a. action
[Beverly walks down this same street almost every day, on her way to and from work. From that coffeeshop on the corner to the weird little knick knack shop full of bits and bobs from across the multiverse, the sights have become very familiar to her. Which is maybe why this particular door showed up on this particular street. Or maybe it's all a coincidence. It's hard to say sometimes, in the Quarantine.
The door in question would not be a particularly remarkable one save for a unique symbol etched in the center of it. Even so, she easily might have missed it - hell, maybe she already has before today. But now that she's seen it, there's absolutely no chance she won't be investigating. The door opens easily and she lets out a surprised gasp when she sees what's inside.]
Oh!

Good evening everyone! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Beverly Crusher - and I found something a bit... unexpected today. [She grins.] A good sort of unexpected, though. Something from my home world that I'd like to share with you all.
[Here she carefully balances her phone against the wall so that it more or less shows both her and the room she's in. It's not readily apparent what sort of room it is as there is nothing in it and no windows or doors, only black walls, floors, and ceiling criss-crossed with glowing yellow grid-lines.]
Now, I know it doesn't look like much but! [She dances over to the middle of the room. She's really excited you guys!!!] Computer! Play File Dixon Hill, The Big Goodbye.
[Immediately, the room around her changes into a street scene from 1930s San Francisco. A figure wearing a fedora bumps into her. "Sorry, ma'am!" he says as he tips her hat and continues on his way, though not without first giving her an odd look - she is after all dressed in odd clothing for the era.]
It's a holodeck! Or well... I suppose since we're not on a ship it ought to be called a holosuite instead, but in any case, it's a holographic projection system that creates a virtual reality. There are only a few scenarios loaded onto the computer right now, but I plan on making more - with ideas and suggestions from you! I want this to be a collaborative creative project that we can all have fun with! There'll be a link below the video for more information and feel free to contact me with any questions you have!
[She gives a little cheerful wave goodbye before reaching down to turn off the video stream.]
ooc: And here is the info page for all holodeck related activities!

B! Video @the.boneless
[Ivar's come to understand technology a little bit better in the time he's been here, but some things still go right over his head. However, he understands enough that he's already getting a specific idea in mind.]
video!

[He's been feeling a little homesick as of late and being able to see his hometown would be wonderful.]

[He'd lived in Kattegat his entire life and had rarely gone anywhere else. It wasn't like anyone ever wanted to take the crippled teen on a raid. He looks a bit distant as he continues.]
It's strange. All I ever wanted to do was leave Kattegat, but after so many months away, I really miss it.

[Riverview was a lot different than anything Ivar had known up to that point. While he'd adjusted after so many months, it still wasn't the same as the familiarity he'd had for his entire life.]

[Travel between Norway and England would be instantaneous in her time, of course, with teleporters, but the world used to be a lot larger.]
no subject
[Viking longships could travel a lot faster than most people thought. Like everything else in the Vikings' world, they were built to be hardy.]
no subject
[At the least, going home is not an impossibility.]
Perhaps we can make one of your ships as well. I'd love to see it!

[Computers are kind of an abstract concept for Ivar. He knows they're technology and that they are used far in the future, but he's not entirely sure what they do.]

[Really, it's why all their stories were so colorful. They had to do something besides drink and have sex when the snows were six feet high.]
