[A teenager in a blue ball cap and school uniform pops up on the tiny screen, grinning smugly...yet also dumbly. He's got to be dreaming. All of this feels just like a role playing game, like in the Feudal Fantasy series! Or maybe Shade of the Giants? Whatever it is, Junpei's kind of excited and less worried about why and how he arrived here.]

Man, this is so cool! It's like a communicator watch from Featherman... [But maybe a little...dainty-looking. He's kind of afraid he'll break it on accident.]

Anybody hearing me out there? I'm ready to start restoring some color and life to things!

[You've gotta live for the moment! And that's what he plans to do. This is his dream, man. Nobody should be judging him.]

What? Dude, I'm totally the leader. And this leader rocks blue.

[windbreak]

[Yosuke might be judging him a little... but mostly, he's just grinning.] Aw, come on, man, that's not how it works! And if you were, wouldn't you have leaderly stuff to do besides just gushing over the communicator the moment you get one?

[hasleveledup]

You totally do not know how these games work, do you? This is obviously the way you gather quests! Can't be a hero without a job to do, am I right?

[windbreak]

Wait, first it's Featherman and now it's a video game? Geez, Hyperactive Ranger, make up your mind. What kind of hero just sits in a corner and yells at random people on the phone instead of getting out there? Who'd play something like that?

[hasleveledup]

Well, maybe it's Featherman: The Video Game! [Even if this dream-game sucks, let's face it: the graphics are SWEET. So is the dubbing.]

And you get teleported to this Asgard place to fight evil. Come on, don't tell me you don't think a communicator...bracelet is pretty sweet?

[windbreak]

Yeah, it is, I gotta admit... But for fighting evil, really? Unless you went around throwing it at people.

Uh, don't do that, by the way. [For some reason, he feels that needs to be clear.]

[hasleveledup]

Don't worry! I've got my own power! I just...need to learn how to use it. [He trails off, a little uncertain...

But the confidence reemerges quickly.]

But that shouldn't take too much time!

[windbreak]

Heh, someone's optimistic. So what did you end up with? Seems like there's a pretty wide range... and not much of a pattern to it.

[hasleveledup]

Telekinesis! I'm not too sure how it works, though. I mean, that's a super psychic power, right? I should be able to make things explode by looking at them! ...But not all the time.

[windbreak]

Dude, if you didn't know the word when they told you, you know you could've asked someone right there. [...Like Yosuke might have had to, although he's not going to admit that. His smile isn't necessarily mean, but it's teasing.] Haha, but seriously, I wish you could! That's the kind of thing you could really show off...

[hasleveledup]

I like to figure things out as I go! There's no harm in that, is there? They would warn you if you had some crazy uncontrollable power, right?

Aw man, maybe later on we can ask for an upgrade! [And THEN maybe they can make stuff explode?]

[windbreak]

Robot, Phoenix Ranger, video game hero... Man, is there anything you aren't? [He waves a hand breezily.] Nah, I'm sure you'll be fine! There's a whole bunch of people with these things, so you'd hear about it if one of them burned the whole city down by accident or something, right? [Heard from whom is another question, given some of the things he wasn't told about right away - but hey, no need to worry the newbie. ...Heh, does that make him a veteran already?]
