「خمسة عش」strayed

[Voice]

My excuses to my dearest housemates~! Yet I doubt I will be available for lunch today... [Tatra's voice comes from over the echo of other two, much younger ones, amplified by some means.] I seem to have walked a bit too far. This is certainly not a location I recognize!

[These are clearly teenage girls shouting desperately, and even if

[Gunfire and screams… what kind of shard was this…? ]

[1001teatimes]

[There's a bit more of that before the girls' voices can be heard again. A little sigh from Tatra.]

[eagleofautozam]

[Afraid to ask… but does so anyway… ]

What is going on there…?

[Afraid because he believes he already knows the answer. Those girls are being killed aren’t they? ]

[1001teatimes]

Ah. Hello~? [The girls' pleas seem to overpower the audio.]

Kindly speak a little louder, if you please! These two darlings are being rather loud again~.

[eagleofautozam]

[Those screams kind of answer the question don’t they…

Waiting for the noise to end before trying to say anything else. ]

I was trying to find out what was going on in the world you were sent to…

[1001teatimes]

Commander~! Greetings, greetings. Well, you needed only ask! There is a somewhat violent scene unfolding before my eyes.

[eagleofautozam]

I gathered that from the transmission you sent…

[1001teatimes]

Indeed? And here I was fearing my communication would go through only faintly! Loud and clear, then? That is a relief~.

[eagleofautozam]

Maybe because I had already been forced to boost the gain on this thing…
[The Network Device - being ‘this thing’ ]

I was having such trouble with it when I was also in a shard.

[A beat. ]

But, you are of course dodging the question.

[1001teatimes]

You too, Commander? Dear me, are you saying this has been happening all around~?

[Dodging? Who's doing what?]

[eagleofautozam]

You cant have missed noticing what was happening in the City…
[You are too observant for that… ]

Why are those girls being killed?

[1001teatimes]

Commander, I hardly keep track of all strange events that transpire~! You understand that would take most of my time...

Ah! Well, in my opinion it may be because they are being... loud~? [Making it sound like a wild guess.]

[eagleofautozam]

Do you know where you are yet…? Whose world this is?

[1001teatimes]

I believe it belongs to dear Umi's young boyfriend~.

He is here, in quite a fact. He cuts quite the intimidating picture!

[eagleofautozam]

Her boyfriend…?

[WHHHAAAATT?! She has one of those...?? ]

[1001teatimes]

Am I not correct~? [And if Umi is stalking this here's where she should be yelling at her for the assumptions.]
