001 ♥ VIDEO

Hellooooooo?

[The screen shows a pair of red eyes staring into the camera. Finally realizing that she was holding the phone too close, the camera was pulled back to reveal a brown-haired girl wearing a pair of red headphones and a black school uniform that may look familiar to some.]

So, I found this phone in my pocket, and I'm wondering if anyone lost it? I mean it is a pretty cool phone. It's can do all these cool things, and this video call function is kinda nifty too. So I'd like to return it to its rightful owner.

[She pauses, looking upwards a bit as she became deep in thought. She then made a small "ah" noise upon realizing something, and looked back down at the camera.]

I almost forgot... Where am I? I didn't know I sleepwalked... This is my first time encountering such a strange thing... Well, anyway, I'd like to go home so could I get directions to----

[As if on cue, her stomach rumbles rather audibly.]

... er, to a nice restaurant? If it's going to be a long trip, I wanna eat first!

[There isn't exactly a welcoming community in Somarium yet, though Minato's taken the liberties of welcoming and giving newcomers basic information when he catches them on the network feed. Sometimes he looks at the caller ID, other times he doesn't. They will end up introducing themselves, anyway.]

[This is one of the times that he didn't - though the video feed itself was enough to give him pause.]

[...Whoa okay maybe she DOES look 10 years older, but the hair color and the eyes - the eyes. That upbeat and bright shade of warm vivid auburn are unforgettable.

Except that well. This. How is this possible? She looks his age - well yes, of course, but-

It's rare to get Minato agitated. He can't deny to be that now, however. Caller ID, caller ID...]

[Sure, he's brought upon a miracle already on the last day of January. He made one happen and witnessed it with his own eyes. This... Seeing her like this is certainly a miracle, too. He knows what a miracle is and has long already accepted their existence and the fact that they CAN be achieved. But then, so why is this difficult to accept? It's another sort of miracle, and certainly something to rejoiced for.

...Nah, he knows what's wrong. He's still human, and right now, this is just shock. He can smile until his face falls off in a bit - maybe starting now, as he begins to recover and wonder just what would she think, to see him too.]

6/done sorry for the spam o/;

[So for now... He'll just greet her like he always did when they were kids. A faint and quiet smile, and a semi-witty and casual remark.]

...Nah, you didn't sleepwalk. The restaurants are varied here. What do you feel like having?

[Well, that was convenient! Such a nice guy, to offer her directions to a place to eat. She beams happily at the notion of her hunger being satisfied.]

Oh, well, I'm kinda in the mood for rame---

[She suddenly cuts herself off when she finally gets a good look at this person, her jaw dropping slightly. He looks a lot like...]

.....

[Her bright expression becomes sullen for a moment as she stared at him. No... It can't be. That was impossible. Still... She had this huge nagging feeling...]

Done

[She reverts back to a bright smile. It wouldn't hurt to say something about it, right...?]

Hey, um... This may sound a bit weird, but... You look a lot like someone I know.

[He lets her surprise run its course: he just went through the same thing, after all. She's also even gotten more energetic than he remembered, though truly, it has been a long time.

He's usually a pretty direct guy, despite the fact that he conveys his messages in a calm and laid-back fashion. Being vague and purposefully dodging the point weren't things he'd do in serious situations. ...Usually, but this situation is beyond exceptional, so breaking a few habits may only be expected.

...Or really, wasn't that already in his habit, albeit a very, very old one, and he just simply didn't get the chance to make use of it again, ever since then?

So in response, he just maintains his soft outlook. He briefly address her statement, but doesn't explain--]


Not at all. This phone is yours, and there's a GPS system on the main menu. Can you tell me where you are, and I'll let you know where the nearest restaurant is? I'll come and meet you as quickly as I can. ...We might have a lot of catching up to do, I think. [--though that may be because his eyes might've already done so.]

[Wow, talk about cryptic. Minami's head was practically flooded with a horde of question marks right now.]

Ummm... It might take me a while to get used to the functions, but if it helps I can see a lake from here. I'm glad I didn't fall in it or something!

[He chuckles - and takes note of her earphones. Same model but red, huh?]

Then I'd bring you a towel and a change of clothing. It's summer, so it shouldn't have been that bad.

Do you see a lighthouse, too?

Summer? Really...? I could have sworn it was Autumn since it's November...

[Apparently someone didn't bother to look at the date on the phone.]

Besides, I think I'd still prefer not falling in. This MP3 player isn't exactly a waterproof thing... But anyway, yeah! I see a lighthouse. I don't understand why there would be one... They're usually near oceans!

It should be early March when I first arrived, but here, it was January. Time and space work differently in this world. Doesn't it feel warmer, too?

That's a really good point. You haven't, though, so let's be glad of that. [He then nods lightly: that confirms her location. The only lake with a lighthouse around it was lake Meridian.] ...A lot of things here are strange, so I stopped thinking too hard about it. Have you looked up at the sky yet? There's a floating mountain and a floating castle, and they should be visible.

[Following his directions, Minami looks up at the sky.]

....

[She blinks once. And blinks twice.]

[And then her expression brightens up again.]

AWESOME! This place really is a 'dream world'!

[identity profile] carpo-vita.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
It's why this world is called "Somarium". It's derived from Latin, if I recall correctly.

Would you prefer for me to come get you, or meet directly at the local cafe? You're not that far.

[identity profile] letalis-anima.livejournal.com 2010-07-22 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Er... I think it'd be better if I had someone to follow. I think I might get lost... Ahahahaha...

[identity profile] carpo-vita.livejournal.com 2010-07-23 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
No problem. Would you mind giving me your coordinates, then? You can see them by [INSERT INSTRUCTIONS HERE they are simple and to the point :Db;]. What are the numbers?

[And as he talked on the video feed, if she paid attention, his background was already moving; he doesn't know where she is exactly yet, but he's got a good enough idea to know the overall direction.].

[identity profile] letalis-anima.livejournal.com 2010-07-24 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes they are. Minami fiddles with the phone for a bit and...]

Oh! They're [Insert numbers here mun is lazy.]! Wow, I didn't know it could do that! This is more awesome than I thought!

[identity profile] carpo-vita.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
The Dreamberry is fancier than your regular cellphone, and most of its functions are pretty user intuitive. Why don't you look that over in the meanwhile? I'll be there as soon as I can.

((OOC: Do you want to commentlog it here, or backdate a log in the main comm? Minato is DEFINITELY going to want her to stay at the dorm Hotel Dusk, and I'd hate for this to create retcon issues, but it's likely that she would have met Akihiko before the end of the night, and parallel universes and other mindscrews would be "resolved" then. :D; Let me know what you'd like/works best for you? o/;;]

[identity profile] letalis-anima.livejournal.com 2010-07-25 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! I'll do just that! That's sure to keep me busy!

((ooc: I think a backdated log at the main comm would be more reasonable. Luckily, there's no major retcon-damage. :'D Would you like me to make the post, or do you want to do it?))

[identity profile] carpo-vita.livejournal.com 2010-07-27 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll be fine. She always were, after all. Unable to stop smiling to himself, he'll just do what he said and be there asap. :|b]

((OOC: Fair enough. You can go for it! Feel free to make two threads. One for them after they meet/jump directly to the cafe, and one to meet Aki, maybe? Up to you though, whatever you think best/easiest! o/))
