[It's through poking and prodding alone that he's been able to figure out how the netbook works, and while he has taken the liberty of spooling through some of the more recent entries to try and figure out where he is and what's going on, none of what he's found has been conclusive. It's a deeply distrustful mini-prince that finds his way onscreen as a result, and although he's scowling impressively, there's a hint of fear in his eyes that hasn't been completely buried.]

To whoever kidnapped us, you aren't going to gain anything from imprisoning me. I'm not sure what you were thinking, but you can't have been paying attention to current events if you thought it was a good idea.

[Seriously, are you touched in the head or something? His scowl soon fades, though, if only because his audience has changed. This is probably a stupid idea, but--]

To everyone else, have you seen a girl with long, chestnut hair? Her eyes are closed, and she's in a wheelchair. If not her, have you seen a boy around my age with brown hair and green eyes? He's probably wearing a white shirt and big black pants that look like a dress.

They might be together, but I can't be sure. Please let me know if you've found either of them.

[For a second or two, he looks very much like he wants to add something else, but eventually, he thinks better of it and ends the entry.]

((ooc; Oh right, and anyone who's been paying attention may just notice that while Lelouch's previous entries deliberately had the name "Lelouch Lamperouge" tacked on them, this one says "Lelouch vi Britannia." Jsyk.))

( there is a reason she doesn't try explaining exsilium to people, and she's remembering exactly why now. )

...I don't really know how to put it. But nobody's going to try to hurt you or anything!

The government? I don't think there's a real government here.

video; wait that's not the icon i meant to use GOD WHY DON'T I HAVE MORE ICONS

[pioncoiffe]

So it's an anarchist community?

[Still sounding skeptical here, to say nothing of the frown growing on his face. This can't be right, can it?]

Then how has it stayed below the radar? How has no one conquered it yet?

RANKA IS TOTALLY THREATENING

[ex_symbioses706]

That's...because it's more like, most of the people here were exiled here.

SHE'S A GIRL SHE MIGHT HAVE COOTIES okay no idk but god I really do need icons this is dumb

[pioncoiffe]

[That startles a bitter laugh out of him, but while the frown has gone, too, the smile that has come to replace it isn't much better.]

I guess that's appropriate.

YOU'RE FINE i'm surprised you found this many really

[ex_symbioses706]

( child

CHILD

WHAT IS THAT REACTION )

Appropriate?

i hunted them down a while ago actually I HAVE SO MANY LELOUCH ICONS just not many of him as a kid

[pioncoiffe]

[His expression turns flat again, closed off.]

Yes. It's appropriate.

[And that's all you're getting out of him for now. Probably.]

What's your name?

oooh yeah makes sense!

[ex_symbioses706]

Ah - oh! My name's Ranka.

doesn't it though

[pioncoiffe]

I'm Lelouch.

[No last name for now. Even if it's visible and he knows it is, it's not something he wants to draw too much attention to.]

Have you been here for long?

[ex_symbioses706]

( the only reason she doesn't stop to count is because she's had to answer that a few times recently )

Four months. Which sounds like a lot, but...compared to some people, isn't.

[pioncoiffe]

[Four months. Is he going to be here that long? Trapped? Without Nunnally?]

I see.

[ex_symbioses706]

( oh no did she scare a little kid?? )

But! Some people are here for much shorter, and lots of times, people you know will come here too!

( "and you're usually older than me" seems like a weird thing to try to throw in )

[pioncoiffe]

[Scare, no. Depress, yes. The shrug he gives doesn't reveal very much of this, though.]

Do you know how long it takes on average for either?

[ex_symbioses706]

I think it's pretty random.

[pioncoiffe]

[How reassuring. He sighs.]

Is there anything else I need to know?

[Assuming he even chooses to believe her. He still hasn't quite made up his mind.]

[ex_symbioses706]

Mmm...oh, wait! I almost forgot, but there's a guide.

( and dum de dum attaching it )

[pioncoiffe]

[... Or maybe he will believe her. This fiction is getting a little too elaborate to be, well, fiction.]

Thank you.

[ex_symbioses706]

You're welcome.

( pause )

Um, Lelouch...is there anything else you want help with?

[pioncoiffe]

[Oh god what a question, and he takes a while to reply, expression pensive. He could ask about the place itself, or... no, that can wait. The most important thing is--]

Just with finding my sister. If she's here.

[ex_symbioses706]

Do you want to go looking for her, together?

[pioncoiffe]

[There's another lengthy pause, then he glances away.]

We'll cover more ground if we search separately.

[ex_symbioses706]

( yeah, but she doesn't really feel right leaving him to wander around alone at this age, especially if he might not remember the layout of the city. )

...oh! But you know how she looks a lot better than I do, right? I might miss her on accident, even with that description.

[pioncoiffe]

[Oh, no. His temper flares.]

How many girls do you think you'll find who are blind and in a wheelchair?

[ex_symbioses706]

Well! I already know of one girl in a wheelchair here ( who is not a little girl right now but with the way things are going, who knows ) and there could be plenty of others! Besides, if I were her age and a stranger found me, I wouldn't want to go with them, even if they said they know my brother!

( ranka stop arguing with small children )

[pioncoiffe]

If you had your-- your computer thing with you at the time, you could just contact me and I could talk to her! There's no reason why we have to look together!

[ex_symbioses706]

( HUFF )

Okay, I was just asking! Try not to get lost either, okay?
