[yeah it's text for the first part, but then the audio somehow clicks on--]

--on't this communica..! Ah? Something happened?

[the voice is male, and very confused. there is more

[kleptochango]

Having trouble?

[brightshielding]

[the audio flickers on again, but it's all static at first, and then it clears out just in time for a very concerned voice:]

--hope I didn't break it...

[kleptochango]

I heard your voice, so you probably did not break it.

[brightshielding]

O-oh, there's that voice again...

H-hello? [There's a loud tapping; he's still trying to figure out how this works, and is this thing talking to him?] Mr. Communicator, is that you?

[nicknaming]

Whoa! You're abusing the communicator!

[brightshielding]

[the video is on, but it's all upside-down. Riou is still in the middle of figuring things out.] N-no I'm not! Who is this now, you don't sound like Yoh!

[nicknaming]

Hey, now you're holding it upside-down now!

Oh right, the name is Norma Beatty and welcome to Death City!

[brightshielding]

--it is? [He turns it right around, but manages to somehow turn off the video and switch to audio.] Sorry about that!

I'm Riou!

[epicenities]

Kid. It's not that hard.

[brightshielding]

It's not my fault! I've never seen anything like this before! [Riou puffs his cheeks.]

[epicenities]

Just press the damn buttons!

Sheesh, and that blond guy said it made sense to have clueless people here.

[brightshielding]

But I might have broken it if I pressed anything without knowing what they did! A-anyway, Yoh taught me how to use this communicator just a while ago, so..!!

[ih8spiders]

... Did you read the user's manual?

[Voice]

[brightshielding]

...... [Yeah, the silence goes on for a while longer.]

There was a user's manual?

[Voice]

[ih8spiders]

They should have given it to you along with the communicator itself, in that dark room you first arrive in.

[Voice]

[brightshielding]

Ah, um...! [There's the sound of rustling papers, cloth, moving around in a sort of panic, until...]

...Oh! I must have forgotten about it......

[Text forever, 'cause he's ~trolling~]

[loves_humanity]

Aah, sometimes you forget how difficult this whole thing can be the first time. Didn't you have technology like this in your world?

[Voice]

[brightshielding]

No, this is the first time I've seen this sort of device. We did have clockwork machines, and there was Gadget, but we did not have things like this communicator!

[loves_humanity]

Aww, it's okay! It might seem really complicated, but it's reeeeeeeeeal simple once you get the hang of it.

[brightshielding]

Mm, I guess so... But I think I really like talking in person more.
