[ In a rare display, Emet-Selch opts to appear in person. This is important enough to warrant an appearance, he thinks.
The backdrop appears to be a cabin on a ship somewhere. He fills most of the screen so there's not much of significance to be gleaned from it. His posture is relaxed, fingers interlaced loosely before him on the table that his shellphone sits upon. ]
Greetings, one and all.
I and Rem Tokimiya of the Raiders of the Lost Arts are seeking engineers to assist with the development of an engine. 'Tis past time we made a concerted effort to develop one. Inevitable, I would say, as this world has progressed to magical trinkets. We have examined schematics of an old pirate ship and seek to eventually put it to practical use to improve the fleets of both paladins and corsairs.
[ He pauses. It looks as though he wants to add something but he seems to think better of it. ]
Send word to either myself or Rem if you are interested in contributing to the work. While an engine capable of powering a ship is our eventual goal, 'twill be enough to make something on a smaller scale for now - such as heaters for winter or automatic fans for summer.

[A blacksmith or goldsmith, huh? It's a good thing Denji has the perfect person in mind most likely capable of both those things! Especially after bestowing jewelry making tools to the man upon his birthday none too recently.]
Yo I know just the guy! His name is Cid and he's super nerdy in a good way and knows how to do all this kind of shit. I'm sure he would be willing to help us out!

If I have time to tinker, I'll consider your request.
[ Even if Cid doesn't lend a hand, there are other artisans about. He can work something out surely. ]

Out of curiosity, what are these movies and video games you were hoping to see?
no subject
Wait, what?! You have never heard of video games or even a movie!? What kinda boring place do you come from dude!?
no subject
[ Something to do with motion, but what? ]
no subject
What do you mean video games and movies are fucking awesome dude!! Sometimes you just want to chill out on the couch and watch television with your pals or girlfriend and get lucky.
[Haven't you ever heard of Netflix and chill, Emet!? Gosh you are such a troglodyte.]
no subject
Let's pretend I understood what you meant by all that and move on, shall we?
I gather what you're asking for is some way to watch these things. I suppose that's simpler than creating a network.
no subject
Yup that's right! I wanna be able to watch some movies again when I have some downtime back at my crib that I have now.
[Which he'd only just acquired after the better part of two months either living in the tavern's rooms or the majority of the time on the streets like a stray dog.]

The only thing kinda like a TV is these shellphones we are talking on right now except way bigger!! As for a movie well if you know you know?

Movies either come on DVDs or if you are old school video tapes but a lot of people just stream shit nowadays too! There are a bunch of options to choose from but I'm gonna be real DVDs are probably the easiest since they are disks!
You're old you gotta know about records, right? Its just a smaller version of those dude!
no subject
[ Amidst all this mess and confusion, at least there's something he recognises: ]
I know what vinyl records are but what in Zodiark's name is a 'DVD'? You say they're a smaller version of a vinyl record?
no subject
Beats me how they actually work I just watch them!

Plastic... I'm not familiar with that term. But fine, I can see I will not get any meaningful help from you about this. I will ask others and see if they know aught.
