002 [Video]

[settleforahug]

[The camera blinks on as a child wearing a red Yukata, and has an identical mullethawk  haircut as Daken hits a keys.  He's staring hard at the keyboard and pressing random keys, not liking the sound that comes out.  He presses them even harder.]

I've never heard a typewriter make noises like this before....

[He looks up and notices the webcam.]

What the...?

[He stares into the camera until only a blurry eye can be seen.]

I think it's a camera lens.  Where's the rest of it? 

[His confidence falters.]

...I think it's a camera lens...  

[But he quickly regains it.]

It looks like the camera lens in father's book.  Sort of.

[He stares at the screen.]

But what's this???

I don' think we've met before. I'm Firo Prochainezo, who're you?

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

[hat-and-dagger.livejournal.com]

Box?! I ain't a box I'm a person!

Ah, but it's nice ta meet'cha, Asano. Need any help wid anythin'? Don' want'cha gettin' in trouble.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Are you trapped in the box?

I don't think you can help me in that box. I'm okay, I'm waiting for my father.

[hat-and-dagger.livejournal.com]

Uhh, no. I'm actually somewhere else, lookin' at anotha' box like da one you got. Ya see dat camera thing? I got onna dose too, an' dat's how ya see me. Da one you have lets me see you.

An'... I'm sorry, kid, but ya fadda' probably isn't here.

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Well kid you know we're going to have to have some rules here. But don't worry your big brother Jason will look after you.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Why does this stupid box keep talking to me?!

Hey, you're new.

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's talking to you cause that's what it does.

I'm not really new. I live in the same place you're staying.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Stupid weird boxes.

Ah! Are you the one with the cool guns??? They're really neat!

And how come I can't see you in the room? Are you invisible?

[reallyiscrazy.livejournal.com]

Yeah kid, I'm invisible.

*a loud sigh then a yell from the other room*

I'm in the other room.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

You weren't there before...

[He blinks at the child on the screen]

Is that... Daken-san?

Hello. My name is Hisagi Shuuhei, pleased to meet you.

What's your name?

[He might as well get a proper introduction in as he suspected child!Daken wouldn't know who he is]

Re: [Video]

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Ah! The box is talking again!

Hello Hisagi-san. My name is Asano Akihiro. Pleased to meet you too.

Do you know where my father is? He's Asano Akihira of Sendai.

Ah sorry I didn't mean to make you jump or anything. This computer is very odd.

Is it alright if I call you Akihiro-kun?

I'm afraid I don't... [Should he tell Daken... Akihiro that he wasn't human. He tried to recall some of the stories about shinigami that humans had]

The trouble is we're not in Japan anymore.

Re: [Video]

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

The typewritercamera thing is weird.

That's fine.

Where are we? The American in the box said something similar.

Re: [Video]

[not-yet-seated.livejournal.com]

[He laughs softly] Yeah it is, it takes some getting used to.

It's a place called Isola di Sorte, Akihiro-kun.

There's lots of people from different places and different times.

Re: [Video]

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

You seem used to it, Hisagi-san.

I've never heard of it. And I thought I knew everywhere.

But why are we here?

[herr-edgeworth.livejournal.com]

Hi. My name is Miles. And it's a computer. Don't they have computers at your school?



I could teach you about it, if you want. They're pretty easy once you know what it does.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

They don't have computers where I'm from. Just typewriters and cameras.



If you stare at it long enough, different people come in it to talk to, right?

[herr-edgeworth.livejournal.com]

Sort of. You have telephones where you're from, right? Think of a computer like a telephone with picture. My computer is talking to your computer, and that's how you see me right now.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Where's the rotary?

[herr-edgeworth.livejournal.com]

No no, it's not exactly like a telephone. It's just a way for us to talk together without being together, like a telephone.

[mongreldog.livejournal.com]

Oh. Don't talk down to me I don't know what it is!
