[The PDA clicks on when Alex rolls over onto it. For a while there's just darkness and a scraping noise as the virus gets up. Slowly. Unsteadily. The PDA is peeking over the side of his breast pocket, his lower torso and legs visible as he sits up. You can see the flap of his pocket occasionally getting in the way of the lens as he moves to look ( Read more... )

[Just a squeak at first from the other end. Then...]

[The squeak becomes a squeal.]

That was so amazing! How did you do it?!

[HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT]

Uh... just. You know.

...It's complicated.

[Sounds like you've already got the rundown! Which is good, because Link isn't giving it to you. Instead, he's just staring at the PDA screen, mouth open slightly in surprise. This guy is fast. He must have some special equipment, or potion or something!

So Link, video feed still on, is looking around outside for any sign of Alex.]

[No sign of Alex for a while, though you may catch a glimpse of him doing some pretty impressive bits of rooftop jumping and- did he just glide for a distance? Yup, he just glided.

Alex hears the PDA beeping when he lands, and raises a brow when he sees the kid looking outside the window.]

Hey. You left your thing on.

[HE GLIDED WITHOUT A LEAF!? Running to the outdoors!]

How did you do that?

How did I...

[He looks around. Clearly the kid is close by somewhere if he saw him since the PDA was nestled snugly in his pocket.

He scours the area for any sign of green with yellow hair.]

[By the time Allen gets to answering this broadcast, he has already gone through the other feeds and noticed Alex has gotten most of the basics.]

Sir? I see some of the others have already mentioned me by name. I'm Allen Walker, and if you have any other questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

[Alex recognizes the feed as one that Naoto... boy? sent him. The virus is silent, organizing his thoughts.

He's calmer now, having accepted (somewhat) his situation.]

Whatever you know, tell me. Anything about this place, or surrounding places. How this happened. Why this happened.

[AUDIO] I agree! /punts it across the galaxy tothelastbreath August 11 2011, 06:26:22 UTC

Alright. I apologise if it takes a while, and... I'd like to answer your last two questions, but I'm afraid we don't know for certain yet. As far as we can tell, this place used to be a thriving city until approximately a century ago, [ voice gaining an edge; this part of the tale still gets to him no matter how many times he has told it: ] when all of its residents were killed in seemingly a day. Those from the neighbouring city who came over to help were killed as well. We don't know how or why, only that the ghosts who brought us here were involved somehow. That little girl you spoke to is one of them. She's called Libitina and answers only to her master, whom we know even less about ( ... )

[Thankfully Alex doesn't think Allen is actively lying to him. He still doesn't believe the kid entirely but not because he thinks he's lying. He believes there has to be a reasonable explanation for this and from what he's heard, he thinks he may know what some of it probably is based on his own experience.

Not that he's going to share this with the rest of the class. At least not right now.

You can probably hear him pacing right now. Panic has returned and Alex is much closer to simply being a highly intelligent predator than a human being. The virus isn't good at planning and he knows it- he needs a steady hand to guide him to get things done. Dana, Ragland, Karen, Cross... While sometimes he'd been led wrong, or outright manipulated, the virus was well aware that his was too much of a blank slate to know what to do.]

Fine.

What...

[This is hard for him to ask. You can practically hear his teeth grinding together.]

What needs to be done?
