001 | [Accidental Video / Action]

[A new(?) face appears over the network. It belongs to a young woman with light hair and olive eyes. The face is also upside down.]

[She peers into the communicator screen curiously for a moment, tapping a button or two experimentally with a gloved finger - oh! it's making a beeping sound whenever she touches it. But after a few moments, she turns her head away as if distracted, and a worried frown creases her mouth. Fascinating as it is, there are far more pressing matters at hand. Far more pressing. She finally speaks - but to herself.]

Where is this place? It doesn't appear to be in the Zao Desert at all. They couldn't possibly have...

[She draws her arms in closer.] --No. I'm certain there's a perfectly reasonable explanation. Well then. If they are unable to return for me, I must simply take charge of matters and search for them myself!

I don't think anyone knows- haven't gotten an answer yet, anyway. The gods here just seem to be having fun.

[He shrugs... and nearly laughs. This place is definitely a strange one. He doesn't have any of the answers she's looking for - there's no known exit. It doesn't even have a name.]

It's just the City, actually. And there's no way out.

But there's a chance your friends are here. What're their names?

[Unfortunately for Natalia, this is hardly a laughing matter. She crosses her arms over her chest and raises her chin.]

Having fun at the expense of others sounds a bit more accurate. Is there a way in which the city's "gods" can be contacted? I should like to have a few words with them.

...Even so, I can't accept that. There are people suffering in Akzeriuth even as we speak.

[And she hesitates for a moment. If this truly is some other world, then names and titles won't matter. Still, she'd prefer to be at least a little cautious.]

Luke and Guy are...they're friends of mine. In addition, we were accompanied by several others: Colonel Curtiss, Anise, and Tear. There's also Fon Master Ion; while he wasn't traveling with us at the time of our departure, we were seeking to rescue him.

Yeah, actually. [He pulls out his device.] You can call them up on this thing. If you call them, they'll answer. Or something like that.

[Oh hey!]

Luke- I know him, actually. So you've got at least one of your friends here. Can't help you with any of the others, though.

[Natalia looks from Yuri's device to her own and back. They seem similar, but not quite identical.] Well, I suppose that simplifies things. How would someone go about "calling" another person with one of these fon machines?

[Does he really? A wave of relief washes over Natalia and she visibly brightens.] Truly? Is he...was he doing well the last time you spoke with him? No, it's quite all right. I feel certain we'll be able to reassemble the rest of the group. I'm absolutely sure of it.

You just hit the green button- then type in the person you want to call. Or-- click. You click it.

[He's learned how to use this weird stuff!!! He knows jargon!!]

He was kind of shy, actually. Or at least around me- I get the feeling he just didn't know what to do with me.

"Click" it...? [One clicks one's teeth, or one's heels, how does one 'click' a machine? But she does manage to find the green button. She almost presses it, too--but stops.]

[Luke 'shy'...? Natalia can hardly imagine such a thing. She's used to a very frank redhead who says what's on his mind, even if it can be hurtful on occasion.]

Perhaps he's still adjusting. Luke is normally quite energetic, although it's true he doesn't often have the opportunity to meet new people.

...I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?

Who knows- then again, I hear something's wrong with me anyway.

[He made a trade - his memories for someone's life. So he's not really the Yuri everyone's used to right now.]

Nope. Introduce away. I'm Yuri.

Something's wrong...? Are you ill?

[She'll distract herself long enough to incline her head and force a polite smile.]

It's a pleasure, Yuri. My name is Natalia, and I'm quite capable as a healer if you're in need of such services. [...He did, after all, freely admit that there was a problem.]

I honestly have no clue. I think I'm missing a few memories is all.

[He shrugs, not really caring too much about the subject.]

Natalia- nice to meet you. [A grin]

I'll keep that in mind next time I have a nasty run-in underground.

...Oh, I see. [All the missing memories. How can everyone take such a thing so lightly when every moment is meant to be treasured?]

Indeed. [She folds her arms.] But what of this underground? Are there by any chance ruins present beneath the City?

Ruins? I haven't gotten that far, but there are a few monsters down there.

You interested in that kind of thing?
