video/text: un: saccharine
[The video startup seems pretty normal at first, until you realise that a certain freckled ginger isn't actually paying any attention whatsoever to the camera. He's sitting on one of the saloon beds, taking inventory of... snacks. Cookies, candies, fruit--even little wrapped bars of chocolate. He's talking to himself about something about 'not having enough for such a long trip', and it's only then that he realises that his bracelet is flashing with some... sort of irritating light.
He frowns, a look on his face that's pretty offended as he moves to put a hand down over it, and the video cuts off for a second, only for the screen to flip instead, to text.
Were ALASTAIR's clever little (magic?) bracelets not programmed with a thought-to-text function, it might be alright, but of course--Gaius has pretty poor luck, so instead:]
[Someone really has no idea how these things work, being from the dark ages is utter bullshit with all this new tech.]

Just what I need in my life, weird gods-be-damned enchanted jewelry making eyes at me when I'm in the middle of something important.

I used to be one of those fellas who liked to 'work alone', honestly. But let's just say that a few things have happened in recent years that pretty much made me a little more on the okay side of working with others. [Being recruited into an army made 'working with others' a very suddenly necessary skill.]
A... pipe. Alright. [He squints at it. He's never seen a weapon like that before. Interesting. At least the 'fire' thing he could understand.]
Can't say I'm much of a magic user myself. So it's just a sword and my bow for me.

Though for a moment there.. I thought you were calling me names on purpose. [Considering what kind of fandangled language he's using, of course Sabo wouldn't know.... he's like ???? OKAY, sure.]
Good to note.. I'm usually a team player myself. [That's a lie, Sabo. You run off on your own more so than you work with other people in the Army.]
I guess you could say that. But I mean if you can turn this into fire too, it could count... [He puts his hand down then, his hand now disappearing into flame itself.] But swords and bows totally work for taking out your opponents... as long as you know how to use them against guns.
