[Thump]

Oh no, oh no...where am I now? I don't think I can deal with being lost like this! I'm not even in the desert anymore!

[There is a ripping sound and then a second voice, higher pitched and mocking joins in]

Only an idiot like you could get lost running away! Where did you strand us, you moron!

[There is the soft smack of fist on skin, and there it is again, and again and again until the first voice comes back]

Hey! Quit it! I don't know where we are...

[Then it slows down, as the speaker begins to process what's going on]

I must have passed out or something but then...

Did you kill us!?! Is this where dead people go!?! If you killed us I'm going to kill you!

Ow!

[Now the first voice sounds slightly muffled and tight, as if the speaker if forcing it through lips pressed together]

If we're dead you can't kill me.

Wise guy, huh?

No, Ragnarok, stop it! We're not dead! I...just...

[A long pause]

You just what? Finish your sentence, stupid!

[A sound like a coconut hitting the ground]

Ow! Sorry, I just look.

[A pause]

Is that a camera? Or a phone? It's on! Look! The red light's blinking!

M-maybe we're being spied on. I don't think I can deal with being spied on.

C-communication device? Like a cell phone or a mirror?

Yeah stupid, what else would it be?

B-but you thought it was a spy t--

[The dull thick thud of fist on something hard, like a skull]

Shut up!

Oww...

[Suddenly the video function is activated. Facing the camera is something thick and black faces the camera. There is something strange about its skin, it's almost shiny but that's not quite the right word. Its slick and its face is nearly featureless besides two bulging white eyes with crosses for pupils. Behind it, connected to it by a long sinewy body is a teen of an indeterminate gender bent over double clutching his head in pain]

Hey, dummy, check it out. I think I got it to work!

You changed it to a video feed. This device comes with Video, audio or even Text. I'll be happy to answer questions if you like?

[Ragnarok's eyes bulge even more]

Whoooa! She's hot!

[Crona snatches the device from his Weapon and holds it to himself]

Aah! Sorry! H-he's not really--um...see...uh...don't be mad! I don't think I could deal with you being mad!

Don't worry I'm not mad.

[Crona smiles with relief]

Could you tell me where we are?

At the moment we appear to be in the city of New York. I don't know how long this will be for though.

W-what do you mean? Where are we going?

Someone called the Author seems to place us in a manor usually, but on occasion we end up waking up in places such as this.

Placed us there? How? Is she a witch or...?

[Actually he can't think of any witch that can do THAT. Oh no, she must be really powerful]

I don't know if I can deal with a witch like that.

I don't know how, but however she did it, we're here and we can't seem to get out.

Don't panic, nothing too bad ever happens, and if it does there will always be someone to help.

[Crona is...sort of okay with that. It means that he can't screw anything else up for Maka and he might even be safe from Medusa]

O-okay.

Good, if you ever need any help you can always ask me. Or anyone else that is around this place.

R-really?!

[Why is she being so nice to him]

Why are you helping out this idiot, anyway? He's not good at anything, just so you know

[Crona shrinks a little]

That's true.

That's a little harsh. But it doesn't mean I don't help though.

Sometimes the truth hurts, right Crona?

[To add to said pain Ragnarok hits Crona]

Doesn't mean you use violence to get your way.

See Crona, she just met you and she knows you're useless.

[Crona shrinks a little.]

I didn't say that, no one is useless.

You're only saying that because you don't know Crona.
