[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!

Shinjiro-senpai! You're here too? That's awesome! Uh, how are you feeling?

[themortalhalf]

I'm hardly the only one of us that's showed up here.

[He raises an eyebrow, shrugs.]

And fine.

[hasleveledup]

I saw Akihiko-senpai. Talk about crazy! I can't believe I'm not dreaming!

[He pauses. That might have been a little too friendly for Shinjiro-senpai.]

Oh, that's good. Just looking out for my teammates!

[themortalhalf]

[Maybe. But he takes it in stride. He knows how Iori works.]

Back home, who's the leader?

[hasleveledup]

Huh? What're you talking about senpai?

[...Oh NO. Maybe...maybe senpai's memories are all messed up!]

I mean, it's okay if you forgot! Good ol' Minako Arisato, dude!

[themortalhalf]

I didn't forget.

[Hell if he could manage that.]

She's here, too.

[hasleveledup]

Is everyone here?

[Always late to the program, Junpei. But his best bud is here, so that makes being stuck here a little better. At least his friends are here.]

[themortalhalf]

No.

Just who you've met, and Mitsuru.

[hasleveledup]

Five's better than one! Or none. Wait, none of us here is best...

[themortalhalf]

Dislike this place already? What house did they shove you in?

[hasleveledup]

Well, no. But we obviously don't belong here!

[He'll get the name of his house right this time.] Uh, Loki. Akihiko-senpai seemed kind of worried when I told him.
