[Dear patients of St. Edelweiss, you may notice that there is something strange going on with the intercoms tonight. Static, crackling noises, dull light and faint short-lived apparitions, complete silence: these are some of the things you're being treated to

[LMFAO GOD SCARE THE "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS" FACTION SOME MORE, WILL YOU, A?]

[he's been watching this and listening for a moment. but now? now there is a tapping sound against the intercom from the other side. and a voice, not directed at the intercom, but at his room mate.]

What is this thing doing?

[not_his_shadow]

[LMAO he'll tolerate that for now, if just because gd it this is... interesting.]

Is it normal for this thing to... [trying to find a way to describe this, o god]

... to play with the light? To show us these pictures? These people?

[doyouloveme]

[A can hear you. And honestly, it's kind of amusing him.

The holograms and noises stop, but what's this? Here, have some wires snaking out from... behind the intercom? There's no apparent opening. They won't get more than a couple feet before drooping and ceasing to be animated, but they'll track you around the room. Don't worry if they touch you - they're not electrified. Not enough to cause damage, anyway.]

[HOLYSHIT.]

[YEAH BRB HE'S OUT OF THE BED AND KEEPING HIS DISTANCE. DEAL WITH THE DISABLED GIRL IN THE BED PLS, WIRE-TENTACLES.]

This... thing is alive!

Re: laughing... so hard...

[doyouloveme]

[Sorry Nunnally, you might get a little shock from brushing against the wires. It's nothing worse than static, though.

And he turns off the electricity in those wires pretty quickly, because Nunnally has been... well, nice. Gentle, calm, compassionate... too much like C for A to find any amusement in harming her.

No such luck for the ones near you, Cao Pi.]

LMAOOO. dear fucking god the few times i want to tag i have a mad lag. :(

[not_his_shadow]

[O FUCK THIS SHIT LMAO. he's backing away to the other side of the room slooowly. getting ready to grab or... do something about them. pick up a chair and hit them or something maybe.]

Don't move. [low voice, but very serious here.]

It may be attacking.

[doyouloveme]

[When Nunnally's hand touches the wire it curls loosely around her fingers before it, and all the others near Nunnally, fall as limp as if they had never moved at all.

The rest are still in the air, and A can't suppress a little bit of laughter.]

[not_his_shadow]

[psh standing back and watching that. but that laugh? RIGHT. LMAO. glare at the intercom.]

Stop this at once.

[doyouloveme]

[Okay, between being found out and the man's indignant response, he can't help laughing anymore. The wire Nunnally holds detaches partway down, leaving the part wrapped loosely around her finger in her hand. The rest of the wires retreat back into the wall, leaving no trace that they'd ever emerged.]

[not_his_shadow]

[he's staring at this display, not really believing what he's just witnessed.]

What was that?

[not_his_shadow]

You have a friend who does these things?
