[Nora's holding her comm like she's grabbing someone's lapels, and the resulting angle is weird, but it doesn't hide that she's looking a bit. Intense at the moment.]

Where can I get a bunch of Lightning Dus--uh, electricity in a hurry? It's important.

Uh - just about everywhere? There’s sockets and light bulbs everywhere, not to mention humans. It’s not about where can you get it; it’s how much do you need and if it one of those weird sockets that are old and loose around the plug.

[valkywhee]

Oh, is that what all those cords are for? I was wondering why things were tied to the wall.

[walkingballpit]

[ He’s suddenly really glad she didn’t hone in on the humans as batteries concept. ]

You... thought we were tying things to the wall?

[valkywhee]

[Insofar as she thought about it, she kinda gets the concept, because everyone in RWBY has a finite mana pool Aura that makes their powers work.]

This place is weird, why wouldn't they tie things to the wall?

[So that's a "yes," then.]

[walkingballpit]

[ She has a point. ‘Why wouldn’t’ questions are so hard to answer on the Rig. ]

Because it’s not an RV?

[valkywhee]

What the heck is an RV?

[Robbie she didn't know what an electrical cord was, come on.]

[walkingballpit]

[ He doesn't do well with completely non-technical scenarios! Wait until he realizes she's never had a boombox. ]

Oh, it's a recreational vehicle. R. V. Basically, it's like a living quarters on wheels that you can drive around to go places.

[valkywhee]

Oh, wow. We coulda used one of those when we were hiking across Mistral.

[They literally walked across a continent because the main character is real dumb.]

[walkingballpit]

Glamping is definitely superior to camping. Do people hike outside of Central Park?

[valkywhee]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[This is not an entirely unheard of experience for Nora.]

[walkingballpit]

Ah, don't worry about it. None of it applies here anyway. It's not like we're going camping anytime soon.

[ He doesn't want to make her feel bad about it by continuing to try and fail at explaining. ]
