I'm not sure how to use this. Can I really have what I write go to other people just by using this thing? This phone? It doesn't look like any phone I have seen before. But that is really amazing! If it works, I mean.

Although if it doesn't work then I guess no one can see this anyway...

Okay, so. Is what the people at the hospital said true? I don’t think it is. Well, obviously I don’t because it is the craziest thing I’ve heard and I’ve dealt with some fairly crazy things not too long ago.

Um. What else? Oh! If people are reading this, I should introduce myself.

My name is Maka! It’s nice to meet you. Or going to be nice to meet you. Does it count at meeting someone to send them a message like this? This is going to take time to get used to.

Anyway, I'm here with one of my friends! My friend's name is Crona. Crona is a little shy, but very nice so I hope you'll be friends.

Ok, so I don't know how to end these things, so thank you for listening! I mean reading. I think?

[ SEVERAL MINUTES LATER... ]

Uh, does anyone know what is up with the sun? It looks seriously weird. Kiiinda creepy, actually.

[...Crona usually looks down, so Maka's comment prompts them to glance at the sun with some difficulty. They're not exactly in a zen place right now to begin with.]

Y-you're right, that's really weird. It looks like somebody made the sun put on a mask, how are we supposed to deal with someone who can do something like that?

[harmonic]

Uh.

[ It is admittedly disconcerted by the obviously freakish sun, but. ]

Maybe we should concentrate on other things for now. We can deal with that later. Or never, maybe.

[genderneutral]

Uh... yeah...

Do you think the moon is messed up too?

[harmonic]

That's...I didn't think about it, but probab--

[harmonic]

--Crona, I think we should concentrate on other things right now.

[genderneutral]

I'm sorry, it's just making me really nervous...

Um. Well. Uh, I don't think they're telling the truth about us either, it just sounds too far-fetched and... uh...

...

[Don't look at the sun don't think about the moon DO NOT talk about the weather Maka is counting on you just don't]

[genderneutral]

[SPLASH. Someone has clearly been tuning most of the conversation out for a while.]

What the hell is up with the sun? Did somebody piss it off and it's giving the whole island the cold shoulder?

That was actually what I was wondering!

Don't take credit for my ideas, you lump!

Um... anyway...

[harmonic]

[ SIGH. Ragnarok. ]

Okay. Crona, just...kind of...

[ She grabs Crona by the shoulders and kind of...turns them until Crona's back is to the sun and Maka is standing in front of them. ]

We should try talking to the people here and get some information. Y'know, so we have a clue as to what's going on.

[genderneutral]

[See good this is a step in the right direction. It's not Crona's fault they don't know how to deal with bizarre weather phenomena.]

O-okay, talk to people... I'll do my best...

Oh, great. You're gonna make me do all the talking, aren't you? I'm getting the hell out of here!

[Somewhat Very fortunately, he recedes back into Crona's back and exits the conversation.]

And... I'll try to find out if any of the others are here! Because we, um, might not be the first...

[harmonic]

[ Maka smiles. ]

Yeah, you're right! See, you're thinking like an Academy student already.

[genderneutral]

[A small nod.]

Y-yeah!

[harmonic]

So, you...

[ She kind of...stops.

Now she is side-eying the sun. It really IS freaky. ]

[genderneutral]

...You're thinking about it too...

[jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii remember this joke]

[harmonic]

[ She shakes her head and fails her arms in the face of the horrific Crona-glare. ]

What? No, no! I'm not thinking about anything!

[genderneutral]

It's okay, I know exactly how you feel, it's so distracting and creepy!

[harmonic]

...Y-Yeah. Let's...go find a place where we can't see it.
