first at-bat [video]

[ as the video turns on, you're treated to the sight of a confused looking young man. something that must surely be a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for a protracted period of time... though this one seems perhaps a bit more dazed than most. ]

Ah... hello, everyone.

[ despite his confusion, he manages a weak smile. his voice sounds rather calm, all things considered. ]

Let's see... I'm supposed to introduce myself, right? My name is Satoshi Houjou. It's nice to meet you at all.

Um... what else was there? Sorry, this has never happened to me before so I'm not really sure what to say. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Or am I one who's supposed to be asking questions right now? Hm... Can anyone give me some advice? Introductions sure are difficult. I'll do my best to pay you back when I can.

Oh! But we're saving the world, aren't we? Ha... that sounds pretty hard. I've never saved a world before, either. Well, I'll do my best.

[ side story characters are important too!!! ]

Alright then. [ hmm... give him a second to think about it for a while. ] Oh, I was carrying something really important with me before I got here. It was about... this big... [ he sort of gestures with his hands, indicating something roughly a little bit smaller than he himself. ] A big teddie bear. Do you know if I can find it somewhere? Maybe someone took it.

[PSHAW]

Maybe it was left behind in your world. I thought that people only kept whatever they had on them at the time... If not, maybe somewhere in the welcome hall.

I might have dropped it then...

But I'll search the welcome hall! It's really important. Um... where is the welcome hall?

It's usually where people end up at first and where that maid will tell you a little bit about what you're doing here. If that's not enough, I can try to give you directions from where you're at. [a beat] Do you mind if I ask you a question about the teddie bear, Satoshi?

Hm... if it was around there, I would have seen it. [ sigh. ] So I probably dropped it back home. That figures...

Um, sure! What do you want to know?

Well, at the very least, that should mean it's safe, right?

Forgive me for prying, but who is it for? A friend, or...?

Oh... it was a birthday present for my little sister. I was hoping to get it to her in time, but...

Heh, maybe that's not possible anymore.

Oh, how cute! I bet she'll love it.

[Luckily she has a solution to that dilemma...] About that--it may sound strange, but I heard that when you come here, it's like time has stopped back in your world. Whenever you return there, it'll be like nothing ever happened.

Someone else told me that too. That's a relief to know, even if it feels a little strange. It's kind of hard to wrap your head around it.

I'll be sure to get it to her when I get home then. [ it's not like he's already a year late or anything. ]

Yeah. To be honest, it still feels a little hard to believe, but I'd rather believe that than the alternative.

[a nod] And I'm sure she'll love it.

[ a pause. ]

Do you have a younger sibling too? It sounds like you know what you're talking about.

A younger sibling? Hm... I'm not sure if I'd call her a sibling, but I have a very important friend who often feels a lot younger than me.

I guess that's probably like the same thing. Someone you have to take care of, right?

Haha, yeah, I think that's the best way to put it. She's done pretty well on her own here, but I still worry about her, you know?

[ a nod. well, satoko can't really take care of herself at all latey, but even so... ]

You could say its our responsibility to worry a little.

[a nod back] I guess someone has to worry, even if only a little bit.

Yeah... [ sometimes he wishes that wasn't his roll, but c'est la vie. ] Oh, so your friend is here too, right? What's her name?

Her name is Sophie; if you ever run into her, I'm sure she'd love to be friends.

I'll definitely say hi if I see her. [ yay, friends... ]

Great! I'm sure you'll become fast friends if you do. [FRANDS...]

I'll do my best. Oh, and I have a friend here too. Um... maybe you already know her, but her name is Shion. If you ever see her around, it'd be great if you could be friends too.

Shion? Hmm, I'm not sure if I've met her, but if I do see her around, I'll be sure to say hi.

I'm sure she'll like that too! She's a pretty friendly girl.

[ she certainly does not tase and murder people. ]

Great! I'm looking forward to meeting her even more now.

[Is this really the kind of person she wants to get involved with...]

I'll tell her about you too.

[ probably not. ]
