I really don't see why we can't use phones like normal people.

(coming from someone with a world without the internet or cellphones so he means like...wall in phone phones. anyways diego's had a rough go of it in the past few days and anyone who might be listening well might hear the yelps of various wolves behind him.)

Anyways, as my family tends to make a name of itself, does the name Hargreeves ring any bells? Or even just a little asshole who goes by Five? (love you too little/big brother!!!)

Beyond that...I had a hard time even getting into this place because I kinda made...some friends on my way here and apparently not everyone likes them. I don't know why. They're good wolves! They haven't tried to hurt me or anything.

But I also have no idea what I'm going to do with five wolves here. Killing them is not an acceptable answer, if I wanted to do that, I would have. They haven't hurt anyone.

Diego?

[Because of course it's Diego. At least he wasn't somewhere being executed for treason. That was a worry for her and Five at one point.]

Where are you?

[First things first. But shortly after that:]

I'm sorry, did you say wolves?

Not far from the palazzo? Apparently they thought I was some kind of suitor?

(oh thank god allison is here. he has never been more glad to hear his sister's voice. the past few days have been an adventure)

And yeah? I woke up with them, they didn't trust me at first but after a few days of traveling together trying to find any signs of civilization we kinda bonded.

... You would be adopted by a pack of wolves.

[She really should be surprised, but she's not. All the same, she's pushing up to her feet, making her way through the halls to her brother.]

Don't move. I'll be there soon.

[Suitors were her area of expertise, after all.]

Five is here. He's been looking for his family. He'll be happy to see you.

[gladiokinesis]

Five is here?

(well that could be both good and bad, depending. as to whether his brother will be happy to see him....he and five have a special relationship.)

you a friend of my brother?

[bearshermark]

No, I wouldn't call us friends. But it's in everyone's interest to work together.

Keep them as pets?

And why should we use phones with the aesthetics of this world? I don't want to live in that sort of trash fantasy. "My trip to another world with my smartphone?" No!

[gladiokinesis]

Well yeah, the idea crossed my mind but I don't know if I'll have space for all five of them.

...What's a smartphone?

[softheartedshizun]

Then perhaps sending them off on their own is the only kind thing to do at this point.

[ Really!? You want what, payphones? How is that any better! It's worse! It's WORSE!!! ]

If you don't know what that is, don't ask for regular phones.

Five is here. He's not that much of an asshole.

[gladiokinesis]

I get to call him an asshole, he's my brother.

[sankta]

I don't know if that makes him one.

Have you found him yet? I know he's been looking for family.

What do you intend with the child Five?

[gladiokinesis]

Talk to him? He's my brother.

[downswing]

He lives.

What's the problem with keeping them? If they want to stay and you don't want them to go, then let them stay.

[Says the guy who has never spared a thought for inconveniencing people if he's doing what he thinks is right.]

[gladiokinesis]

Room? I'm not sure if I'll have space for five wolves but if I could find a place for them...

(keeping them is still a possibility, honestly.)

[ Holy shit, Diego. Give him a minute, this is a lot to process. They figured when they found him, he'd be in the middle of some wildly idiotic plot to overthrow the local government if he hadn't already been arrested for his usual antics. 'Adopted by a pack of wolves' didn't even crack his top ten theories.

More surprising is that Diego actually managed to end up in the right place. Five could have done without the namedropping, but at least he knew to look for him first. ]

What do you know, you can make friends. [ Which also makes no sense, but he'll address that in a minute. ]

How long have you been here?

[gladiokinesis]

(look give him time, he has to learn more about the government before he can overthrow it. but he's glad not to be locked up again. and allison intervened before he was really made a suitor.

all in all, could have been worse.)

What's more surprising it is sounds like you've managed to. (two can play this game, five.)

About three days? Give or take? I had trouble getting let into the city.

[Ignoring all the other talk, he focuses in on the one thing that's promising.]

Would they hurt anyone?

[Because that sounds like it would be fun, honestly.]

[gladiokinesis]

I don't think so? I mean they've had more chances to hurt me than I could count and they haven't.

If you don't mind them being changed into small inanimate objects I can help you with your wolves?

[gladiokinesis]

inanimate objects? like they would be turned into toys?

[ that emilia di carlo has questions ⁠— phones? ⁠— would not be surprising to those who know her, relentless in her pursuit of answers and consequence. but she stays her hand, and general curiosity, in favor of asking the most pertinent question. at least for the time being. ]

Might you be missing one of your wolves?

[ welcome to team vannozza, diego. five wolves must be a lot to keep track of. ]

[gladiokinesis]

(....shit. yeah, there's only four here. crap.)

I am. He's not giving you any trouble, is he?
