[It's that fellow with the glowing red eyes again. And this time, he looks... tentatively happy? Quite the reverse of some of the general sentiments being posted in the most recent of days.]

Greetings. Pray forgive my neglect of checking these devices as of late. I ought to have checked more frequently... but, I confess, I became so absorbed in assisting with the matter of housing that I did little else this past moon.

On that subject, I am pleased to say that a number of small houses have been completed. Those we brought back from the desert worked hard on them, so I am sure they shall be pleased to see them put to use.

Ah... on another subject, I have yet to check over much of what I have missed, but did anyone else have an unrelated transmission involving mysteriously-appearing tattoos come up when they activated their charm?

Tattoos? [Okay, that's...kind of alarming. A bit.] No, I haven't seen anything like that. But it sounds familiar. What'd the transmission say?

[beshackled]

The first to speak asked where the mark on their body was from. I could not see the mark from the angle of the recording, but it looked as though they made to show the others. The second to speak seemed amused, and asked if they had been tattooed in their sleep.

...The first did not share in their amusement.

The third person spoke up, inquiring if it was a dick.

I suppose they were saying so in jest... though I know not what a dick is.

[Erichthonios isn't exactly a connoisseur of modern slang.]

At the last, the fourth person joined the conversation, saying they also had such a mark, and that it had not been there when they got up in the morning.

[... ... ... Okay. Alright, setting aside the dick thing --sorry man, he's definitely just gonna leave that to someone else-- the rest of it? Sounds pretty familiar.]

That happened a few months ago, but I'm not sure how you'd be getting transmissions of it now. Was it on the charm or the other thing? The tablet.

The charms. I have yet to use the tablets you speak of, though I have seen others operating them.

[Large as they are, they seem somewhat inconvenient. And their fragile construction does not improve his perception of them by much… though he won’t object or look down upon others for carrying what they are comfortable with.]

How do they function? I did not notice any projections appearing from them as with the charms.

[Noel has to think about that for a minute. He's not sure he totally understands what's happening, but...it doesn't seem particularly good, does it.]

A late message on the charms about something that happened months ago. Did you recognize any of them?

[As for the tablets, he has less of an answer on them. Not none, but...he's not exactly great with technology.]

From what I understand? The tablets are more like a computer. The images play inside, instead of projecting like the charms.

[Fortunately, despite being unfamiliar with such technology, the description is enough for him to develop a close enough picture of it in his mind.]

I see... I admit, I am far more accustomed to projections.

As for your question, I am sorry to say that I do not recognize the people. Their location appeared to be arid in nature, much like the place the fairies brought us to, but I cannot tell you much else.

[oracledriven]

That's fair. I'm no better with projections than videos, so it works out the same for me.

[A shrug. ... Wait--]

Hold on, you're saying it looked like the desert? From what I hear, it sounds like whatever happened with the markings out there happened a long time ago. Weird that you're just seeing that now.

[beshackled]

...Mayhap it could have something to do with the devices we brought back from the desert? 'Tis possible such recordings may have been initially stored on them, then transmitted to ours somehow...
