[bergkatze]

[The video feed flickers on and off for a bit with static before eventually finding a stable connection. The first image that appears is that of a pair of brightly colored lips. Huh? Yeah, lips.]

Meh, talk about a Chinatown knock off! The stupid thing doesn't even work. [There's more bitching and complaining to be had but that's besides the point here. Seems that Miss Sexy Lips ( or is it a guy? The voice sounds masculine enough but the face--) has no idea they're on the air~]

Oh well! It's a decent mirror~! [Says the one fluffying up their hair and applying more lipstick. Katze may or may not stolen a few makeup stuff from a store nearby. Life of crime here we come!]

Aren't you looking dashing today, hon! OMG! I'm so glad my hair grew back in~

[*preeeeens*]

Fucking Hajime and her dumbass scissors! I swear I should return a favor.

[*bitchy-bitch-BITCH!* The redhead is grumbling.]

Eh, huh? What the fuck is this red light?

[None of you can see their eyes but they're staring into the screen curiously from beneath those long magenta bangs.]

...Uh oh.

[imaginationswoes]

That's very pretty lipstick.

[Airy smiles nervously into the video.]

I guess you didn't know that you were recording?

Re: Video

[bergkatze]

[Just when Katze was about to click this glorified smartphone off, someone flings a compliment his way.

So instead of turning it off, the magenta alien peers into the screen again and grins.]

Oh~! Someone who has an eye for quality makeup.

[He grins into the camera and laughs.]

You look like you could use a touch up or two. Red or pink?

[Katze pulls up two lipsticks, one bright cherry red one and the other is bubblegum pink.]

Video

[imaginationswoes]

Ah.. the pink is cute.

[She doesn't know if she can pull of red though it might be fun to try. Airy wears make-up from time to time but it's always light applications.]

Red looks more... [She bites her lower lip.]

I don't have a word for it. I like it though, I don't know if it'd suit me.

Re: Video

[bergkatze]

Oh~! Good choice.

[Something told him she would pick pink.]

Sometimes playing it safe is best. Not everyone can wear red, right? Though, how would you know what you can wear unless you try it?

[-Smiiiirks-]

I'll tell you what, I'll give you both shades on the house just in case you do wanna try something different.

Video

[imaginationswoes]

Ah, but those are yours aren't they? I couldn't...

[She doesn't want to take his things from him.]

I mean I'm honored... happy but they're yours.

[Airy doesn't want him to think she's ungrateful. They're really pretty but then she also doesn't know that they are stolen.]

Video

[despairing_hope]

The light indicated recording. I would say that's a clear indication it's working correctly. Even if it's a bit awkward for everyone else watching.

Re: Video

[bergkatze]

Oi! You being sarcastic, blondie?!

[-Hiss, hiss, hiss!- Well, someone took that helpful bit of advice the wrong way.

Katze is huffy now cause he feels awfully silly.]

Video

[despairing_hope]

Sarcastic? Not at all. I thought maybe you would like to know.

[Even if the stranger wasn't particularly happy with his remarks, that was okay.]

But, if I've offended you, I'm sorry.

[He didn't sound it, but he only sounded cheerful the whole time.]

Re: Video

[bergkatze]

You're a little too chipper for ya own good then.

[Katze sucks his teeth in true bratty bitch manner.

Just what's up with "Blondie" over there? The kid kinda reminds him of someone he doesn't like but Katze refrains from being a total ass for now.]

If ya wanna be useful, tell me how the hell I get outta here, asap!

Video

[despairing_hope]

Am I? It's been a pretty decent day today.

[He tilted his head a bit considering the question.]

I don't think there's a way. People mentioned bringing a peice of home here, but there doesn't seem to be any deliberate way to return.

Of course, you could just hope that you're lucky and the powers that be that brought you here send you back quickly.

video

[creativedifferences]

Awww, you went and got my hopes up there for a second, throwing out familiar-sounding names and all.

[Granted it took all of two words to clear up that they probably hadn't meant her Hajime but even so.

But leave it to Ibuki not to stay upset for long.]

Ah but don't worry! The red light isn't dangerous...as far as I can tell...not like the sort of red light that means OMGIT'SGONNAEXPLODE!

Re: video

[bergkatze]

Eeh? You have a 'Hajime' too~? I hope yours isn't half as annoying as mine!

[That certainly seems to be a popular name, no? Katze officially claims to hate Hajime every second of the day but that really isn't the case.

Hell, he...he doesn't know what to think of her.

AH, FEELINGS! NOOOOO! Hajime?! Ah! Did she die? Did she? Cue in a mini panic attack here from Berg Katze who's frozen in his morbid thoughts for a hot min.]

Ugh, wut? [He spaces out for a good minute or two.] Oh, if this was a bomb I would just chuck it somewhere with lots of people.

[creativedifferences]

Crap! Did Ibuki break you?

[That's really not what she was aiming for and it's enough that she thinks better of saying anything more about any Hajime.

Not that the rest is any better.]

Ehe...don't most people with bombs do the exact opposite of that?

[bergkatze]

Broken, battered, and beaten but I'm totally okay!

[Ahaha! He's not but whatever.]

Meh? What's the fun in that though? Oh fine! I would toss it away from people~

[creativedifferences]

Phew! For a moment there I thought we were going to have to call the medics!

[Though at this rate, she's starting to think, that'd only put them at risk.

But maybe he's joking? He could be joking, if he turns things around so readily.]

Ha! Almost thought we had an emergency there. Explosions and people definitely shouldn't mix.

[sizedoesntmatter]

I guess you must be new and didn't know the red light meant it was recording.

[Which would be understandable if this kind of thing was not what one was use to.]

Re: video;

[bergkatze]

[Holy the fuck shit, dude.

Katze takes one look at this kid's head and laughs. Like full blown head tossed back crying laughter. He laughs so hard that he nearly drops the phone several times in between wheezing.

Katze has no friggin idea what to say to this kid.]

OMG! You got the WILDEST hair I ever seen!!

video;

[sizedoesntmatter]

[If this had been the first time, Yugi's reaction would be different. But he had gotten use to people reacting to the hair. It was nothing new.]

I get that often... But Is there anything you need or want to know?

Video/Action

[02crusnikabel]

[Abel peered at his device through his glasses. Have a lost, wandering priest who got lost for the umpteenth time because he couldn't find his communal temporary home for the last few days.]

Eh? China...town? Is that where we are?

Action

[bergkatze]

Huh! Nani??

[Katze pauses for a moment when some freak in a priest outfit suddenly rolls up on him. He stares up at the man looking completely confused.]

Hey! Announce yourself before running up on unsuspecting victims you freaky pervert!

[-hiss hiss-]

[02crusnikabel]

[Great, you got the dork priest even more confused! How is this came about?]

Huh? Wait, what?! I'm not a pervert! What are you talking about? I was just asking for directions!

[Whelp!]

[bergkatze]

DO YOU NORMALLY SNEAK UP BEHIND UNSUSPECTING GIRLS AND BOYS, CREEPER?

[Katze let's out a huff as he climbs off the park bench. He accidentally knocks some of his lipsticks down onto the ground as he does. The alien has a ton of fancy makeup on him but not a single bag insight.

Maybe the creepy alien stole it all. Certainly seems that way.]

What are you? Space force?! Intergalactic and Planetary?! You a cop?

video

[xuwu]

[ "Chinatown"? He's unfamiliar with that term; China is a country after all (and he comes from a time so far before things like Chinatowns started to appear all over the world. ]

Although I don't know what you have found that is not working, China recently has been quite good at creating silk and weapons, I have noticed.

Re: video

[bergkatze]

Eh, eh?! We're not talkin' about silks and weaponry here!

[He huffs a little as he peers into the screen. His eyes might be completely concealed under his bangs but Confucius here can probably feel his gaze nonetheless.]

Talking about technology! China always make cheap knock off brands of products hailing from overseas.

video

[xuwu]

I am aware that we are not.

[ He tilts his head curiously. ]

Now this is news to this Bei Dou. As far as I was aware the Chinese pride themselves in their craft, but perhaps it is only those of the olden days that do such?
