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

[purered]

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.

...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?

Re: audio;

[denyamenti]

[ 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?

Re: audio;

[denyamenti]

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?

Re: audio;

[denyamenti]

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

It means an obelisk.

Re: audio;

[purered]

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.]

Re: audio;

[denyamenti]

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.

[purered]

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

Are you a fluent speaker of ancient Egyptian?

Re: audio;

[denyamenti]

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