†† 001 [Audio]

[fatherdear]

[After a substantial amount of panic, shouting and demanding to know where his friends are, Kurogane has finally given up on finding them in the palace and turned to this strange bracelet. He manages to get the audio feature working, vaguely remembering how telephones and stuff like that worked in Hanshin and Piffle.]

Oi. [His tone is tense and he obviously has to force himself to keep calm. This is not a happy man.] I need someone to tell me how the hell I get back to where I was and who's responsible for this shit. [Another interference from that guy? It doesn't look like it but who the hell else...] I don't have time for this crap.

Kid, manjuu... Mage... If you guys are here, let me know now. [He sounds more and more stressed as he goes on.] If anyone's seen a kid with brown hair carrying a girl or a guy with blond hair and an eyepatch, say so. [Pauses for a moment, tense.] If this thing even fucking works! [Kurogane growls and tries to turn the communicator off, quickly getting frustrated and just slamming his fist against the wall, with an audible crash.]

I only let go for one fucking second, damnit...

I lied 2/2

[fatherdear]

[Wait that voice...]

... Princess?

ohgod this is so late

[kinomoeto]

Oh, but you were asking for a manjuu so I thought . . .

[ so confused rn. ]

Princess?

Don't worry about it!

[fatherdear]

... What's your name?

[kinomoeto]

Ah -- uhm, it's Sakura. Sakura Kinomoto. [ a hesitant pause. ] It's nice to meet you.

[fatherdear]

[... A different one. Why does it always take him so long to notice that stuff? She even sounds younger.]

Hn. Kurogane.

[kinomoeto]

[ that's -- a very japanese name lol. ]

Kurogane-san. [ uhmmm. ] Are you looking for a princess too?

[fatherdear]

[Picked out by an angsty fourteen year old boy, as you would guess.]

... Don't think she's here.

[kinomoeto]

Is that so? [ a pause. ] Does that mean you're all by yourself then?

[fatherdear]

[Little sigh.] Guess so.

[kinomoeto]

I guess it's hard being all alone in a place you don't know. I don't think I'd be able to do anything if Syaoran-kun weren't around.

[ fret fret. ]

But -- uhm, I think your princess is safe and sound right now. And she might be brought in here too since the gods really seem to need a lot of help. You might not be alone for too long.

[fatherdear]

That kid's here too? [Kurogane, you are terrible at this.]

... She's not my princess. Have to wait and see if she shows up before I get out.

1/2

[kinomoeto]

That kid?

[ man, you're looking for a lot of people. but wait!! ]

[kinomoeto]

-- Get out? Do you know how?

[fatherdear]

... Not yet. [The one flaw in his otherwise fool proof plan.]

[kinomoeto]

[ oh.

she was hoping you knew how. ]

Well, uhm, if you do find out, can you tell me how? I'll try my best to look for a way to get out too.

[fatherdear]

Sure thing, pri- ... Hn. I will.

[kinomoeto]

[ bowing -- oh wait. he can't see her.

brb tinkering with her bracelet to shift to video. ]

Thank you very much, Kurogane-san.

[fatherdear]

[Fiddles with the bracelet a bit to make it turn onto video as well. Sakura gets a dark, scary ninja glaring intensely at her.

She really is the same... tiny adorable daughter ;A;]

Hn.
