[When the picture first comes on, Kazuha looks almost oddly focused on the communicator, but it quickly turns into an awkward smile.]

I just thought of somethin'...

[She holds up her cell phone.]

Uhh, does this work here? I haven't actually checked yet.

[handsoffmyskirt]

I don't think so- mine wouldn't work for me when I tried it.

[ahoutastic]

Ah, that's too bad. ...Do ya think they'd be useful here?

[handsoffmyskirt]

Probably not- there's not a cell tower around, that I've seen- so it'd be difficult to transmit the signal.

[ahoutastic]

I see. ...Ya have a good point, I mean.

[westdetective]

Idiot! They've been out of service since we got here. Th' culprits prolly interfere with th' signal.

[Video]

[ahoutastic]

Fine, I was just askin'!

[Video]

[westdetective]

Yeah- an' I was jus' tellin'. No need ta get angry.

[Video]

[ahoutastic]

[grumble.] So yer sayin' they're useless here?

[video]

[fragrancy]

Mine didn't work earlier. [ And it's dead now, so he can't check. ] I guess there's no service.

[video]

[ahoutastic]

Oh, gotcha. Do... Er, I wonder how many people had this happen...

[video]

[fragrancy]

I guess there are a lot of people who don't know what cell phones are, so it's probably not a majority. [ He is, by the way, very weirded out by this lack of knowledge. ]

[video]

[ahoutastic]

Ahh, really? If that's th' case maybe that's why they don't work.

[ Blink. Blink. She's almost forgotten about her cell phone-- ]

Kazuha-chan! [ She looks a little surprised to see her in her room. ] N-no, I think most people tried that when they got here, unfortunately.

...mmm, did you just get back in?

[ahoutastic]

Ran-chan! Huh, guess I was th' only one that didn't.

Ahh...Yep!

[waytoopatient]

Y-y'could've woken me up, you know.

[ She looks concerned. ]

Where did you go? Not far, I hope...

video;

[ahoutastic]

No no, I was just takin' a walk. Didn't want ta bother ya.

[fierybluebird]

Others haven't been able to use theirs, eh.

[ahoutastic]

Oh, do ya have one?

[fierybluebird]

Nah. In my world, such things are done using den den mushi -- machinery hooked up to telepathic snails.

[ahoutastic]

Telepathic...snails...? What're...? [Just. Lost.]
