[ well now he has to help, so. he gets up fully to be able to show her. ]
Not a whole lotta technology where you're from, huh? [ he turns the gummiphone on and presses the screen to show her because yes, the gummiphone is a smart phone ] Here. It's pretty intuitive. You just press the little icons and stuff shows up.
Yep. You got it. [ he's not gonna argue that? anyway at least one of those icons leads to the camera app, which is currently front facing because selfies exist ] Oh, I was wondering when you'd hit that one.
It's taking pictures, yeah. You might wanna stop pushing the button.
[ he's trying to think of how to explain photos now, this is horrible ]
It's a pretty normal thing for phones to do where I'm from. It's something with the camera recording the light as it bounces into the lens, and that creates an image to people's eyes.
The button? Oh! This is a button? [She takes her finger off the on-screen button, frowning at it.] It had no particularly different feeling, so I wasn't aware.
So this is a... phone. [Alright.]
And the phone's... camera, was it? It takes... images? And keeps them?
Yeah, it's a touch screen. [ ... what does that even mean to her. ] Anyway, you got the gist of it. The camera stores the pictures in the phone, an' you can look at them pretty much whenever.
he presses on the screen for her a few times to show her the pictures. she will see, on top of the pictures of herself, a bunch of pictures of the people from here!
and then some who are not from here if she goes back any further ]
[Unaware of proper smartphone etiquette, she scrolls back, and selects one at random with enough color and faces to be interesting, and starts swiping through.]

[Elympios could probably do it, but........ let's not talk about them.]

[ he sounds a bit confused, and so decides to clarify: ]
Yeah, this thing runs on happy faces.
[ what. ]

[ he looks at the phone with a shrug, completely unashamed of that ]
Gummis sorta run on the power of ... good feelings in general, I guess? Or at least that's what I gathered.
no subject
I see!
So if this device is receiving power... then you're feeling good?
no subject
.......Sure.
no subject
[this is said without a trace of irony as she continues to fiddle with the device, poking every single icon on the screen like a toddler.]
no subject
Yep. You got it. [ he's not gonna argue that? anyway at least one of those icons leads to the camera app, which is currently front facing because selfies exist ] Oh, I was wondering when you'd hit that one.
no subject
[Answer: currently taking a lot of Milla selfies.]
Is it storing images of me? How? I assume this is the same function that was investigated in the trial, but it still seems...
[Outlandish, nuts, impossible???]

Here, that's the gallery.
no subject
Did you take these all here?
[Unaware of proper smartphone etiquette, she scrolls back, and selects one at random with enough color and faces to be interesting, and starts swiping through.]
no subject
Hey, wait a-- I mean, yeah, I did--
[ it is all pictures of the same people! Xion, a boy with blond hair, Saix with green eyes, some other teens--
wait ]
Don't just go through these without asking!
no subject
What an interesting collection! I recognize some of the people in these photos, but others I assume are not here.
Saix looks quite different in these, doesn't he? Are they old?
no subject
He's-- they're not old. It's... complicated.
no subject
What part of it is complicated? I'm happy to listen. I'd like to know more about your friends.
[THEY ARE DEFINITELY FRIENDS
AXEL HAS FRIENDS!!!!]
no subject
He's... kinda not himself, right now. I dunno how to explain it.
no subject
As in, you've never seen him quite like this before?
no subject
[ wait, too sulky. he waves a hand around ]
It's hard to explain, but even though these pictures are recent enough for me, they kinda... haven't happened for him yet?
no subject
[This one isn't too rough, considering spirit finagling.]
Are you saying you're both from different points in time? A split universe?
