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.[Someone really has no idea how these things work, being from the dark ages is utter bullshit with all this new tech.]

Hope all you want. Just don't cry when you're let down. Or when your bracelet "makes eyes" at you.
no subject
Aw, come on now. I wouldn't go so far as to cry, you know.
...
Also, the bracelet making eyes at me is completely different. I just like my privacy, is all.

That's why you learn how to use it before you start counting your candy collection. I'm saying that if you'd just take your focus away from your sweets long enough to ask, people would tell you how to keep this from happening.
Hope only goes so far.

Groan. I feel like I'm being lectured by a certain old friend of mine. Good Gods and Grima, can't a bloke make a damned mistake in this place without being scolded.
You're a pretty dour guy, you know that?
Or lady, you could be a grumpy lady.
