[desertification]

Hnn? [The voice is male, a deep baritone.]

Is this Den Den Mushi sick? [There are several distinct tapping noises, evenly spaced.]

How annoying.

Comments

[justforyou]

It might be but, uh, what's a Den Den Mushi?

[voice]

[desertification]

[So it's not so sick that he can't get replies. It's just that he's getting stupid replies from voices he doesn't recognize.]

You're using one.

[voice]

[justforyou]

No, I'm using my phone.

[voice]

[desertification]

Your what?

[what are means of long-distance communication that aren't telepathic snail based?]

[voice]

[justforyou]

My phone.

[What is this guy?]

[voice]

[desertification]

What is a "phone" supposed to be?

And who is this?

[voice]

[justforyou]

It's this thing you use to call people?

[heavenlyhome]

Oh, no, something is sick? If you're in need, I'm sure someone would be able to heal your friend.

[desertification]

Who is this?

[heavenlyhome]

My name is Tendou Kasumi, sir. I don't believe we've met.

[desertification]

We haven't. [Assured.]

How did you get this Den Den Mushi? [And irritated.]

[heavenlyhome]

I do not have a Den Den Mushi. If it is not your friend, then... might it be your phone?

[desertification]

[Through the multiple conversations, he's piecing this together.]

Something like that.

[sandinmyboots]

Hi. Do you need an explanation of what is going on?

yesss

[desertification]

Are you offering?

[sandinmyboots]

Indeed I am!

Before I begin, do you know what a telephone, an internet or a computer is?

[desertification]

[He suspects there's a catch somewhere in all this, but...]

Never heard of them.

[sandinmyboots]

Ok, that makes things a bit trickier, but I can manage.

This is a magical...thing called Drama Drama Duck. This thing is capable of connecting many worlds from parallel dimensions via those things mentioned above, which are technologies common on the world known as Earth. There are many versions of Earth and most people here are from it. If you can let me know about what formats the thing you're communicating with is capable of using, I can try and send you information on Earth and these technologies.

This thing, Drama Drama Duck, wants you to interact with these other people from other worlds and will interrupt you at the worst times in order to make you do that, or it will record your most private moments. It's also capable of causing strange and temporary changes to reality, which we call 'viruses' for reasons I have no idea of.

However, it will also allow you to visit other worlds and take things from them, and it can alter the very flow of fate!

[desertification]

[On the "wants yo to interact" part, he hangs up.

And it keeps going.

This...is not going to put him in a good mood.]

So what are these...[the words come slowly, and from someone obviously annoyed] internet and computer?

[makewayforroze]

I'm sorry? Den Den Mushi sick?

[desertification]

[Another one?]

Den Den Mushi are animals. [That you use as phones, cameras, ect. Naturally.]

You're also part of this "Dramadramaduck"?

[makewayforroze]

Animals? Oh, I haven't heard of them before.

[She then smiles and nods.] But yes, I am. Are you new?

[desertification]

It seems like it.

[makewayforroze]

I'm Roze Thomas, it's nice to meet you.

[desertification]

Hnn.

Have you been part of this long, Miss Thomas?
