Echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo.

Is this thing for real?

A bit. You show yours and I'll show mine.

[cosmetological]

If you insist.

[devoutish]

No moving pictures?


[He turns on the video for himself, but just briefly. His clothes are old-fashioned, and the room behind him looks to be, too.]

[ The room around him is Very Very White and decorated in a more modern style; spotless and largely impersonal. He's flopped on a couch. His voice says quite clearly that he's American. ]

You want moving? I give you moving and sound.

[ Cue a fluttery wave. ]

Though you're rocking some interesting duds, friend. Should I ask what year or just which cosplay group?

[devoutish]

[He switches to video permanently too, peering closely at the screen.]

Better, yeah. Can't believe the quality on these - and sound, too.

1922. What's a cosplay group?

[cosmetological]

1922. Huh. If I liked myself less, I'd ask if you knew my sister.

[ He dismisses that, though. ]

Cosplay: people who dress up as things they're not, usually historical stuff or characters from stories. Your look happens to be in for some of them.

[devoutish]

It's a big world, mate. We don't all know each other in 1922.

[ That gets a laugh. ]

I didn't actually think so. If I did, I sure as heck wouldn't make any cracks about her age to you. She's bizarrely sensitive about it.

[devoutish]

What year are you from, then?

video

[cosmetological]

Add about ninety years on you and you've got me. Way later.

video

[devoutish]

Ninety years. 2010s? These picture phones must be old hat for you, mate.

[cosmetological]

A little. But to be fair, I used to live with a guy who couldn't go much past the 1950s techwise, so I appreciate the little things.
