001 [video]

[The image at first points to the floor as it blinks to life, before swinging around to point at the wall. It’s then covered completely by a pale hand, which continues to manipulate the camera with no particular objective. Apparently, one of the fingers on said hand accidentally pressed the ‘on’ button on the camera, and the owner of that finger has no idea he’s turned it on.

Briefly, the image passes a stone-faced youth with killer sideburns and a slick hat, but almost immediately passes by to point at the other wall.]

Oooh, is it a camera? [A small, female voice chimes excitedly, and the image once again swings up to the youth’s face. The source of the previous voice is a tiny winged woman hovering just behind the young man’s shoulder, excitement painted on her face in contrast to the complete lack of emotion of the human’s.]

It’s too small to be a camera. [Which just gets a pout from the Pixie.]

Maybe that's what cameras look like in the future.

[Ignoring her, the young man studies the camera a bit more before speaking directly to it.]

I was informed that I can keep in contact with others with this... contraption. If anyone can indeed hear me, I am Raidou Kuzunoha the 14th. It's a pleasure to meet you. [His tone remains flat as he says the words, almost as if they were rehearsed. Though he would feel a bit silly if he was just talking to a box, he would trust the words of those who gave him the item. If all else failed, he could just sell the thing.]

[He'll have to ask what a 'computer' is later.]

BE-16.

[Pit taps his chin thoughtfully and looks to the ceiling briefly as he pends a reply.]

Ah... Oh no. Come to think of it, I don't... actually know who lives there after all. Hehe. Sorry! I guess you'll just have to meet him when you meet him! Hope you two get along great! It's nice having a roommate you like a lot.

[Was that a tinge of sadness against his happy demeanor? No, you're just imagining things! Pit is totally not sad about just losing his roommate of three years, nope!]

[mcpimphat]

[Raidou nods. Regardless of who it is, he'd deal with it when the time came.

The young man might not emote much, but he's still rather perceptive, especially when it came to demons nonhuman entities, so that hint of sadness, however small, did not escape him.]

You dislike your current assignment?

[pitticus]

[He seems taken aback.] Huh? No no, not at all! Where'd you get that idea? I like my room.

[mcpimphat]

[Oh, then he'd guessed wrong.]

I'd assumed from your tone that you had a roommate you disliked. My apologies.

[pitticus]

[The direction of his eyes slant down so that he's not looking directly at the camera. Raidou wasn't wrong at all.]

No. I don't have a roommate. Not anymore, at least. He packed up his stuff and left today.

[mcpimphat]

[Ah, so it wasn't that he disliked his roommate, but rather that he no longer had a roommate at all.]

You miss him.

[pitticus]

Yeah... It feels really off! Like I got so used to him being here that suddenly seeing all his stuff gone and that side of the room empty makes me sad.
