Oh hey now what? Wow. I tell you what, *wow*. [Voice]

[bartok_bat]

Oh, hey, now what is this? It's like a radio with a screen on it, well would you believe it?

I can't see where Master is, and I'm certain I'm back in Limbo... His little doohickey busted and he turned to goop, but he had to go somewhere.

Master?

Maaaaster?

Are you here, sir?

...

Is anyone here, sir?

Hm, more fresh meat~

Welcome to Purgatorium, little servant.

[voice post]

[bartok_bat]

Well, I do hope you won't be eating me, sir! I'm too small to make more than a mouthful anyway.

"Purgatorium?" Like Purgatory? Limbo?

I wonder if Master is here, then. Maybe I missed him.

And I'm not a servant, I don't think! I'm a familiar, sir, or that's what Master called me anyways.

A familiar, speaking of familiar, this place isn't at all familiar. Not like Uncle Istvan. He was always a little too familiar with the ladies, if you get me, sir. He was certainly energetic, he was.

...What were we talking about?

[voice post]

[greediguts]

No, no, I don't need to eat, so you're quite safe from me~

Hmm, in a manner of speaking, yes. The living and the dead are here, mostly to repent for their sins.

Who is your Master?

And there's nothing wrong with familiarity with a few lovely young belles, my friend~

We were talking of you.

[voice post]

[bartok_bat]

Oh whew, that's good, sir. I don't think I'd enjoy being eaten very much anyway, sir.

Oh, I figured as much. Every time Master dies I get dragged along for the ride.

Master is Rasputin, of course. He was confidant to the Romanovs, you know, sir!

Oh, well, of course not, but Uncle Istvan had a taste for the taken ones, and it got him in a spot of trouble more than once. I remember when he--

Me? Me? Oh, all right then, sir, why not? I'm Bartok, a bat, as I guess you can see, since I seem to have this little icon of me next to my words and--

Is my rear really that big? I need to go on a diet or something, because wow. I tell you what, wow.

[zacked]

Who's 'Master'~?

[Voice]

[bartok_bat]

Huh? Oh, more words on the screen!

Well, sir, Master is Master, of course.

Everyone called him Rasputin, but that sounded mean, even if it was his name, so I just called him master and sir and tried to be the best friend to him I could, up until he started trying to kill Anastasia.

I left around then and somehow I ended up here back in Limbo!

You wouldn't have seen a busted doohickey and a pile of goop covered robes around here, would you, sir?

Re: [Voice]

[zacked]

... I can't say that I have, no. But I can keep a look out for them!

[Voice]

[bartok_bat]

Thank you, sir!

[burglar_cat]

Well now, what do we have here?

[voice post]

[bartok_bat]

I'm a bat, sir, if you please. Bartok, if you want a name!

You look like a pretty girl, from your picture. Red hair, too. Anastasia had red hair, pretty red hair, especially when she wore her pretty tiara with it. It was a really pretty tiara and I've always wondered what I'd look like with a tiara, but I always thought that sounded funny to say and I said it and it totally did and I'm just thinking "oh, no, sir, did I say that?"

Because I did, and now everyone's going to picture me in a tiara and no one's ever going to take me seriously again and--

[burglar_cat]

... did you eat a Devil Fruit, by chance?

You remind me of Chopper, a little. I like you.

[voice post]

[bartok_bat]

What's a Devil Fruit, sir?

And who's Chopper? Not that you liking isn't nice, sir.

I'm just curious, sir.

[extsviet_shelke]

First a cat, now a bat. This place just gets more interesting by the day.

[voice post]

[bartok_bat]

Well, sir, I am different than most other bats, I guess.

[extsviet_shelke]

Do you call everyone sir? I am a lady, you know~

And how is that, little guy?

[bartok_bat]

I call everybody sir, sir. It's a force of habit.

Well, sir, not many bats talk.

[verynicecurses]

Purgatory~

[voice post]

[bartok_bat]

Well, thank you, sir, even if I did figure out that part.

I'm Bartok, sir, a Russian white bat. What's your name, sir?

[verynicecurses]

Ah-
Nekozawa Umehito, a Japanese black mage~~~
Bartok, was it?
Удовольствие встретить вас, я уверен...

[voice post]

[bartok_bat]

Совершенно, господин! Настолько хорошо для того чтобы встретить другую персону говорит русского, господина, если я могу сказать так.

Я говорю вас что господину, ему всегда удовольствие поговорить как это, господина.

(("Absolutely, sir! So good to meet another person who speaks Russian, sir, if I may say so.

I tell you what sir, it's always a pleasure to talk like this, sir."))
