[ The first thing the camera shows is a series of blurry images- whoever was moving the communicator was moving it around really quickly. Then- it pans up, and father, to the confused expression of a young woman. She's muttering to herself. ]

... What the hell kinda device is this? This is way too weird. It's like something from a movie... this

--Maria?! Wha- crap, y-you're also here? They got you too?

[tsundorapettan]

W-wait a sec- Maria, that doesn't make sense, I just saw you yesterday before I went to sleep!

[Jessica will notice that there's a strange creature on the screen with gray skin, huge horns, and pointy teeth. Though it also looks vaguely like it could be a thirteen-year-old boy. It's hard to tell.]

Uhh, I don't think it is a waste of time to ask. Because, uhh, you're not talking to yourself, really, since this is a communication device.

[ Which exactly why Jessica is just. staring. at him. for a while. ]

Uhh... so... who... am I talking to...?

[DAMMIT he forgot to switch to text again. Oh well. He tries to give her a reassuring grin, though it probably comes off as more nervous than anything. He's just as weirded out by you as you are by him, Jessica.]

Uhh, oh, yeah, my name is Tavros. Tavros Nitram. Uhh, hi.

... [ she's like WHAT AM I EVEN LOOKING AT ]

... Tavros Nitram, huh.. well, it's nice to meet ya, I guess. But Halloween isn't until the end of the month, y'know.

[ video ] jkdhjgj tl;dr I'm sorry..

[ Ange is more than just a little surprised at hearing that voice - it's been a long time, after all. And even longer since they actually saw each other in person. And there's a slight moment of conflict for Ange; if she uses audio Jessica wouldn't even slightly recognize her, and if she uses video she might notice she still doesn't quite look at her best.

... She just mans up and uses video. ]

Jessica onee-chan.. [ There's a slight moment of surprise before she forces on her best deadpan expression again. ] So they dragged you in as well now?

1/2 [ video ] YOU CALL THAT TL;DR okay no it's cool don't worry ;u;

[ There is something very familiar about that face- and that hair- and what she called her- she already met Maria at this point, and there was only one other person-....

but no way. she pushes that possibility aside. ...but on the other hand, considering everything that happened so far... ]

[tsundorapettan]

W-wha- w-who...?

[ video ] gdfgdf well it was sort of long and I don't want to be a bother on dana..

[endofdaydream]

[ It's cool. She already expected something like this - she was honestly a little surprised that Maria got used to seeing her like this as quickly as she did. ]

... Yeah, it's me, Ange. I'm older now-- ah, I guess it's a long story.

[ITS ALL USELESS...anyway, Med'an recognizes that last name!]

Ushiromiya? You must be related to Ange and Maria. [Cause that's not a common name...]

Are you at the temple, madam? And - do you see a crown of rowan neaby?

audio

[tsundorapettan]

[ it's the official Ushiromiya Family Catchphrase™! ] H-huh? Yeah, they're my cousins. You know 'em? ... And don't call me "madam", just Jessica is fine!

Well, I passed by a temple earlier... actually, when I just kind of arrived here, I saw one...

audio

[breakin_ur_lore]

[It's appropriate, sob...8( But hey, she seems nice.]

Jessica. My name is Med'an. I know this is all kind of sudden, but you should find the rowan crown and the village as soon as possible. It's dangerous to be outside without protection. You've been taken here by the fae, and by a man called the Guardian. Ange and Maria are here too.

audio

[tsundorapettan]

...The fae. U-huh, right... well, whatever. If it's like you said, I'll just go find the rowan crown and the village now- [ suddenly, a pause ] ...hey, I think I see a bunch of houses over there! ...Well, I guess you can call 'em houses- they're very old-fashioned-looking...
