[The communicator clicks on with a burst of static and a grumble. The video feed is running, and it appears to be a view from underneath a bed. A man is grumbling in a low, implacable European accent.]

That did not work the way I had planned.

[Oh. Maybe it's a frog muttering in that.... rather attractive voice. A mildly annoyed green figure

[...GEEEEEEEEE

NAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN.

Oh man, he is so glad to see you--Hear you. Know you're...there and stuff!

His biffle returns!]

It--it's not useless. It--it--i-it broadcasts to--t-to the rest of the ship!

[C'mon, answer your comm you silly prince!]

[He blinks and hops back over to the communicator and after much fumbling, clicks it back on.]

And it talks, too!

[He chuckles to himself, a sound low and happy in his throat, thinking of Tiana and the frog hunters.]

All right, strange little box-thing, what else do you do?

[Audio]

[havea_heart]

I-i-it takes video and still pictures. You can--can also use it to send text, but, uhm. I--I-I dunno how easy that'd be with--with your current set of--of hands.

[Wait, what-- never mind. Something else has caught Naveen's attention.]

How do you know about my hands?

[What are video and how do it work. Naveen doesn't realize his image has been recorded.]

[royalguarantee]

[After some fumbling with the communicator:]

Tiana! I hear you. You are in the box. With the other man.

[HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU IN THE BOX WITH THE OTHER MAN, TIANA]

We have to get to the Mardi Gras parade, how did we get here?

[Waaaaait a second, he thinks he knows that voice.]

... Speak up.

[royalguarantee]

Aha! It appears someone appreciates a magnificent voice when they hear it! Very well! I will speak much louder!

[Did he do it right, tiny box of many voices?]

Audio

[heavyweaponsbot]

[Yep. No mistaking that voice now.]

... Naveen?

[royalguarantee]

It is good to know that my reputation proceeds me across worlds, I like that very much!

[He's still sort of not entirely believing Herz that he's been here before.]

[Kobato hasn't really figured out how the phone thing works just yet so she's surprised when the screen turns on and the feed starts.

That was a frog. A talking frog and he seems to be having quite a lot of trouble with the phone thing. More than her anyway. Maybe she can help?]

Hello. Frog-san?

Are you alright?

Audio: English

[royalguarantee]

Ah, yes, miss, I am entirely okay! I am just... trying to learn my, ah, situation, to some extent. You understand, yes?

Re: Audio: English

[dovewithadream]

If your sure...

Do you need any help?

Audio: English

[royalguarantee]

Can you provide me with any information about this place? That would help me a great deal!

[text BECAUSE HE DOESN'T THINK YOU'LL UNDERSTAND JAPANESE]

[initforthebento]

[....wtf talking frog]

...Did you figure out how to work it?

[Audio]

[royalguarantee]

Achidanza, the box writes, too? Yes, little writing box, I understand your mysteries!

[TEXT]

[initforthebento]

[he cannot understand your words Naveen D:]

I don't understand.

[Audio]

[royalguarantee]

Ah, my apologies, but I do not know how to make you understand.

[And that would require effort.]
