Live from 1943 - Video

[lightning_strike]

What in the world is this?

[Perrine pokes the screen a couple of times, frowning at it.] This isn't the radar. This is well beyond anything I've seen before...

[Reading more, she seemed to be twisting dials and poking things. The exterior is a very dated room, someone might recognize as being from 1944 in a military base. Still, she keeps fiddling with the machine and trying to get it to work.]

Why is it showing me this thing about ducks? What is this? [And she pokes it again a few times.]

Welcome to the community. You must be new.

[Will ease her into this.]

[lightning_strike]

Yeep! The radar is talking to me!

... wait, wait that's silly. I must be imagining things...

[makewayforroze]

I'm talking to you through it but I'm a real person.

My name is Roze. It's nice to meet you.

[lightning_strike]

Er... hello. [This was getting weird.]

I'm Perrine H Cloistermann. A pleasure then.

[makewayforroze]

Has anyone told you very much about the community?

[miraclefighter]

Mii. We're a ducky community, nice to meet you newest recruit!

[lightning_strike]

A... ducky community? [The surrealness of this situation was starting to get to Perrine.]

How is it that you are showing up on the radar?

[miraclefighter]

Yes, a ducky community. You're a duck, I'm a duck... we're all fellow duckies here, that is so.

Well, your radar tuned into the community.

[lightning_strike]

I... see. [A little confused but she'll go with it.]

So if we try to use the radar again it'll show the community?

[miraclefighter]

Ping pong! That is correct~

[oceanicbutterfly]

...haven't I seen you before?

[lightning_strike]

I hmm... [Weird she got the funny feeling she might have seen Karen before too.] Quite possibly...

[oceanicbutterfly]

[It's too bad they never actually met during the virus or Karen would probably actually recognize her.]

Hm. Well, you've ended up somewhere strange. This is the first I've heard of radar being involved.

[lightning_strike]

[It really is. Otherwise this would have been so easy.]

I'm on radar duty today, or otherwise I would have missed it by now. People are saying this is some kind of community?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Yes. What do you know about computers? The answer will affect how I explain this.

[unknownrival]

I've heard of it showing up on books, but a radar is new.

Still, welcome.

[lightning_strike]

If it showed up in a book, I'd be more inclined to be surprised about it. At least this is electronic.

And who might you be? [Said with a little haughtiness but this IS Perrine after all.]

[unknownrival]

Issei Ryudo. I'm a monk in charge of Ryudoji Temple, in Fuyuki City, Japan.

[lightning_strike]

...? Japan? Where is that?

[In her world, it's known as the Fuso Empire.]

[unknownrival]

It's a country made up of islands, in Asia. On Earth.

[heavenlyhome]

It's not about ducks, exactly. Hello, miss. Welcome to Drama Drama Duck! It's a community where people to talk to one another.

[lightning_strike]

Oh uh, hello there. I've been getting the discussion a lot but I guess it really does connect to a lot of places, doesn't it?

[heavenlyhome]

It connects to many, many different places, yes. You might say everyone home has something special about it. My name is Kasumi. It's nice to meet you, ...?

[lightning_strike]

Perrine H Cloistermann. You may call me Perrine if you wish. I suppose military titles are not useful on this community.

[At least Perine was being a little open for once. The weirdness was getting to her.]

Home hmm...

[heavenlyhome]

I will address you in a way that is suitable, of course, if you prefer your titles.
