It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
Except there is, perhaps, a few things amiss.
This post functions as the general mingle post for the week. Wanted Posters and other small events will be posted in top levels below. If there's any questions or requests, please send a PM or shoot a PP to robowest.
You'll have to excuse me if I don't feel completely safe with a psycho holding it. Can't someone else hold it and you just tell them what you want to do?
And you're not going to have a crazy fit and smash it to the ground due to your anger management issues? Or refuse to play nice with the other kids in the sandbox and not give it back?
[Welp. He'll hand it to Ash, then; in a crowd of people and some with good reflexes, including Shinnosuke, even Ash can make a stupid move only so well.]
true to his word, he neither dashes it against the ground (or Shinnosuke's face) nor makes a break for it with the camera in his hands. Instead, he quickly begins turning it over, looking for any input adapters that might be present on the outside. It would be easier to try interfacing with it directly. ]
[ FINALLY!!! progress. He smiles to himself when he finds it. This should be easy.
Ash reaches into his mouth, underneath his tongue, and - rather grotesquely - pulls out a long cable that seems to be connected directly to him, plugging it into the camera. Don't worry, it's not wet or anything... ]
[ Sib, why do you keep giving me these things where I'm like I REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT ANYONE TO GO THIS ROUTE
Anyway.
What Ash is going to get in response is a whole lot of static. Ash isn't, naturally, the thing the camera's supposed to be plugged into so as of right now, it doesn't exactly know what to feed back into him. ]
this certainly is a primitive piece of technology. That will either work in his favor or be a huge pain in the ass. Ignoring the static - he's not really looking for visual feedback - he tries instead to look for the video feeds themselves. They have to be coming from somewhere. Ash is hoping that some kind of data about their origin is stored in the device - and maybe even an option to send data back to that origin point. ]
So, the only data on the origin of the current recording doesn't actually... give much information. It just has flat labels -- kitchen, dining, sitting, bath 1, bath 2, hall. It doesn't have any actual technical link, almost as if there actually isn't a camera there at all.
Going for the origin point though, does pan out well! There is something there, no data but different points of connection at least. Maybe other cameras, or maybe something different. They all sit on the same network though. ]
[ wtf. This is one of the weirder things he's encountered.
Still. It's a start. This is what he wanted. It's unfortunate that it's so impenetrable, but still, he commits those areas to memory, and tries to be satisfied with what little information he could get.
All of this happens in a few seconds at most. Once they've passed, he lowers the camera again, shaking his head. ]
There's not much I can access from this unit. You can take your camera back.
[ he does give it back! look, he can hold up his end of a deal. sometimes. ]
Very little. As I said, I couldn't access anything of interest. Explaining anything beyond that to a flesh-and-blood human entity like yourself would be practically impossible.

You're an idiot. I'm what you would call an "artificial intelligence." I may be able to find a way to access whatever network they're using.

But yeah! There is definitely an input adapter on the bottom, right available for Ash to plug into if he so desires it. ]

I'm loathe to take your word for it, but I guess I have no way of confirming that. Sorry for being squishy.
