[The feed switches on to show a dark-haired girl in her mid to late teens, talking in fairly good English. She has a bit of a strange accent though; it's probably closest to some kind of Japanese dialect, but not quite. There are hints she might be a little irritated, but she's trying her hardest to keep it in check. A small black cat peers curiously from her shoulder.]

This is so lame! I'm gonna get into so much trouble with school again for vanishing. I've only just managed to get my teacher to stop going on about how well I'm doing now I've settled down, you know?

[Quietly, almost in a mutter]Not to mention what will happen if that Sephiria lady thinks I've gone missing like the old days...

[Louder again] Hey, anyone out there? I kinda switched off when that voice was talking, so can anyone tell me where I'm meant to be going?

Hello~? Anyone listening to me~?

How'd I know where you're meant to go?

Video it is!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

[Definitely some frowning going on on Kyoko's end.]

I don't know either, that's why I asked if anyone did!

Ugh, whatever. Look, can you at least tell me something useful, like where I am?

video!

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're probably new. You're in The City!

[Obvious deep breath taken]

Yeah, you could put it that way. You make it sound like this happens a lot!

video!

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

. . . It kinda does. Everyone on this thing doesn't come from this universe.

Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

Wait, what?

That doesn't make any sense at all!

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

It's true, though. Everyone I've met on the communicator so far aren't from around here.

-- I'm not from this universe either.

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

This is so not cool. I don't even have my purse on me, you know?

Where are you from? Who are you, anyway?

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

I'm Bart, and I'm from Alabama -- well, not this world's Alabama. You?

If you need money, those tag things the Porter gave you have them.

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

I have no idea where that is! [Shrug] I'm Kyoko~! I come from Jipangu.

That's okay then. Weird, but okay.

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

I don't find it weird. It's kinda like holo-currency, only with no actual holograms.



Uh, I meant credit cards! They're kinda like credit cards.

Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

Then they should look like credit cards!

It sorta took a while, but you ended up actually being helpful! Thanks~!

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

No problem --

Hey!

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Uh, so ... did you find a place to stay yet?

Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

[Totally insincere apology time!] Sorry~!

Yep! Toph gave me directions to this MAC place? It's free, so it's probably terrible! I can keep Blackie with me, though, so it won't be that bad.

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Blackie's that cat, right?

Re: Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

Yep! Isn't he cute~?

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Sure is! The Porter let you bring your cat here?

Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

The porter? That woman who just laughed at me?

Yes~? He'd just jumped on me when the falling thing happened so maybe he just got grabbed with me?

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're probably talking about her. I never got what the joke was.

Man, I wish Dox did that when I was sent here.

Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

It's not a joke I think I'd find funny.

Dox?

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

. . .I don't find it funny either! Especially since it's so hard to get home.

My dog. I kinda miss him.

Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

People do go home though, right?

Oh. That's really lame... for you, I meant, not missing him.

Video

[outspeeds.livejournal.com]

Sure, but nobody knows when. And then sometimes they come back a few days later.

It's alright, I know I'll see him again eventually.

Video

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

You know, people keep telling me the bad news. Does anyone ever tell me any good news?

I... hope so?
