[video]

[the video feed comes in dim and flickering, like the camera is snapping on and off or being covered by someone... turning... pages? The sound of rustling paper certainly indicates the latter.

There are glimpses of an elaborate ceiling high above in the gloom, domed and painted bright colours, perhaps a palace or a temple. Closer to the 'camera' is the face of a young woman with grey eyes and long ash brown hair, tied back in a ponytail. It definitely isn't Takiko, but the post seems to be coming from Takiko's journal...?

The young woman is frowning, her expression becoming more and more suspicious as she continues to flip through pages. She doesn't seem to care that the front of her sleeping robe is gaping open, revealing boobs and a heavy swath of bandages running diagonally across her chest and a — mark? tattoo? — of the Japanese symbol for 'woman', 女, just below her collarbone. Enjoy the show, ducks.

She's downright scowling by the time she reaches the end of the entries, muttering a quick curse and an 'Idiot girl' as she looks away and slams the book closed]

[handwritten]

Oi, where is all of this coming from? Just who are you, and what are you saying to Takiko?

[the entry comes only minutes after the video feed, and handwriting is rough and angular, not at all like Takiko's usual elegant hand]

Comments

I can still have the Regular Virus going, right? Also, video

[alldevouringabomination]

[Man! What is with the last couple of days?! It has been mostly non-stop fighting for poor old Kirby here.

Big, mean, dishes, pots, cutlery, and even stoves are attacking Kirby at this point, and even though he currently has the power of Water it is clear that he is just about had it with these constant, seemingly pointless attacks.

How's that for an introduction?]

[video] No reason why not!

[windofchange]

[to be honest it's just more confusing than anything. It just being video is weird enough, and Rimudo is frowning at it as the 'camera' comes back on on her end]

Now it's making moving... pictures...?

[what the hell even is that thing, is that a Celestial Warrior power or what]

Yay!

[alldevouringabomination]

[Welcome to the sufficiently advanced magic that is technology! You get to witness this Celestial Star Warrior send his ceramic and glass foes into things that are very hard and heavy with sudden movement of Water.

Like the time with Jak, Water Kirby is too busy fighting to respond just yet.]

[voice]

[scanningutterly]

And who are you?

[voice]

[windofchange]

[and now it's talking?]

I asked first.

[voice]

[scanningutterly]

And I'm in a position where I don't need to ask.

[Voice]

[of_many_treasures]

[Trolling mode engage! Kaitou pitches his voice deep to Batman levels.]

I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the unpaid parking ticket, on your pristine drivers record. I am Darkwing Duck!

[voice]

[windofchange]

[different voice this time— so it's definitely more than one person who's been communicating with Takiko through this.

...though at least one of them's an idiot]

You seriously think a duck's going to scare anyone off?

[and what the hell is a parking ticket]

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

You have no appreciation for the theatrics kid.

[material_guy]

Keep it back open like it was before, it's a lot easier to talk that way than doing the writing thing.

[Video]

[windofchange]

Sorry if I'm not exactly used to magic books.

[but it seems she did indeed revert to whatever she was doing before, as the video feed comes back on. She's still frowning, and... boobs are still out. welp.]

[Video]

[material_guy]

[Welp indeed.]

You'll learn. Might wanna work on findin' your own, though. You're using hers, right?

[selfished]

[ Kyouko doesn't bother with writing - with the way she has grown up, she's honestly not great with it at all - so she just replies through voice instead. ]

Depends on what story you'd believe! Maybe we're aliens, or maybe we're gods? [ She laughs. ]

voice;

[windofchange]

[fortunately she's getting the hang of this 'talking to books' thing by now]

Or maybe you're just a bunch of cowards hiding out for fun. How about answering my second question?

[selfished]

.. Uh, I really dunno 'bout that question.. [ She sounds pretty casual, and after a moment of rummaging there's the sound of chewing. Apparently she's just eating while she's talking. ]

Who's this Takiko s'posed to be?

video;

[fairyofwind]

We're all from different places if that's what you're asking.

video;

[windofchange]

Like where? Hong-Nan? You don't look Qu-Dong.

[that pink thing she was talking to earlier, tho...]

video;

[fairyofwind]

No. I'm from Tokyo. In Japan.

[moonspell]

Do you know Miss Takiko?

handwritten;

[windofchange]

I asked first.

handwritten;

[moonspell]

I do know her, we are on friendly terms. My name is Dr. Lydia Carlton.

handwritten;

[lifeisbrief]

I'm sorry if Uruki is a bit rude, Miss Lydia.

handwritten;

[moonspell]

It's quite alright! She's hardly rude compared to many of the people I speak with here.

[ Edgar? RUDE. Nico? RUDE. Raven? ..Well, he's rude sometimes but he doesn't know any better or mean it rudely. Along with a few other rude people...

Her life is full of rude people, alright. ]

[actionspam!]

[lifeisbrief]

[Where did you get to now, Uruki?

Now that she is more appropriately clothed (as in, clothed at all), Takiko is going to be proactive about keeping track of you.]

[windofchange]

[you're probably going to have mixed feelings about finding him in your room, huh

It sure isn't difficult to find him, not with him responding to all the voice posts. It's a wonder the others haven't investigated yet]
