[Is it possibly for a mental voice to sound giddy? Because there's a distinct giddy tinge to By's thoughts, for all that his words come out with his normal, lazy, lightly Russian-accented drawl.]

Byerly Vorrutyer here. We're on Earth, pre-spaceflight, although someone who isn't me will need to get a better read on the actual date and location. Linguistically, it's a hodgepodge. I can hear archaic Russian, a whole host of Asiatic and Romance languages, and something else I can't quite place.

If you can "hear" this, check in. We need to know who we've got to work with.

Rather some bastardization of her and I'm cringing every time she opens her mouth, but otherwise, yes.

Yeah, I'm okay, even if this place kinda blows my mind.

[A pause.]

I want to keep my clothes.

[timelessinventor]

Oh, dear. Is that normal? Although, I believe I saw one of my friends from home walk by earlier in a very... oriental mode of dress. She did not seem to notice me.

[Helena mentally laughs.]

As do I, darling. I left this outfit in the eighteen nineties, and I am quite glad to have it back.

[wantedittobeagame]

I dunno... usually when we end up as infiltrators it's a role that's similar to ourselves. Makes me a little worried that there are parts of her I don't know.

[There's a pause as Adachi processes how she looked before and how some of the ladies around him look.]

...really? How's it look?

[timelessinventor]

Do you know her that well, darling? Sometimes there are sides to even our closest companions that we never saw. One of my former lovers turned out to be literally psychotic. I certainly did not see that one coming.

[There's a mental smirk in her tone.]

Well I certainly think I look good. Perhaps you should find me to see. I'm in a cafe, near the airships, darling.

[wantedittobeagame]

Well, I thought I knew her pretty well.

[Either way, they were going to have A Talk when they got back to Liminal Space. Although he wasn't thinking much about that after that last part.]

...w-well, I'll have to try and get away from her higness-ness then.

[timelessinventor]

Perhaps it is not as bad as you think, darling. I might not truly understand what we are doing yet, but people are quite complex. Perhaps it is just a part of her being amplified.

I am certain you can come up with something. You seem to be quite resourceful.

[wantedittobeagame]

Yeah, I hope not. I have faith in her, so...

[He paused a moment.]

H-heh... resourceful hunh? Well, I'll see what I can do.

[timelessinventor]

Excellent. I shall see you soon, darling.
