prismatica | accidental video

[ It’s been some time since he got here and Baal’s been trying to get used to his new, albeit temporary, home. He’s also heard about busking apparently and has taken to pretend that his attempts at reading the resonance of the place are actually random ass songs he’s made on the fly. (It gets him by, a little bit.)

However, Baal has yet to actually try out the... bracelet...? mobile device, thing. It’s pretty clear the technology of this planet is so vastly different to the Sky Realm.

...

Yeah, he feels like an old technologically illiterate man but he’s from a fantasy world with flying airships and people still send snail mail. So! He’s fiddling with it in the safety of his home but of course, it doesn’t go so well and ends up uploading a video which focuses all too closely on the odd-looking smirking cat on his shoulder.

...Those sure look like sharp teeth— and Hannibal, who is just as curious, begins to swat at the screen. Poke, poke, poke.

A few more cat pokes later, the screen goes black but the audio is still on and Baal blurts out: ]

... Is that how you turn it off?

[ Hannibal mews in response. ~~Happy international cat day~~ ]

Almost. You've turned off the video, but your voice is still being recorded.

Your cat is adorable.

[Atsushi has such a weakness for cats that he would likely say that about any cat, weird-looking or not. Being unique just makes it cuter!!]

[ This reply comes a bit later, finally figuring out how to record his voice. ]

I see. I apologize, this form of communication is unfamiliar to me.

[ Adorable...? Baal looks at Hannibal, an eyebrow quirked. ]

... He says thank you.

You have nothing to apologize for. Adjusting to new technology can be difficult.

[Atsushi would be similar, if he had been called from the year of his death and not from much later.]

What's his name?

Hannibal.

[ Which said cat proclaims in a dignified sounding meow. ]

What an impressive name. Hello there, Hannibal.

[Atsushi's number one weakness: cats.]

[ There's a series of curious-sounding mewls in response. ]

He's asking for your name. [ But Baal, you haven't given yours..... ] ... And my name is Baal, his... [ uh, caretaker? Minion? The bigger extension of his self? ] old friend.

[ .... nailed it ]

[It's well known that people describe their relationships to their cats in fanciful ways - even if you don't consider that one of Atsushi's bosses is a talking cat.]

Nakajima Atsushi. It's a pleasure to meet both of you.
