[the feed cuts in with a shaky impact with... the ground. on the screen? One furry boot, and a hunched over figure, searching through some stuff in his bag. Looks like someone's prepared for the weather, at least. you can't see his face clearly: he has no idea what the pokégear that he threw on the ground's recording; none of your fancy technology

Why does everyone who comes here think they're dead?

video;

[allthreefourths]

Yeah. I'm used to waking up in weird places and all.

[pause.]

And now I'm hearing voices.

[lovemebrothers]

You must be going crazy!

video;

[allthreefourths]

... Yep.

Once those invisible people start telling you that, you know it's true.

video;

[lovemebrothers]

Other people think so, too?

video;

[allthreefourths]

Uh. Well. No. You're the only voice I'm hearing. Thankfully.

If I heard more than one, I might've had to question myself more than I already am.

[lovemebrothers]

I'm not a voice, I'm a person!

video;

[allthreefourths]

All right, you're person. Person that I cannot see. Invisible person.

. . . That is a lot more comforting.

[lovemebrothers]

Um, well I can see me! Maybe your Gear's broken?

[allthreefourths]

Gea--

[and that's when he perks up, following the sound of the voice to the... dropped pokégear and dusting the snow off it.]

-- This thing?

video;

[lovemebrothers]

Yup! It's a machine--lets us talk to each other. Pretty cool, huh?

video;

[allthreefourths]

. . . Oh. I see. Yeah, it kinda is.

[pause.]

Is face-to-face interaction taboo here, or am I just missing something?

video;

[lovemebrothers]

Well, we'd have to be in the same place to talk to each other.

video;

[allthreefourths]

. . . How far does this thing go, exactly?
