[Accidential Video]

[wineandwomen]

[The feed comes on when Tim rolls over onto the device while he's playing like a toy, knocked off a little desk in a small office.

Cross is standing there in his priestly robes, arms crossed over his chest, having a rather angry discussion in Russian with two official looking men.]

YA ponyatiya ne imyeyu , chto vy govorite. V posledniĭ raz ya byl v etom raĭone bylo tri nedeli nazad.

[One of the men grumbles, moving away from his partner to examine the office as if he were looking for something in particular to be out of place.]

Tam byli soobshcheniya Vy rassmatrivaet·sya cherez reku, svyashchennik. Yesli my obnaruzhim , chto eto pravda , eto budet ne tyurʹma dlya vas. Eto budet gorazdo khuzhe.

[The exorcist scoffs, grabbing both men by their shoulders to ever so kindly show them out of his office, pausing when they were on the other side of the door to answer.]

YA nadyeyusʹ, vy ne vyzyvayut vashi umy slishkom mnogo boli , pytayasʹ vyyasnitʹ etu taĭnu. YA ne khotel by znatʹ nashikh zamechatelʹnykh politsiya prevzoshla prosto prizrak. Khoroshiĭ denʹ gospoda , mozhet Bog sledit za vami.

[Cross shuts and locks the door, letting out a heavy sigh as he looks at his fallen golem who seems to ooze out just a bit after the door is shut. He goes to his companion, picking him up with great care before giving him a small smile.]

Don't worry Tim, I won't get caught. That's not part of the plan yet.

[The feed is cut off when Cross sets his golem back down on the desk, one of Tim's feet switching it off.]

((ooc: For the characters that speak Russian the translation is this:

C: I have no idea what you're talking about. The last time I was in that area was three weeks ago.
O: There have been reports of you being seen across the river, priest. If we find this to be true, it won't be jail for you. It will be much worse.
C: I hope you do not cause your minds too much pain in trying to figure out this mystery. I'd hate to know our wonderful police force was outdone by a mere specter. Good day gentlemen, may God watch over you.))

[beanstalk]

...It was on.

[And he only got like, half that conversation. SOB MODERN RUSSIAN.]

[wineandwomen]

Damn it all to hell.

[beanstalk]

[At least he isn't yelling at you this time...]

...They're seriously paranoid.

[wineandwomen]

A bit more than that I'm afraid.

[beanstalk]

Does it have to do with that meeting you snuck in on?

[wineandwomen]

No. They still don't know I did that.

[beanstalk]

I'm guessing it'll still be bad for us.

[wineandwomen]

That it will. They think you're all being too quiet over there. Maybe I should find something for you to destroy?

[beanstalk]

It's always quiet, what more do they want? A sudden bustling city?

[wineandwomen]

They expect violence and trouble.

This may be why I shouldn't tag at 4am after a horse movie

[beanstalk]

Must be stuck in their heads after all this time, yet they jump a scared horse when they see any of us.

[Raised to believe people, animals, and other live things are violent on their side of the river... Watch a dead city for decades and get used to seeing nothing, but see people after so long so suddenly and hide in fear.]

[alma_karma]

[Thanks to Cross and Lavi's teachings, Alma got most of that conversation. Enough to be very, very worried, at least.]

How could they know you were here?

video

[wineandwomen]

[Ah damn it. Alma. Why did you have to be such a good student?]

By spying perhaps?

Re: video

[alma_karma]

[A good student with a lot of free time and a mind still young enough to soak in languages like a sponge. You're boned.]

Do you think they've been coming over here?

video

[wineandwomen]

[Crap. Maybe he'll have to sic you on the Queen for a bit to help her with lessons.]

No. They're still too wary of what is here.

Re: video

[alma_karma]

But if we go over there, there might be someone over there not afraid to come over here.

[wineandwomen]

Superstition, Alma. Remember?

[alma_karma]

... Oh. [He's still pretty sure there's gotta be someone over there brave enough, but if Cross says there isn't...]

But what if they do catch you? [Because jail sounds pretty bad, and Alma doesn't want to know what's worse than that.]

[wineandwomen]

I don't think any of the residents here are brave enough or stupid enough to try to cross the river. But if they are, you have Yu and a whole bunch of others to keep you safe.

I don't want to think about that... Too many things come up in my head.

[alma_karma]

I'm not afraid of them.

[And for the most part? He really isn't. He worries much more about what could happen to Cross or Lavi or anyone else who risks themselves in Credinta.]

[1mistress_nomaster]

[.... So, she caught about three words of that. Her Russian is no where near good enough for that.

And she'll save her... fdjaskfasd over Tim later. Because she's never seen one of those before.]

... your grace? [She wasn't sure if he really even wanted a reply, the device might of just gone and done it accidentally.]

[wineandwomen]

Worry not, m'lady. Nothing you need to let weigh down your mind.

[1mistress_nomaster]

They neither looked nor sounded happy.

... and they looked rather official. You ought to not put yourself in trouble, General. You'd be sorely missed by... many of us, if something happened to you.

[wineandwomen]

Lizzie. I will be fine. They have nothing on me anyway. Besides, if they did, I would just hide out with my sponsor here until things blew over.

[1mistress_nomaster]

[There's that pet name again. She really doesn't know what to make of it... Or you know anything about him any more. Stupid drunk her, she went and made things difficult for sober her.]

... I am glad you have somewhere safe to go, Cross. [fidgeting a little] Perhaps you should stay away from here for awhile? Lay low as it were...

... or maybe not. [She sighed and frowned. She couldn't help it, she was thinking like a statesman again.]

[voice]

[chrysalis_ex]

[ Well. ]

...General?

[ It will forever be unexpected. ]

[voice]

[wineandwomen]

Lenalee...?

[He'd be lying if he said he were happy you were back.]

When did you get here?

[voice]

[chrysalis_ex]

Not to long ago--two or three days.

I heard you were here from someone else, but... [ Her voice trails off; she does not say, "Everyone thought you were dead." ]

[voice]

[wineandwomen]

I'm sorry I missed your arrival.

Yes... I don't live on that side. I stay over here to make sure everyone is safe and taken care of supply wise. I put a note up in the main area on the first floor about supplies, all right?

[voice]

[chrysalis_ex]

That's all right.

[ Supplies... ] Okay.

I don't think I need anything right now. [ Not that she can think of, anyway. ]

[voice]

[wineandwomen]

Everyone gets basics every week but it's up to everyone else to let me know what else they want.

[voice]

[chrysalis_ex]

Is it hard to obtain things? [ She was thinking about that conversations she had just seen. She has little knowledge of Russian, but those men didn't seem happy for one reason or the other. ]

[Voice]

[a_box_of_cats]

[It's a short time later when Loki sends the reply to Cross.]

Oh, such charming gentlemen. You do keep the best of company, general.
