[ first → video ]
[ Hello, have your new 010 » 111 pop up on the network. The video turns on to show someone obviously in their room. He's sitting on the bed and he has the comm resting in his hands on his lap, it's facing him -- even if it's a little off center. His fingers run over the buttons on the device and he clears his throat, ready to speak at the indication that the video is recording.
And yet, the video is upside down. ]
Just a friendly reminder to whoever is in charge that, if you are in fact going to abduct someone from their work and home into outer space -- you might want to reconsider picking a blind man. For one, stars? Completely wasted on me.
[ A slight quirk of his lips up at that. ]
And to... any friendly listeners out there, a brief rundown of this place from someone who isn't a native would be exceptional. I'm sure there's a welcome sign around here but, well, [ He tilts his head just a bit and shrugs lightly. ]
I think that covers it. Nice to meet you, I'm sure you're all very pretty.
[ And then he grins and hangs up. ]

[Oh, it will be interesting. In the "oh you are... something" way.]

[ :'D ]
And I've gathered about the creepiness. There's a lot that sounds can tell you, sometimes way more than sight.
no subject
[That perks him up. CURIOSITY, GO.] Really? Can you hear all the little creaks or is it just the dead silence that gets you?
no subject
[ He snorts at the question though. ] More so the little creaks. For instance, I could tell it wasn't really a building because of the sort of ... airy sound of the walls? I'm not entirely sure how to explain it, buildings just sound more solid.

And not like they're floating through the void of space on a three billion hour tour?

[ VAGUELY REMEMBERS HIS COLLEGE DAYS. Probably set a couch or two on fire, honestly. ]
Exactly. There's a distinct sound to that, you know. Want to know what it sounds like?

I'm all ears. [LAME JOKES ARE THE BEST.]
no subject
[ Yes, very anticlimactic BUT THAT WAS THE POINT. Also your joke was so lame, let me teach you how to make proper blind jokes, Topher. ]
no subject
[TEACH HIM, OH BLIND MENTOR.]
no subject
That sounds like a very healthy and successful relationship. Name's Auggie Anderson, nice to meet you, Topher.
no subject
Yes. He... did.]
It comes with the territory of being in a really specific medical field that doesn't get a lot of action on a ship lost in space. [BEAMING. Can't see it, but it's there in his voice.] Likewise, dude.
no subject
[ You seem so happy, he really likes it. ]

And the minute you don't have one is the minute that someone needs brain surgery. Although, there are way more people on this ship with neural implants than you'd think.
no subject
I wonder if I should be slightly worried about that.

It is a relief to hear the standard did-you-do-anything-to-our-brains fear has passed and been put to rest before I got here.
