[ Voice ; Action ]

[lostblacksouls]

[ 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???

Umm...that depends on...when you're from... [Because his speech was the tiniest bit old fashioned]

[Video] (Chinese) ahaha whoops i accidentally my history~

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

When? [ This was delightful. There were so many things going on here, things that were not part of his every day life... He imagined he wouldn't be bored here at all. ]

What an interesting question.

[Video] (Chinese) Haha np!

[meilihua.livejournal.com]

W-well, it's just that...you know, I haven't heard an accent like yours in a while so-

[Video] (Chinese) Let's pretend Lau knows his own history better than me lmao

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

My accent? What's wrong with it? [ He laughs lightly, amused by her. ]

[Video] (Chinese) Awwww /pats

[meilihua.livejournal.com]

Nono, there's nothing wrong with it! Um...it's just...a...little old-fashioned?

[Video] (Chinese) It's a learning experience~

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. [ Not really... ] I suppose to answer your question, the year is 1889, still under Queen Victoria's jurisdiction.

Oh! [And in the video screen, she smiles and slaps her fist into her open palm] That makes sense now!

[ Beams, glad to be of service. ] I hope my dialect isn't off-putting in any way.

[meilihua.livejournal.com]

Nono, it's definitely not that! [Just had to...get into the right mode] It was really nostalgic to hear it!

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

Nostalgic? Ahaha, what an interesting description. Well, at least this means I'm entertaining.

[meilihua.livejournal.com]

You seem like a really nice person!

[Video] (Chinese)

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

Not at all, I'm simply... one hell of a business man. [ dohohoho ]

[Video] (Chinese)

[meilihua.livejournal.com]

[Pfft] Well, I'm sure you're really good at what you do then!

[Video] (Chinese)

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

If I had the proper materials at my disposal and enough people involved, I could even start some business here. I'll have you know, my company also makes the best qipao in the world.

[Sparkly eyes] R-really...?! Ah that would be-

[Video] (Chinese)

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

Though it's probably impossible in a place like this!

[Video] (Chinese)

[meilihua.livejournal.com]

T-that's true... [Saddest face, Lau. Saddest face.]

[Video] (Chinese)

[lostblacksouls.livejournal.com]

Now now, such an expression isn't befitting a beautiful woman such as yourself. Your light shines forth no matter the dress you wear.
