A pity I can't talk to one of them. [Instead of you, was implied, though in earnest he did find this Exarch guy more tolerable than most]

[Following the gesture, he scanned the area with his eyes. It wasn't hard to spot something that was glowing, even with all the neon signs around in competition]

Tremendous. [Meaning the opposite] I'm beginning to grasp the limitations you eluded to before. [Unless he had a new tournament or product to announce, it wasn't as if he'd want to broadcast to every person in the vicinity of one of these fissures] Ok, so if the fissure is right there, how come I'm not hearing anything?

[crystaltower]

Yes, I think I too would prefer their company.

[You’re not exactly pleasant to be around, Kaiba. Just sayin’.

Also I am a dumbass and the fissure is actually in the wall. The Exarch leans forward to adjust the poster partially covering the crack, revealing it in full.]

Simply put, another would need to be within range of a fissure. They don’t seem to be present where people tend to congregate... thus far, I have located several at the Shrine, one within the Lemon Cello, and a number within the living tunnels.

[He pauses, then deliberately attempts to send a message without saying a word out loud.]

As it works by transferring thoughts, I believe it might be possible to transmit to someone mere ilms away.

[Not getting offending when the slight was returned, Kaiba just smirked, seemingly pleased that it was mutual.

THE FISSURE DOES WHAT IT WANTS. Nothing could be straightforward about the void or how it operated. These fissures were an additional puzzlement, and he wasn't sure whose thoughts might have inspired them.]

That could be a good thing, considering the sorts of ideas people around here tend to linger on. [Plus that would limit the amount of times one happened to be woken up by said phenomenon] You've been doing your homework. [Almost sounding impressed]

... [Ok, now this Exarch guy was just standing there doing nothing. It was mildly unnerving for him to suddenly go silent. Kaiba looked over his shoulder to see if there was anyone approaching that might have interrupted the conversation but it didn't seem to be the case]

[crystaltower]

[...no response. Curious.]

Ah, so you did not hear that. I would assume not, then, but mayhap there is another factor in play...

[He waits, but regardless of whether Kaiba responds he continues.]

Apologies, I was simply... thinking for a moment. Quite what triggers the transmission is unclear. I understand others have sent their thoughts quite unintentionally, and I have heard them without actively listening for it. However, if I am not mistaken, you have experienced nothing of the sort.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[Still, nothing]

So- is that it?

[Or in other words, is that all you know about the subject, getting impatient enough to bring an end to the silence himself]

It was like you had a bluescreen error. [Unsure if the reference would be something Exarch would get] Doesn't sound as efficient as what I'm more familiar with, and no. I haven't. Are you able to send one of these messages? [That's literally what he just did Kaiba, or attempted to do]

[crystaltower]

Bluescreen...?

[It is apparently not something the Exarch gets. He tilts his head, but his puzzled expression vanishes quickly as he returns his focus to the task at hand.]

I did, in fact, attempt to send such a message just now. I believe your proximity to the fissure is suitable, so I wonder why it did not work? There is no marked difference between yourself and others here.

[blue_eyed_obsession]

I should have assumed.. [That Exarch would be clueless] It's a particularly common error users run into while running their computers that forces the system to restart to correct other issues. [Staring at the guy for a moment] ... Nevermind what it is, other than a hassle.

Just now? [Confused by this statement]

Is that why you were just standing there? [Looking back towards the fissure on the wall] Huh. I haven't heard a single thing.
