[A darkened hotel room - one of those in Spero, for those of you keeping track. The view is at an odd angle, as though perhaps it turned on accidentally. In the gloom you can pick out the back of Moa's head, against the far side of the bed.

There's a shuffling noise, some rattling, and a tinny voice speaks up.]

I love you.

[Nothing moves. The rattling begins again, and a bird's foot comes into view.]

I love you. [Again there's no response. The bird whistles like a tea kettle, it's head bobbing into view.] I love you. You're such a pretty bird.

[The girl doesn't move. It howls like a wolf, obviously trying to get her attention by now.]

You're such a pretty bird.



What a good boy.


I love you.

I love you.

[The feed times out.]

[Well, this was...]

Are-Are you alright?

[Unnerving.]

[The head finally moves a little, turning. She's quiet for being so far away.]

's someone there?

[Video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Yes. I heard your bird talking just a few minutes ago, aru. I wanted to see what was going on.

[Video]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[She turns further, as though perhaps she's going to get up....but then she apparently decides not to, and remains slumped against the bed.]

He wants attention. He just talks a lot.

[Video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

[China cracks a smile.]

He's cute, aru. Where did you find him?

[mizu-isei.livejournal.com]

Moa...

[Extremely worried Sunao is extremely worried.]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[Extremely worried Sunao should be extremely worried. Except, actually, Moa will actually respond to her. Save her, Prince. ;; ]

Sunao? Where're you?

[mizu-isei.livejournal.com]

On my way to your room. I'll be there in a minute or two, ok?

[Yep already rushing over.]

You're not hurt, are you? ... [Though she has an idea of what it might be, if not who.]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[There's some sniffling. If you guessed "boyfriend leaving", Sunao, you are correct! Her voice strengthens a little, as though she's trying to be okay, at least for a few moments.]

I'm not hurt. I'm jus.....

[Tears are obviously welling up again.]

[mizu-isei.livejournal.com]

[Oh, she knows someone did... Moa has only ever seemed this upset when people disappear.]

...I don't think I agree with you.

[Moa sounds very hurt...

Within a couple minutes, Sunao arrives at the room, breathing hard from running so quickly to get there. She knocks...though she just wants to go right in.]

[ Huh. Ange can pick up enough from the feed to notice it's someone who.. probably isn't feeling very okay right now, and maybe wants to be left alone, but.. ]

... Are you going to answer it yet?

[video]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[It appears that the bird has turned the video on. It bobs its head, whistles.]

[video]

[isolatedpiece.livejournal.com]

[ ... Is she really going to talk to a bird.

...

... ]

Just as usual, I guess. And you?

[video]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[isolatedpiece.livejournal.com]

You're the only bird here. Unless you're pretty narcistic.

... Who taught you that stuff either way?

video. (this tag is so mean i am sorry)

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

Hey, bird. Shut up.

[ sorry moa, he doesn't notice your head yet. ]

[video] OH JACK YOU'RE SO GOOD WITH THE LADIES

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

video. (the other dudes have nothing on jack hyland)

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

You're the bird. And you're not a pretty one, either! You're just dumb. How'd you even work the communicator, anyway?

[video] /SWOONS

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[YEAH HE WENT THERE. WHAT NOW.]

video.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

[ AW MAN BIRD YOU TOOK THIS WAY TOO FAR ]

Is somebody feeding you the lines or something? C'mon, somebody else's gotta be there!

[puzzledprof.livejournal.com]

Moa? Dear? [She hasn't given any sign that she's alive, so Layton is a bit distressed. She's probably just upset rather than dead... at least he hopes.]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[Don't worry, Layton! Or worry a little less, at least. She's alive! She demonstrates this by shuffling and turning her head a little.]

Layton? [Ooh, that sounded pretty teary.]

[puzzledprof.livejournal.com]

[Yaaay!]

What's wrong, Dear?

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

F.... [She sounds like she's trying to talk around tears. There's a few more attempts to say something before she goes silent for a moment. Finally, in a forced, blank tone: ]

Federico is gone.

[puzzledprof.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, dear. [...No idea who that is. Friend of hers?]

[video]

[fierybluebird]

[... What is this... I don't even...]

I love you too, pretty boy. [Pure deadpan.]

[video]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[The parrot comes closer. That was kind of what it wanted to happen, but also kind of not. You're not Moa. You said the right words though....]

[video]

[fierybluebird]

All right, how are you?

[Voice]

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Moa? {Concerned captain is concerned.}

[voice]

[dreamermoa.livejournal.com]

[ACE. The other person besides Sunao she was hoping to actually talk to!]

Ace? I'm - I'm alone again.

[voice]

[dontcallmegol.livejournal.com]

Where are you?
