Also, they make good stocking stuffers

[razorblade_empress]

Okay, I know there's a lot going on at the moment...

[what with dungeons, walkabout fallout, whatever the hell's going on with that penalty box...]

...but I just wanted to give anyone who might be interested a heads-up that Infoglasses are now available on a first come, first serve basis. I figure I can make maybe three a month to start with, so if anyone wants a pair, let me know.

For anyone who doesn't know what Infoglasses are, they're basically glasses that double as a portable display for computers, TVs, and other devices. They've got wi-fi access, provide their own hotspot, and have a massive photographic database onboard, so you can use them to look at a given object, compare it to similar objects on file, and pull information about them from the database. They're Spark-era tech, so... pretty advanced.

Anyway, I'm around if anyone wants a pair.

Muggle technology is really quite remarkable.

[She's never heard of these before]

[razorblade_empress]

It's got its moments.

[haveabiscuit]

I can certainly understand the advantages here.

[razorblade_empress]

They've got their limits, but they're pretty useful most of the time.

[haveabiscuit]

More portable than a physical library.

[razorblade_empress]

A lot more portable.

So did you want a pair, or...?

[haveabiscuit]

I would like to observe, at least.

I haven't dealt with much Muggle technology since roughly the timeframe of the last Jaunt.

[razorblade_empress]

Okay. Let me know if you decide you want a pair at some point.

What was the timeframe of the last Jaunt, anyway? I was on the walkabout, so I'm still playing catch-up.

[haveabiscuit]

The 1950s, though history took a somewhat different course.

For mundane reasons, for a change.

[razorblade_empress]

Huh. What was going on there?

[haveabiscuit]

Filmmaking. We made it through... nearly the entire Jaunt witout any violence that wasn't staged.

[So close yet so far.]

[razorblade_empress]

"...Nearly"?

[haveabiscuit]

Props were switched near the end of the Jaunt.

[razorblade_empress]

...Great.

[What the hell, people.]

Was anyone badly hurt?

[haveabiscuit]

One of the actors was hit, but she was out of hospital and back on set by the time we left.

As Jaunts go, we don't seem to have overly damaged the integrity of that world.

[razorblade_empress]

At least it wasn't a more serious injury.

That's something.

[They are really not very good at not making their presence felt.]

[haveabiscuit]

Indeed. A film career seems like a disproportionate thing to do that over, but at least it wasn't more severe.

The lack of total disarray counts for more than it has any business.

[razorblade_empress]

Yeah, you'd think.

And... yeah, given our record, a lack of disarray counts for a lot.

[haveabiscuit]

I've noticed that even on the lower stake Jaunts, the people involved seem to find the stakes quite compelling.

[razorblade_empress]

Seems that way, yeah. Probably a good thing.

[haveabiscuit]

At least until firearms are involved.

[razorblade_empress]

...Yeah.

[Seriously, what the fuck.]

[haveabiscuit]

At least Rome didn't reach that point.

[razorblade_empress]

Did Rome even have firearms?

[haveabiscuit]

Well, no.

But I don't recall anyone getting stabbed on that Jaunt.
