[ there are several clicks, noises, and false starts to a video feed before moving into a voice only feed back to video before it silences completely for a few minutes. but during those brief seconds flashes of bright blue eyes focused on something and blonde hair can seen if you pay close attention.

finally after a few minutes of nothing but soft murmurs, a proper video feed seems to start up but all anyone can see are bare feet for another few moment or two before a face, zoomed in too closely, comes into view. luckily, this too is fixed and the audience can finally see her face--properly. ]

Th, this is on now, right? Hello?

Yeah! Just like that. See, you gotta look for the light.

( the voice comes from ikki who’s standing behind her, one arm slung over her shoulder to point towards the screen and the light in question. )

You should probably introduce yourself or something.

[ the camera shakes for a moment and a startled shout can be heard. the camera whips around and suddenly Ikki's face is now on camera ]

A, ah! I... [ a pause before the camera slowly lowers, giving the viewers a nice shot of his chest. her voice is soft, barely above a whisper. ] Ikki-kun..?

( he grins for the video feed before grabbing the device to twist it towards kururu’s face again. )

This is Sumeragi Kururu, an integral part of Kogarasumaru! Treat her kindly or suffer the consequences!

Uuuuh. Damn, okay.

You're in the City. Just "the City" because no one ever gave it a proper name because the guys that run this place don't give a shit about this stuff!

It's a pretty crappy place.

( whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the fucking phone? was that fucking spitfire? was he looking at spitfire?

the spitfire? the super homo who both aeon and kazu adored? )

[crowing]

( it didn't look any different than looking at his AI. yeah, that's kind of weird. )

[crowing]

( well, the whole thing is pretty fucking weird. what's the protocol for this even?

should he tell 'em that he kicked the bucket? what if he knows already?

maybe he'll go crazy and destroy the city if he finds out. )
