[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...

Japan. He's like family to me. He's my friend, too!

[fatherdear]

[This face forever] ... Japan's a country.

[naicha]

Kurogane's right. [ this face forever?? ]

[fatherdear]

How can a whole country be your friend? [Unless you mean it in some sappy sparkly princess kind of way]

Re: audio

[naicha]

I'm a country! And countries can be friends with other countries if they wanted to, you know!

audio

[fatherdear]

... You're a country.

fuck it we both know they're on audio i'm on an ipad right now ok

[naicha]

Yes! Right below Japan. Did you know that came to visit me one time? We had lots of fun!

<3333

[fatherdear]

[She sounds honest so he's just confused...] You royalty or a spirit or what?

[naicha]

A spirit! But the kind you can see! [ no stop making it more confusing ]

[fatherdear]

[He remembers Sakura having a whole conversation with a tornado once. He just rolls with it at this point.] Hn.

[naicha]

[ Yeah that world was kind of trippy. ] Every country's got a spirit like me. Like, for Japan, he's like, the spirit of the Japanese people! Or something.

[fatherdear]

... What's he like? [Curious.]

[naicha]

Well! He's smart and kind and funny and smart and kind...

[fatherdear]

I get it, kid.

[naicha]

So you should really meet him when you get the chance! I wonder if you're a samurai? Or a ninja? He hasn't seen those in a while!

[fatherdear]

I'm a ninja. [Kind of.]

[naicha]

Ooh! That sounds pretty cool. [ giggle ] Your companions sound peculiar though... [ like what are a couple of kids plus a mage doing with a ninja what ]

[fatherdear]

[Having adventures and learning the true meaning of friendship what the fuck else]

Have you heard of anyone that sounds like that? [Thinks they'd have responded by now if they were here but maybe they're just... busy...]

[naicha]

Sorry, but I haven't! I'll look out for them, though. [ except she'll never be able to meet Sakura WHOOPS ] What are their names?

[fatherdear]

[Names... People use those sometimes, don't they...] Sakura, Syaoran and Fay. [Assuming Mokona would be with one of them and doesn't want to go into describing her again...]

[naicha]

I haven't heard or seen anyone like them... But I'll let you know when I've found them, okay?
