[video] [voice - Japanese]

[baka_jyanai]

-The video is having a lot of trouble focusing, but some people might pick up the transmission as coming from Mariner High. The camera darts about, the owner taking in everything in a hurry. What's more, was who the transmission was coming from at all... Finally, she speaks in Japanese.-

WHY IS EVERYTHING DIFFERENT?!

[I'm not really sure if Brooke understands Japanese or not, but for the sake of argument, I'm going to say he does, but his question would be the same either way.]

... I'm sorry, could you run that by me again?

IT'S ALL DIFFERENT! WHERE'S KANTAROU AND HARUKA?!

[tapdancinskelly]

Umm... who are they? ... On second thought, who are you?

[Video] 1/AND HERE WE GO

[then_there_were_none]

[After Marisa had appeared, flipping through the communicator channels had suddenly seemed like an excellent idea and Flandre had been much more vigilant about it.

...but after a few days, her sudden interest waned a bit.

So it's a little while before Flandre's daily channel surfing--]

[Video] 2/?

[then_there_were_none]

[--she knew that voice.


She knew it. She knew who it was. What her name was.]

[Video] 3/5

[then_there_were_none]

[--but was it really?

She hadn't been very afraid of the city in a...very long time. The last time Flandre saw Cirno, she was--


...and she hadn't heard her voice in so long, it seemed. Even though she knew it wasn't just a year, or more, and--]

[then_there_were_none]

[...maybe this was a trick, to make her afraid again.

All that elation swelling in her chest turned...complicated. It made her smile, yes, but also grind her teeth and twist her hands on themselves.]

[Video] 5/5

[then_there_were_none]

[But Cirno sounded...almost afraid. Or not quite but close enough that her mind made the jump from one to the other and it made her pinch her eyes closed for a moment and--]

Cirno? Is that you? Are you there?

[Please don't say you're a ghost. Flandre's voice is small and plaintive enough as it is.]

...please say you're still there.

[Here and gone, here and gone...like her dreams had been.]

[baka_jyanai]

Flandre!

What happened!? Why is it all different now?!

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Because you're in a different world?

[He assumes that's what she meant. No clue that she's been in Fortuna before.]

[baka_jyanai]

EXCUSE YOU UGLY I've been here before!

[fierybluebird]

When? And if that's the case, feel free not to get Japan's map program to help you get around.

[stardustreverie]

[Now there's a voice Marisa would never forget. Not after the last fight they had. She looks slightly amused as she looks into the camera.]

Well...that's because this isn't Gensokyo ze.

1/2

[baka_jyanai]

Shows what you know, black-white, I know this isn't Gensokyo!

[baka_jyanai]

WHY ARE YOU HERE?!

[stardustreverie]

Because some Scientists thought it'd be a good idea ta bring me along for the ride.

[It just occurs to her that she was told Cirno had been there before. Oops. She ends up laughing it.]

Well then I guess for you it's Welcome back and hope ya have a nice stay ze. Watch that first step as well!

[The last part is pure sarcasm but she's smiling at the camera.

[Voice]

[crowsong]

[Have a very deep voice, that's also rather quiet, in response.]

ここは別の世界から。
英語を話せますか

[That's because this is a different world.
Can you speak English?]

[baka_jyanai]

I KNOW WHERE I AM! WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?

[Voice]

[crowsong]

あっ初めてじゃない

[Ah, so it isn't the first time.]

[He'll switch to English, then, assuming that if she's been here before, she had gotten used to it enough to understand it when it's spoken, if not speak it herself.]

You really are noisy...

Different how?

[video; Japanese]

[bauhinia]

Whoa, we're receiving you loud and clear here, thanks.

[baka_jyanai]

Then answer the question!

[Video]

[totallygay]

[Blink Blink]

What's different?

[baka_jyanai]

Everything's different! How many times do I gotta say that?!

[loyal_cube]

T-There was a flood recently...

[Wait. That voice sounds awefully familiar.]

Ah, are you looking for something?

[baka_jyanai]

It's you...

So not everyone but Flandre is gone.
