So where the hell am I? [ If anyone's listening, they may be able to hear a muffled voice. It sounds as though the phone it's coming through is on speaker and nestled into a pocket. ] Shit, just closed my eyes for a second...

[ There's a clatter, and the phone hits the ground. ] Oh hey, what's-- [ There's a yelp and the screen comes to life. Now there's a video of a pair of leather shoes. A pause, and then the screen fills up with a face. ] ...The hell is this?

I take it you're not familiar with modern technology.

*He'd normally hide his amusement better, but event.*

[avarice_alive]

I've never seen alchemy like this before.

[just_as_planned]

It's not alchemy, it's circuitry. And a valuable communication tool, you'll want to learn to use it.

[avarice_alive]

[ Greed pokes the screen. ] How does this work?

[just_as_planned]

Cameras, computers, satelites, the usual. I could explain it in detail, but I expect you'll be more interested in where you are.

[avarice_alive]

[ Greed stares dumbly at the screen. Com-what now? But that's not important. When the man mentions knowing about this place, Greed perks up. ] You know where I am?

[just_as_planned]

To an extent. Whatever world you're originally from, you're not there now. You're in an alternate universe, on an island called Prospero. It's part of a country called America, if that means anything to you. For the rest of the details, I suggest you read this.

[Hi, Greed. I'm gonna be your new best friend.]

[avarice_alive]

[ Oh hello there pretty lady. What nice boobs you have. ] Hey there, gorgeous/

[hellburner]

[Damn right.]

Francis.

[avarice_alive]

Francis, then. [ He grins with all his teeth. ] What's a lovely lady like you doing out here?

[hellburner]

I live around here. And from the look of it so do you, now.

[avarice_alive]

No, no, I have things to do. I can't be here.

[assaultedramen]

It's a phone.

[avarice_alive]

No it's not.

[assaultedramen]

Yes it is.

[avarice_alive]

Phones don't look like that. They're not weird and... lighty.

[assaultedramen]

Well you're talking to me with it aren't you?

[avarice_alive]

It's just some new kind of alchemy.

[socializing]

It's a phone.

[avarice_alive]

No it's not. [ This feels familiar... ]

[socializing]

It is.

[ Souji presses a button on the feed and it goes into audio only. ]

See?

... Oh... You wouldn't be able to see this.

[avarice_alive]

Hey--! Where'd you go?!

[socializing]

Oh. Sorry.

[ And then here's Souji again. ]

You can relay important information with this.

[avarice_alive]

[ Greed nods. ] Uh huh, uh huh. So what else can I do with this?
