[Nezumi has already figured out the basics of everything going on and he‘s surveyed the area. He's still curious how all of this works and so it's time to use the journal he received. Important questions and all of that.]

Free food, free shelter, and free everything. Isn’t that just impressive? Much like that library we have is. It has a lot of things I haven’t even heard of and I am very eager to get my hands on them. The Malnosso they’re called right? They really supply you with everything. How very hospitable. [Too hospitable.]

Is the food actually safe? Are the places we live in bugged with cameras? Read the guide and I guess nobody thought of those questions. Did anybody even think to ask? Let’s take the handouts from the people who captured us. Who want us for experiments. Let’s just trust what they give us and assume it‘s all safe. [A bark of laughter.] I’ll ask then: has anybody bothered to check if the food is safe? I simply cannot be stuffing just anything into my body now. Only the best, of course.

[So he doesn't know about dead people coming back to life here then...?]

Alright, but I'm not a girl.

[Habit!]

Not all devices man creates are destroyers.

[repudiate]

Oh, do you mean something along the lines of having spent quite some time in the company of that sort of people? Poor guy.

[godbent]

Yeah, whatever. As for the cameras, there's bound to be a lot in any given room. These journals of course are entirely recorded, but in things constructed by the Organization, while I've yet to find a camera I'm sure they're bugged.

[command-medli.livejournal.com]

Yes, in a way! As I said, I've never left my home before, so everyone here seems to be from a different world to me.

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

[Oh, he knows. But it doesn't mean he wants to die at all even if he comes back.]

Okay then.

[Could have sworn this was a woman, but...

He hangs up either way. Yeah, this one is not for socializing.]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

It would make the most sense. Want to give an idea why nobody bothers to gives a heads up?

[godbent]

If you mean the theoretical house-cameras, it's probably another case of "it's everywhere so no one thinks about it." If you mean the books, pretty sure them being suspect is mentioned somewhere.

[ voice ]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Carnivores don't always eat their babies, but does it make a difference to the animals they do eat?

We created guns for protection, but look how well that served us.

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

The journals being bugged are in the guide.

But if you mean the house-cameras, it would appear that not too many have thought about it.

[ voice ]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

Aye, but it is a misfortune you soon find very hilarious.

[voice]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

So this is your first big trip, eh?

[godbent]

Like I said, it's theoretical. It just seems probable.

[voice]

[command-medli.livejournal.com]

That's right! Perhaps, if the circumstances were better, I'd find it more exciting. As of now, I'd just like to be back home.

You sound like you've been all over, though. Were you a sailor?

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

Theory or not, it's likely. Probably something people should be thinking about. Oh well. The information, or 'theory' you gave was useful.

I'll be off now.

[And he hangs up. He's not a people person.]

[voice]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

[He laughs at that. Oh man, a sailor.] No, but let's keep the personal questions at a minimum.

Actually with that, I think I'll take my leave. [She was lucky to have him talk to her this much.]

[voice]

[command-medli.livejournal.com]

Oh, OK! Then I wish you the best of luck settling in, um, sir.

[And, assuming that asking for his name counts as a personal question, she hangs up... and immediately goes to turn her new room upside-down and inspect her groceries. Twice.]

There are other ways to protect yourself with something other than a gun.

[ voice ]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

But that's a new technology we came up with, correct? So isn't this supposed to be something incredible to you?

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Muskets and pistols have been around since before and even during my era, it's nothing new to me.

[ voice ]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

Didn't you ask me what was new about my era? You mentioned new technology. If someone from before your era, before pistols and muskets, were told about them?

Should they be impressed? More tools to harm more people. People staying the same and causing more damage.

[ voice ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I'm not impressed by tools of war, I prefer the piano and the tools of music.

[ voice ]

[asquiet.livejournal.com]

That isn't about tools of war. It's about technology in general, though you're right about music. I'm--

Never mind. I can't be bothered.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... Hilarious? [ She sounds slightly surprised through the deadpan. ] I don't know how you could find dealing with idiots hilarious. Unless you're a masochist or whatever.

Forgive my manners, guns and other such weapons are reminders of the horrors from home. Though if I may, please allow me to introduce myself since I have completely forgotten. My name is Frederic Francois Chopin, it is a pleasure to meet you.
