Corperate Takeover 1x1

"I didn't steal anything! I came up, I paid, now I'm leving, now would yopu just-" Owens annoyed speech was inturrupted when the annoyed store owner shoved him hard out the door.
It wouldn't have bothered him, except he dropped the walkman. It skidded out into plain view. The shopkeeper didn't notice, just going back inside.

[Raven]

Ryan did notice, and he was quite sure he'd never seen anything like it, even in the adds for new technology. He picked it up immediately. "What's this?" he asked as he moved to hand it to Owen.

[Gifted]

"It's nothing," He said, taking it back quickly and wrapping the long cord around it again so the thing didn't trail everywhere.

[Raven]

"Its obviously something," ryan said. "What is it?"

[Gifted]

"Just, a thing, okay?!? My stepfather gave it to me," he invented wildly.

[Raven]

"Whats it do?" Ryan asked

[Gifted]

"Why do you care?" He snapped. He couldn't show it to anyone, no matter what government they turned it in to he'd be screwed. He wasn't going to be caught with it before he even found out what it did!

[Raven]

"Because i dont know what it is. And anyway, i think it makes you just as worried about attention as i am." He pulled his sleeve back to show his bare wrist.

[Gifted]

Owen gaped at Ryans bare wrist. "You don't have a-" he cut himself off, shaking his head in shock. "How have you stayed alive?"he said quietly, then finally answered the question. "I've got no idea what it does. I found it in a ruin though, so I'll bet it's ancient. Makes some sort of noise through the cord when you turn it on."

[Raven]

"You keep a low profile, and you can get along pretty well," Ryan said, nodding. "That's why my brothers are in there and not me... Maybe it's some kind of early announcement device," he suggested.

[Gifted]

"But then you wouldn't be able to hear anything but static now." Owen pointed out. "It's not like there's still announcements from that time being broadcast. I don't think there is a modern day equivalent to whatever this is...I've never heard anything like it before." He looked around nervously, worried someone would overhear. "I can show you, but not here."

[Raven]

Ryan nodded. "I'll make sure my siblings head home. They can manage with two hoverboards," he said. Then he went to talk to Lynn. He was back in moments, riding his Microsoft hoverboard.

Frederick had lost track of time and distance, but now he knew he'd flown too far. Sure, it wasn't technically a crime to be in McDonalds, but that didn't mean it was a good idea. It was a very bad idea, for two very specific reasons 1) people might try to do an Act of Patriotism on him, which was a problem due to his condition not to mention the fact that he never learned how to do well in those and 2) he was going to have to stay up all night writing that report. He wasn't quite sure which problem was worse, but he was quite sure both were going to get worse since he didn't actually know which direction was which at the moment. Where the Adidas was Google? How did one lose a whole country? He decided to land in the trees nearby. No sooner had he gotten off his board than he noticed a small blue spot in the dirt, some of which had been washed away by the rain. He hurried to dig it out, and in doing so discovered a plastic tarp, wrapped around a book. The title read "Webster's Pocket Dictionary". Frederick figured someone had to have had a picnic and left it here. He opened the front cover to find a name, and in doing so read the date. July 2000. Damn that was one old book... And it didn't have a name in it. He put it in his back pack, leaving the tarp where it was. No point letting the rain ruin the book, after all, and somebody needed to get a new dictionary anyway.

[Gifted]

Owen nodded. "I'm guessing you'll know a place we can't be found?"

Kyla happened to pass Fredrick while she was testing the hoverboard's maximum height capability. she looked down, hovering more than ten feet above him. She hadn't seen what it was he'd pulled from the sand, but whatever it was, she watched him hastily stuff it into his backpack. "It's not nice to take something that isn't yours." She called down to him.

[Raven]

"I can do you one better than that," Ryan commented with a grin. He led Owen to his secret library.

"It is mine," Frederick answered, looking up at her. "I lost it and now I've found it."

[Gifted]

Owen was shocked and awed by the thousands of books, in the one, huge room. he didn't think there were even this many books in the country! "this is amazing! how'd you find a place like this?"
