 16:23:34

Frances nods understandably, not quite sure what to say...again

Echowo · May 5, 2021 20:43:22

"Favourite colour?"

Marsh · May 5, 2021 20:53:27

"Green," He answered without hesitation, "emerald green... I just think it's a really nice color."

Echowo · May 5, 2021 21:13:08

"Hmm, it is! It's very pretty. I like gold a lot. Watch movies?"

Marsh · May 5, 2021 21:15:16

"movies?" He asked, sounding confused "Oh you mean one of those moving pictures in the modern sect? Marsh has told me about them but I've yet to actually see one..."

Echowo · May 5, 2021 21:21:03

Apollo's eyes lit up from indigo to gold as he excitedly looked up and said, "Duuude! I totally need to bring a movie and show you!"

Marsh · May 5, 2021 21:30:18

Frances looked a bit startled "Don't you need like a special device to play it on? I'm pretty sure we don't have one of those...yeah we definitely don't have one of those..."

Echowo · May 5, 2021 21:35:20

"I can totally bring one!"

This man sure likes movies.

Marsh · May 5, 2021 21:38:20

"...how? Aren't they like super big or something?"

Echowo · May 5, 2021 21:40:06

"I can use magic to get it here!"

Apollo was very determined.

Marsh · May 5, 2021 21:54:08

"...right because magic can do anything... you know what, uh I'm sure eventually Marsh will take us around the modern sect, Elli's been begging for a tour of the other sects, so uh we can go watch one then? There's no need to move such a big mechanism all the way over here... where are you even gonna get one of those devices?" Frances still seemed a bit skeptical of the idea.

Echowo · May 5, 2021 21:58:07

"I'm sure I can just buy one," Apollo said. His eyes died down to a more blueish colour.

"If you want to wait to watch one, that's fine."

Marsh · May 5, 2021 22:04:07

"..you can buy one? I thought you had to like go into this huge room filled with chairs to see them?" Frances tilted his head, puzzled. It seems he does not know TVs exist.

Echowo · May 5, 2021 22:06:13

"Oh! You thought I meant a movie theater! I'm talking about a TV or a computer."

Marsh · May 5, 2021 22:07:15

He blinks, confused "what?"

Echowo · May 5, 2021 22:12:28

Apollo thought for a moment.

"Erm... A TV is a box that you can see movies on while a computer is kinda like a phone but bigger and able to fold!"

Marsh · May 5, 2021 22:14:30

"oh." It was the kind of oh that said he had no idea what Apollo was talking about but he also doesn't want to ask so he's just gonna pretend he knows what Apollo is saying.

Echowo · May 5, 2021 22:17:49

Apollo isn't exactly oblivious, so he pulls out his phone and beckons Frances over, pulling up a picture of a laptop.

"This is a computer!"

Marsh · May 5, 2021 22:39:49

Frances suddenly turned towards the door. He'd heard footsteps outside, vampire hearing, and just as he turns the knob to open the door, Elaine slams the door open "I'm home～"

"Ah welcome back-"

Elaine didn't hear Frances, her focus immediately on the device in Apollo's hand. "Oh what's this?" She asked, reaching out to grab the phone.

(I was very tempted to make her say "OwO what's this")

Echowo · May 6, 2021 05:39:30

Apollo, surprised, jerked back very suddenly.

"Oh, uh," Apollo recollected his composure and held the phone up again.

"This is the phone owned by the great Apollo himself!" Apollo grinned, handing it to Elaine carefully.

(XD)

"Oooooooooooh so this is a phone!" Elaine prodded at the device, inspecting it curiously "...so how does it work? It's so...thin."

Echowo · May 6, 2021 14:33:12

"Technology is a great thing!" Apollo said while nodding. Not much of an answer.

Elaine clicked off of the web search to his home screen. The wallpaper was of a photo of a group of people that looked very similar to Apollo. They all had the dark gold colouring of his hair and eyes ranging from blues to purples to green. They all looked very young. In the center of the group was a younger-looking Apollo, his hair much shorter than it is now (it was tied up into a ponytail) He wasn't smiling, none of them were except for the few younger ones. There was about fourteen children/teens in all.

App-wise, Apollo has a few games. Not much, really.

Marsh · May 6, 2021 14:45:55

At this point Elaine is just randomly tapping the screen, then looking confused "...this is magic right? one cannot possibly store all this in such a thin device. Marsh did say it's not magic but...it must be magic?"

Echowo · May 6, 2021 15:55:55

Apollo gave a soft laugh.

"Nope! Technology is advanced enough to store all of it's data and programming in a thin, little card thing! Isn't it cool?"

She clicked open YouTube, which showed really weird videos and a lot of music videos. A lot of the music is made by some guy named "Alma Amor". There are also painting, cosplay, meme, and skit videos from a channel called "The Garlic Bread Bois". Weird.

She stares at the screen, even more confused "...are these...those like what's it called uh, moving picture thingys?"

Echowo · May 6, 2021 16:22:03

Apollo looked at the phone and explained, "Those are videos! Pretty neat, right?"
