First Deep Slumber

[knifeinpocket]

[The sound of buttons being pressed can be heard as Sugata mumbles something quietly to himself.]

I can't possibly be in Zero Time, and I'm not on the island. I would have noticed if I were there. [There is a pause.] Heh, it seems as if I have found a way to escape the inevitable. However--

[He looks down and notices that his gear is recording.

Good luck with that "get back home" thing. I don't think anyone's really figured out how to do that yet.

[Greaaaatttt. Hope Samekh isn't draining the Earth of it's libido rn. Anyways he looks very displeased.]

Is that so?

[usedkunai]

[It's not like the earth really needs any libido, Sugata. Really. I mean. Yosuke is frowny, too.]

Yep. It's not like I've got any reason to lie to ya, man. This place is confusing enough as it is, you know?

[Whatchu talkin' 'bout? The Earth needs every bit of it's libido. What would all them horny teenagers do?! KISS THROUGH WINDOWS?]

It is. I just wish that this place took me after I was done with the thing I was doing.

[YOSUKE DOESN'T KNOW, OK. It's not like he gets kissed through the glass. Or through anything. Ever.]

Huh -- seriously? That seems pretty messed up. But hey, uh... from what I know, when you go back or whatever, it's exactly when you left. Or something like that. So maybe you'll get to finish whatever you're doing...?

[What a poor guy. Sugata looks up with slight interest.]

Is that so? Well, that's a bit reassuring. So time stops in your home world while you're here?

[usedkunai]

Ye-yeah, something like that. I don't know exactly how it works, though.

[knifeinpocket]

I see, well thank you--?

video;

[usedkunai]

Not a problem, man. I know it's not much, but it's gotta count for something, right?

[A pause, and then.] I'm Yosuke Hanamura, by the way.

video;

[knifeinpocket]

Yes, it does. Thank you Yosuke. I'm Sugata Shindou

[he pauses.] How long have you been here?

video;

[usedkunai]

Hehe, well, it's good to meet you, Shindou-san. You know, even if it's a really, um... weird? Way to meet someone.

Oh. It's about two weeks now for me. Maybe a little more.

[knifeinpocket]

It's not that weird, just different. [says the guy who saw galactic pretty boy wash ashore. Now that was weird. :|a]

Interesting. There really isn't any given sign of when one will leave this place.

[usedkunai]

Not that weird? Dude, you're meeting someone is a world that game right out of a video game. I'd say it's pretty weird.

But... yeah. I don't think anyone actually knows that.

video;

[knifeinpocket]

I wouldn't exactly call this place weird. Different, yes, but not weird. It's a bit refreshing to see a new sight actually.

[he pauses as he looks at Yosuke.]

We're inside a video game?

video;

[usedkunai]

Uh... I don't know if it's actually inside one. But Pokémon is definitely a video game where I'm from.

[knifeinpocket]

Really? This is a video game in your world?
