[Console: Video] [Subject: Moving the Turtle Part II]

I regret to inform you all that it seems Miss Lazuli has returned to her world.

For those who were her friends, I am deeply sorry.

[There's a moment where he shifts, eyes flicking downwards, but he's back to his usual attentive self in a moment.]

This may make things with the upcoming move tricky - while I'm informed that the tidal surge will be more than enough to dislodge Tu Vishan, Miss Lazuli was one of our primary movers.

I would ask then for anyone who has control of the elements of wind or water to lend your aid in keeping the turtle as steady as possible. I would also ask for help in ensuring buildings are structurally secure. We suffered some minor issues during the primary move, and while I don't foresee disaster, it is better to be safe than sorry.

When the time comes for landfall, any aid in anchoring would also be much appreciated.

It's a Spell that affects a large area; there are a few sea-based ones. Although how they'll work when being applied to an actual ocean, I don't know.

It might be better to try it beforehand.

[ Bakura did, after all, partly blow up the dojo trying to make a Spell card do something it didn't mean to do. ]

Agreed. I don't think the Kedan will appreciate any bits taken out of Tu Vishan. Nor will he when he wakes, I'm sure.

The kedan know better to complain.

[ His monsters are, not entirely without evidence, rumoured to eat people, after all. ]

But best test of an ocean-based field spell would, in fact, be on the ocean. Apparently I'll be heading to the shell's edge.

Would it help for us to try it together?

[Solomon hasn't tried a field spell before, but he's kept up with summoning. Not urgently, but enough that it might help stabilise things to have a second person trying, in this fog.]

You're certainly welcome to tag along, waheh-maw.

Worth testing, if it'll help stop us crashing. I'll meet you at the dojo.

Aa. I'll see you there.

...I ...see.

[Bakura, no. People aren't for eating.]

It seems you have an escort. Will you keep me updated on how things turn out?

[ Bakura yes. They are, however, occasionally for terrifying. ]

Of course, tekhenu. It's the least I can do if you plan to be spearheading this plan now.

[ The way he says it implies Klaus may want to reconsider that, of course. ]

Ah, well. Hopefully it works out. Most here are on the same page of wanting to keep Tu Vishan from sinking, so all are at least aligned in a single goal if not necessarily methods of achieving it.

Though if I may, that word you use - it is Egyptian, yes?

Occasionally everyone does find themselves on the same page, yes.

It is; why?

Ah, I thought I recognized it. A few years back, Gilbert, Chain and myself had a job in Alexandria. [Ugly business involving some rather persistent thralls of a vampire who'd been residing there for a century or two.] I only know a few phrases, I'm afraid. May I ask what that word means?

Oh? They still speak "ancient" Egyptian in your world's Egypt? Nearly all the others seem to favour Arabic now.

It means an obelisk.

No, the nature of the venture required an understanding of more... antiquated languages.

[Vampires aren't going to make getting a hold of their true names easy, after all.]

Ah- [This actually gets a bit of a laugh.] I cannot imagine why you would choose to call me that. [Holy shit Bakura, you got him to crack a joke.]

Mm. Antiquated is a kinder word for it than most.

[ it's an audio only feed, but Bakura's sharp grin is audible ]

Aa, well, I have such a habit of arbitrary names. Ask anyone.

I will certainly do that. It's always interesting to see the perspective of another.

Are you a fluent speaker of ancient Egyptian?

Isn't everyone a fluent speaker of their first language?
