second gear ; voice + action

[Hello, Luceti! Have another accidental recording over the journal network. This time, you'll hear is two similarly shrill voices arguing over each other. A peek at the camera reveals something leafy and green...]

Somethin' wrong with your ears, buddy? I already said I'd rather race off a cliff before I'd eat one of those!!

But don't you want to be big and strong like your friend, little girl?

Uh, no? AI's don't grow up to be anything, genius. [DRAMATIC EYEROLL] Also, I don't care what you say, that stuff's nasty.

But it's good for you!

Gross is what it is! Leave me alone!!

[The camera then shifts around, only to show a flurry of pixels flickering in place! When that clears, the setting is clearly different (outdoors this time!) and a nine year old's face is peering into the journal.]

So some kid with a stupid name keeps tryin' to poison me, guys. What do I do?

[Heh heh. He threw his elf away.]

Hurry back!

- Ooh, or maybe I can come find ya, 'case you need help!

voice;

[tomodachi]

Who said I needed--[Oh right, duh, he just agreed to letting her "help" out, try to keep up Crow.] Fine, you can if you want--it'd save me the trouble of havin' to track you down after I find this elf anyway.

voice;

[sugarglitch]

Awesome! [He can't see her, but she's doing a jumpy, skippy thing of excitement!]

So, where you at?

voice;

[tomodachi]

[Uh...] The roof of some house by the river...well, for now, anyway.

[He'll be hopping down from this roof here in a minute to go back to the trash can where he left the elf at. Also he sucks at giving good directions.]

voice;

[sugarglitch]

Yeah, because that's helpful. [She rolls her eyes, not that he can see!] C'mon, how'm I supposed to find ya?

voice;

[tomodachi]

But surely you're smart enough to figure it out on your own, aren't ya? [But fine, okay, he'll try to be a little less vague. There's a whoosh sound in the background as he jumps across to the roof of another nearby building, still holding the journal open to talk.] We're somewhere over by where those stores and stuff is now.

[Our house is nearly right behind one of the shops here in the plaza, so it doesn't take very long for us to get to this part of the area.]
