[The screen appears to be of a random wall/part of the ceiling at first, as if the device was laying somewhere, unattended. No. It hadn't turned itself on all by itself. A few moments later there was suddenly a puppy's face, taking up the whole screen. In other words, it was mostly just a black nose surrounded by white until it backed away a

Ah-another dog, huh?

...I'm a person.

1/3 video.

2/3.

[heroicity]

[heh, that was a bit of a funny response.]

3/3.

[heroicity]

No, no, sorry. The dog you've got. There's another guy here with one too.

[ofthewintersun]

[Oh. That would tend to make more sense, actually.]

Really? She's happy to hear that. Perhaps they'll get to meet sometime.

Yamamoto, is the guy with the dog. Maybe I'll clue him in.

Got a name?

If you don't mind, I'd be grateful. This way, he won't be so surprised if I contact him out of the blue.

[He wore a smile the whole time.]

I'm Finland. [There was a moment's pause.] I also go by Tino Väinämöinen.

He's not exactly easy to miss; the dog's a big one. But I'll tell him.

[another country-? ah, well.] -Shouta. Mikoshiba Shouta. Good to meet you.

Does the dog play nice with little ones?

[...cheerful little ones, at that?]

It's quite nice to meet you as well. Have you been here long?

Thinking about it, I've only seen other cats around. But he looks like he'd be all right.

[way friendlier than rodney's psycho kitten, anyway.]

A couple of months. [all the days tended to bleed into one another, so the exact date is a little blurry.] Around four, most likely.

I can see the appeal of cats. Though they tend to be more independant.

[...he'd rather not meet psycho kittens. Or, rather, let Hanatamago. She'd probably get owned by it.]

Ah. I guess the longer you're here the easier it is to lose track, huh?

One's normal. The other-[his looks sours, briefly.]-let's just say it's from outside.

[but it's not a problem, it was still stalking neku the last he heard.]

Heh. You could say that. It's not like day planners are filling up quick here unless you're a scientist.

From... outside? [That didn't... well, it didn't sound as pleasant as it usually would under other circumstances.] That's certainly... well, I'm not even sure what words I'm looking for.

[It simply sounds like Neku's made a friend of the cat...]

I suppose that could be both a curse and a blessing. Too much free time can be quite dangerous.

It belongs to one of the scientists, Rodney. [he complains a lot! about everything!] And the only thing it's good for is destroying things, as far as I know.

[it wants him for his pet chicken, if that counts as friendly.]

Isn't that right ... [he sighs wryly.] Some idiots here get bored and start useless fights in the courtyard.
