1st Bullet ⊗ Voice

[The audio becomes live just in time for a single word to be heard]

Fascinating...

[A few more random clicks here and there before the actions cease. It's quiet save for the ambience coming from around the speaker. Their voice suddenly cuts through, whispering first.]

It certainly appears to be on... Greetings. Upon arrival to this place, I

They won't even give me back an earring. [ Alto said with a sigh. ] But they burned my uniform.

[pishirogane]

They withhold something that small?

[Hm... she checks her ears. Her own have been taken too. Annoyed huff.]

[todistantskies]

Small and sentimental. At least it wasn't thrown in the fire. [ Though he doesn't sound hopeful. ] I don't appreciate Sir Koga taunting me with it as a reward for good behavior, but that's the kind of place this is.

[pishirogane]

Hm... What is considered 'good behavior'?

[todistantskies]

Doing your job, not making a big fuss, obeying curfews, things like that. [ Things Alto has trouble with. ] I'm on house arrest because I didn't go along with some stupid plan I wasn't even fully informed of in the first place.

[pishirogane]

... We have a curfew? And what was the plan?

[todistantskies]

That part's probably just for me. [ Punishing dissent and all that.

He murmurs the next part. ] It was an... auction.

[pishirogane]

An... auction?

[What??]

[todistantskies]

[ Grumbling. Why did he even mention it? ] It's one of the traditions for certain new entertainers... Of course, if he'd mentioned all the details in the first place, I never would've agreed, but I had to back out at the last minute. [ More like he did something stupid and no longer qualified. ]

[pishirogane]

How did you back out?

[todistantskies]

I just... did, okay? The details aren't important. [ Translation: they're personal. ] Pissed him off pretty badly when I did it, so now I can't leave Hibu for any reason.

[pishirogane]

[Details are always important. She could probably get this male to talk, but they're in the same house and she can bother him later... maybe]

... Very well; we'll move on. What time is curfew?

[todistantskies]

[ It's highly likely they'll run into each other at some point. Not like he's going anywhere. ]

Sundown, for me. They wanted to make sure I was used to a schedule for evening "engagements".

[pishirogane]

[Caged up... ah...]

I see...

[todistantskies]

Sorry. [ And he genuinely sounds like it. ] There's pretty much no upside to this, either.

Well. Maybe. [ He's still undecided. ] You asked about people from home being here, too, right? [ Making sure, first, that he understood right. ]

(OOC: It's alright. Having the same problem)

It seems that way... [Never would she enjoyed being caged in.]

Yes, I did.
