[Nothing really seems out of the ordinary at the clearing not far from the lake. It's just young woman apparently hanging laundry, and enjoying the peace of quiet for now.

But if you happened to really listen, you might hear something ringing softly in your head.

Are you there? Can you hear me?

[that's not one of the 'voices'. that's not ruka.]

[...yes?]

[designer_babe]

[hadn't really expected an answer.]

[Where are you?

[derepathy]

[the library]

[designer_babe]

[That's pretty far, but I hear you so clearly.]

[derepathy]

[where are you?]

[designer_babe]

[At the clearing by the lake. With laundry.]

[derepathy]

[there's some vague thoughts of heading that way]

[and then, eventually, have a nervous-looking teenage boy approaching!]

[designer_babe]

[setting the laundry basket down.]

Hello.

[derepathy]

Hi.

[designer_babe]

Your voice sounds just as I thought it would be.

[derepathy]

Yeah, I'm not one of those people whose thinking voice sounds different than their talking voice.

[designer_babe]

Your voice stays the same with organic based projection.

What's your name?

[derepathy]

I'm Shirakawa Yuki. What's yours?

[designer_babe]

Soma Peries.

I don't really call out that often. I thought I would try it today.

[derepathy]

I've only ever talked to Ruka that way. Did you get a lot of replies?

[designer_babe]

Two other people, and you.

Who's Ruka?
