[1st Soul] // [video/action]
[Maka understands perfectly what she just read. She made sure to read it over and over again at varying speeds to take it all in, like a good student would.
It's just difficult for her to accept. The strange and mystical feeling of the world doesn't sit well with her, can she be certain she didn't just drop into the Witch world inexplicably? Well...maybe the Witches wouldn't be unkind to her, now that they've made peace anyway. But she doesn't feel comfortable without Soul around.
So when the video turns on, there's a teenage girl seeming totally marveled by the level of technology just the communicator shows. ...Then she realizes it's turned on and clears her throat.]
Hello. Maka Albarn, Demon Scythe Meister here...where is Death City? Or Ki--I mean Lord Death?
[That's still so weird for her, Kid's the new Lord Death? Wild.]
...And what's a--?
[Love potion, the word she was going for was love potion, but a shout interrupts her and another person appears on the screen. This time it's a boy with golden eyes and curious white stripes encircling his black hair. He might have been running but doesn't seem out of breath as he checks over Maka with a fussing worry that only someone really obsessive would have.]
Maka, are you all right? Have you seen Soul anywhere? I can't find Liz and Patti myself--oh, your pigtails are crooked!
[The boy immediately gets to work with untying and fixing the girl's pigtails while she stares at him. Finally she sighs, leaving Kid to his grooming (he's only doing it because he's worried and needs something to work on), and shifts her gaze to the camera.]
If anybody from the Academy could report in, we'd appreciate it.
[If anybody comes across them anywhere, Maka will still be sitting patiently, waiting for Kid to finish the fixing. Kid on the meanwhile will be piling questions on her about who what where and why.]
((ooc: Replies may come from both Maka and Kid!))

[Really, she's the one asking questions, she didn't expect to be asked any herself.]
A city that's small but big at the same time...cluttered architecture, old in some places and new in others...very hilly--it's practically built on top of itself. It's out in the desert, too, but Lord Death kept the atmosphere very comfortable with his soul. The Academy is the biggest building of all, you can usually see it right at the top of the city--big candles and a giant skull on it.

He was able to keep it calm with his soul? Did he have powerful spiritual pressure?
video;
[Maka please.]
He had a really big soul, big and powerful. He could manipulate his wavelength however he wanted, although...I never got to see him doing that, since he was using it to keep Asura inside a seal.
video;
[what a feat!]
video;
He did so out of necessity; the one he contained threatened to plunge the entire world into madness.
video;
...What a heavy burden to bear.

[Oh hey shinis, don't mind the human peering over, a little more interested than before.]
Really? Gosh, I never would have thought I'd meet a reaper besides Kid and Lord Death and--[she stops there. No, Asura does not count, she said so herself to Kid, don't ever forget that Maka.] Aaand now you're here! [Smooth save.]
video;
It is a pleasant surprise. I would enjoy learning more about a reaper from another world, myself.
[Because that is the case, isn't it? He'd know if she were from his father's--no, his domain. He doesn't know how, just that something in him simply knows this is the case, a fact as irrefutable as the law of gravity.]
video;
I would like to know as well. I wonder if we share the same tasks even.
video;
[Yes, he is amenable to this idea.]
When it pleases you, I'd be interested in hearing about your role and responsibilities in the world you come from.
