[The video switches on to show Eyes sitting some distance away in a chair. His arms are folded across his chest and his legs are crossed - casual and relaxed. A calm - one could almost say cool - unreadable look is on his face.]

It's been over a month now. [A pause. Yes, that was his greeting to y'all, forced denizens of not!Atlantis.] Apart from

There was a festival?

[ His curiosity has been piqued. ] Mm, that depends--if it leads to a criminal investigation, I'd prefer not to share information with a minor. But as long as it doesn't, I'm sure it's fine, ja?

Or perhaps to better put it: the song doesn't remain the same if you hide half the notes. But some of them are important to convicting... whoever's doing this, you know?

[driedfisheyes]

Indeed.

[pause. twitch.] Please do not bother considering me as a minor. I don't.

But what use is the score for the entire orchestra if you're only a flute player?

[guiltyguitar]

... So they were elated the rest of you were here? Curiouser and curiouser. And yet we still have no 'motive' for this mass-kidnapping...

[ Oh, Eyes. No offense is meant by it, of course. ] Ah, watch it--before you know it, those little creases will turn into wrinkles, you know~? Smile once in awhile! It's good medicine.

[ And now on a more serious note hahahurr: ] ... But that is just how it pans out--legally, anyway. Generally, were this a crime scene, I'd have a lot of paper-signing for you all to do... [ Annnd there's a pause. ]

Of course, from the rockstar who just happens to be off his day job as a prosecutor, however... that depends on if we can find something, doesn't it?

The more the merrier. Testimony is only so good when the logic behind it is as full of holes and gaps as a flute itself, after all~

[driedfisheyes]

[Smile...Kanone--but no, no good to be distracted here.]

We are [pause for emphasis] underwater in a city that should not exist with people who should not exist and powers that should not exist. Your testimony would not hold either way.

[guiltyguitar]

It isn't mine I'm looking for. It's better information. It's really the same thing.

Either way, it's fairly ridiculous. [ He seems to be messing with a guitar now. ] I'll be put off of seafood for the rest of my life, I think.

[driedfisheyes]

Your future dietary problems is no concern of mine.

And have you found any...better information?

[guiltyguitar]

My, so serious. You're going to turn old being like that all the time, you know?

[ A pause, and the guitar in the background plays a sudden chord. ]

The Priestess here. I think she's our ticket to information. If I could get to that church to talk to her... well, that might be our best ticket out of here. That's what I think.

There has to be a reason she only appeared once. [ Yeah, he'd asked around about that and he's only been here for a little while. He works fairly quickly. ]
