Ezio?! Ezio! Signore Machiavelli? Mario?

[A man’s voice, light and warm but so very confused, broadcasts with an abrupt crackle of static. Then, there is a noticeable pause, followed by a heavy cough and the scrape of debris.]

[As he expresses his surprise, a faint Italian accent hangs onto his every word:] Dio mio! (My God!) What a mess! Even my

[...Is that.]

[looseleafbook]

[Nah. Just a trick. Right?]

[looseleafbook]

[After all, he's been dead for quite a while.]

[looseleafbook]

[...But if this was a trick then they've done a very good job of mimicking the great Leonardo da Vinci.]

[looseleafbook]

[So it's got to be him, right?]

DONE

[looseleafbook]

[Forgive him, after using Russian so often his Italian might have an odd accent.] Er... Signore da Vinci? I'm afraid this isn't the hand of anyone that you know, more like a little girl's who is a ghost.

I'm still not sure what these things are called but they help us keep in touch with one another, she's kidnapped several others as well as yourself. But I'm afraid I haven't heard of this 'Ezio' Signore da Vinci.

[What's this? Leonardo ceases his current investigation (of a rusty swing-set swaying in the breeze) and offers his device another of those puzzled, increasingly wary stares. Goodness, there are so many people capable of using these things! This one even speaks Italiano! But... how does Leonardo know this? He's a man of science, not superstitions, but he can come to no logical answers for what's taking place.

Just what sort of sorcery is at work here?]

Ah-bonjourno! I see my reputation precedes me! Unfortunately, I am sorry to say I do not recognize your face. Are you acquaintances with one of my commissioners? Are you from Florence, as well? If so, I must insist you call me Leonardo. [brief smile] And, also... [his grin becomes sheepish] You must realize that your explanation seems rather far-fetched. Were I not suddenly somewhere else, I would never believe you!

[Buttons aren't too hard to figure out and he's been here for a while by now. Even if he's in a horrible habit now of flinging it at the door or out windows. ... Yes.

If he were capable of meeting Leonardo in person then he would! But unfortunately he's busy at the moment and can only speak this way. ;A;]

Signore, I'm afraid I'm not from your time and that is why my face is not recognized by one such as yourself. So I must confess I know you only by your reputation and works, though it is a great honor to meet and talk with you even if it's not face to face. Though I have visited Florence I must also confess that I am from England, I learned much while I was there, however.

[Lavi gives a brief and strained smile.] I do, signore, but I'd be happy to answer any questions the others have not.
