[The device flickers on, shifting as though on shakey ground and there is the dull shuffle of footsteps, skin on wood. Squeaking boards. The source seems to retreat in an unhurried fashion and it's quiet for some time, though there is a muffled murmur from the window. And the minutes drag on and on. And on. The view is of a hotel room, window ( Read more... )

Ah . . . Hello?

[This guy looks confused.]

[L offers a very similar response to his initial introduction.]

Mm? Yes?

[Oh.]

Oh, um, sorry. You just looked . . . kinda new? Is this your first time here?

How do I look "new"?

[He's picking at his shirt.]

Here?

[Why is he using audio all the time?]

Well, uh, when most people arrive here, in this Kannagara place, they look out of place. Disoriented. I know how it feels - one minute I was going to a bar and the next minute I was close to the biggest tree on planet Earth. So I thought it might have happened to you as well. You looked kinda confused there.

[Yeah, she's blabbering. But it's the only way to explain it, really.]

[The same story Mello has fed him, which is to be expected while one is dreaming, and so he gives a sound of understanding.]

Mm, I've been here the past few days. I suppose I may be somewhat disoriented as this is an odd situation. Given that it isn't a dream.

I'm pretty certain this isn't a dream.

[It has to be real, right?]

I'm Jessica Hamby. What's your name, mister?

What convinced you of that?

[He isn't certain as to what his prior self would have answered but, as has grown rather accustomed to it:]

Oh, that was rude of me. You may call me Ryuuzaki.

'Cause when you fall, you wake up. When you're being attacked, you wake up.

When you have a dream within a dream, you wake up.

I haven't waken up yet.

[She pauses.]

What, you Japanese or something?

[A random blurting because she realizes that unless this is a different Ryuuzaki, then this might be the guy Matt mentioned to M back when they are high. It might not mean something because they were high and were probably talking out of their butts, but it's enough to give her pause for just a bit.

If it's the same Ryuuzaki, then what does this mean for the business deal?]

That much is true. More time may need to pass before I accept it. How long have you been here?

[A sound of assent without hesitation.]

Mixed, though I wasn't raised in Japan.

[As fluent as he may be, he does tend to alip occasionally. It wouldn't do to play that role.]

Um . . . the days and nights here are so long that it takes forever. It's kinda disorienting, really. I think that I only been here about a two or three weeks but it feels like months. Does that make since?

Oh, uh. Hmm. I think I'm just English with some German. Or Scottish. Or something like that. I never been to the family reunion as far as I can remember.

I'm beginning to agree. It's difficult to busy oneself in a rural society.

[He sniffing at tea still, acting overly selective if only to frustrate, as he is bored and mildly depressed now that the fact's sinking in.]

Mm, I see. [Licks fingertip and dips to catch some and taste, raw.] Reunions are not terribly entertaining events.
