♕ neuf; [accidental video/action] (chip event part i)
[Tap tap.
Tap tap.
Very, very young eyes peeking out from rather pretty gold hair are inspecting this foreign object. He has no inclination that it's recording. The only thing that can record something in his time is a hand, a stylus and paper; or alternatively, a chisel on stone.
He leans back looking quite skeptical. This young boy is unamused, but ever so curious.]
Quid hōc est? Eh... [His lip sticks out and he backs away, dressed in the clothes as pictured in that lovely icon. He brandishes a knife, inspecting it, having temporarily lost interest in the strange lit device.] Lupa! Qui vir odiosus!
[THIS KNIFE WILL HAVE TO DO. But, next door, a THUMP can be heard. The child turns and even over the communicator one can easily hear a very British:]
--Oh bugger! Where's he gone to?
[Gaul's face splits into a childish, highly amused grin and he laughs quietly.] Hehe! [His expression turns playfully vicious and he fixes the knife at his belt--it's apparent now that he's in a kitchen, and he's looking for another knife.]
Flamma fumo est proxima, eh? [Temporarily satisfied, he crosses back to the communicator and peers into it. Something about it... it seems familiar. Clearly it's some kind of magic, but he taps on it again. He remembers like a dream--"use this"--
And-- Something else...
Something strange...]
... Salvē? Quis tu... ? Non... non intellego...
Francis! [A huff, the sharp shutting of a door, and approaching footsteps distract him enough to--well, they startle him, and he grabs the communicator, shutting it off immediately.]
[ooc: Regular text is ... Gaul, green is Rosemary/England.
Just as a note, I don't know Latin whatsoever, so I apologize to anyone who does know it. For characters who ICly know Latin, I'll provide the rough translation of what he's saying:
"What is this?" "Whore (she-wolf). This is boring." "There is no smoke without fire."
"Hello?" "Who are you?" "I don't understand."
Basically he does have his memories from Discedo, but of course they're more like dreams to him. Don't know Latin? Feel free to text him, the magic device that can send words will be an endless curiosity and of course text always translates. Expect typos and odd swearing. For the characters who can speak Latin, I'm just going to conduct it as "Latin" in the comment title (unless it's action of course) so I don't have to write it out or drag a scholar to translate everything for me accurately. LOL
ACTION IN DISCEDO IS GO! He will be wandering around/outside this apartment complex with a few knives but he is for the most part a nice child...]

Video; Latin
I want to help you, but this cursed box has you confined. A brainless man with a voice like thunder is trapped too. I'm sorry. Your ears must be in pain.
Video; Latin
...oh... the communicator. Oh that is so cute she can't help a little laugh]
No, no, piccolo, I'm not trapped. This is... a magic item, it shows us other people, so we can talk to them. I can see you, like you can see me, okay?
I can come and find you though, okay? And then we'll go somewhere safe.
Video; Latin
Are we permitted to use them? Do they bring misfortune if we misuse them...?
...
Wait.
Don't pull the cloth over my eyes! I won't be tricked so easily.
Re: Video; Latin
...What?
[Sighs, but really, she was just as bad at his age...]
Little one, will you do me a favour and look out a window and tell me what you see? Ah, a window will be a square area, that you can see through, but you can't crawl through, okay? The windows have glass these days, don't break it because you could hurt yourself, capire?
Video; Latin
... Why does the city appear dead...? It... it's so ugly... There are no trees and no grass, nothing green...
Video; Latin
Si... it is ugly. Now I need you to turn the little box you're talking to me through, so I'm facing the window so I can see out and figure out where you are, okay? And then I'll come and get you piccolo.

...little one, I don't mean to scare you but she's not really nice... she just pretends to be, to lure you in, and then she feeds you her cooking and you collapse because it is that disgusting...
...She's a witch, okay?
Video; Latin
Video; Latin
It's okay piccolo, I'm coming to get you okay? [Pretty sure she's found the apartment block he's in, now to just find which room] Would you mind going out into the hallway, out of the apartment, capire?
Video; Latin
Video; Latin
Video; Latin
And I will protect you. We will honor this trust.
You know my name. By which name should I call you?
Video; Latin
Thank you, little one.
[A pause, Romana biting her lip] Do you... know of Roma's grand...sons? Romano specifically?
Video; Latin
Of course! I don't care if they belong to Rome, they're my family, my brothers.
Re: Video; Latin
Well... this place, it brings people from all these different other places... I come from a world where... well. I am Romana, I am Romano if he had been born a girl Gallia. Do you understand that?
Video; Latin
... Mm... Is--
Is this how Britannia grew old and disgusting? But... You're beautiful and intelligent...
Maybe he was cursed.
Video; Latin
[Oh he called her beautiful and intelligent what a little charmer *u*] Si, basically!
...That is likely, I don't know him that well but if he's anything like her... ah it doesn't matter right now. Little one, are you going to come out to the hallway it would make it easier to find you you know?
heee so cute alsdjfalks
... Roma?
the most oh gosh
[She does turn her own off, slipping it into her pocket as she heads upstairs again, and by chance, it happens to be her floor. A genuine soft smile on her face she comes forward before kneeling down to reach his height, a few steps away]
Hello piccolo.
>3<
*u*
And slightly surprising.
But hey she's never one to knock back baby cuddles and so she scoops him up, cuddling him close as she laughs softly]
Someone's happy to see me, hmm?

Britannia, he-- He said he was coming to see me and I believe what you said about that tailed woman is true! He said he must. And he said he was going to hurt Hispania, that he was even greater than Rome!
I don't understand. Did I do something wrong by leaving Rome? If you are the sister of Romano, you should be small, and Hispania should be here, and Britannia would not have the soul of a demon! It isn't fair. I must be strong, I am strong! I won't disappear as my mother did! I won't let Rome or anyone else wash me away! If this is wrong, then I will change it so it's right.
I can't trust anyone. So--So I won't, but that does not mean I will break my promise to you! But... that means I trust you doesn't it...
I hate this, Roma. It's stupid and I want to go home. They only wanted to help me because they are afraid. I know this! I could not understand what they said, but I heard them speaking that strange language. They fear my presence here. They tell me pleasant things and hold knives at their backs!
If--If they do the same to you, I will strike them when their eyes aren't watchful and cut out their throats.
