Technology is Fun - 001 [Audio]

Good day, my name is Jeeves. I am given to understand this device has some extraordinary broadcasting ability akin to a radio or television, but with multi-way communicative properties. I have been here only a short time and require some assistance, for which I will gladly work in trade.

I have created one of the creatures known as a spirit. I have been led to believe that the animal serves some useful function as protection in this realm against nightmares of a similar build, but alternate coloration. The Komory Bat now in my possession defies all training and disciplinary methods with which I am familiar for service animals. I would deeply appreciate some instruction on their care and control. It has taken to fluttering around me in a highly distracting way. Thank you.

I have also been informed this device has some archival function. If it may be accessed readily, I should like to know how.

In the least, let it get used to settlingon your shoulder. You get used to the weight of it, and have both hands free in the event you need them.

[ There's a faint 'hmf'. ]

I thought much like you, until I was aboard. It is a ship that literally sails the stars. At least, from what I've understood of the explanations given by the agents who say it's from their world. Their world has technology well beyond even these communicators, far more advanced than mine.

[Jeeves does not relish the thought of having a large, garishly-colored creature constantly in his peripheral vision, but he nods his head in assent. Perhaps if he can paint the animal soon, it will not be so painful. Princess Luna's bat is not entirely repellant.

At the mention of what the spaceship is, the valet's eyes widen slightly.]

Doubtlessly a most wondrous craft, madam. I can hardly imagine... to be amongst those things that 'govern our conditions' must be a truly extraordinary experience. Are the Nightmares there the similar in type and power to those found in Traverse Town?

[ The dark blue of the owl that occasionally peers behind Lin was likely much more suited to Jeeves' tastes.

Lin smiled very slightly at his surprise, before nodding. ]

There are stronger nightmares there, but as with all worlds, there always seems to be at least one location they do not stray. The bridge is the first place you arrive, and safe enough to take in the view.

[Dark blue is certainly preferable to bright pink, though it is still not a realistic color. This is far less obtrusive to the senses, though. He recalculates his plans for world visitations to include the Mother of Invention.]

Is arrival in all worlds to a safe place, madam? The bridge of this vessel, the room whence I woke?

So far.

[ There's a slight grimace. ]

Nightmares can appear in the First District, but in the smallest numbers. The moogles will usually chase off any that harass a new arrival. The areas closest to portals in the other worlds tend to be most lacking in danger. At least, that appears to be the most consistant pattern so far.

[And a curious pattern, at that. Not that Jeeves is going to complain about finding himself in relative safety in a place.]

I shall bear that in mind for any exploration. I understand Ponyville is the preferred destination at the moment given the search for the Elements of Harmony. Are the enemies in that world of a similarly advanced level compared to those in Traverse Town?

I will train with my spirit, of course, but I do not wish to exhaust it prematurely in a battle it is not prepared for.

A wise precaution. So far, the strongest nightmares lurk in the forest just beyond the main village itself. I'd recommend putting in time here, or in the company of others, so that you can get used to their..quirks.

[ Nightmares and Dream Eaters both. ]

One member of our group, Sora, posted a document with details on what sort of dream eaters may appear - not all have been encountered yet, but it helps to be forewarned.

Ms. Namine was kind enough to direct me to it, madam. I shall make every effort to memorize its contents. Forewarned is forearmed, as I believe the colloquial expression is said.

May I inquire further as what you mean by 'quirks,' though? Are the battle tactics used outside the ordinary? [He pauses.] I beg your pardon, please allow me to rephrase. I suspect that word has an extraordinary number of meanings in this place. Are you referring to the different attacking methods of the spirit dream eaters or the dreamers and their own combat capabilities in and of themselves?

Indeed. That's a term used on my world as well.

[ She definitely appreciates Jeeves' train of practical thought, even if he is rather more verbose than most of the resident dreamers. ]

No pardon necessary. I was primarily referring to your companion's abilities. According to the document provided by Sora, their personality can affect their method of attack, though I've yet to see much variation in mine as yet.

[ Mostly because she isn't very touchy-feely, but that's okay, she and her spirits get along just fine. ]

However, once you both get used to working with one another, you'll find your spirit is capable of adapting to assist you more effectively.

[Jeeves nods.]

I look forward to that day with the greatest anticipation, madam. Thank you for your advice. It is something of a relief to know that there is the possibility for the animal to experience a change in temperaments. [He glances down at the Komory Bat as he says this.]

I do not wish to spend any more of your valuable time, though. I hope I will meet you elsewhere about the realms, Chief Beifong.

[There's a respectful nod.]

I've no doubt we'll meet in person soon enough. While the worlds are spacious in their own way, there's only so many places any of us can go. I can be reached on the communicator regardless.

I shall bear that in mind, madam.

[He returns the gesture of respect before ending the communication. And now to attend to his irritating bat.]
