video; un: archon
[ the video is clearly being shot from a phone is propped up on the coffee table. in it, Reno is sitting on the floor of his living room in an otherwise fairly bare-looking apartment, leaning back casually on both hands.
behind him, Thancred can be seen doing what appears to be a casual few reps of push-ups. or possibly a lot of push-ups. it's likely that Reno is aware of what Thancred is doing behind him, and Thancred is definitely aware that Reno is filming, but neither fact seems to bother either of them, and it doesn't seem like this somewhat unorthodox spectacle of physical prowess will be slowing down or stopping anytime soon. ]
Yo. [ a brief salute as a greeting. ] So we've been watchin' some monster movies lately and came up with a list of questions for those of ya who are from Earth or who might know the answers for some reason.
[ Reno lifts up one hand to tick through the questions from memory: ]
1. Where is Japan and what's the beef between Japan and America?
2A. Where's Russia and what's the beef between Russia and America? And 2B. What's a cold war?
3. What big war event happened in 1944 that would make somebody's pocketwatch stop keeping time?
4. How long is a klick?
How far. It was a measure of distance, I think.
[ — an interjection from Thancred that earns an amused eye-roll from Reno, clearly for the camera's benefit. when Reno speaks again, it's in a surprisingly accurate imitation of Thancred's accent: ]
Oh, excuse me, how far is a klick. Hey, and while we're at it, is "British" the place where they have accents like his?
[ Reno shakes his head, smirking; when he speaks again, it's back to his usual drawl. ]
...What was I saying? Oh, yeah — 5A. What's the story of the mouse and the lion? And 5B. In the story of the mouse and the lion, did the mouse and lion become friends or did the mouse kill the lion with the splinter?
6. Have any of you ever been to the moon?
[ there's a pause while he tries to remember if there's anything else. after a second, Reno turns halfway back to Thancred to ask, ] That was it, right?
It for you, mayhap. I'd still like to know what in the seven hells is a "DILF" —
[ but alas, that's one answer that Thancred is destined not to get, at least by present company, because the audio fills with the sound of Reno's laughter as a hand approaches the camera to switch off the feed. ]
[OOC: Responses may come from Thancred, Reno, or both! Threadjacking is definitely encouraged.]

...Okay, so what is your definition of "fake" if not "made by a person and not by nature"?
no subject
Why, doing so on false terms, of course! Otherwise these phones we are using would be "fake" as well, would they not?
no subject
I hate that that's a really good point.
[ because the phones aren't fake, they're real... but they were definitely not made by nature. well, at least most phones aren't, although who knows in this place. ]
no subject
That is not to say I'm unable to see your point of view. But the act of creation is quite common where and when I'm from, you see, so it seems perfectly natural. Similar to that device in the Science Discovery Center, you could say, though not done with machines.

[ every question Reno asks he's getting more scared of the answer lmao ]
no subject
[...Right. Not "of course" in the slightest. And he'd been doing so well with keeping common terms from his world out of his explanations, too.]/small>
That is to say, using magic and a healthy imagination--as well as some knowledge of the subject at hand--to bring creatures, plants, and objects into being.

[ Reno laughs at that, not unkindly. it's fun that there are worlds where that kind of thing is an of course and not something that can only be achieved by a super-ancient race of powerful beings. (ha, ha.) ]
So what, I could just invent whatever I want and create it and that's it?

[Rather impressive, all things considered]

[ Reno briefly turns on the forward-facing camera so Hyth can see that Thancred is, indeed, still doing push-ups on the living room floor. ]
If it were me I'da gotten bored like fifty reps ago.

Hey, Hythlodaeus says he commends your discipline.
