barbecue.

[Night, and a campfire outside of town, in the lightly forested scrubland of the Neloi Flats. A good rendezvous point for a ragtag bunch of abductees; a point of interest for any stragglers, where fellow otherworlders can be found.

Just follow the smell of cooking meat. There's...there's a lot of it.

And while you're all feeding yourselves, there's a lot to talk about. For instance: who the fuck were the people that brought everyone here? What did they want? Who's interested in finding a way back home, and what's the best way to tackle that question? Where will everyone stay? How will everyone get along in this place?

All that and more, at the campfire.]

Oh?

[Yay, he can be useful!]

Point me his way, and I'll see what I can do.

[photoshooter]

Huh? Oh, that's me. You're really a mechanic?

[planetary_bonds]

[Hey there, buddy. Have a slight nod.]

Aaa, I am. I've been trying to make sense of the magical tech around here while I've been around.

[photoshooter]

Oh. Is it different from normal? I didn't really notice anything too out of the ordinary, besides the shapes of some of it.

["setting like a jrpg fast forwarded to modern times" did you mean: Final Fantasy XV]

[planetary_bonds]

The tech I'm used to is a bit less magic-based. Momentum seems somewhat similar to these forces people are describing, so I figure I can get a handle on it soon enough.

[It helps that they're treating magic like physics! Very nice.]

[photoshooter]

I don't know what kinda mechanic you are, but do you think you could make our phones work? 'Cause I looked at a map, and it's a big world out here. It'd help if we could stay in contact with one another.

[planetary_bonds]

Give me some time with them, and I should be able to establish a connection.

[If he can make an outdated homemade duel disk connect to the Multi-Voice Duel Network back home, he can definitely get these phones connected to...whatever network this is!

Eventually!]

[photoshooter]

Really? Oh, man, you are awesome! Here, here's mine--

[And he offers Yuusei his smartphone.]

Uh, try not to delete my game data, though. Okay?

[planetary_bonds]

I'll make sure there's a backup, at least.

[Yuusei, no.

But hey, he's taking that smartphone and looking it over.]

[photoshooter]

[IDK man, it's a phone. Nothing special about it. Looks like his most used apps are the camera function, social media, and some game-looking things.]

Oh, and my pictures. Gotta save those, too.

[planetary_bonds]

Of course.

[Let's just say everything gets backed up.]

Are there any other phones you want me to look at?

[lostcompany]

...I think I wanna hold onto mine for now. Not to knock your skills or anything, but it's how I keep Chiro around, you know?

[He'll go in for the upgrade once Yusei's more familiar with the tech, is what he's saying.]

[planetary_bonds]

That's fair. I wouldn't want to do anything that might endanger your friend.

[maximumest]

[No help from Broly there, who just gestures in Prompto's direction AFTER he's already spoken up. There he is!]
