--at is it--that's not right... [ The audio clicks on, seemingly accidentally. There's a frustrated grunt as Akihiko attempts to make the strange little device work. ] What kind of messed up watch is this?

[ The sound of tapping is louder than his voice until he lets out another growl. ] Dammit! [ The video feed then scratches on as his fist makes

Voice

[ax_crazy]

[A soft, youthful girl's voice chimes up suddenly. She sounds worried more than anything.]

That's not a watch, it isn't, it isn't! Rena was confused too when Rena first got here, but it's... like a telephone. Only it does other things too.

[ ...What in the--

...A...telephone? [ He frowns at the screen. ]

[Best way to demonstrate is by switching to video too.]

That's right. It's like a telephone! Not a watch. But like I said, it does other things too. Like this.

I'm thinking it's either an extremely annoying physical manifestation of a paradigm shift nobody wanted, a very elaborate prank, or a very bad dream. And considering it's been going on for a while now, I'm probably going to rule out dream.

Might as well make the best of it. I'm sure it could be worse.

Any of those sound better than what I keep hearing. [ How could the end of the world not be worse? Especially when it was his choice to try and stop it... ]

voice/action??

[laimperatrice]

-!!

[She knows that voice, and definitly knows that face, and the relief is instant. The sound of her heels comes first, as she runs to try and locate that rusty stairwell, the sound of her voice echoing.]

Akihiko!

[ Okay--that. It takes him a moment, mostly because of disbelief. He was sure that he alone had somehow survived this apocalypse, but-- ]

...M-Mitsuru!? [ And he's already on his feet. ]

voice/action

[laimperatrice]

[She pauses, stopping dead in her steps for a moment. Not because she was startled, or frightened, or anything of the sort. But because she heard him on her wrist, and then somewhere else.

The reality of his voice echoing through this strange building pressed a clamp around her heart. Was he really-

She swallows, then speaks more calmly, trying to keep her voice from trembling in the slightest.]

Akihiko, don't move. Just... keep talking.

Lost what?

[ Oh, this has private features too? But... ]

Who are you?
