It's the only way to be sure [Open]

So many people had recommended the Media Library to Soren that it ended up being one of the first locations on-ship that he paid a visit to. As promised, there was plenty of information to be found in convenient, electronic format.

Convenient for everyone who wasn't essentially from a medieval time period and thus had no framework for understanding computers, let along databases.

Losing patience, Soren began mashing the controls on some kind of instrument panel, and was rewarded with a moving picture featuring humans being menaced by floating tin plates, a woman singing about less-than-optimal romantic encounters, and some sort of storybook featuring a blue-skinned 'space explorer' and his evil nemesis (both with rather improbable hair).

"Infernal machine," he hissed, hitting the table with one small, bony magefist. "I'll show you a bad romance."

As far as he was concerned, the future should be destroyed. With fire.

"Hm," Pram responded as she floated over to the device. So this kid was from a fantasy-like world where they didn't have guns. Or anything machine-like. Or a device that would let the user skip all the way to the boss's room.

"It's only a matter of pressing the right combination of buttons." She replied as she looked down at the commands. "There's always a 'tutorial,' or a 'help' option for almost everything."

She wasn't going to start pressing on the buttons for the other, though. She wasn't that nice.

"A help option?" Soren looked dubiously down at the panel. "Well, in any case, it seems to have stopped."

Since it wasn't blaring music any more, he was perfectly content just leaving the open files there for someone else to deal with.

Stupid piece of junk.

Oh, he wasn't going to go back to messing around with the device anymore? No fun. Pram gave a small sigh; not much poking could be done when she barely knew the other. She did agree with the young man, about knowing how things worked and so forth, though. Without information, she wouldn't be able to move around like she wanted.

She glanced over at the device before inputting the command to replay the song. It was probably on purpose...

"Woops! Teehee."

That was Soren's cue to duck out as fast as possible. Pram had set it off again! This time it wasn't his fault! Blame it on her!

"Well, if you'll excuse me," Soren said, gathering up his books, "I do believe I should be going."

Pram watched the other pick up his things rather hastily.

"Oh really? What a shame." She said with a small frown. "And I was just getting comfortable talking to you, too."

She wasn't going to stop the other, though. She turned to the device and started pressing a few commands to try out what sort of information she could find while she let the obnoxious music blast away.
