[WHACK. Hitting the computer activates the video function. Glaring at the screen is a tan-skinned man with pointed ears, a lovely gin-blossom nose, sunken eyes, and... green hair. And he's already changed out of that weird jumpsuit and into his normal clothes. The top of his orange collar is barely visible over his red cravat.

He narrows his eyes at the screen, then down at the keyboard]

Blasted... typewriter! What kind of contraption is this! Where's the paper?! Cursed LIARS, telling me I could communicate with people using this thing!

[and now he's shaking the computer. Or trying to]

HEY!! TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK, YOU INFERNAL MACHINE!! Put me back on my ship right this instant!

[Yeah, Link had already figured these things out pretty well - he may be dumb, but he's not stupid. They're different okay

... And sorry, but you're just going to get laughter on this end for a bit.]

Don't be mean to the machine! It didn't do anything!

video; 1/2

[chickenofthesea]

[oh hush you've been here longer! There's nothing like this on the Great Sea!]

Now it's laughing at me. Gr--

[chickenofthesea]

Wait! Kid! [SHAKING THE WEIRD TYPEWRITER MORE]

Are you stuck in there?! How do I get you out?!! What kind of stupid magic is this?

[cantstopme]

...

[Blink blink. This guy knows him? Did he forget about someone he's met?]

No, I'm not stuck, don't worry! This thing can be... kind of like a weird window into other parts of the tower! I think it's really neat.
People call it using "video".

[If it's not obvious though, he is really confused. He doesn't recognize this guy at all, what...]

Text then Video

[Pipit hasn't taught her to use the text function yet. Or at least, what a space bar is. He should do that.

Okay wait, video.... video... how does one make a video.. OH! Here we go!]

You ain't goin' back. Didn't you read the letter? Says our worlds were destroyed. Which is a lie, by the way 'cos otherwise my ancestor wouldn't be here.

[chickenofthesea]

i cant relax i have stuff to do!!!!!

[gosh Linebeck lay off that exclamation point]

I... skimmed it. [he threw it away] What's this now? You mean the sea is just gone? Impossible! I was just there!

[stop_calling_me_zelda]

[Arm cross and looking thoughtful. And irritated at the same time.] Yeah well, before I got here I was helpin' Link kill that jerk, Ganondorf. And apparently it is.

[great_king_of_evil]

Be silent, little man.

[ Have a Ganondorf starring at you. That's the one warning he gives to that weird man on the screen. His screaming are pathetic and annoying. And Ganondorf doesn't tolerate pathetic-ness. ]

[chickenofthesea]

[oh...

you're scary.......]

Uh.... ok. Are you the boss around here?

[cause you seem like a boss]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Chuckles. ]

What I am isn't the matter.

[ Final boss actually in another world. ]

Know that I will not tolerate another outburst of that kind on the network.

[ If anything the sadistic smile can give him an idea on how Ganondorf would punish him- Would he be to do it again. ]

[sageprincess]

[You, sir, look... disheveled. Have a regal looking lady appearing on screen.]

Unfortunately, it does not seem like we can reach our captors through these strange machines.

[And shaking them is also futile, so. Yeah.]

[video]

[chickenofthesea]

[oooh! How pretty! He straightens his coat and cravat, and even gives his hair a little attention]

Well hello, miss. Is that so? What a shame!

[video]

[sageprincess]

[... Blink. Blink. Well, he calmed down quickly.]

Ah, yes. These devices are mainly used to communicate with the others who have been captured, as is evident by this conversation.

And... hello to you as well, sir.

[He put emphasis on 'hello', so!]

[action] because I can (yea)

[ocariness]

[ Have an older Link with their left eye bandaged over. Like, legit hero status here, way too old to be your squirt. Voice is different too, so is the master sword and mirror shield and stuff but anyway--

They see Linebeck struggling and shake their head, moving to help him. ]

... It did not kidnap you, I am fairly sure it is merely a machine. They are called terminals, think of them like magic two way speaking devices, like mirrors connecting two parts of a place.

I... can help you, if you would like?

[ Considering you're not putting an arrow in it, hey, doing better than they did! ]

[action]

[chickenofthesea]

[back to the computer after talking to the kid, looking more and more like the old guy he is, trying to figure out this newfangled thingamabob... He only sees the green outfit out of the corner of his eye]

Kid, I-- ... huh.

[looking over... and looking up] Hey, you. Did you steal the kid's clothes?

[action]

[ocariness]

[ ... What? ]

... No, I made these on my own. Why do you ask?

[ Blinking. Do they know you, Linebeck? ]

[video] welp, have another pretty lady, linebeck

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[Because I can't help myself.
WHOA. Yeah that outburst made her jump - she'd just been inspecting the terminals for the first time, and sheltered forest girl isn't fond of the yelling; if it wasn't obvious with the raised shield. But... oh, that's a person.
...
There's a man in there. There is a man stuck in that box.

Don't mind the girl inspecting you up and down, Linebeck - or what she can see of you, anyway.]

... How did you get in there? You don't quite look like you fit.

[video] JACKPOT

[chickenofthesea]

[oh! ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL BLOND! This is heaven....?]

Oh, ah... hello there, beautiful. I'm not stuck in the box. This is some sort of communication device. No need to be defensive!

[video]

[sevenyearbeautysleep]

[Not at all.]

Ah - I see... I suppose that does make sense.

How odd... I've never seen such a thing.
And my apologies for doing that - I'm not used to hearing... shouting, like that.

[... And she's not going to comment on being called beautiful, either. If that's what he wants to think...]

[beknightedheroine]

should we just

run a computers 101 class

i think this is enough piled up evidence now that we need one (´∀`)

[chickenofthesea]

yes that would be good i think. whats that thing. at the end.

[Voice]

[darkestsatisfaction]

[Just. The creepiest laugh ever.]

Wouldn't you like to know~?

[Voice]

[chickenofthesea]

[YEAH that is pretty creepy um... wtf...]

... Yes, I believe that is what I said.

[keybearer]

[...snort. Okay, yeah, he can't help but laugh. This guy must not be used to technology at all.]

Let me guess. You don't have computers in your world.

video

[chickenofthesea]

Nope. That's this box-typewriter thing, right? Yeah. No. We haven't got these.
