001 - Video

[The image shows up slightly tilted, and focused rather interestingly on Judith’s well-endowed chest. She has her clothes on, thankfully, but those still don’t leave terribly much to the imagination. The image spins dizzyingly, as if the person holding it suddenly turned the device around, then lands back on approximately the same image.]

Strange. I can’t tell if it’s doing anything.

[A slight sigh can be heard.]

If someone left this here for me, it would have been nice for them to tell me how to use it.

[The image shifts again, finally catching part of her face, though at an odd angle. She looks a little frustrated, but more puzzled than anything else. After apparently staring at the screen for a moment, she looks away and tilts the device again, leaving the camera pointing at the ceiling this time.]

It doesn’t even look like it’s a blastia...

[Those clothes, that voice... THOSE BOOBS! It has to be...]

...Judith?

[Oh! That voice sounds familiar.]

Estelle?

[And that came from this device, didn't it? Aha, there. Look, now you can see Judith's face, too! She smiles.]

Oh, there you are.

[And Estelle smiles upon seeing her face, giving her a slight wave through the device. Now is not the time to be jealous of Judith's lovely chest.]

Did you just arrive? Where are you?

I'm not sure I know.

[She glances around.]

There's a fountain nearby. Does that help?

[firstaid]

Yes, it does. I know exactly where you are at. Would you like me to come get you and bring you to our house?

[Because she totally assumes that Judith will be living with them. It's only natural, right?]

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[Whoa-- no way. He recognizes that chest. And that voice.]

Better late than never, right, Judy?

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

[Oh hi! Familiar faces are a nice thing.]

Yuri, you're here too?

[A very slight pause.]

What do you mean, "late"?

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Yeah- have been for the past few years, actually. And the last time I saw you was almost that long ago.

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

Years? But the last time I saw you was--

[Clearly something very odd is going on here.]

Maybe this place is even stranger than I thought...

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

Basically? We're in a different world here and nothing's going to make sense, but that's the hand we've been dealt.

[ironmanic.livejournal.com]

Wow- you going to start every video like that from now on?

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

Hm? Like what?

[She totally doesn't realize what that video looked like.]

[ironmanic.livejournal.com]

Hold on. I actually can't tell if you're being serious or coy.

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

[A small smile.]

I have that effect sometimes. [Then a bit more seriously.] But in this case, I'm really not sure what you're talking about.

[ironmanic.livejournal.com]

Your-

[He motions to his own chest then raises his eyebrows at her.]

Judith!

[Someone Rita hasn't seen in a long time! And totally didn't miss or anything. /tsun.]

Of course that thing's not a blastia. It's a communication device.

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

I've noticed. [She smiles.] I've just never seen anything like it before.

video;

[blastiafreak]

That's because this is a totally different world. And this means you don't remember being here before...

video;

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

[Now that's a curious thing for her to say.] Should I remember?

video;

[blastiafreak]

No, it's pretty normal. [For this place, anyway, Rita thinks with a sigh.] People come and go and lose their memories all the time. I think it's been a year or two since I saw you here.

A what?

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

Huh?

Oh, a blastia? You've never heard of them? [She can't imagine, but maybe wherever he's from is different...]

[signatures]

Not at all. Something related to technology?

[lovelydragoon.livejournal.com]

You could say that. They're used for all sorts of things where I'm from.

Such as?
