Huh. Anarchist spy with Tesla-tech would be a cooler answer, I think.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!Holy shit.
I really, really hope some douchebag doesn't come along and "debunks" this any time soon.
"Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse." —Mycroft NextThat... is very weird! At first I thought, "Maybe she's holding earmuffs to her face; bundled up like that, she looks somewhat cold," but no, she is obviously talking, by herself, to her hand. That and the position of the knuckles isn't really earmuff-y.
EDIT: Thinking about it, whatever that person's talking into, if it's something that works, it isn't like anything we know. A modern mobile phone wouldn't be functional in the 20's, since, you know, no service cloud. A walkie-talkie could do it, but those weren't invented until the 40's and were enormous for a long time.

"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaHoly crap ^.^ That's weird. When were those little personal tape recorders invented, like reporters used?
Other than that, totally stumped. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to stroll through the background of film premiers miming the use of possible future technology...
"Alright, class, now above all else—remember the rules. Chaplin's movie premieres are obviously a favorite of film schools, so we may not be the only travelers there. But even so, you must remain hidden. I'm sure you've all heard about the supposed 'mobile device' footage, yes?"
*random grunts of assent from the class*
"I don't think it would be... but I'd better not find out that it was any of you. Alright? Alright. Now... Holocostumes on? Let's leap!"
Later...
*A sharp buzzing sound comes from the professor's pocket.*
"Oh, for crying out... Well, nobody's watching." *flips open* "Dr. Jacob Hardrige here. Yellow? I—oh, for crying out loud, Johnson, are you honestly lost already? The group's over this way! I—no, Johnson, I cannot give you directions; I have to hang up now! I can't afford to keep talking to you like this in public; anyone could be looking at m—" *notices camera*
"Oh, god dammit!"
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaWell, that's just a bit odd.
...They could probably make a Doctor Who episode out of that.

Cool video.
And I'm reminded of this one◊, though it is a shop.
At first I figured that s/he was just clutching the ear, but s/he's clearly talking.
Hrm... if it's a time traveler, then the possibilities I see are:
- We're supposed to notice. Maybe this inspires whoever invents time travel.
- This doesn't become well-enough known to compromise the secrecy of time travel's existence, so the future people don't bother fixing it.
- The time traveler is from a time before this video was made.
Or she was just insane.
DumboAnd Freezair, if anything, it's the Doctor's phone.

Ruining everything forever.Gelzo is the time-traveler.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!What?
Ruining everything forever.But if the theory that time travel involves parallel universes, then that means...
(dramatic pause)
...WE'RE THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE!
-wait
Seriously, though, why do people assume she's talking to the device? She could just be talking to herself. I do that all the time. Not in public, no, but it's the kind of thing a person might do. As for what she's holding, it looked to me like it might be an ice pack or something like that.
Holy shit.
I really, really hope some douchebag doesn't come along and "debunks" this any time soon. :(
DumboTold ya. Teslatech.
A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!So we've found a time traveler!
Now let's find us an alien and an esper!
The Kagami topic has now reached 201 posts! (Nov 5)Somebody's saying its fake. But in all seriousness. wouldn't a time paradox happen with our cellphones by now?
She's clearly holding her TARDIS. Maybe she has a companion in there to talk to?
If anything, this leads credence to the people who think the Doctor will eventually regenerate into a woman
herp derpOh, come on, they had cell phones in the 1920s!
All facetiousness aside, though, I don't even see an advice. It just looks like a shadow to me.
Current project: Cleaning up the Chrono Crusade examples one at a time. God help me.My favorite part about all this is how, apparently, only men and transvestites can travel through time.
It's the only explanation for that guy's fixation on that woman's "questionable" appearance.
Other than that lady's total man-hands?
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaThe better for punching dinosaurs and mammoths with!
... what the fucking hell?
