#004 [VOICE]

[crowsong]

They say that fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Seems like Fortuna's getting pretty crowded...

[As cold as his voice usually tends to be, he does sound mildly amused this time around.

He's never been fond of people and he always tries to keep to himself, but, he almost misses seeing so many people crowding the streets. Call it a nonsensical nostalgia and foolish sentimentality, but he likes seeing people out and about, even if he wants nothing to do with them personally. He misses the congested streets of Tokyo.

With the sudden influx of people arriving to Discedo, they just might serve him in the future as suitable prey.]

Comments

[anothershirtruined]

In my experience, the majority of people might be considered fools in that context.

[Voice]

[crowsong]

[A short, cold laugh.] Right on the money.

Re: [Voice]

[anothershirtruined]

I usually am.

[crueltytocommas]

Morning, Sir. [Carrot nods politely as he makes his way down the street.]

[Action, right? :3; ]

[crowsong]

[Gin pauses. Although his expression doesn't really reflect much of a change, he's certainly confused by the outdated dress.

He glances over his shoulder at Carrot, as the latter continues on his way.]

... guess we're getting all types.

[After vampires and blue-skinned... whatever those guys are, this man's appearance shouldn't surprise him much. This is fun.] Morning.

Action!

[crueltytocommas]

[Carrot stops and removes his helmet politely.]

Pleasant day, isn't it?

[Video]

[notamalfunction]

[Have a robot staring into the camera with fascination.]

Ooooh, more input?

[Voice]

[crowsong]

A robot.

[He's been talking to cats and... rabbit-cat hybrids, why not a robot?]

Better not take what I said too literally. There's no such thing as angels, after all, but the world's full of fools. This place is called Fortuna. It's a planet, different from mine, or so I've been told. The place I'm staying at is called Dissimulo... hey, got a map of this place? I'll send you one.

Re: [Voice]

[notamalfunction]

Planet. World. Earth. [He tilts his head.] Rock floating in space.

Location not recognized. More input?

[notnice]

Fools, Angels, they're all the same.

[crowsong]

From where I see it, the first are the only ones who'd believe in the second.

[notnice]

Never trust in what a fool believes.

[lovedramamoron]

[Shinichi stops at the sound of that voice. That... Wasn't that the voice of one of the two suspicious men he'd just been following? He moves over to the shadow of a building and tries to listen further.]

[Action]

[crowsong]

[This is just too easy. Gin can always tell when he's being followed... this was still far less crowded than the places he's been accustomed to. Just like a nosy, inexperienced little detective...

He'll act like he hasn't noticed, partaking in idle chit-chat on his communicator. Nothing suspicious to see here...]

Re: [Action]

[lovedramamoron]

[He flattens himself against the wall as he listens. Could this person have anything to do with his sudden transport here?]

[Action]

[sweetstrongpaladienne]

[After her little adventure in Discedo, this woman is walking around the area holding an open music box as it plays a small tune. Notice her?]

[Action]

[crowsong]

[He does notice, of course. Normally, he'd let something like this pass him by, but he feels compelled to stop walking aimlessly around and watch. He won't say a thing, content to merely watch.]

[Action]

[sweetstrongpaladienne]

[And she stops for a moment. Without turning around, she speaks up.]

...who's there?

[video]

[moosechangerpat]

[The video feed clicks on to reveal... a staff... on a leather couch... talking to its laptop... yup.]

It's likely going to be a lot more crowded soon.

[Voice]

[crowsong]

... [Not believing he might be speaking to a sentient staff, Gin assumes the less damaging to his perception of reality and decides the speaker is off-screen.]

If you'd rather not show your face, you could just switch to audio only, you know.

[Voice]

[moosechangerpat]

... but I was revealing my face... and I don't speak very well when I can't see, or be seen by the one I'm talking to. My psychic powers aren't as potent that way you see. Buuuut, since you seem to be obsessed with not revealing your face, I guess I'll let it slide.

[scarletandsherry]

[Okay. Maybe Shiho should just.

Pull the hood over her hair and walk in the other direction. Yes.]

[Action; eeeeee!]

[crowsong]

[Oh no, she won't.

He'll catch a glimpse of that hair from the corner of his eye. It's too familiar for him to miss.

Without warning, he'll reach out and unceremoniously catch hold of her arm.]

Leaving so soon? [She might not see it, unless she turns back, but he's got an ice cold grin a mile wide.] You only just got here...

[action]

[carrythesin]

[Oh look, some random kid holding a familiar gun. She looks a little lost.]

[action]

[crowsong]

[Not more children! Gin's inclined to turn, leave, and pretend he never saw her, but that is a familiar gun.

The kid looks pretty familiar too.

Knowing what happened with Enil, he puts two and two together and, against his better judgement, approaches her.]

Hey.
