Video - 001 - Biting the Bullet

[shirtphobia]

[Cover your ears, Prospero, because it's about to get noisy in here.]

Finally this wretched thing decides to work. I have one or two things to say to you.

Firstly, very funny. I would prefer it if you returned me to Shadow Moses right this instant. Things to do, people to fight, giant robots to pilot. You know how it is. And you clearly have the technology if you brought me here this easily.

If you're behind this, Mantis, I hope you realize you're in big trouble once I get out of this. And if this is VR... then GET ME THE HELL OUT OF IT RIGHT NOW OR ELSE I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU ONCE I GET OUT!

...

If this thing isn't working after all, I am going to break it.

[And also feel very silly.]

Um... I don't think using the contact list will reach them. They only talk to us when they want to. All your contacts are just the other captives.

[shirtphobia]

...damn.

I should have known it wouldn't be that easy. Although I did expect them to at least wish to gloat.

Well, then. I'll just have to track them down.

[forgivethemtheirpain]

*Lucia frowns.* We're trying, but all we've been able to do is fight the Shadows they send at us and investigate the strange things that happen on the island.

[HE HATES THESE DAMNED THINGS. Buttons are too tiny and all that jazz.]

I'm not sure what an 8lew is, or that thing you did at the end. But aPOLOGIES I SUPPOSE. [WAIT WAIT WHAT DID HE- oh, it went back to normal after the next letter. Weird. Ah, he's getting the hang of it a little now.]

Know who's behind this?

[scorpiospider]

Ask my auspistice! He seems to know what's going on here.
Oh wait, you're human, aren't you. So of coooooooourse you wouldn't know something as simple as what an auspisitice is.

You're being loud, Mister. I think you broke my... Whatever this is.

[Video]

[shirtphobia]

I'm going to assume it's a mobile phone.

Don't tell me. You're supposed to fight these Shadows too?

[Child soldiers. This is familiar.]

[Video]

[orchidmoon]

You should really put on a shirt if you plan to fight those monsters.

[Also, you may or may not be scarring her eyes, buddy.] I don't have to fight them if I don't want to. I just have to hide in the hotel.

Hi...

Um, whoever you're yelling at probably can't hear you. Are you new? Here..

[ectoBiologist has sent you a file. http://theheirofbreath.dreamwidth.org/682.html ]

That might help.

[video]

[shirtphobia]

...

Firstly, yes. I am new. And thank you.

...is this for real?

[Time travel? That's... completely ridiculous.]

Re: [video]

[theheirofbreath]

You're welcome!

And yeah.... it's real. Sorry...

[enjoymyatelier]

Good god, man, could you be any louder?

[Video]

[shirtphobia]

If I tried, I suppose I could. I often find it works out for the best.

[Video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I'm sure that if they didn't already hear you, then you're simply out of luck.

[Video]

[trueempress]

I suppose you've already been informed that you're loud by now, and I should move on. None of those names are meaningful to me and are probably unrelated.

[Video]

[shirtphobia]

...so what was the point of responding to me at all, little girl? Simply to be snide?

[video]

[croibhristeoir]

...I do not think shouting will help.

[video]

[shirtphobia]

Nor do I. But it makes me feel better.

[crownedexorcist]

[A boy with white hair and a strange marking on his face appear on the screen.]

Whoever's responsible for bringing us here, I doubt they'll respond.

[Video]

[shirtphobia]

Yes, yes, it was worth a try.

[video] i am the latest

[devola]

Indoor voice, blondie. Please.

In unrelated matters, I kinda doubt a bug could've done anything close to making you wake up in a weirdo place.

[A mantis conspiracy of all things? seriously bro...?]

[video] Yes you are~

[shirtphobia]

Not a bug. Mantis. It's his name.

And bite your tongue. I will not be silenced.

[Video]

[soulsborderline]

Did you say giant robots?

[Because this is clearly the important part.]

[Video]

[shirtphobia]

Heh. Yes, in fact I did.

[Screw privacy, he had a goddamn giant robot.]
