Ezio?! Ezio! Signore Machiavelli? Mario?

[A man’s voice, light and warm but so very confused, broadcasts with an abrupt crackle of static. Then, there is a noticeable pause, followed by a heavy cough and the scrape of debris.]

[As he expresses his surprise, a faint Italian accent hangs onto his every word:] Dio mio! (My God!) What a mess! Even my ( Read more... )

You eat apples. They don't carry you to other countries.

[Duh.]

[Perk! He looks about, seeing nothing but ruined buildings and a surprising lack of company. Well, assassinos were known for being pretty inconspicuous...]

Ezio? Come now, amico mio (my friend)! We are too old for these games!

[His voice wavers with uncertainty. Now, the device gets a nice view of a palm as he clutches it tightly.]

[Italian. He had a little Italian in him. He had a little of everything in him really. New York was pretty diverse and snatches of various languages hadn't been filtered out as useless when he consumed.

This man looked lie he belonged at... something. A Renaissance fair? In a play? While the virus struggles with his own lack of memory, he doesn't notice the stranger fumbling around.]

I'm not you're friend. Look at the device in your hand.

[He does just that. Leonardo is thoughtfully silent as he turns the communicator over, facing its screen towards himself, and-]

Oh! You are quite small. [And this stranger is most certainly not his friend. It's just one baffling development after another.] How does one fit in a box of this size? Most importantly, how am I to get you out?

Oh? Pardon me?

[Glancing around. Was that a child's voice?]

I hear you but do not see you.

Toy gets 806.

[There it is again! Most certainly a small child. Peering downwards, Leonardo discovers the voice's origins. Do they give these strange contraptions out to everyone?]

Ah, there you are. Now, you must tell me what you mean by that, bambina (little girl).

[Blinkblink. Apples can take you places?]

... This is Nesreca.

[Blinking as well. Where is that voice coming from?]

Ah-please, come again? I am afraid I did not catch that.

[Alma slows down the word, hoping that'll make it easier to understand.]

Nes-rec-ah.

Look down! At the golem in your hand! [SMILING for him~]

Golem? [Turning his palm up to show off the communicator's screen. JUST LOOK AT THAT SMILING FACE, GOSH.] Aha! So, that is what this thing is called! Ben trovato, bambino! (Well met, young man!) Now, as for Nes-rec-ah, it must be a popular location with all of these kind strangers. I have never been approached so often before!

[talking loudly to get the man's attention, but still managing to sound polite about it:] -Sir? Excuse me, sir! You have been brought elsewhere, but I'm afraid it isn't the work of-[ what is this apple you speak of. is it the name of a gang. whyever would a bunch of hooligans name themselves The Apple. ]-anything you're familiar with.

[White-haired kid doing his best to look plain and utterly harmless at you, Leo. His eyes are a bit rounded because... That's... Some outfit. Allen isn't all that familiar with the fine art of theatre, as his master's tastes in entertainment tended (still tends) towards the risqué, but you, sir, look like you just stepped out of a play.

Allen rather hopes you did.]

[Pausing as an unfamiliar voice reaches his ear.]

More voices! Could this day become any stranger?

[At least the Apple is well-mannered. He seems to take well to the polite tone and offers his side of the conversation... while speaking to a bent street lamp:] Where is it I've been taken? For what purpose? Now, what on earth is this thing?

You're in Russia, sir. [ Goodness, that accent. Whenever you're from, he hopes Italy is on fairly good terms with Russia. ] This world's version of it, anyway. We're all in a city-[ slight wince here. I know, I know, it's a dump. ]-called Nesreca, brought here for the entertainment of a spirit known as Libitina.

And that's-

-a street lamp! Unless you mean the device you're holding? [ Waving a little at the camera. Over here, Mister. ] It's a communicator, it lets you contact the rest of us.

[There's a man with a bemused expression on his face, brow raised and a cigarette in his hand.]

Good afternoon... I don't think your friend is here at the moment. I dare say though, you are a bit of a mess. You've paint on your forehead.

[Italiano? Why does he recognize it now? Hadn't he been speaking it the entire time? Ever so slowly, Leonardo is beginning to realize the Apple may not be completely at fault here.

It's with a little extra effort (how very strange!) that Leonardo responds in his native tongue:] O-Oh, good afternoon, Signore! [Sheepishly, he raises a hand to touch his beret.] You see, I had very little time to prepare beforehand. [His lips pucker thoughtfully.] And neither did Ezio. I wonder what spared him my fate?
