[betrayedblade]

[Silence and a starry sky. Then faint footsteps, so soft almost not even perceptible. The device is picked up; there's a flash of white; and then something blots out the camera--something brown and leathery.]

'Utilizza questo.' Che cosa è questo?

Non capisco cosa sta succedendo. Che cosa è successo? ...Che cosa è successo a Firenze? No. Non Firenze ... questo non è Firenze. Dove...?

Dove mi trovo?

Sicuramente i bastardi Templari non avrebbero potuto fare questo a me. Che cosa sta succedendo qui? Che cosa avrebbe potuto fare questo? Che cosa avrebbe potuto mi ha portato qui a mia insaputa?

[There is a long, long pause before the leather creaks and in the process compresses against the lens--a hand's grip tightening briefly--and then the very, very faint footfalls again. They stop after a good while and one last stern sentence reaches the recording device before there is complete silence. Accented.]

Show yourself.




[["'Use this.' What is this? I do not understand what is going on. What happened? ...What happened to Florence? No. Not Florence...this is not Florence. Where...? Where am I? Surely the Templar bastards could not have done this to me. What is going on here? What could have done this? What could have brought me here without my knowledge?]]

[Italian. Huh.]

Can you read this?

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[there is a pause before he attempts typing a reply, not realizing his voice was picked up the entire time]

Yes. I can.

[witchoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Very good.

[Perhaps a different approach this time]

This may sound ridiculous, but before you arrived here, what year was it?

[text]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

1476

[Well then. Even before her mistress]

As you may have guessed, you've been taken to this place by unknown forces. Many others have been taken here including myself.

Note that this object allows you and I to send messages over a long distance nearly instantly.

[locketdangle.livejournal.com]

This is Discedo.

[ voice - italian ]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[muttered too softly to be picked up clearly enough to make out--the rest is said calmly, by a person very much in control of his reactions]

'Discedo'? I have never heard of a city named 'Discedo'. What country...?

[ voice - italian ]

[locketdangle.livejournal.com]

It's probably not in your world. This is the planet of Fortuna and Discedo is a city of that world.

[ voice - italian ]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[Have a long pause before a careful reply is made.]

There is neither such place in all the known lands. Are you a native to this place, stranger?

[ voice - italian ]

[locketdangle.livejournal.com]

No. We were all brought here by a group of scientists.

It doesn't exist in my world either. You are not in the galaxy you knew.

*The clip is activated as Altair looks towards the screen, he had gotten dimly used to the machine*
Here we have yet another man fall under the curse of this city.

Welcome to the city of Discedo.

[Audio - English] Fffft, wonderful. >D

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[there is hesitance before a reply is made; underneath the accent it is just barely notable that the voice sounds controlled.]

I don't believe in curses. I do believe bad luck has a way of creeping up on all at least once in their life.

You--you are from the Holy Lands. Aren't you. What is your name?

Re: [Audio - English] Fffft, wonderful. >D

[just-a-monk.livejournal.com]

*At first, the Eagle was hesitent to speak to the man, but somethingabout his voice, urged him to proceed.*

My name is Altair Ibn-La'Ahad.

*There was a dim silence*

May I know your name?

[Audio - English]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

[There is a quick intake of breath before a deep silence descends for a while. Then harshly:]

Accidenti a te per la tua bugia! What you tell me cannot be true, but only a lie! You can't be him. It isn't possible.

...That name...cannot be so common... can it?

Re: [Audio - English]

[just-a-monk.livejournal.com]

*The mans sudden and aggrevated tone caused Altair to restrain himself in silence for a good moment.*

...

*There was a sudden urge for him to speak again. He was cautious, but laid his words out properly*

I am by that name.

But why do you doubt this?

[voice; italian]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

This is Discedo.

[voice; italian]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

A place I have never heard of before now.

[voice; italian]

[carrythesin.livejournal.com]

No one has until they find themselves here.

[voice; italian]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

It stands in ruin like an ancient god's temple long since abandoned. It is no wonder no one has heard of it then.

[ voice; riku's native tongue + italian ]

[recreant]

The "this" is called a "communicator", used to access the network of the people who are trapped here, just like you.



[ OOC; This is what I mean by the title. It's confusing. ]

[ voice; italian ]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

The name makes sense with its purpose, that is clear. But I have no idea how to use it. It is a foreign object to me. I--could not even be sure that what little I am doing is being done correctly

[ voice; italian ] 1/2

[recreant]

You turned on the "voice" command. There should be a languages screen that allows you to turn all your default functions into --...

Okay, hold on.

[ video ]

[recreant]

There.

[ The camera adjusts slightly as Riku gestures to the aforementioned buttons. ]

You should be able to hit this and then scroll through the language options.

[voice ; italian ]

[betrayedblade.livejournal.com]

A wondrous device to be sure. I think I can understand enough languages to get by as long as my own voice is understood. But... I must ask, and you seem the most willing giovane , for which I am thankful... if it would be at all possible to be taught in person?

I have never come across anything similar to this in my own land, you see. Nothing.

[voice ; italian ]

[recreant]

[ And "flit" goes Riku off the screen". ]

In person, you mean? Uh, sure. It's a pretty big place. I can put you up in a room in Marshall, if you need a place to stay, too.
