四十八 [video] +map application for communicators

[asideglance]

[The video clicks on to Japan, though a bit pale, merely looking focused while walking. The serious sort of mood might be ruined by the blue phoenix moving from resting on his head to curling around his neck, though. Shortly after the feed turns on, something is sent to everyone's communicator. A program!]This is the map program I was speaking of

Wonderful, a map.

Marco told me you were working on this. It's actually rather incredible.

[He sits silent for a moment, wondering how he was going to ask about why Japan and China hated each other. He felt like he had to fix their relationship... somehow...]

[Video]

[asideglance]

Ah, do you truly think so? How kind. I hope it will be of use.

[Oh Spyro cute.]

[Video]

[fatdragonfly]

It surely will, especially because Cynder's trying to find me. Did I tell you she arrived to Discedo?

[His chest pouts up, and he shows signs of true happiness. Nothing could make him any more joyful.]

[He's still trying to find a way to ask though...]

[Video]

[asideglance]

Ah, I did not hear this. She is a friend of Spyro-san's, correct?

[video]

[fragrancy]

[ He was so going to comment on the map, because he's been trying to explore and it's so cool that Japan does these things and you better bet he'll say something about Japan's health eventually (come on, he's allowed), but: ]

That's an impressive bird.

[video]

[asideglance]

Ah, this is Marco.

[video]

[fragrancy]

[ He looks thoughtful for a moment. ]

Did you mention him before?

[video]

[asideglance]

Ahhh, oh, I cannot recall if I have. ...He is a friend of mine.

[musicboxsoldier]

Hm, the program will be useful.

...How's your current condition?

[asideglance]

I am glad.

[Oh wow you know what, Japan finds himself unable to lie to Kresnik about this... gkfdjsgld]

. . . I am facing some effects from the radiation, but I believe I will be fine in time.

[musicboxsoldier]

Marco is taking you to Cube, correct? ...Does Cube even know how to deal with radiation?

[asideglance]

Ah, Cube-san seems to be informed through reading, and that is all. He gave me a few tips and said that I should stay away from others, so I intend to follow them.

Does Kresnik-taichou have any knowledge of it?

[VIDEO]

[thepurpleway]

Oh! This program is very nice! [Fiddles around with it like a new toy.

Stops all of a sudden.]

Wait, are you here now, Japan-san?!

[Sees that phoenix from before, but it changed to Marco...]

YOU'RE THAT PRETTY BIRD?!

[VIDEO]

[asideglance]

Ah, Gakupo-san. I am glad you like it-- eh?

...Ah, yes, I am here... I did not know Gakupo-san did not know Marco was a phoenix.

[VIDEO]

[thepurpleway]

I had no clue... [Still in awe] How is such a thing possible?

And...are you alright? Do you need to come down to the hospital? I could come to you as well, but I'm just Cube's assistant...

[VIDEO]

[asideglance]

I will allow him to explain it. ...But, ah, I am fine, but-- [a pause. he was going to argue that he couldn't see Gakupo because the radiation might spread but...]

Does radiation effect Gakupo-san?

[sojournsparrow]

[Haer'Dalis' deep blue eyes widen at the sight of the phoenix on Japan's shoulders, but they widen even more so when it turns into Marco.]

Well I'll be...

[Before he can help it, Haer'Dalis is laughing, wiping a tear of mirth from his eye]

Haha! I had not known how appropriate my nickname had indeed been for you, aye my little bluebird? (That's right, you're a bluebird now, because calling you phoenix would be redundant.)

Oh and that does look like quite the useful function of this communication my good Japan. I would have hated to have to try mapping this place out myself, so this certainly saves me the trouble. Still... what kind of poison were you hit with that is causing yon phoenix such concern? Was it that toxic dust that Spyro the dragon ran into problems with?

[asideglance]

[For fear of being kicked again, he'll not mention the phoenix thing. Instead, he'll just frown.]

Ah, I am glad it can be of use, then. ...It's, ah... radiation, but I will be fine.

[sojournsparrow]

In some ways though I suppose it does take some of the fun out of exploring since now I know what to expect, but I suppose it saves me time regardless.

Ahh... the radiation that our good vulture mentioned. I had not been quite aware of what exactly radiation was... now I suppose I do. By the way, are you and Marco perhaps lovers? It was the general impression I got from some of the video feeds I glanced at.

1/??? I will tell you

[asideglance]

If exploring is something you are interested, there is much more beyond what I have mapped, after all. Perhaps it you venture that way, I could ask you to record what you find and send it to me? I can always add on to this...
