@captain.eide; video
[The video feed pops onto the network like a fever dream, swaying back and forth, upside down and sideways, with occasional flashes of the walls of a private hospital room, the humming light of a force shield barrier over the door, and a TV in the corner showing a gameshow, a flash of a nurse wearing a breathing mask over her face.
Then, upside down, a face with wide violet eyes and red hair peers into the camera from far, far too close. Just for a moment, before the video feed starts moving jerkily up and down as Sigrun shakes it violently.]
How is this stupid little thing supposed to keep me occupied?!
[It's halfway between plaintive and annoyed, and the nurse can be heard in the background, protesting that she's using it wrong, and Sigrun's loud argument that she 'ISN'T STUPID!' and 'KNOWS WORDS!' before the video cuts out.
...and then cuts back in a few moments later.]
Like this?
[Now it's right side up and Sigrun is staring squarely into the camera, wearing a simple grey scrub top and with her mouth pursed up crookedly, and a skeptical expression on her face.]
Helloooo? I was told there were people to talk to in this thing.

[ Almost everything out of ordinary he'd seen in media, he's quite an Expert (he's not). ]
You must be a pro at surviving, I bet!
no subject
[This is a very interesting conversation, she's learning so much. And it's exactly the kind of useless but fun thing she enjoys learning. As opposed to, like, reading books and math and stuff.]
You bet I am! I wasn't a Captain in the Troll Hunter army in Dalsnes for nothing!

Movies are, uhhh... fake depictions of various stuff! Like a drawing, but with real people acting it out! Imagine your world but with actors and special effects instead of the real deal!
[ He's trying his best... ]
Trolls? You have trolls over there?
[ No internet trolls for sure, but he sure watched that bad Trolls movie at some point. ]
no subject
Sounds cool. I'll have to try one of these movies. You watch them, right?
[That much, she gathered. But when he talks about trolls, she leans in a little, both her brows raising.]
Of course. Does your world have trolls?
no subject
[ If that didn't imply he'd take her on a... date... he would get out of his way to suggest the idea more.
He leans back as she leans forward, blinking owlishly. ]
Nah, don't think so? There are weird things in my world, but trolls may not be one of them!
