[This video includes a slightly strange-looking woman. She has gray skin, gold eyes, and a line of small, black cross marks on her forehead— plus a super disapproving expression as she adjusts her tablet and sighs.]

So this is to be my new home? It's somewhat dirtier than I'd like. [And so many humans!]

I can't say I wholly approve of this communication method, either, though I will admit it is intriguing.

[A pause.] But I don't mean to complain endlessly, of course.

[She inclines her head slightly.] I am called Lulubell. It's a great pleasure to meet you... "Exsilium". [Maybe there's a tiny, tiny hint of sarcasm to that last sentence. Hard to tell with her mostly flat tone.]

[ fffffffffffffffffuck ]

reaction chain aw yeah

[aequivoci]

[ ohhhhhhh baby, the party is about to start! ]

laughs forever

[luxuresombre]

[But why are there so many of you

Chosen course of action: stare primly into the distance and wait. Though maybe the prim stare gets a little dangerous after a moment.]

[aequivoci]

[ because there ain't no party like a black order party
and a black order party don't stop!

unfortunately for lenalee (and the other exorcists), cross is going to respond via video as well. it's only fair to return the favor~ ]

[anklets]

[ you are a travesty you should feel bad ]

[aequivoci]

[ he only feels bad 1% of the time, but y'all know that already. ]

[WHAT IS IT, LENALEE?]

[ a bored scroll of going through the posts has commenced for this general. almost every thought to every post is "new kid, new kid, new brat, new, new, new." and then as he prepares to scroll up once again, he stops to actually look at the person in the video, and the biggest shit-eating grin appears on his face.

oh, yes. good job, initiative. good job indeed. ]

I do hope you're ready to be wet endlessly.

[She spends a good chunk of her time as a cat, she's not ready for this rain. And as for the other meaning of that sentence. Have a glare.]

...Excuse me, General?

[aequivoci]

[ c'mere kitty, you can stay warm in his coat~

the grin seems to get bigger, if that's even possible. ]

The rain here is unrelenting. Add the low temperature in, and, well, one's body will tremble for constant warmth.

[luxuresombre]

I'm sure I will get my warmth somewhere. Don't be concerned on my behalf. [Voice drips with monotone venom, whoops.]

[aequivoci]

I am always concerned for a woman's well-being. Do notify me if your search turns up nothing. [ and he's still flirting away, welp ]

[luxuresombre]

[Eyebrows are so raised.]

Is that so? You may be disappointed. I can't say I enjoy the idea of entrusting you with my well-being in any way; I'm sure you understand.

[phaseshifts]

[EAT YOUR HEART OUT GENERAL!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!]

[aequivoci]

[ go eat your own ]

Ah!

[phaseshifts]

[He can't private because what is technology, so in person is the next best thing.]

My lady... where are you?

[luxuresombre]

Tyki...

The library in the Hold. Though I seem to recall libraries involving more actual books. [Not so used to this electronic records thing.]

[phaseshifts]

Stay right where you are, hm? I'll be there in a moment.

[luxuresombre]

Do hurry. I could certainly use company. [And she'll wait.]

[He pauses on this video feed, taking note of her rather unhealthy complexion immediately, although that doesn't necessarily mean she's a- oh. Stigmata. Oh no.

She's talking to Cross. And Tyki.

Goddammit.

Months, it's been months since another's arrived. Fuck, and Tyki's already spotted her.

He knows nothing about this Noah at all. It's possible she knows nothing about him, either, but somehow, that seems unlikely. After pacing his room for a bit, he returns to the tablet, and gets to work. He's picked up a few tricks in the 9 months he's been here, and that includes learning how to switch his tablet's display name. So he replaces 'Allen Walker' with

'Jack'. Sure, that's innocuous. He's got this.]

Dirtier than your old home?

[...Boy oh boy.]

For the most part? Yes. I won't say it pleases me.

Have you seen the apartments? They're practically spotless.

[ARE YOU IN THE APARTMENTS, NOAH.]

[luxuresombre]

Only in passing. For now, it's 'temporary housing'.

[She manages to convey a tone of disgust somehow, even without actually speaking.]

[GREAT so she's in a confined space with a ton of other people instead.]

Really? Do you know how long for?
