I'm telling you, I need to go back to save her from whatever he plans to do with her!

[Pictured: One ginger-haired teen yelling at the side, his right hand holding the phone which is pointing at himself, his left hand is cut off from the screen, though.

Not pictured and heard: The person he's arguing with.

Got that? Good, because that's exactly what you're seeing right now.]

...

What do you mean I'm in love with her? She's just an ally right now!

[There's a frustrated sigh as he then turned his head to face the camera, left hand dropping down right as he does that.]

Er, sorry about that, a-anyways, uh, they called us here to be heroes, right?

[The teen looked awkward about this.]

I would love to help, but I'm in the middle of something bigger right now, so if you guys can point me back to a plane ticket to Japan, it'd be great-

[And then he raised his left hand, showing a tomato, as he just glared at it.]

I told you, she's not my girlfriend!

[...Uh, before the 'argument' has a chance to continue, the teen is going to just. Cut off the feed because he's pretty sure he's now painting the first impression that he's actually a nutcase.

And before you ask, yes, that earlier person, was in fact, the 'tomato' he was holding just now.]

What?

[steelminded]

Because apparently I can now talk to all kinds of Fruits and Vegetables-

[...meat too but that would be a story for another time-]

[soulbonder]

[..,] One moment.

[he disconnects, but some time later he's right back on. still audio, but he has a banana now.] Can you talk to this banana?

...

[... ... ...]

Ah, looks like I can only do it if the fruit's actually near me.

[Otherwise that would be way too freaky.]

Re: video;

[soulbonder]

Oh, what a shame... [so disappointed. a beat.] Does this mean you can hear them as you prepare lunch, too?

[steelminded]

...I guess I will, yeah.

['No, we'll not scream if you cut us, boy, we can't feel a thing!'

Well, that's a bit relieving SORT OF.]

[soulbonder]

How... awkward.

[steelminded]

Comes with the territory of the power, I suppose.

[SIGH.]

[soulbonder]

Why in the world would the Porter grant you a power like that? Does she intend for you to starve?

[steelminded]

...I'm pretty sure there must be another reason for this.

[MAYBE...]

[soulbonder]

Such as...? Give you tips on how you should cut them open or extract the juices from their flesh?

[steelminded]

...Well, I guess that would be one way to use it, yes.

[If they're willing to cooperate that is.]

[soulbonder]

[mmm] Can you also hear meat?

[steelminded]

Unfortunately, yes.

[As if it couldn't get any worse, really.]

[soulbonder]

I don't envy you.

[steelminded]

If you find someone that envies me for having this power, just point him to me.

[And he'll tell him every excruciating details about it.]

[soulbonder]

Alright. [weirdo]
