[Have a blond fiddling with the device he had just found on the bed beside him, before he lets out a triumphant smile as he finally activates it.]

Testing! Testing! One-two-three. Is this thing on?

[He peers at it curiously, as if expecting someone to appear on the screen.]Is this a communication device? I've never seen one of this model before

No.

[toneverabandon]

No?

[kandescence]

No, it's not a damn church. No, there's no short guy with a temper problem around, only an irritating red cat.

And probably no to whatever the hell you're planning to ask next too.

[toneverabandon]

Don't be like that! I haven't even asked the next question yet.

[kandescence]

Hn.

Well don't.

[toneverabandon]

Why not?

[kandescence]

Tch.

You're in some damn tower run by some stupid cat-thing that wants to play games. We're all in the same damn boat, none of us have found a way out yet, and I'm not the local answers service.

[toneverabandon]

... I was actually just going to ask where the kitchen was, but that helps.

[kandescence]

Hmph.

Go into the hall and walk towards the middle of the building. Mind the glass. [For some reason he seems almost inexplicably hostile as he says this, even more than he was before. Unfortunately, the cheery demeanor and inquiry about the kitchen are enough to remind him of a certain someone towards whom he bears no small animosity.]

[toneverabandon]

[He either doesn't notice or is pretty used to it, most likely the latter. After all, his best friend used to be like that.]

Thanks.

Hey, what's your name? I'm Mikage.

[kandescence]

[Hear that long pause? Yeah, that would be him glaaaaaaaring at the communicator like he's pissed off just at having been asked. He doesn't want to give the impression that he's willing to establish something like a friendship after all. No. Never. He's not going to hide his name for someone who asked for it though.]

Kanda.

[toneverabandon]

[The exchanging of names is a bridge to friendship though, Kanda.]

I've never heard of that name before. It's pretty unique.

[kandescence]

[Twitch. Twitch. Twiiiiiiiiiitch.]

And?

[toneverabandon]

[Smile. Smile. Smiiiiiiile. Oh wait, is this an opening for a conversation?]

And I was just saying.

What kind of country did you come from, Kanda?

[kandescence]

[Practically growling and speaking through grit teeth. He has no idea how he gave the impression that he's interested in making small talk.]

What the hell difference does it make?

[toneverabandon]

[Because the more you try to push him away, the more Mikage considers it as a sign of budding friendship. Give it up, Kanda.]

I was just curious. You don't look like you're from Barsburg.
