jerk? stop talking about yourself.

What do you mean, it doesn't work? You honestly want me to believe we were brought here by magic but can't make a simple phone call? [ Hmm. It doesn't take too long to figure out Oreki is probably an average guy. He shakes his head. ] Forget it. It's probably an outdated model anyway.

Jackson Whittemore. Beacon Hills, California. ...And, no, I could care less about the Hollywood sign.

=P!

[conservationist]

If we were brought here by magic, to a fantasy world with wizard spires instead of cell towers, why would you expect phones would work? [That argument would carry a lot more weight if they weren't in an old-fashioned train station, with a TV droning on in Spanish about the weather in the background.]

... though, it is an outdated model. [From his perspective.]

Houtarou Oreki. From Kamiyama, Gifu, Japan. Nice to meet you. [Kind of?]

[lycanthnope]

I don't know. It's called magic for a reason. If this ass-backwards place has wifi, why not a cell signal?

[ the weather, the tv says, is cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

he laughs - a hollow, this-shit's-too-unbelievable-to-be-funny sort of laugh - and shakes his head. ]

You know what, let's pretend I never asked.

[conservationist]

Let's.

I guess you're a relatively new arrival like me?

no more cold feet about apping let's do this if you're still up for it!

[lycanthnope]

[ Hey, don't brush it off so quickly! Even if he told you to. That's basically admitting he was wrong and you're not allowed to do that until you've maxed out your social link. ]

Relatively new kidnap victim, you mean. Or did you actually ask to get dragged here?

[ pot, meet kettle. ]

[conservationist]

[But he wants to brush it off. Because he doesn't want to argue with him about something neither of the two of them understand at all.]

I've been told... by a fairy, whatever that's worth... that I agreed to it in a dream.


So, yes, kidnap victim.

[lycanthnope]

[ What's the matter? Get picked on too much at school? Didn't make the mathletes this year? Despite his curiosity and his immediate instinct to mock, he really ought to keep his mouth shut. Because he'd been told the same thing.

Because he'd asked for a whole lot more than just faeries once.

(He tries not to think about what happened. Some days, it's easy to forget. Some days, it takes all the distraction in the world to stop him from thinking about it.)

So he changes the angle. Deflects it away from what they want (and how badly wanting can backfire) and towards what they're stuck with. ]

And you're okay with this little game of cops and robbers they've got set up?

[conservationist]

[Oreki gives quite an incredulous look.]

Of course I'm not okay with it. It's insanity. I'm not going to fight in some random monarch's war just because they tell me to.
