[zaaaaaaaaaaaaap. or whatever sound effect you imagine in your head]Geez, what was that for? Attention deprived, or something? I guess I can understand the ...needs of an inanimate device, but really. We've been a little preoccupied. You know, doing things. Mostly useful, but

I'm sorry!

[trilingualism]

What are you sorry for?

[wingsofvirtue]

I pressed something and I think it did something, but I don't know what. I didn't mean to hurt anyone!

[trilingualism]

Oh! [she laughs] It's not your fault, the communicators just shock people if you don't use them for awhile.

[wingsofvirtue]

That's awful! Why would they do that?

[trilingualism]

I think to encourage us to talk to each other. I guess it's not really that bad of an idea. Otherwise people like my brother would never say anything!

[wingsofvirtue]

But someone could get hurt from that. There must be a better way.

[trilingualism]

It's really just kind of annoying.

[wingsofvirtue]

Still, that's not very nice!

[trilingualism]

That's true, it's not.

[wingsofvirtue]

It didn't interrupt you during anything important, did it?

[trilingualism]

Oh no, not at all! In fact this is a great opportunity to get to know someone new! I'm Belgium, what's your name?

[wingsofvirtue]

That's true. I'm Colette. It's nice to meet you, Miss Belgium.

[trilingualism]

It's nice to meet you too, Colette! That's a beautiful name. It's French, but if you didn't recognize my name you probably aren't from my world.

But there's no need to be so formal!

[wingsofvirtue]

Hehe, thank you! My father named me.

What's French?

[trilingualism]

It means that it comes from the country of France! He's my neighbor.
