1st Night [Video/Action] | Japanese -- Location: Spero

[The feed begins hesitantly. As if the communicator is not quite sure whether it wants to work, not work, or just... explode into a bunch of itty bitty pieces, like a rain of confetti. A young child's face eventually becomes clear; small, sort of pretty, and dressed quite nicely, with an overlarge ribbon tied in a bow around his neck. He doesn't

It ain't yer friend, kid. Yer involved in a kidnappin' heist, or something of th' like.

[Voice]

[magicalgirloki]

[Squawking indignantly.] Kidnapping?! Not again...

This is precisely why I do not leave the house on my own anymore.

[Voice]

[westdetective]

There's no turnin' back now.

Apparently some group known as th' scientists took ya from yer home ta help restore a city. Most of us evacuated that city because a bomb went off nearby and forced us ta. New people have been turnin' up all over th' place even after th' attack. Do ya know where ya are?

[There's a period of quiet on the other end of the line as Loki processes the information. Then, as he observes his surroundings.]

... it appears to be some sort of ship yard.

[And then with a sound of distaste.] It's in terrible disrepair, and there's an awful lot of litter on the ground.

[Another small pause, and when he speaks again, his voice is softer.] I don't recognize the stars at all.

[magicalgirloki]

It's not as if I chose to come here.

[magicalgirloki]

Then you should choose your words more carefully. Communication is the foundation of all relationships, after all.

[Conan's voice is hoarse from a bad cold, but his general irritation at the situation is still obvious.]

You've been kidnapped. Like everyone else here.

[Video]

[magicalgirloki]

[You're irritated, Conan? Loki is irrtated. What use is it being a god if shit like this keeps happening to him?]

So I've been told. What did they do to Ecchan?

Re: [Video]

[modernholmes]

[You set yourself up as a detective. What did you expect?]

I don't know who that is. If it's a friend you were with, they might have been left behind.

[Video]

[magicalgirloki]

[Odin told him to. Your argument is invalid.

Also, Loki holds up a stuffed... thing for Conan to see. You couldn't call it a stuffed animal, because it's really just a white marshmallow shaped... thing.]

Ecchan. You can see him, can't you?

[ro_eltyeir]

[ What, a tiny child ended up here too?! D8 ] Hey, are you all right? Have you found shelter yet? [ Have you run into any monsters ]

[ Video | Japanese ]

[magicalgirloki]

[Not tiny, a god, okay, GOD D<

But, ah, ping! Pretty girl, Loki pulls a very childish, very distraught look and even manages to make it look like he's about to cry.]

N-no... I'm lost and I don't know where my papa is and I-- [Cue timely sniffle. Feel bad for meeeeeeeeeeee.]

[ Video | Japanese ]

[ro_eltyeir]

[ And she's not human either. 8| Your point, Tiny? ]

Can you tell me where you are? [ Not that she'd be stupid enough to go out alone, but aaaah cute helpless kid, you're breaking her heart! ...Or what passes for one in Vocaloids. ]

[ Video | Japanese ]

[magicalgirloki]

[It's not his fault okaaaaayy??]

S-someone told me that I'm in a ship yard in a place called Spero... are there really monters here? [And he's clutching a small white stuffed toy to his chest as well, to complete the b'aw innocent picture.]

[This is a responding child! Peering right back at this face.]

...you don't see any nasty lizards around, do you?

[All these new people seemed to speak Japanese lately. And there were so many!]

[Video]

[magicalgirloki]

Lizards are not nasty.

[Video]

[u_n_asplode]

These are! Lizard...bird things. They're not nice, and they're this big! [She stretches her arms up a bit, roughly indicating three feet. Ish. In her mind, anyway. Your mileage may vary.]

And they have teeth and little hooky knives on their feet.

[Video]

[magicalgirloki]

... I've seen bigger. [His son is bigger.

And he tiiiiiilts his head at the description and considers it carefully.]

They have... eating utinsels on their feet?
