[Video| 1st note]

[The image is very staged, as if the teenager had rehearsed and settled himself carefully. He's sitting down, with a notebook on his lap, and he smiles at the screen with his best friendly look. He's dressed very neatly, a sweater vest with a tie visible in the picture. A very plain metal bracelet hangs on his wrist, opposite the one with the communicator bracelet on it.]

Excuse me. This is a little awkward, but I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a strange situation.

[He holds his pen above his notebook, as if he might be about to doodle to help himself think.]

I've heard that I've been here before? I don't remember, so I want to talk to anyone who has had a similar situation, or those who might have known me before. For those of you who don't, my name is Gau, I live at Sigyn House, and I would love to hear anything useful you can tell me about people coming and going this way here.

[He clears his throat, unsure how to end the video, and finally settles for a small bow toward the screen, which if anything looks awkward.]

Oh! So it seems like we're from about the same time, but... our lives must be really different. If you deal with ghosts and I deal with ninja and samurai.

[He laughs at that.]

[holyfight]

Uhn! We don't really have ninja and samurai in the human world back home! So maybe it's just an alternate universe!

[teacuptarget]

It could be! Or it could be that you just don't know. It's a secret after all. I only found out because one of them saved my life.

[holyfight]

[le gasp!]

That's true! Maybe we just never ran across each other because they're all secret!

[teacuptarget]

That could be it! It's kind of an exciting idea.
