[Static. Static that gives way to a blurry, shaky camera arc, clearing on a section of the wall outside of the Inner City. But like the Animus posts, there's no PCD on the other side of the recording. It just... is, transmitting itself with no apparatus.

The image eventually sharpens. A small fish- mostly green- swims in quick loops, darting around the screen. Considering all the water, it doesn't look out of place.

A single voice finally cuts in, though it fades in and out.]

Hello!

It's much brighter out here.

[Something has left the Inner City.]

[Or at least, the easily distracted Animus separated from the horde.]

[More small, sort of tinny fanfare accompanies the statement. Also burrowing. Much burrowing.]

[And then she's in front of you (or nearby, or something...), floating perfectly in the water with no perceptible adaptations at all, not even gills.]

I already have. [She grudgingly inclines her head in an insincere show of respect.] Hello. Welcome to the outer city.

Your senses are more your own.

[The fish seems oblivious to any insincerity, but also a lack of surprise that the angel is suddenly there. She just swims around her.]

Cats are typically the type to be antisocial, so that's actually not very surprising...

[He gives a little giggle - that sort of tickles.]

Does the cat have a name, too? Or are you the only one?

[More serious there, and she's silent for a minute.]

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

How so?

You should go back to being immaterial. It's less ridiculous.

You still do miss your home, then. [Following in place to keep her eyes trained on the fish.] Does that motivate only you, or all of the Animus?

Hello!

[Talking to an Animus fish, s'cool.]

Are you enjoying it?

I see.

[He's equally serious, silent in contemplation.]

So, whenever something like this happens - where this place is changed, or we're personally changed in some way - it's one of you? I assume you're personally in charge of this change...

[The animus have an odd sense of manners, but Kurama isn't going to argue the finer points of etiquette.]

Are there others coming outside too?

[Well that's not... much of an answer. But it could mean that Thalatte doesn't know the name of her home world. Raven keeps quiet. Cas and Fran may have more relevant questions than she has right now.]

[It's creepy because it's so innocent. Hitsugaya sighs.]

Hyourinmaru is fine. He's here, at least. [Just a teensy, tiny bit accusatory.]

You came to get a better look then.
