Maybe your signal crossed with another from the same canon, a different one or perhaps it is picking up a device from a totally different game. The choice is yours!

[There's the sound of someone quietly humming a cute half-a-refrain -- as with a fragment of song stuck in their head -- over and over with some short pauses in between. The screen is looking up from an extreme worm's eye view on a blonde woman leaning up and over a table, out of view, scratching on something.]

[braintease]

[The voice is tinny and crackling, as if heard through a radio with a bent antenna. If she looks down she'll see a confused, mildly irate man with a widow's peek and his face extremely close to the screen.]

You! Say something! [Does it actually work? Both ways? Please let it work.]

Oh lawd! :D

[dohremi]

"Oh!" Fa's face appears from high up, quickly resolves to a proper angle. "Um, hello?" Who is this irate looking man and how did he get on her phone?!

Re: Oh lawd! :D

Science. "Wonderful!" The man breaks into manic laughter at his own genius. " Ny device works!"

Wait. "But how do you have one?" The laugh is cut off as if by a knife.

[dohremi]

Fa stares at his face for a moment, put off by the all too sudden laugh, and the cutting off thereof. Thinking that this might be a crank call, she says, "I acquired mine from a crying boy and never wound up giving it back, of course. Isn't that how anyone gets anything?"

[braintease]

"If one's being lazy about it?" He steals from crying adults. The image shifts as the man sits back, holding the device in one hand. "So, who are you, fellow thief?"

[dohremi]

"Oh, I wasn't being serious -- I mean, not entirely: I didn't steal it so much as his and mine got mixed up and I wasn't able to contact this boy about a swap so..." She shrugs, then settles back, herself. This is extremely random, but she's never felt obliged by anyone and she isn't going to start, now. "I'm the future," she teases, "or maybe it's just that people keep telling me that. Who are you?"

No one would have been more surprised to learn that Draco Malfoy had a smartphone than himself five years ago. But times had changed, wars had been lost, and Draco's reputation within the wizarding community was still not all it should have been. And so he'd been forced to create business relationships outside of the wizarding community. It was not something he told his friends nor was it something he brought up at family functions, though the latter at least knew.

So it was with more of a passing familiarity that he answered the video call that came in, though he didn't bother looking at the phone to see who it was.

"Malfoy."

[A woman speaks in Chinese over a certain radio frequency, about how she has "it" and is moving "it" to "that place" for "the thing".]

[Whether you understand her or not, feel free to respond.]

[fromrussiawith_love]

[Raikov picks up a frequency on his portable radio device and places it to his ear. He moves out of sight within the corridors of Groznyj Grad to pick up the signal better. Too much noise from footsteps.]

Hello? Who is this?

Gaius | Tales of Xillia | OTA

[destinatus]

[actually, he pressed the wrong button. A lot of the wrong buttons. And probably dropped it one too many times. Or it went flying against the wall in the middle of a fight--either way, he has terrible luck with technology.

That's how you end up with a video of the king of a very large country, looking vaguely perplexed, prodding at the device with a finger in hopes it'll do something.

[syntheticsoul]

[During their last case Dorian received a shock. The abrupt surge of electricity scrambled his frequency, causing it to jump to the closest available source — which just happened to be John's phone. Needless to say, until Rudy figures out how to untangle and reroute the frequencies, John gets the distinctly unique experience of the DRN humming from where he shoved his phone into one of his pockets while he pointedly stares at him.]

[shoulderholsters]

[ If the tune of that humming turns out to be YMCA, he's going to shock Dorian himself. The suffering look he turns on his partner hints that either John is tired of the noise or was recently informed life is a huge cosmic joke.

But he always knew the latter, so. ]

As much as I'm grateful for the operatic surround-sound you've got going on right now, can you not?

[syntheticsoul]

[It's totally YMCA. Dorian's voice, when it comes, is still from John's pocket.]

If you were really grateful you wouldn't have put your phone in your pocket to muffle me.

[otakon_geek]

[Otacon jumped, as his cell phone just activated all by itself. It practically jumped from the desk next to his computer. Vibrating and making odd beeping noises. It wasn't a call he was receiving, just a strange garbled noise coming from it. Then a dial tone sounded, as if he were dialling to someone else's phone. How odd. He put the phone to his ear and swallowed.]

Uh, hello?

SOME BOYS TAKE A BEAUTIFUL GIRL AND HIDE HER AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE WOOORRR---LLLLLLD

I WANNA BE THE ONE WHO WALKS IN THE SUN, OH GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FU-UUUNNN

OH GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE-

[Someone's having a karaoke session over her end and whoops, she might have maybe accidentally butt-dialled]

[otakon_geek]

What the?- [Otacon held the phone away from his ear, as he heard loud music on the other end of the phone. He had no idea who this was, since the frequency was jammed. He tentatively put the phone back near his ear and raised his voice to compete with the music.

Cyndi Lauper? No, it sounded different slightly.]

Hello? Who is this? Can you hear me?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Nope, can't hear you Otacon. Ugh, she's bored of this song now, what else can she listen to? Oh! This one's a good one!]

JEALOUSY, DIRTY SAINTS INTO THE SEA...

UH SOME THING SOMETHING DEE-DEE-DEE

...

'CAUSE I'M MR. BRIGHT SIIIIIIDDDDDDDE!

[otakon_geek]

HELLO?! CAN ANYONE HEAR THIS?! [Otacon yelled down the phone and hoped someone would pick up. He was starting to get annoyed.

The Mk.II next to him looked up with a vacant expression but then began to push it's wire mechanism into the phone. The person on the other end would hear a very loud high pitched squealing noise.]

The Riddler | Batman '66

[braintease]

[Riddler's created another amazing sort of invention, a wireless phone the size of a cigarette packet that not only makes phone calls, but has a tiny open circuit video camera and screen inside it as well. It runs on Science. The only real problem is that no one else has one, so he's not been able to call anyone on it or have anyone contact him.

Until now.]
