[it isn't a very long wait; Baku had been out already, exploring the places she had missed at night. When she arrives at the fountain she pulls out the device, looking around before sending a message]

i'm here!
look for the small Japanese girl in a gray jacket

[protectorofsmiles]

[Chirp chirp chirp

No response. In fact, said girl in a gray jacket might hear a ding coming from somewhere, and will find the magi-comm device sitting on the fountain.

The girl will need to follow instructions on the last message sent, perhaps.]

[dreamvour]

Ahh, I really have to do it . . .

[her least favorite thing, drawing attention to herself when she's in a form meant not to draw attention. She sighs and puts the device back into her jacket, takes a deep breath, and:]

Kuppi Kipp, I'm here!

[protectorofsmiles]

[There we go!

DOOOOOT

There's a tiny honk coming from somewhere, and then poof! A fuzzy white creature appears before the girl, tiny trumpet in hand!]

@($!"(#)$)! ¢{©¶|¶¢{®]??

[It's...speaking in strange whistle sounds???]

[dreamvour]

[normal people usually startle. All Baku does is step back, tilting her head.

Isn't this one of those - somethings from her friend's game? She should have paid more attention.

She politely waits until the whistling ends to speak]

Hello - Kuppi Kipp is your name? I'm sorry, but I don't speak your language. [she has actually never encountered a language she couldn't speak] Are you able to talk in Japanese?

[protectorofsmiles]

...

[Kuppi's purple pom begins to glow, and he floats over to the girl, touching her forehead for a moment. He soon back away.]

Test test! Can you understand me now, kupo?

[dreamvour]

[she reaches up to touch her forehead curiously, nodding]

I can now. That's handy. [she doesn't say trick or magic because really, she doesn't know what it is. Aside from that, meeting up to help with strange little creatures is perfectly normal]

My name is Baku. I guess no one's shown up looking for their phone yet, hm?

[protectorofsmiles]

No, not yet...I've been looking around but no luck, kupo!

[Sad, Kuppi's pom sulks.]

Is there anything we can check in the device itself to figure it out? I'm surprised I figured out how to communicate with this, kupo!

[dreamvour]

Maybe his messages . . . ? I don't think they'll mind if it's just looking for a name.

[she nods] They're simple to figure out, which I think may be the point. The ones in my world are much more complicated.

[protectorofsmiles]

[The little moogle floats over to the girl and hands over the magi-comm.]

Erm, can you check? My tiny hands are sore from all that typing, kupo...

[dreamvour]

[she takes the device with an amused noise, then moves over to sit on the edge of the fountain]

Mm, I'll check. [with ease, because she might be an old af immortal dream eater, but she's one who practically lives on her phone back home] You did pretty good, though. For your first time.

[protectorofsmiles]

Hehe, you really think so, Kupo? I learned by watching others in the park do it! Not being readily seen by regular folk can come in handy, kupo!

[Kuppi floats towards the girl to look over her shoulder, curious to see how she looks up the needed information.]

[dreamvour]

[she pauses as Kuppi floats closer and slows her movements so he can follow along, if he wants to learn]

It can, right? Is it a choice you make or just how it is? [she pauses scrolling, head tilting] Huh . . . someone named Genbu?

[protectorofsmiles]

Just how it is, kupo! Though perhaps it was a choice a long time ago and has been a thing ever since...

[Kuppi continues to observe, until a familiar name hits his ears.]

Genbu...? Huh. I know a Genbu from home! Though I doubt it's the same one that's here, Kupo.
