[It didn't take much effort for Ami to figure out how to use the device she found. Honestly, it took more effort to come up with something to say once she realized that she had turned on the video function. In fact, the moment she saw that it was recording, she switched it off so she could think through what exactly she wanted to say. She turns the

[This would be Usagi staring right into the video screen, face written with shock. She barely dares to believe it.]

[She needs you, Ami, so much. She's already quickly pulling on a coat that looks like it's seen better days. She's going to be running.]

[3/???]

[buntails]

[She's missed Ami so much. She's missed everyone from home, and everyone who's been here and left - like Ami has twice - makes the hole open even wider. She's never been anything without them. Even if she can stand on her own, she'll never be her best without them.]

Ami-chan!! [She finally speaks, and her voice is all but fratic.]

Where are you? Press that button on the side! It'll show me your coordinates. [When did Usagi ever learn to use tracking technology?]

I'll come to you right away! Just stay there! Please! I'll explain everything, all of it. I promise!

This is called Adstringendum and we were brought here and- I'll tell you everything! Just let me come see you!

[Of course she knows Ami will be relieved to see her too; but she's not thinking too clearly right now.]

[ ... oh, Ami.]

I don't think your blood type is going to be of any use here, Ami.

[But Rei sounds amused -- and definitely pleasantly surprised. A certain sense of relief.]

[Ami blushes, and blinks a few times.]

Y...you don't think so? [Holds her chin in thought.]

I suppose it needn't come up unless there were a medical emergency...?

[thelonegenin]

Uh-- Are you supposed to tell people stuff about ya when ya get here?

[aquaticbeauty]

[Ami looks up in thought.]

Well, perhaps not too much, but I imagine it may be necessary for identification purposes. Like when there's an earthquake or other natural disaster.

[thelonegenin]

... There was an earthquake?

[aquaticbeauty]

I can't be sure. It certainly seems like it.

[bestestfurrend]

But I thought all human blood was the same!!

[aquaticbeauty]

[Ami giggles.]

Actually, not is not entirely the case. Human beings are all given a specific blood type, which is classified based on the type of antigens found on the surface of your red blood cells. It's inherited by one's parents, and can be one of any thirty different types.

[Oh no, you got her started.]

It is necessary to know one's blood type in situations that call for blood transfusion, as some blood types are incompatible with other blood types.

[bestestfurrend]

Ohhhh so it all depends on humans' purrents? But thirty kinds is a lot! It's still all the same colour, right? But I suppaws it makes sense that you can't mix it, I don't think mixing troll blood would go furry well either...

[aquaticbeauty]

[What an odd speech pattern.]

Yes, it is all the same color.

[holdnovirtue]

Miss Mizuno... There wasn't an earthquake. At least, not at all recently.

Welcome to Adstringendum.

[aquaticbeauty]

[Blink blink.]

Thank you.

[Pause.]

....as in "compression" adstringendum?

[Video]

[holdnovirtue]

A fitting name for this city, I'm sure you'll find.

Has anyone explained the situation to you?

[Video]

[aquaticbeauty]

Not entirely, no. [Isn't it obvious from the perplexed expression on her face.]

It sounds like you have a pretty good grasp of things, or am I assuming incorrectly?
