I don't want to watch the video. What question does he ask?
Something about a character from a book was supposed to be in the hammer council or some shit. But they have someone else, with a similar name, in the council instead and this character that is supposed to be there is no where to be found.
The guys on the panel were like "Did he die in Day of the Dragon" (another book) and the red shirt kid was like, "No he survived."
Panel said they'll look into fixing the mistake (which it sounds like it could've been an honest mistake) and then everyone cheered him on.
Something in this (brief) scene just doesn't ring right.
A few hours before I normally left for our hangout, the phone rang.
"Joanna?"
"Hi, Max. What's up?"
"Nina's not feeling well, so she won't be coming tonight."
"Oh, that's a pity," I frowned. "What does she have?"
"Stomach bug, I think. Fever, vomiting, fatigue, standard stuff." He shrugged - not from a lack of compassion for his sister's discomfort, but as if to say 'unpleasant, but nothing serious'.
"I hope she gets better soon. Is that the only reason you called?" I asked, half-smiling.
"Well, I thought I might, you know, take you there, especially since you're on my way anyway," he suggested cautiously, shifting his weight from one leg to the other, then back again.
"I'm not exactly on your way, Max." I laughed slightly. "But yes, I'd like that. It seems appropriate for a guy to take his girlfriend to this sort of thing, anyway."
"So I'm officially your boyfriend, hm?" He grinned, plainly pleased at my pronouncement.
"After three very nice dates, yes, I think so." I winked flirtatiously. "See you in a couple of hours, Max."
The first part of the conversation seems to really serve no purpose. I'd rather hear more about their thoughts of their relationship than their friend's symptoms.
I'm trading jabs between my little sister on halloween costumes, and she told me she was going as an innocent crown. She dressed up as a slutty firewoman and a slutty bumblebee for previous halloween at her sorority, so I wanted to play at that angle.

I remember watching it during the stream, it was awkward but I didn't expect it to attract attention

So why did it have to be PG rated?
Little sister sounds old enough to handle some vaginal fisting taupe.

Why are you talking to your sister about the slutty costumes she wears for Halloween...

I could handle an intensely specific question but I couldn't handle his voice. It was soft, like clay. Arthas would not suffer its sound.

Is she winking at him through the telephone?
Also, insert standard complaint about boring dialogue with nothing actually happening.

Totes. If someone started talking to me and sounded like that I would ask them to stop talking. I guess the Bliz guys can't really do that though. It's a wonder they do those panels at all, given that the sort of people who go to those things to ask questions are basically all that guy.

Well, normally Max would get a ride with Nina, since she's his sister, and Joanna would drive herself. I figure that Joanna would be concerned that her friend is sick, and want to know more. So that was my thinking there.

Ugh, just got home from a party and there's apparently some massive frat party going on right near my place and there's nowhere to park so I had to park like, 2 streets down. If it weren't for the epic amounts of slutty halloween costume ass I saw I'd be livid. Also, they are apparently giving cover charges to charity... so I'll tolerate the obnoxious DJ that I can hear all the way in my room.

As much as I'd love to stumble over there my costume is incomplete/mostly non-existent at this point. I think I might pop out for a cigarette and see if I can socialize with anybody in the immediate vicinity.

Even if you don't spend time on exposition explaining a piece of technology you need to give hints about its description or how it works so that the reader can learn about it as they read.
Are there ghosts or any otherwise paranormal elements in this part.
Not as far as I know.
That scene is anything but immersive. Are you including extensive footnotes at the bottom of each page so the reader has some clue as to what's going on?
True, but this is not the first phone conversation in the section. I know I mention the screen in a later one, I'll have to remember to do so earlier as well.

Well I certainly wouldn't lance it myself, but having it lanced = immediate pain relief. It also healed in a day afterwards.
In a slutty firefighter costume.

You're a pussy, I made it at least 10 seconds.
Oh God that response

We now have an explanation as to why he made the second video.
How ironic considering Sarksus didn't even watch it.

never ask me to look at 2 girls 1 cup
but i can brave the most psychologically hideous vids on the net
i have practice

It's not a telephone, it's a video phone. Remember that Joanna's section is set in 2050ish.

Shouldn't that be apparent from the scene then? It isn't.
Go get your freak on.
I'm assuming that earlier in the book the video phone technology will be established.
no one ever talks about it or even cares

Then I froze.
He said, "Oh cool. I usually dont look at those boards."
He seems okay.

Which irritates me.
This shit has been like this since January. WTF ear stop it!
Kinda. I'm explicitly not explaining future technology, because doing so breaks immersion. People don't say "Hey, let's go watch our 25" color TV."
Not as far as I know.
you never know when they might show up
