【001】 VOICE。

[paragnosia]

[ It's quiet for a while, save for the constant sound of static. Krrk, fizzled up, you're breaking apart - but then there's laughter, distinct, vaguely amused, laughter. It's soft, almost like a whisper. Gentle, but there's nothing kind about it. ]

It's impolite to rouse one's curiousity and simply leave it at that, Yamamoto Takeshi. You've yet to tell me anything of interest.

[kenspeck]

There's usually a reason for that.

[ A tiny pause. ]

I can't say much here, Mukuro. What do you want to know? I can tell you that we're stuck here, that no one knows how we got here, and that we have yet to find a way out. That about covers the bare basics.

[ And then there's a slow kind of laughter. ]

Things are certainly unfolding in an interesting manner.

[ You can almost picture him just roooocking back on his heels so innocently, EVEN AS TSUNA'S VOICE BREAKS OVER ON MUKURO'S COMMUNICATOR. ]

[paragnosia]

[ And here's Mukuro, quite convincing with the way he sounds completely caught off-guard. ]

You seem to have forgotten to mention that the Vongola is here as well, Yamamoto Takeshi. Was this deliberate?

I knew I was forgetting something.
