Has anyone witnessed that odd video on the network?

[Natalia's face is one of concern, considering she recognized the hat mentioned.]

It's odd - I haven't seen anything like this before. I certainly hope it's nothing more than a slight inconvenience, but are we in any particular danger?

Tear.

[Natalia's not entirely certain how to initiate this conversation.]

The child in that video. Is it you?

[ locked video ]

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ There's a strangely long pause to her question. Tear was uncertain how to exactly reply to that.

She did not remember possessing such a doll, or wearing such clothes. The hate, however was definitely something she had seen before. In short, she decided it was best to deny it until she found better information regarding this. ]

Unfortunately, Natalia, I am uncertain. I do not believe the child is me, though she possesses the hat I used to have. Perhaps, this child also came from Auldrant?

[noble_roar]

Perhaps, but I don't see any familiar names on the directory, nor have I come across any young children while exploring.

[sigh]

I just had to ask, however.

[melodyoftheabyss]

I have not either and it is rather strange. The video seemed to be flickering oddly.

[ She mused lowering her gaze. ]

It is fine, but as you can see, I am right here, so I am certain at the moment, that the child is not me.

[noble_roar]

You're right, that was a bit of a silly question. I was under the assumption it was a prior recording or perhaps something from your past.

[she shakes her head]

We can't make out too many details, so I suppose there's no sense in stressing out over it when we have so little information to go off of.

[melodyoftheabyss]

It is fine. You were right to be cautious, Natalia. It is better to ask then to not be certain.

[ She replied with a nod. ]

I suppose we should investigate this when we get the chance. This world is strange with the way it functions.

[noble_roar]

[nod]

In the meantime, we have these devices to keep in touch when we're not together.

[melodyoftheabyss]

Indeed. They are quite useful as long as we do not lose them, we will be fine.

[ She replied giving her companion a small gentle look. ]

[Open video]

[expendable_son]

I saw it and I'm concerned that the child could be in danger. Do we have a way to know where the images originated from?

[noble_roar]

[shakes head]

As far as I can tell, I haven't seen any children here in Sardenia.

threadjack okay? :<

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ Tear also decided to speak as well. ]

Likewise. I have not seen a female child here since we have been trapped here.

threadjack is a-okay with me anytime :D

[expendable_son]

Quite peculiar, then.
It would not follow any sort of logic to broadcast a random image unless there was some type of meaning behind it.

Perhaps we need to learn more about these devices.

[noble_roar]

[sigh]

I've been attempting to figure it out, but I've never been particularly good with technological devices. It's quite frankly amazing I can even manage these video comments.

I'm sorry I totally lost this thread D:

[melodyoftheabyss]

Yes, it is a valid point.

Unfortunately for myself, I am in the same situation as Natalia. These technological devices are quite foreign and there seems to be more to them than they appear.

[bitty_hellraiser]

[Pokepoke. What is this strange thing?]

Um...

[He doesn't know how to use it, so he'll just keep carrying the thing around, along with his teddy bear.]

1/2

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ Dear Yulia, it's a child, and he's holding a teddy bear. He's also mini sized. ]

[melodyoftheabyss]

Excuse me, are you lost?

[ She mused, seeing the strange look he was giving off. ]

1/2

[bitty_hellraiser]

[Hey wait, the thing is talking to him...?!]

2/2

[bitty_hellraiser]

[He holds it up to his face and sees a girl. Why is she inside of it?]

Where is this place...? Who are you?

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ It's not talking to him, Tear was through the device. ]

I am not certain of its name, but it seems we have been taken here against our will.

My name is Tear Grants, I am one of the few people that have ended up being here.

Are you lost? Do you require assistance?

[bitty_hellraiser]

[He has no idea what the device even is. u.u New technology to the kid.

Uh oh, did someone kidnap him? He looks panicked for a moment.]

Father isn't here...?

[He wants to hide behind his teddy bear, but instead, he grips it more tightly.]

Uh huh... [But... can he trust this girl? He doesn't know who she is. She might be trying to trick him.]

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ Tear was not that knowledgeable with these kinds of things either, but she knew a thing or two about fon tech that she could access this. She didn't want to scare him too much but it was better to tell him the truth than to lie to him, even if he was a child. ]

I'm afraid I do not know what your father looks like. He might be within the premise, though there aren't many of us here.

[ So cute, but she had to stop herself from reacting that way. ]

Do you know where you are located? Can you show me your surrounding.

[bitty_hellraiser]

[If Father wasn't here, maybe Yashamaru was...? He had to try to find them on his own first. If he got taken here by force, it meant there were bad shinobi around.]

I dunno... [His lower lip juts out in a stubborn pout.] I hafta find Father.

[He lowers his arm and continues walking around. Without meaning to, he's giving away his location by showing her what is around him.]

[melodyoftheabyss]

[ Tear had not seen many people here and looking at the way he was dressed, it was quite obvious that he came from another world and another meant that people of their world were distinctively different people from other worlds. She could have noticed people dressed in similar attire like his but she didn't. She didn't want to be the bringer of bad news but it was obviously something she had to do. She didn't want to give him false hope. ]

There are not many of us here, and I have not seen anyone that appears anything like you, unfortunately.

[ she replied and noticed he was walking. She wasn't prepared to leave a child out by themselves, so the fonist was already on the move, following with her own device to find the boy and his location. ]

[noble_roar]

... are you all right?

[ Open Video ]

[koori_no_ken]

[ Oh, it's that woman again, but the strange video feed definitely had his attention.

He was investigating on his own for a while and it came down to this. He didn't find anything useful and he was still detached from most of the people here. ]

Don't let anything past you, I suppose.

[ He mused flatly. ]

[noble_roar]

[Oh bloody Hell it's him again]

I have to be observant. For me, it's not an option.

[koori_no_ken]

[ How will you deal with this jerk face, Natalia? ]

Do you know what it is?

[ He might actually be talking to her but keeping himself from further insulting her since a lot of things he said could be taken the wrong way. ]

[noble_roar]

It's obviously a recording of some sort - we cannot interact with it nor interface with it directly. Whether it's an error or perhaps even a warning is another matter entirely - we'll have to wait and see.

[koori_no_ken]

That is not what I am referring to, woman.

[ He replies to her without trying to mask his emotions but that question is soon answered when she spoke again. ]

...Perhaps a game that they're trying to play with us.

[noble_roar]

I like horror stories, but this is beyond good taste.

[koori_no_ken]

It is too ridiculous to call a horror story.
