Right, then...

[The view on this video is continuously sliding upwards, very slowly, as if whatever the communicator was propped up on was not quite stable enough for the purpose.]

...I think this is working. What wild art. We could get so much done with this...

I need a favor from someone with crafting ability. This thing is clearly designed for a larger person, and I need some kind of mantle or carrier to keep it with me comfortably. It's more than a mouthful. [There is a pause while she looks upward, and the view slides slowly, steadily off-kilter.] I... don't have any materials, and I don't have any local credit, but I can work off the debt if you need it. I'm a good hunter and as a graduate of the College, I swear I'm good for the time.

Oh— my name's Quintet.

Thanks? I think it's— okay.

[The video blips out just as the communicator flips completely on its back, showing the ceiling above her, and the bottom of Quintet's paw coming in.]

Lark? I met her. She didn't mention— or, maybe she did? I was still pretty turned-around...

[Hell of a name, Omega. The video is still from the floor, with Quintet looking downward into the camera. She tilts her head thoughtfully... Where to get ahold of Lark? She still didn't know her way around this place.]

Thanks, that's a big help. I'll ask her, when I find her.

[The girl smiles.]

You're welcome. Oh, you can probably contact her through the device. It'll be a lot faster than just trying to look for her. There should be a directory with everyone listed.

[quintet]

It can do that too?

This thing is versatile. Did they have something like this where you're from too, or have you just been here long enough to learn it? Are there classes?

[small_compromise]

Yes, it can. I...don't think there's anything that really explains what they do- it's all icons. I can try to tell you what each of them do, but it's not too hard to figure out by trying them out.

But yes, there are similar devices back where I'm from. I used to have a comlink before I got here, but it was only for communicating with my brothers.

I've been mostly working by trial and error, but the symbology is a little weird. I think I can work it out on my own, but would you mind if I came to you for advice, if I get stuck?

It'd be nice to have an expert available to back me up.

[small_compromise]

Trial and error's probably how most people have managed to work their way around the available options.

[Omega laughs a little.]

I'm hardly an expert but I'll be happy to help explain things as I can if you need it.
