[text] and then [accidental video]

[ One might easily identify this as a sign of a new user -- and new arrival -- given the extended period of slow, confused exploration of the PDA's miniature keypad conducted in almost pitch darkness. But if one were to guess who, in the midst of a baffled adjustment to one's unfamiliar surroundings, would have time to sit down and play with a weird piece of technology, those who know the white-haired arrival might not have guessed Allen Walker.
But really, messing with this peculiar thing and indulging his passing curiosity is all that's standing between him and panic. It's a fine distraction, really.
One that loses its sparkle when what amounts to a very fancy, miniaturized typewriter offers absolutely no answers.
In his frustration, Allen vents his opinion where he thinks it won't matter. ]
clever, but it's still rubbish
[ And presses something that he'll later learn is called 'enter' in a unique method revealed by a brief clip of unintentional video recording; by way of the toe of his boot connecting with the device as a white-haired young man kicks it in a fit of pique.
He can't have kicked it too hard, nor has it landed against anything too unforgiving, as it's still running a few moments before the video cuts out. ]

[ And yes, yes, he's going-- but he's not so preoccupied as to neglect certain expected (necessary, Allen would say) responses to certain dismaying terms of endearment.
Sprout, indeed! He's grown a bit since they last met, he'd have you know!!
Not... that such a small screen really indicates as much. Reverting back to that more gentle tone of earlier: ]
See you later, then.

And you're still shorter than his six foot monstrous self.
Lavi gives him another grin, well worn and more familiar.]
Just make sure you don't go across any bridges. I'm in 905 when you get here.

(Granted, thanks to a little help from the Science Division, but still.)
Bridges? ]
...I'll steer clear, but I hope you'll explain that one when I get there.

Besides, Cross is the Ginger Sasquatch, not him.]
Yeah, don't worry. I will.

Not that either of them dress in women's clothes, or anything. ]
...Have you two been here long? I think this is the first time Kanda and I have had anything resembling a real conversation.
It's a little--
[ refreshing ]
--distressing.

Yu won't tell me for certain how long he's been here, but I'll have been here a year come April.
[A serious expression.] He took you and Lenalee leaving pretty hard. We all did.
video;
[ Lavi's been here almost a full year, Kanda... perhaps longer.
Living in this desolate place for so long, with only a handful of others as your company, trapped with no viable way to escape.
Lavi always put forth the manner of a carefree teenager, but when things came down to the wire he could be counted on to strategize, puzzle their way out of a bind. Kanda would have thrown himself at and sliced to ribbons whatever stood between him and his objective.
And they had been here that long.
That last has Allen breaking eye contact to contemplate the broken pavement, awkwardly, never one to accept graciously reminders of how much he might or might not mean to those he called comrades.
Lenalee... ]
You mean she was trapped here too?
video;
[He's still trying. At least with trying to find people that will help them. So far the north has turned out exactly like Nesreca, towns with destroyed buildings from the late 1800s.
Libitina doesn't seem to want to let go of them. Or Sasuke.
Nodding.]
She was, she showed up around the same time I did.
