001 ♥ VIDEO

[obfuscate]

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!

Er... I'm not really a fan of the "finders keepers" motto?

[Totally missing the point.]

Oh, no, it's more like everyone gets one when they show up here, y'know? It's just how the place works. I kinda gave up questioning why much of anything happens around here.

But yeah, free phone!

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

Oh, alright! That's a pretty cool welcoming gift! Though I kinda still liked my old phone... Ah well.

By the way, where is here? It doesn't look anywhere near Tatsumi Port Island.

You know, that's actually a really good question. Some say it's a dream world, and that there's people here from all sorts of other universes. All I know is, it's called Somarium.

[A brief pause, and then, it registers.]

Wait, you're from Port Island?

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

Um, yeah? I go to Gekkoukan High School... Why do you ask?

[The mention of different universe and dream worlds totally slip past her head.]

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

Well, I actually went on a school trip out to Gekkoukan a few months back, but depending on what year you think it is, you might run into a couple people you know here.

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

Wow, a trip to our school? That's pretty awesome! That reminds me of my trip to Yasogami with my tennis team... I'm glad that there might be people I know here, though!

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

[Buh?]

...To see what? There's not even anything there!

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaat?! You've gotta be kidding me! Yasoinaba's really nice, and peaceful... The Amagi Inn was sooo nice too! And the owner's daughter was so beautiful and mature, even though she's a middle schooler... A-And the steak! Steak! I can never forget about the steak!

[It was one of the most delicious dinners of her life.]

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

Well, she's a second year in high school, but I can't really argue with the beautiful part... [Jury's still out on mature.] And the steak is pretty good. But it gets old fast when you live there, y'know?

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

I can never get tired of good food!

[She pauses, realizing something.]

Wait, you're from Yasoinaba?

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

Not from, like, per se? I just moved out that way about a year and a half ago.

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

Oh! You're like me, then! I just moved to Iwatodai more than half a year ago. I'm hoping this stay will be longer, since I'm staying at a dorm.

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

Well, not quite, seeing as Iwatodai isn't exactly the countryside, but I get what you're saying. Where from?

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

Last one was Tokyo. I move around a lot, see. I'm more excited about living in Iwatodai, though! It's my hometown, after all.

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

No kidding! I grew up in Shibuya. It's a big place, sure, but maybe we ran into each other and didn't know it.

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

Maybe! Though... wouldn't it be funny if we did walk past each other and never knew it?It would be even funnier if it happened again when I visited Inaba.

Ah, which reminds me! I'm Arisato! Minami Arisato.

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

Yosuke Hanamura. Nice to meet you!

Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a brother named Minato, would you?

[letalis-anima.livejournal.com]

[Blink.]

H-How did you know that...?

[derpsona.livejournal.com]

Lucky guess. Unless there's more than one Minato Arisato, you'll probably bump into him eventually.
