[click, here's Joshua's voice, sounding suspiciously neutral, if not a little bemused.] My, isn't this troubling. It seems I've found myself in another strange situation.

[Now he sounds a little more serious] A good deal of questions but not many answers.

[Have a short hum before he taps the communicator, tone neutral again. Actually he sounds

Comments

[aimforthesun]

I agree. They really do need more variety~

[notating]

It's the least they can do for all this trouble.

[aimforthesun]

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

[notating]

I suppose we can't expect much from kidnappers, agreeable or not.

[driedfisheyes]

[...pink?]

As far as I'm aware, they exist in more colours than just white.

[notating]

[The color of love and warmth of course. Very Joshua.

And now he just sounds vaguely bemused.]

Do they? My, you do seem well informed. Let me guess, your color is... blue?

[driedfisheyes]

[Hnh.]

A dark blue, yes. I'm guessing that you're a recent arrival?

[notating]

[hee hee] The color of heaven and truth. how deep.

Am I that obvious? What about you, Blue, how long have you been here?

[ioweyousteak]

You're seriously asking about these things having colors?

[notating]

Should I be repeating the questions everyone else has already asked?

[ioweyousteak]

Guess not but it's still a weird thing to ask assuming you just got here.

[notating]

Is it? It's a weird thing you noticed. You're not a very trustful person, are you?

... You ping'd Klavier's rockstar side mentioning fashion.

[guiltyguitar]

Achtung! Now that's what I'VE been wondering! Moreover, if we can get these tattoos in a different design... that would be great. If they have to tattoo us, why not pick something... I don't know, more fitting?

[ Yes, Klavier. That is, by far, the most concerning thing. ]

And I'm sure someone would be willing to trade SFCs with you... the one I found in my pocket was silver, which actually doesn't look too bad. Perhaps find someone else to trade with you? As far as I've seen, the phones appear to be the same model for all of us.

These are the important questions, reqally. Klavier gets it.

[notating]

Tattoo? [his is sort of right on the center of his collar bone, can't see it damnit.]

[have a sigh] Perhaps. Really, white isn't my color at all. Why they choose it is completely beyond me. After all this trouble too, some people have no consideration.

Of course he gets it. Looks are srs business.

[guiltyguitar]

Ja, a tattoo. From the testimony I've gotten, everyone here has one: same color, same design, different places... no use crying over spilled ink, though, you know?

[ A minor pause. ] One can hardly blame the locals for their poor color choices. They have no sense of actual fashion that I've ever seen, and I've been to quite a few out of the way places before studying legal systems...

At the very least, it seems most of the things from home are the same here. Instruments, for example.

Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. 1/2

[notating]

Interesting, any reason for these marks other than some strange form of branding?

[pineapplepsych]

You know, I was telling everyone else how lame these starfish phone things are just the other week.

I am so glad someone else agrees. But I don't think color alone will safe these things.

[notating]

The design itself is rather inefficient. I prefer the simple, minimalist approach rather than this particular quirky shape.

[have a chuckle/snicker] But really, can beggars be choosers? Or prisoners for that matter.

[pineapplepsych]

I have to agree. I've really been missing my iPhone. I can't even send text messages or play any games on this thing!

[sigh] I've tried to find the people who made it, but no luck so far.

[notating]

Is that so? Tell me, do you have any of your belongings besides the clothes on your back?

[and a little more serious in tone.] The townspeople are certainly unhelpful in that matter. Perhaps it's this 'high priestess?'
