[Certainly Mihai has fallen face down in the snow before with injuries, but it's not something he tends to make a habit of. Especially considering that the last he can remember, he was warm and cozy in a hospital bed, watching new of the world going to shit, but don't worry, Mr. Politician will make it all okay. Maybe in the face of the coming

..the hell? Even the wall has one of these things? [Because that's all he sees right now. Mihai moved away before he caught sight of him.]

[voice]

[Well, hearing Badou's voice coming from a back alley isn't too unfamiliar. Mihai's just confused because there's not a giant pile of garbage for it to be coming from. Just said wall and--a book?

Mihai is confused. This will be clear to Badou as the old man picks up the book.]

Seriously? I should have years to go before I start losing my mind.

[strayfag]

You too?

You're not going senile, old man. It's some weird techno crap.

You assume, of course, that "they" have any sense of common decency.

[Did...did that book just talk? Unaware that he'd apparently gone senile somewhere between hospital and snow, Mihai eyes the book suspiciously.]

Not really. I just try to look on the bright side.

[Okay, so that's a lie. But Mihai's got to say something while he finds a stick to poke this thing with.]

[voice]

[soulbait]

I assure you, there is quite a difference between positive thinking and the reaching of a captive for humanity in a dour situation.

[voice]

[whichwayagain]

Are you always this cheery when you talk to people?

[Found: one stick! Which Mihai is going to use to flip the book over. It's probably about as close as he'll get to a face to face, or so he thinks until he actually sees a tiny picture of Ciel on the page.

Huh.]

So I'm a captive? Just who managed to capture me?

[voice]

[tehoniongirl]

[sounding concerned. The video's not clear enough to really see who's talking or where they are...but having been dumped only a few days ago herself, she's pretty familiar with how miserable that can be]

Unfortunately, the lack of clothes seems to be a trend around here. Do you need some help?

Re: [voice]

[whichwayagain]

[Talking books and unseen powers with a fondness for nudity? Even for someone like Mihai, this looks like the start of a very special chapter in the book of weird. But the book seems courteous, at least?]

To say the least. [Mihai will approach the book with caution, and then, when it doesn't try to immediately kill him, pick it up to better--converse, for lack of a better word.]

You wouldn't happen to know just what's going on here, would you?

[voice]

[tehoniongirl]

I've got some blankets here, and I can show you to the welcome center where you can get some decent clothes if you can tell me what's around you.

[a pause] I'm pretty new myself, but the basic gist is that someone around here thinks its a good idea to pull people from their worlds and drop us all in one place, sans clothes and plus wings.

[voice]

[whichwayagain]

[Blankets and indoors--meaning warmth. Mihai approves of this.]

Well, I'm in an alley now, but I doubt that's of much help to you. Let's see--

[He'll describe a few buildings, trying to leave out obvious things. Maybe he'll say enough before he catches on to something the book said.]

--Wings?

[Mihai's silent for a moment as he checks, and...well, crap.]

...If this is a joke, it's a really bad one.
