1 ≈ John: Be royally confounded. [video + action for Discedo]

[leavecagealone]

Uh.

[What's this? It appears a young face has cropped up on the communicator, a bucktoothed, somewhat disconcerted looking face. He jabs at the screen, raising an eyebrow and giving the device a little shake.] Gosh, is this thing even on? [He shrugs his shoulders, sighing, and decides to continue on regardless.] Hello, whoever is on the other side

[satellitemecha]

Ah, John? {He vaguely remembers you from months and months ago.}

[leavecagealone]

Whoa! [He looks a bit startled -- he wasn't expecting to get a response so fast.] Yeah, that's right! Wow, so this thing really does work, awesome.

[Not that he knows who the heck this is, but meeting strangers over dubious methods of communication is not something he's unused to.] Who are you?

[satellitemecha]

{Oh, you don't remember him. That's alright.}

I'm Yusei. {Smile.}

[leavecagealone]

[Not in the slightest. He grins back, though, waving at the camera.] Nice to meet you, Yusei! [Good thing he's pretty much used to weird names at this point.] Were you snatched up and taken here, too?

YEAHHHH JOHN <333

[crotchroses]

[VIDEO, heavily accented English, so, so sorry John.

France thinks this kid is kind of adorable in a stupid way, and as he, Francis, is everyone's brother, he might as well say hello.]

Bonjour! I-- [... oh this one doesn't seem too concerned over being--as he put it--poofed somewhere weird. That does make things easier.]

--Non, I'm afraid I haven't seen this friend of yours.

VwV <33

[leavecagealone]

[Believe it or not, being suddenly transported to different worlds ranks pretty low on John's list of shit to be worrying about.

He makes a face, trying to understand this foreigney gobbleygook he's hearing. What an accent! But just look at his face fall when he makes out what France is saying.] Oh...

Um, maybe you've seen a biiiiiiiig giant ball of black stuff in the sky? A big, grim, dark ball. Something very...grimdark.

Anything like that?

[crotchroses]

... Nothing except the clouds. Eh, and mass hallucinations, and a creepy fog that was something out of a terrible American horror film.

But those are gone now! [ C: ]

Ah but seriously, non I have not seen your friend.

[leavecagealone]

Hallucinations? Fog? That...doesn't sound good. [But he doesn't see any now, at least. He didn't need any more problems, ugh.]

Well, ok. [A sigh, and a shake of his head.] Could you tell me if you think you see her?

[action] I'M LAZY

[gomugomunowin]

[Oh look at that. A kid wandering around, looking confused.

Must be a newb.]

Oi, you knew here?

[action] PUNCHES

[leavecagealone]

[He turns around, immediately on guard, with his...rather colorful hammer drawn.

...but, phew, it isn't one of those weird monsters. He relaxes a lot, grinning wide and waving a greeting.] I guess so! Hey, have you seen a girl that looks like this? [He shoves the communicator in Luffy's face, showing off the picture he scribbled on it earlier.] Her name is Rose, I've been looking for her everywhere.

[action] GET OVER IT

[gomugomunowin]

[Is not fazed at all because HA! Hammers won't hurt him. SUCK IT, JOHN. He smiles back, and looks at the picture.]

Hn....nope, haven't seen her. She's probably not here.

[action] I REFUSE

[leavecagealone]

Oh... [Well, nuts. Look at his expression drop like a rock.] Well, thanks, I guess.

...where IS 'here', anyway?

[brotundbier]

I haven't seen anyone who looks like that in Discedo, and I don't forget a face.

[leavecagealone]

You're sure? [Just look at his crestfallen face.] She was just with me, though! Where the heck could she be?

[brotundbier]

((shakes his head at his expression.))

It's likely she's where you left her.

[leavecagealone]

--oh, geez! That means she is back at the castle all alone with Jack! [Whoever this Jack is, it doesn't seem to be good. At all. In fact, he seems mildly panicked.] I need to get back right away!

[ video ]

[reobserves]

[ okay, even Yukiteru can't help but chuckle slightly to himself when he sees that image. ]

Sorry, I haven't seen anyone like that around. Does she often talk about this, uh.. 'eldritch sillyspeak' though?

[ video ]

[leavecagealone]

She doesn't talk about it, she talks in it! Duh. It's all grimdark gobbleygook, and you cannot understand a word she says.

...well, she wasn't always like that, but she was when I was with her.

[ video ]

[reobserves]

A-ah, sorry, I hadn't heard of this.. grimdark gobbleygook before.. [ he already doesn't get it. ]

I think I would remember someone who spoke like that, though.

[ video ]

[leavecagealone]

Well, okay. [He looks a bit crestfallen, but he's been asking so many people that he's gotten a bit used to this answer.] Do you think if you could tell me if you see her at all?
