Who: Wander and whoever's walking by
Where: The Plaza
When: Morning
Style: Prose to start, will match
Status: Open

In the plaza, it seems that there's yet another newcomer.

...One that looks like he might not have lasted in the process of arriving.

He's lying face down on the cobblestone, soaking wet, dark shadowy veins standing out against his deathly pale skin. His clothing is covered with unidentifiable stains, and he smells like dust kicked up by a rainstorm. It's the very definition of One Dead Human. Except for the small black horns sticking out from underneath his hair.

Finally he stirs, his voice tinged by a dull echo as he groans in the effort of trying to pull himself to his feet. He gets to his knees before he starts coughing, spitting out seawater that's followed by a thick black smoke that settles like dust on the ground.

...Yeah, he's definitely not looking so good. He may need a hand or two.

"I'll call you so you can see what kind of sound it makes." He presses the name on the screen and waits for the device to ring.

"After you have rested I can show you some of the functions of it."

[lostwanderer]

He startles at the sound. It's so unlike anything he's ever heard before. "So...it's for communicating over long distances?"

The screen confuses him, and to make the sound stop, he presses the first button he can find over his thumb. At least it hung up the call instead of answering it. "This isn't like anything I've seen before."

"A lot of worlds don't have technology like this. It just takes some getting used to. But you can call anyone you want, no matter where they are..as long as they are on this world." Fai scrolls up and pauses when he gets to his own name..which shows up twice.

Fai points to his name, "Fai D. Flourite is me..the one that is simply listed as Fai is my brother. If you ever need me, that is how you would call me."

"Is that what these marks are? Words?" Wander stares at them, trying to commit the marks to memory. That was... Just one more thing that made his world was so different. All of their knowledge was passed down through the voice of the shamans.

Of course, this really just confirms the fact that Wander can't read.

"Can I see your device for a moment?" Fai could figure out what the issue was and he had a plan to make things easier.

[lostwanderer]

"All right." He handed it over without comment, still thinking on the repercussions of this. If they had a written language back home... Well, it would ensure that they never had to listen to Emon drone on and on ever again. Which would be why the old man would probably proclaim it blasphemy or some nonsense.

After all, if some of the markings he'd seen in the forbidden land were words too...

Fai held the camera up and pushed a button. A small clicking sound was heard and then he looked at the screen and pushed a few more buttons. "There!" Fai set it back down on the table and next to his name on the contact list was a little picture.

"Now all you have to do is look for my picture and you will know that you are calling me! If you do that for everyone you meet, it will make it easier to find them on the long list."
