[Click goes the communicator. ]

Eh? Where’d the mansion go? I’m not in Pandora anymore… and this isn’t the Abyss either. Not dark enough. “Use this.” Well, what am I supposed to do with it?

[…]

Oh well, at least nothing’s trying to eat me this time. No big creepy baby… No Alice either.

…I wonder where everyone else has gone. Is anyone out here

....!

[ ... brb the communicator dropped ]

[2/stilldon'tknow]

[alittleraven]

[ sound of fumbling is heard, lolz, as well as hurried cursing ]

[3/4IGUESS?]

[alittleraven]

[ AND IS NOW WITH COMMUNICATOR IN HAND ]

Oz?!

[4/4]

[alittleraven]

Where are you?!

<3333

[acreepybrat]

Eh? The box is talking to me.

[HAVE A LONG PAUSE AS OZ EXAMINES THE COMMUNICATOR, then...]

Hi Gil! So where are we?

:D

[alittleraven]

The box is talking to y--

Oz, I asked you a question! Where. Are. You?

[ just a bit flustered and WORRIED, okay ]

[acreepybrat]

It is! Is this what they meant when they said that we were supposed to use it? [Have some shaking of the communicator, then a pause. Oz sounds pretty unconcerned, yup.]

Well, I can't really tell with all the fog. Uh, I'm on a street somewhere? Did you just get here too?

[alittleraven]

[ Fog ..... -- DANGER ALERT ]

Shit You're out there?...

Can you make out any street signs? [ ignoring your question again <3 ]

[acreepybrat]

[Slightly bewildered sounding but nooo, you're not getting him worried yet. Unhelpful Oz is unhelpful. <3]

Uh, where else would I be? I don't see any signs... There's a wall, I guess?

Hey, this is pretty cool. I can't see my fingertips if I stick my arm out far enough!

[alittleraven]

Oz!

[ raises voice just enough, but not too much because, lol, this is his master and all ]

Try...try hitting the button near the top to switch it to video. I'll try to figure out where you are.

[acreepybrat]

Gosh Gil, you don't have to shout~

[Moment of fiddling with the communicator, then video turns on and you get a feed of Oz, staring blankly at the screen. And fog. Lots of it, and no landmarks.]

What's this do? It's... a mirror? Whoa, this is pretty cool too!

[alittleraven]

[ resisting the urge to chronically facepalm ]

It...shows a moving picture or something with the person you're talking to. I don't know the specifics. [GREAT, AMBIGUOUS FOG ]

...Start moving some until I recognize something.

[acreepybrat]

Uwah~ so serious, Gil. This isn't so bad though. It's kind of like an adventure! Except that other guy mentioned monsters, so maybe it's like the Abyss instead.

Actually, that makes it more like an adventure-- like one of those scary books where the town is haunted and ghosts come up and swallow everybody.

[But even if he's rambling, he's doing as Gil says. Up until now the communicator has just been sort of swingin' around as Oz walks, showing random fog, maybe darker shadows that could be a wall OR SOMETHING WORSE. And then--]

Ow! Uh, I walked into a pole. Guess this place can be kind of hazardous after all...

It says 'Ingles Trail' on top. Does that help any?

[alittleraven]

Oz... [ sighing at Oz's sheer clumsiness ]

A bit, yeah.

[ Now he has Oz's location a bit more pinned down, but still. He could be anywhere on that road -- damnit. ]

Keep walking. I'm not that far from there, but.

Finishing up all mah Oz tags naow~

[acreepybrat]

I'm walking, I'm walking... but people keep on telling me to go inside. Eh, are you sure you should be out in the fog too?

I'm at the corner of the street right now.

Pft <3

[alittleraven]

That's why I'm trying to find you.

Can you see any signs that say Avenue or Boulevard?
