[ It's a little quiet, not to mention cold out this night... It'd be bad to be out without a jacket or something proper to wear, especially with that wind, but suddenly there's a post on the network.

An ominous voice speaks through the audio feed. ]

Only when the light within dies out does true darkness reveal itself... Will you become lost in the labyrinth of your sorrow, or continue on towards the sun?

[ Whether or not you had time for that to sink in, the feed is suddenly filled with much rustling and sounds of muffling over the speakers. ]

Ahhh? What, what, is this thing working? What a curious telephone! Is this how it works, hmmm???

[Michelangelo hears the words spoken by the other and a chill runs down his spine. They have a very deep meaning to him. Even so, he decides against pursuing it. Guessing the one on the other end is an intellectual/philosopher type, Mike is surprised when he then hears the same voice, but in a completely detached manner, entirely different from before.]

It's a communicator, not a telephone. It lets you make video, audio or text feeds to others through a channel.

I'm guessing you're new.

[ He just goes right on talking despite the person answering... ]

And it doesn't even have a wire! There's nothing like this in England, really, how fascinating!

[Mike sighs, waiting for the other to pause before saying anything.]

[ Sloooowly stops, after a bit. ]



Hm? Did you say something?

[audio]

[asitneverwas.livejournal.com]

It's a communicator. It makes audio, video and text feeds that run out over a channel.

I'm guessing you're new.

[Top hat is bewildered to suddenly hear this, but poetic in a way.]

That's..one way to introduce yourself.

Uh yeah it's working. It's called a communicator and my name is Sabo by the way.

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

[ Oh he hears a child's voice. ]

Hello, Sabo. I am Lau.

[video]<-- Gah, forgot to do this

[set-out-first.livejournal.com]

[Grins to hear a pleasant response]

You must be new here. Glad to know you aren't having trouble using the communicator already.

[ Though he's holding it upside-down and is covering a part of the speakers. ]

It's much like a phone, how intriguing-- [ He sees your picture on it... and quickly rights it. ] How fascinating, I can see you clearly.

[This was one of the now-rare times that China emerged from his apartment. He's some distance away from Lau, just strolling along.]

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

[ Noticing the person walking by, Lau placed his hands within his sleeves and began to approach them. ]

Nihao.

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

[The language catches his attention. He even stops and turns his head to acknowledge the other.]

Nihao.

You are from China, no?

[action] | Mandarin

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

[ Ah, that familiar tongue. How long had it been since he found another Chinese man? Lau nodded his head, giving a polite bow. ]

Mm, Shanghai. I am Lau, and you are?

[playwitchu]

[Okay, she didn't understand what that meant and what would he know anything about any of that stuff anyways.]

..... What's a telephone? You can do stuff with this.

[Vague answers are forever vague.]

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

A telephone is a form of communication where you can talk to people without having to be with them physically. In my opinion, it's rather boring... I would much rather visit my friends in person, but sometimes I am just too busy...

Who am I speaking to?

[playwitchu]

Ah, so they are like this comms? ... Plus, you can see their face in person too!

... Heather...sir...

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

What a lovely name~ A pleasure to speak with you, Heather. My name is Lau.

[ He manages to get it to video, though his feed is upside-down. ]

What a beautiful woman~

[meilihua.livejournal.com]

Um-! [Ignoring that for now!] T-try turning it the other way...?

[Video]

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

[ oh he flips it around. ]

Ah, there we are. Now I can see your lovely face all the more clearly. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Lau, President of the Trading Branch known as Kun-Lun.

[totallygay]

Nice introduction!

[He is all too amused with those chilling words.]

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you.

[ Smile smile. ]

[totallygay]

[Tatsumi grins and gives a weak salute]

Ya!

Welcome to Fortuna.

Lots to see!

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

[ Lau bows his head politely. ]

Mm, although it looks quite bleak here.
