[When the feed starts, the viewer is greeted to an upside down view of a mostly empty room-nothing but a bed and a desk with a backpack perched on top of it.] Eh…? Did that turn it on?

[There is a “Growlithe!” from off screen, and the video swings around before stopping at a man. He’s got blonde hair just long enough to be held back by a black

--Did you say your name was Fai?

Re: [audio]

[cheerfulfacade]

[Fai gives a small noise of surprise--apparently the communication device works after all!]

Ah, yes! Why do you ask? [SUSPICION. Anyone who knows his name in another world is probably bad news.]

[audio]

[psychunaut]

You came here before. I didn't really know you -- but I got one of your old Pokemon.

Re: [audio]

[cheerfulfacade]

Eh? I've never been here before!

[crossinggenders]

Eh? He's taking things really casually...!

Um, could you tell me what your friends look like? Maybe I might have seen them around here.

Re: [Video]

[cheerfulfacade]

Ah, of course! There's a princess--Sakura. She's a really sweet girl--she never seems to stop smiling! She shouldn't be too hard to find! [He gives a laugh. His gaze is soft, and his eyes were warm as he talked about this girl. He seems to care a lot for her.]

And then there's Syaoran. He's really serious looking boy, but he's a nice guy! [At least, if he was anything like the other Syaoran...] The two of them might be together, but if they're not, he's probably really worried about her! [As was he. His poor, poor Sakura...]

And then there's Kurogane! [He gives another laugh, but his eyes are cold and hard.] He's a ninja, really tall and scary looking!

[Cruz is mentally taking notes on his facial expressions. Then he'll smile and nod.]

Waaah... That sounds like a lively bunch you have! I haven't seen any of them, though. I'm really sorry to say...

Re: [Video]

[cheerfulfacade]

[Have fun noting his facial expressions! Fai is very good at hiding his real feelings from others. He's had a lot of practice.]

[He gives a laugh.] We are! It's a lot of fun traveling with them! [But, well, you know what they say. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. And well, he's the one with the eyepatch.]

[He waves a hand at him.] Don't worry about it! We just arrived here today, so I'm not surprised! I'm sure I'll run into them eventually!

[ Here have an up close picture of a very bored Growlithe while his trainer is tending to another pokemon... ] Growlithe? Growl! Growl!

[cheerfulfacade]

[Congratulations, you've gotten a surprised Fai in return! He blinks at the screen. Were these animals able to use the same equipment humans could? Was he supposed to understand what they're saying?

Thankfully for Fai, his own Growlithe seems to understand what's going on. He bounds closer to the screen.] Growl! Growlith Growl!

[ video ]

[sky_flame_on]

Growlllll, Growlithe! [ Natsu paws at the camera. Most likely pokemon speak for why are there people trapped in here? ]

Natsu? Natsu what are you doing? [ The picture changes to show a confused blonde, who blinks as he sees that his pokemon was talking to someone ] Ah, I'm sorry about that. Natsu has taken an interest in my pokegear recently.

Re: [ video ]

[cheerfulfacade]

Growlithe! Growl! [Fai's Growlithe--who has yet to be named--nudges his head against the camera, as if he was trying to get to where the other Growlithe is.]

Ah! [Fai hears a human voice and grabs the camera which, of course, is still upside down. Fai is a bit of derp with technology. But nevertheless, Fai gives a smile and waves a hand at the screen.]

Don't worry about it! They seem like very curious creatures! [Because Fai doesn't know ANYTHING about this world yet. And for all intents and purposes, he doesn't much care. All he needs to do is find his friends, find Sakura's feather, and it's off to another world.]

[Fai tilts his head to the side, curiously.] Pokegear? Ah, is that what this stuff is called? [He points his thumb over to the backpack that was left on the bed next to him. He's looked through it, but he's not quite sure what all of it does.]

Re: [Video]

[cheerfulfacade]

Ah, great! [He gives a laugh.] It would have been horrible if I was talking to myself that whole time!

One of them's a girl--Sakura! She's a princess and always smiling! [He gives a soft smile as he explains--it's obvious he's very fond of this girl.]

And then there's Syaoran--He's a determined boy, but he's got a kind heart. [At least, he would if he was anything like the "other" Syaoran...] He and Sakura usually end up together, but if they're not, they're probably very worried about each other!

And then there's Kurogane! [Even though he continues to smile, his eyes grow hard and cold. A direct contrast to before, he doesn't seem fond of this man at all.] He's a ninja, and he's tall and very scary! [ He gives another laugh. However, if you're the kind of person that's good at noticing these sort of things, you might be abel to tell that it's forced.]

Oh, are you a traveler as well? [And he uses the world "traveler" in a very loose way... World hopping is a very unique form of traveling.] I just arrived here today!

Re: [Video]

[cheerfulfacade]

[Fai is extremely helpful. Honestly, he's banking on the fact that most of the times, he and his friends tend to stick out like a sore thumb in these new worlds. He hasn't quite come to the realization that this is a world with people from other worlds.]

[Fai tilts his head to the side, considering.] Ah, well, Syaoran's not much of a Knight...he's more of an architect! [He gives a laugh because, yes, he knows he's traveling with an odd group of people.]

[Fai sobers up when he hears that he's from Toyko. Although, the Toyko he's thinking of is a completely different Toyko than the one Bakrua's from. The Toyko Fai knows of is a post-apocalyptic world with acid rain and sand worms. It's the world he just came from. It's the world Fai lost his eye in. He doesn't even consider the fact that there might be other Toyko's out there.] ...I'm sorry.

You know, they might not even be in this world.

[Squalo never did see the point of keeping anyone's hopes up pointlessly.]

Re: [video]

[cheerfulfacade]

Eh? [Fai gives a blink.] Why wouldn't they be? We all left the last world together!

[And then Fai realizes what the other man has said.] ...You know about other worlds?

[video]

[sharkfoodbound]

Everyone here is from different worlds. [Squalo shrugs] Even if it's not technically possible to travel between them where many of us are from, we still wind up here. Cut off from what we were doing or who we were with.

[cheerfulfacade]

[Fai gives a blink at this. Well, this was certainly more helpful that anything else he's been given.] Eh? How is that possible...? It would have taken a lot of magic to bring us all here. And for what purpose?
