[Balfour's about halfway to the new district when it hits him that he probably should put up a post, at least to let Reid and Amery know where he was going, considering he'd pretty much snuck out of the house.
The feed flickers on to show Balfour stopped on the corner of one of the streets in Orlea, listening carefully before just backing away to lean against a building.]
Hi, everyone! I know you guys haven't heard from me in a while, so I'm checking in to let you know I'm fine. Reid sort of brought up the fact that I seemed to have been avoiding people. I just hadn't been feeling well, and was avoiding pretty much anyone who wasn't my brother. Anyway, I'm still kicking and all, so no worries!
Anyway, I'm sure everyone has heard about that district that just showed back up, right? Well, I'm headed that way to check it out; surely it can't be all as bad as they say it is!
[He keeps saying this, keeps trying to convince himself of that. It surely couldn't be a living hell! Only, it was very possible that it was, and though he didn't want to believe the people who had gone in before him, he couldn't help but worry.]
Does anyone want to join me?
[Because he's not going to be able to see a damn thing, fog or no fog, and there was no way of telling whether it was dangerous or not, at least not in the way he was used to.]

no subject
Hell yeah!
...Wait, what are we talking about?
no subject
There was a broadcast by some of the district...lords, I think they are? Leaders? Anyway, apparently one of the districts showed back up and is all fogged over. I was wondering if anyone else wanted to go and check it out. They say it's scary, but surely it can't be so bad.
[He keeps saying that, doesn't he? Hmm...]
Now that you know what you're signing up for, would you like to accompany me?
[He stares blankly in the general area of the screen, wondering just who this person is. Had he met them before? Their voice didn't sound familiar at all.]
no subject
[Mituna thinks for a moment. Or, at least it looks like he's thinking about it.]
Yeah, sure. Sounds like fun!
no subject
[He shows the camera around. It's a street corner in Orlea.]
I'll be here for a while.
no subject
[He races/stumbles off the screen.
Eventually Balfour will see some guy in an odd suit running up to him, quite a bit later than when he signed off. He kneels over, out of breath.]
Shitty hell... I'm sorry. Got lost.
no subject
Oh, h-hi. I apologize. I know I didn't give very good directions.
[He stares off a bit to Mituna's left.]
no subject
The hell are you looking at?
no subject
[Oh, shit! He wasn't looking at Mituna! He turns just a bit to his right and looks at him instead.]
Sorry, I seem to have spaced.
[Only, that's a lie: he can't even see what he's looking at. He's still trying to hide the fact that he's blind, too.]
no subject
[Yup, totally clueless about that. Mituna wouldn't really care if he knew anyways.]
So, where the awesome missing place?
no subject
no subject
[There's a moment of silence. He scuffs his boot against the ground.]
So... should we go?
no subject
[He offers a little smile as he reaches behind him to subtly feel the corner of the building.
Ah. That way.]
no subject
Ugh, I saw that. I honestly don't know what they think we're going to do. It's probably just some kind of joke, right? [ huffff and scowwwlll. So not only is she stuck here, but she's having to put up with the people running it having brains like a bag of cats. ]
You're planning on going over there anyway?
no subject
[He shows the camera around himself so that Miku can see where he is.]
If you want to join me, just meet me here. And may I ask your name? I don't think I've spoken to you before. I'm Balfour.
video and text!
[....or, with any luck, his phone won't try pronouncing all of those as words. Oops.
Too bad hovertext only works for the muns, right?]Re: video and text!
What is "ez" and "p-l-z"? I'm not quite sure I understand all of what you said.
[Balfour tilts his head and plays the text-to-speech function again, considering. It takes him a moment before it dawns on him.]
Oh! Well, I suppose getting lost in the fog is going to happen anyway, so I'm not too terribly worried about that, and surely it can't be so bad. There have to be some nice shadows, too!
[Stay out? Nah, he's too curious!]
no subject
Another few seconds pass, and then Doll resumes typing.]
no subject
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
[At all. Though the last question is rather clear.]
What is Tray-es-to?
