[The video comes on quickly - Ikutsuki's staring with interest at the screen, and gives a little sigh. If he's uncomfortable in strange clothes and an unfamiliar lab, he sure isn't showing it.]

I had been wondering if this computer was even operational...I haven't touched one of this model in years. Luckily enough, I seem to remember a good deal

[A little girl's voice answers. Sort of.]

It can send pictures too?

[Audio]

[surelovethefall]

[Aaaand Ikutsuki is oblivious! He puts on his best encouraging fatherly voice and ignores the tactless urge to interrogate what he thinks is a kid.]

If you mean the video function, then yes. This is an old laptop, but it appears to be working quite well for its age.

If I may ask, who am I speaking to?

[Audio]

[u_n_asplode]

I've never seen one before.

I'm Flandre.

[Audio]

[surelovethefall]

A pleasure, Flandre. You have never seen a computer before? That's very odd - did you come from an underdeveloped country?

[Audio]

[u_n_asplode]

I don't know. I haven't seen the rest of Gensokyo. Did they have them in France and were just hiding them from me?

I want to make mine send pictures too.

[surelovethefall]

They might have - I'm not sure where in France you came from.

[BRB flipping through his computer manual. No, he already knows how to switch between the various communication mediums, but people are more comfortable when they feel like someone else is as lost as they are.]

It says here to access the menu bar - that's the row of buttons along the very top of the screen - and press 'options'. In the options menu, hold your cursor over 'devices' and click on 'communication methods'. Another menu will pop up - there should be three buttons from there. 'Audio', 'Video', and 'Text'. Apparently, these open the appropriate programs.

...If that's too complicated to remember - I certainly wouldn't be able to recall in five or so minutes - I believe there's an icon on your desktop that is much quicker. I simply prefer the options menu method.

[Audio] fffff

[u_n_asplode]

[A pause, as Flandre attempts to remember...]

...it was a long time ago. I don't remember anymore.

[There is a bit of scuffling--and some scratching--as she messes with the touchpad and the screen. Unlike the room containing her, the device didn't seem to be quite as indestructible, and the little vampire's claws weren't helping.

For the technologically deprived, Shuji's explanation didn't make much sense either...but, there would be time to bother him about that later! Someone missed the What Are Technology 101 class.

But, there was a little picture-in-the-picture that she could see. Was that what he meant? Flandre dragged the little object across the screen with the strange little rectangle, and tapped on it.]

Like this? Is it sending pictures?

[Suddenly, lolipire! You see a small girl, with shoulder-length blonde hair, glowing red eyes, and simply bizarre constructs apparently sprouting out of her back. Flandre's iron and crystal wings are folded idly against her back, as if they were living ones. She is tapping on

[Audio] aksjfjf I tried

[surelovethefall]

[Awesome! Pat on the back for Ikutsuki. Except now he's understandably surprised about...well, the wings, and the eyes, and the craters.]

Yes, it is working. Good job.

[...It's a good thing he's seen weirder stuff before, though, and he can just laugh it off. Sure, the scientist in him is simultaneously freaking out about wherever the hell he's gotten himself stuck and fascinated about this kid and the possibilities, but he hides it.]

[Audio] /brb infecting the facility with malware

[u_n_asplode]

Then you can see me now? Hello~

[The wings in question seem to ripple to life, spreading out a bit from her shoulders and glowing softly; a little brighter than her eyes now.]

[Audio] /popcorn.gif

[surelovethefall]

Hello; it's a pleasure to meet you, Ms...? I wouldn't wish to be rude and not know your name, young lady.

[And he waaaatches. Maybe they can blow up a moon. If Nyx isn't in wherever the hell he is, he's thinking about trying to blow up the moon and kill everyone with tsunami waves.]

[Audio] /everyone's CD drives open randomly every five seconds or so

[u_n_asplode]

I'm Flandre Scarlet, the one you were talking to before.

[She did blow up a meteor in canon! Though people live on the moon in that canon too.]

[Audio] The cursor naturally drifts in random directions, no matter where you move the mouse

[surelovethefall]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Scarlet. I'm a little disoriented here, actually - forgive me.

[Wonderrrrful. But, Ikutsuki won't be plotting anything violent. Y'know, that'd be silly.]

[Audio] Also all the icons and bits of taskbar fall down to the bottom of the screen

[u_n_asplode]

Are you sick?

[Of course not, that would be quite silly!]

[Weeeell he was preparing to actually sacrifice some teenagers to a death god creature thing that was inevitably going to destroy all life on the planet.]

A little tired.

[Clearly this is only vaguely interesting and not worth mentioning.]

How are you?

[Audio] EXCELLENT

[u_n_asplode]

I miss Remi. And I want my hat back.

Also, the floor bit me.

[Audio]

[surelovethefall]

...The floor?

[SUSPISHUN. Mark the floor as something else he needs to either investigate or avoid.]

How did it bite you?
