I ✘ ＭＵＳＩＣ【Accidental Video】

[deviantstray]

[Hello Genessia. Have you had enough new comers? No? Well take two more because the feed clicks on randomly to show part of what looks like the side of a pod and a figure sitting up, though the face is cut off.]

A-Amu? Just why are you...?

[The voice is clearly a man's as he stops mid-sentence realizing that they're not even anywhere he knows. This definitely wasn't a plane, but at least his violin case with the Dumpty Key was still inside the pod and untouched by the water.]

I'm not sure what's going on, but are you okay?

[Unlike his normal teasing that he does towards Amu, he seems serious about it.

Wait! What is going on?! Why is she in a dark place like this and why is Ikuto here too?! More importantly why is he asking that and being all serious -- Wow, hello viewers. The video sure is accidentally brought to you by a girl, who is freaking out and flailing a lot right now! At least she seems to have her Humpty Lock and Chara bag with her, not that she can even notice them herself right now.]

Okay?! I-Is that seriously the first thing you're asking after waking up in a strange place like this!?

[And this other voice sounds like a young girl. To answer the question? Yes, she is okay - well, physically at least.]

Wh-What's going on? [Even if he just said, that he doesn't know!] Is this some new plan by Easter? How did they even do this?!

[The moment she mentioned Easter, he couldn't help but give her a strange look. What was she going on about? Of course he's concerned about where he woke up and if Yoru wandered off somewhere, but she's always been his first priority. Attempting to stand up and reach over to her to calm her down now.]

Calm down, would you? Easter has nothing to do with this... At least they shouldn't. If you keep getting worked up like this, you're going to fall in.

[Calm down? How is she supposed to calm down!?! Maybe it's too dark for her to calm down, or maybe everyone aren't cool like Ikuto about being kidnapped or something. Once he stands up, her first thought is that he's going to just walk away like cats sometimes do, so him reaching out to her comes as a surprise. Amu is not good with all these surprises... if she's ever good with surprises. She's really not thinking here at all and for some reason her reaction is trying to push him away with both hands like why are you even coming here?!]

I'M CALM!!

[No, she's definitely not calm at all but at least she's avoiding the falling in. So far. That was fine and dandy for her, but now he was soaking wet and clearly unamused. At least he didn't have his violin case strapped to his back at the moment. If anything happened to that violin he'd be a lot more mad than he was now.]

Ugh... You call that calm? A bath is the last thing I needed right now...

[It looks like she was about to say something more when the feed randomly cuts off.

OOC: This is a joint post for Amu & Ikuto, so both will be answering tags.]

Comments

[myheartunlock]

[... Okay, now she feels bad for making Ikuto fall in, but it's not like Miss Cool & Spicy is going to let it show. At all. Instead she's just acting like she usually does, or in fact as her outer self usually does.]

Well, the last thing I needed right now was kidnapping. I don't know how far that's in your priorities if even a bath is worse, but now you just sound like a giant cat.

[She's calmer at least, so that's one good thing about him falling in, right?]

[deviantstray]

Yeah well, I never said I was okay with a kidnapping, now did I? I had important things to do before arriving here you know...

[Like finding his dad... but she's showing her Cool & Spicy side again... He won't question it for now, though. Standing up in the water, he went to grab his Violin Case carefully over his head and the other stuff he woke up with apparently.

Without another word, he started out of The Bay to go to solid land.]

Yoru? Where did you go?

[Not that Yoru doing his own thing was new, but he could use his shugo chara right about now... Finally glancing back to Amu.]

Well, no good standing around. Let's get going. [He paused for a moment before a slight grin appeared on his face] Unless you need me to come and carry you out like a princess, your highness.

[And just to tease her a bit, he even did a sweeping bow that clearly showed he was messing with her.]

[myheartunlock]

[True, it's not like he says that kidnapping is okay... She gives him a suspicious look though.]

Important things, huh?

[Important things like what? Amu had been just moving Utau and Sanjo to their new place, finding out that Kairi would be moving away too. Nothing really big or important there, but considering recent events, a little break had been good but this was not what she had in mind for it!

Amu frowns. Yoru being somewhere else feels weird. Maybe she should check her bag too... But what if it's empty too and the four aren't there?]

Maybe he woke up before us and went somewhere to find... something.

[Food, anything. It's not like she's trying to convince herself and Ikuto, that Yoru is just around the corner or something, nope! Or that she's worried at all, nope!

But well, getting going is actually a good idea. They should find out more about this situation somehow and so she's getting up from there too, collecting the stuff she doesn't even own but they seem to be there for her since Ikuto has those too. Okay, ready to go... Right at the moment when Ikuto starts that teasing.

... and Amu is about to lose it again. Why is he even doing that?! Nope, totally keeping a cool head here this time. She huffs loudly, looking away from him.]

Who'd need that? I can walk just fine on my own, weirdo....

[So he can keep acting / teasing all he wants, but Amu? Walking away from him to get somewhere, anywhere where this situation might start making some sense. At least she hopes to find a place like that. Those magazine stands there might be a good place to start. Or she could see what things she has with her, but she can also do that after she gets there, right?]

[deviantstray]

[It's not like she hasn't put up a cool front in front of him and everyone else before because he's well aware of her alter ego. It was just they way she handled herself right now... And she mentioned Easter... but Easter was taken care of.... Maybe he was over thinking it, but it was oddly reminiscent of their first meeting and that worried him a little.

She seemed a bit more distant, but was that really new? Hell, it was pretty normal to be honest, but it just... It didn't seem right. Still, he's telling himself not to over think things for the time being. They needed to find out where they were or what was going on. Maybe Easter did have a hand in this, but if that was the case he was going to be extremely pissed off after everything that happened. And to drag Amu into this too...]

Genessia.... [Spoken after he'd strapped the violin case to his back per usual and looked at the pamphlet.] I've never heard of a place like that...

[Though he had teased her moments before, the look on his face now was definitely serious and a lot more focused before glancing to Amu briefly.]

Yo, kid. [Yep, he can tease her even when he's being serious.] Would you happen to know anything about this place? Maybe the Kiddy King told you something?

[myheartunlock]

[Genessia? Amu tries to think if she's ever heard that name before, but no.

... Does he have to tease her all the time? So annoying.]

I'm not a kid! [That's not even true.] I mean I have a name, you know. [And she looks even more annoyed by the name for Tadase.]

If he knows something, he hasn't told any of us but I don't think he'd keep that to himself. So no, I don't know anything about this. Seems more like something, that Easter would know about and maybe you could have heard from Utau...

[Maybe accidentally activating the video by Weiss gives some answers because Amu walks close enough to that stand for it to start rolling.]

[zeo]

Don't mean to interrupt, but you're broadcasting.

video;

[deviantstray]

[Looking down to the phone like communicator after hearing that. At least he's out of the water, but still looks very wet.]

Oh, I wasn't aware that we accidentally called someone.

[At the very least, he was a bit more familiar to the communicator than a good share of people here.]

video;

[zeo]

It's a network. You have to filter something to someone directly in order for it to be for their eyes only. I'm afraid everyone's who happens to be looking at the network's seeing this.

video;

[myheartunlock]

[Well, she doesn't even notice this before she's gone through all the basics... And she's actually really freaking out inside her head, but as if she's going to let it show any more than that. Why did people have to see her on that video, ugh? Nope, not good for her cool and spicy reputation. At all. Not that she even has that reputation here, but she has no idea how to even let go of it, so...

Amu huffs. She can do this acting like she's totally cool, calm and collected, at least that's what she's trying to do.]

Ah, yeah. I guess we accidentally did that.

[... and she really hopes they accidentally called just this one person but the word broadcasting sounds kind of scary for that theory.]

video;

[zeo]

Don't worry about it. [ katherine smiles sympathetically at the screen. ] It happens to the best of us. These devices have a mind of their own at times.

video;

[myheartunlock]

[She can't stop worrying about it, but she's not going to admit it! Wow, Amu sure wishes she could smile that easily to people.]

A mind of their own? Literally? [Just what kind of place is this?] Well, I think he should just keep his things away from me. [Yes, blaming Ikuto's device for that post and back to cold tone in her voice after that confusion.]

video;

[zeo]

[ sometimes she honestly wonders if they actually do, but her suspicions aren't anything to worry this poor newcomer with. ]

It's an expression. They're glitchy and don't always do what you want them to. Not the most high tech item around.

[ especially considering the stuff she's seen in nova city, some of which is beyond even her and her exposure to advanced alien technology. ]

I wouldn't recommend going without it until you've gotten used to the layout of the place. It's easy to get lost, and better to have a way of contacting someone for assistance.

video;

[lycoctonum]

[She stares at the feed for a long while.]

You didn't mean to send this out, did you?

video;

[deviantstray]

[So it seems that it wasn't just to one person.. Well, not that it's a big deal but...]

Not really, no.

video;

[lycoctonum]

[She tilts her head.]

This place is pretty weird... I'd keep an eye out.

video;

[deviantstray]

Does it happen often?

[Because if it does, he's going to be annoyed by the possibility...]

video;

[lycoctonum]

Don't know. I just arrived myself.

[At least he had people he knew here...]

It smells weird.

video;

[myheartunlock]

[... she's really starting to freak out inside her head. Showing panic in front of everyone is not a thing she's ready to do, why this? A-Acting like it's not a big deal at all even though it really is for her!]

Who would mean to send out something like that?

video;

[lycoctonum]

I don't know.

video;

[myheartunlock]

Right... Well I think he should just keep his stuff away from me and these wouldn't happen.

[ not that she likes blaming ikuto for it but it seems to be from his phone, so... ]

video;

[lycoctonum]

He...seems weird.

[And ignorant of almost recent events.]

action

[guardianjack]

[It wasn't long after these two when Kukai woke up in one of the pods as well. While he was very, very confused, his attention was completely turned to the voices he heard from further away... and the splash.

Ooookay. So he was somewhere weird and he wasn't alone. That was reassuring and even more confusing. If this was a mass kidnapping, why this group of people? And why was Amu acting somehow nostalgic?

Well. He wouldn't get any answers by sitting there, so he decided to approach the two instead.]

So, what are you guys even doing?

action

[deviantstray]

[Turning to see who was talking to them, wasn't that one of Amu's friends?]

Apparently the same old same old. [Because the two of them bicker sort of like this all the time.] So this place has the knack of bringing kids here....

action | adjksljlk trying short phone tags again

[myheartunlock]

[She turns to look too as soon as she hears the voice. Huh? ...]

Makes me kind of wonder if even more of us are here... [Really, what is this madness?]

action | you're silly

[guardianjack]

I've only seen you two so far... then again, I just woke up.

[Daichi was still sleeping inside Kukai's pocket, in his own egg. Surely he'd wake up soon enough even without Kukai bothering him...]

Though why'd you bring up Easter all of a sudden?
