I have no idea what to do with this.

I think it’s a disc. We had these at the station? I can’t say I watched them much, but…
[ he spots what he’s looking for, and — a little too forcibly, like we would wince but these two are oldes and therefore have no fear of scratching discs — pushes it into the slot at the front. ]
It plays movies. Or… moving talking pictures? I don’t really understand the workings behind it, but whatever’s on the box is a clue to what’s on the disc.
[ they are doing their very best and i am proud of them ]
Maybe….
[ he pushes a down arrow. chapter select is now lit up on the menu ]
That’s not it either. So, if that moves the selection then— [ he presses up! play movie is now selected again; flowers bloom, bird chirp, and the world gives a collective sigh of relief.

Huh... I don't know what that is, either. Maybe it's part of something else?

[ he takes the disc out and bends it slightly -- looking at it from different angles like he's trying to discover the trick to it. ]
There's nothing on it, other than ... words on the front?
no subject
What does it say?
no subject
“Lord of the Rings”?
…
Oh. Oh, I wonder— hold on.
[ he’s looking around for something. ]
no subject
....... It's a ring?
[She's trying.]

[She watches him insert the disc like he's performing a magic trick. Exciting!!]
no subject
Like a book that moves.
[ the lord of the rings menu is up. ]
… I confess I’m not sure where to go from here.

It should start if you press "play"...
[So Estelle reaches to the TV screen and presses it. It doesn't work, because it is a TV screen.]
no subject
...
That doesn't seem right. I remember the station had this block with buttons on, that seemed to work...
no subject
[She looks around and... finds the remote!
... and brings it over to him so they can look at all the buttons together.]
Maybe this is it?
no subject
[ oh. ]
Yeah, kind of like that. Do any of them say "go" or something?
no subject
You should try pressing something. I'm afraid I'll break it...
no subject
[ he presses VOL. the very much copyrighted LotR OST blasting on the menu screen blasts with MORE OOMPH. ]
Ah.
[ he turns it down. ]

but the film still isn’t playing. ]

There's got to be a button that's, like... "go!" or "confirm!"
no subject
“Start”? Something that makes sense.
[ it’s probably a controller with a button that just has the sideways triangle on, for the ultimate shits and giggles. ]
no subject
[She presses something?
... and it happens to be the 'play' button! She's actually a little startled when the movie suddenly starts.]
no subject
polite applause. ]
Which one was that one? The little… triangle one?
no subject
[Will they be watching more of these? Who knows.]
no subject
on the screen, frodo and gandalf are probably chatting idek it’s been years since i watched LotR ]
…
I watched some of these things on the station, but how they work is still a mystery.

You did? Any good ones, that you can remember?
