[the voice function turns on with a beep, and a woman's voice can be heard. she sounds rather distracted]

Oh, then this one should --- [another beep, and then the video function turns on, and you can see a lovely young woman smiling warmly, if a bit bemusedly, at the screen.] There! That wasn't so hard

[Someone's a bit over-sensitive about things dead. Or any hints to it.]

What do you want to know?

[video]

[marked_songbird]

Well, for one thing, what's it like living here? Besides the war and all of that.

[video]

[gotphones]

Well... I guess, like living in a normal city. Everything's themed, though. You live in apartments, go to school, fight and work and stuff like that.

[a laugh]

You know, somehow, I thought it'd be more exciting than that, but it sounds a bit like home already.

[He stays quiet for a minute, picking up on her hints, then sighs and says:]

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Oruha. There's quite a number of things to know about this place, so where would you want to begin? What do you want to know most?

[marked_songbird]

Hello! It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Mr. ...?

Well, I know it's possible to return, since that's what most everyone here seems to be striving for, but [and her voice falters a little] I suppose the biggest question for me would be if I could perhaps stay. Once everything is over, that is.

Günter von Kleist.

Stay? [He can't say he's surprised.] I'm not entirely sure. I've not heard of any one else who wished to remain here, but I'm sure if you spoke to those at Shibusen, you'd be able to work something out.

I hope you don't mind me calling you Gunter, then.

[she laughs a little self-consciously] It's just I'm not sure if I could go back, even if I wanted to.

BREW has a knack to bring in everything but soldiers.

[Most be a Windows.]

[Video]

[marked_songbird]

Does it? [she sounds very bemused by this]

Doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of all of this, then?

[Video]

[requiem_no_ame]

I'm starting to wonder if there is a purpose for this.

[Video]

[marked_songbird]

Has there been any change at all since you got here? Fighting or anything that would move this war forward?

Voice.

[livelyhood]

I'm sure you can be, Miss Oruha, if you want to participate. Fighting alone isn't the end of it.

[ his voice is soft, if not gentle. curiously - ]

I'm afraid I'm a bit late. Is there anything else you need covered, that others haven't?

[Video]

[marked_songbird]

Mr. Spirit did mention a few alternatives, now that you mention it.

[and, ah, such gentlemen the people were around here! she smiles]

Nothing I can think of at the moment. Thank you though. It's very kind of you to offer.

[Video]

[livelyhood]

Did any of them catch your attention?

Ah, well, if there's anything in the future. [ common smile, plain and simple. ] My name's Suzaku Kururugi. It's nice to meet you.

[Video]

[marked_songbird]

The boosting morale one, did!

I'll be sure to find you, then, Suzaku. It's a pleasure to meet you as well.

[voice]

[dofaye]

I'm sure I don't know much more about this place than you do, but I would like to warn you to avoid wandering around on your own. It's not safe for anybody, least of all a woman.

[Video]

[marked_songbird]

Oh? You mean that Scarecrow person who's been running around?

[voice]

[dofaye]

Among other things, yes.

[Video]

[marked_songbird]

Other things? The witches we're supposed to be fighting?
