[Hanekoma's grinning as casually as ever, but he looks a little flushed, and are those dark circles under his eyes?
That's definitely a drippy-looking nose. Maybe he shouldn't have been running around in short sleeves and sandals after all.]
Heyyyy! Had fun with your party?
I was just wonderin' if anybody out there's got tea leaves they're willin' ta trade. I prefer green, but I'll take black or herbal if that's what you've got.
[Thoughtful.] I can trade ya fresh eggs, meat, or --
[He turns the camera to display a half-finished tempera mural in black and white covering one wall of his room -- it's a boldly outlined forest of graffiti-style skyscrapers seen from above, dwindling down to tiny streets under a brilliant sky.] --we can work out a trade for some wall art.
[He pauses to stifle a hacking cough.] Speak up quick, just in case goin' out gets tricky again in a day or two!

[Video//Private//Unhackable] GAH how did I miss that post. Sorry! D:
Date: 2011-11-21 12:01 am (UTC)It makes me wonder whether confronting the Animus for a way back is really the correct answer. They talk about the scientists as bein' lost, don't they? Escaped?
Sounds like they're more powerful than we are, but they don't have the key to this place. The scientists did, and either they got wiped out or they used it.
[Pausing] And don't quote me on this, Raven, it's speculation -- but if I had to guess, my thought would be that this place must take a lot of energy to maintain. Planes constricted, people and things falling in from other dimensions -- it's not a normal, stable kinda place. If I had the technology to put somethin' like this together, but not the power to maintain it, first thing I'd do with that tech is pull in somethin' powerful enough to use as a cornerstone.
All that... it makes me wonder if they used the Animus as their cornerstone, and that's what's trapping them here.
Sure seems like they're woven pretty tightly inta the fabric of this place.
[Video//Private//Unhackable] No worries <3 It works just as well like this :D
Date: 2011-11-21 11:43 pm (UTC)That's the first time I've heard such an interesting theory. And so surprisingly close to the one I had... [Except she hadn't found the part the Animus could play into this. But Sanae's hypothesis kinda make sense.]
This is a theory we should keep for ourselves for now. But it's certainly worth investigating it.

Got any ideas? You've seen more of 'em than I have.
