[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.]

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...

[She doesn't seem to have actually thought of this.]

[A soft laugh.]

It's okay. Unplanned excursions are the most fun, I think.

Would you like me to show you around?

[That earns a sort of relieved trilling.]

Yes! What's good to see?

[exarmatio]

Oh, lots of things! There are houses from Japan, a giant skyscraper of some sort, the Great Wall, the Taj Mahal...

The Taj Mahal. At least, I think so. Would you like to go?

[She's almost excited.]

[exarmatio]

Sure, I don't mind. You can even hide in my hair if you want. It's a somewhat long trip for someone so small.

Absolutely! Please hold on tight, then!

[And once he's given her time to settle in, he starts swimming in the direction of the Taj Mahal.]

[As much as something without hands or arms can hold, but. She doesn't seem to have any problem attaching to his head and staying there.]
