[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~?

And in my world, I'm just a lowly doctor! But here, in the City, I'm just as much a hero as everyone else! And apparently, the rowbutt woman believes you are, too!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

She must have gotten really confused then~! Maybe she was aiming for Mr Black?

I'm not a hero at all.

[crabulous]

Perhaps! But you're here now! And that means you're one of us! Congratulations!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

This isn't something I want to be congratulated on! This is awful!

[crabulous]

What's so awful about being surrounded by new friends and having magical powers? I think it's wonderful!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

I already had the powers! I've only just got used to not using them. I had friends back home, too!

[crabulous]

Oh! What I wouldn't give to have friends of my very own...

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

It's not that hard~! Well, okay, maybe it would be for you. I never really have a problem with it.

[crabulous]

That's the best part about the City! There are lots of people to attempt to befriend!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

Uh, yeah, I suppose you could look at it like that. How's that working out for you so far?

[crabulous]

Well, I have three adoptive grandchildren and two great-nieces to look after! So I'd say it's working splendidly!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

That sounds really nice for you~! Congratulations!

[crabulous]

Oh, my! Thank you! Really, the City is a lovely place, once you get used to being in another universe!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

I don't think it will take long to get used to! It's really not much different to home, except for the language and the funny looks I keep getting.

[crabulous]

That's lucky for you! I come from the future!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

[Mildly skeptical] Oh really?

[crabulous]

Indeed! It's the year 3009 where I'm from!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

If you say so~! What's it like in 3009 then?

[crabulous]

It's wonderful! We have amazing technology and fantastic TV programs!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

I think I've had enough technology for now~!

What did you used to watch~? I didn't used to get much time to watch TV, but I started watching some of the dramas lately... aww, no! Some of them were just getting to the good bit and now I might not see them for ages~!

[crabulous]

My favorite program is called "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad"! It's a wonderful romp! Fun for the whole family! All Glory To The Hypnotoad!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

That really doesn't sound like an interesting show. It sounds kinda lame.

[crabulous]

It's a laugh a minute!

[inner-fires.livejournal.com]

Okaaay. Seriously weird now~!

[crabulous]

Weird and wonderful! If only this world had the same quality programing...
