[The first sound that the communicator picks up? Is the loud, rumbling sound of Goku's stomach announcing itself to the city.]

Man... what the hell is going on here anyway? I must be lost. AND I'm super hungry. And the whole trip here there wasn't any food at all. That sucked.

[It's obvious that he's muttering to himself at this. He sounds...

Comments

[harrysbackup]

[He laughs. He can't help it. A perverted cockroach is just too funny of a mental picture.]

Don't know them, but I can tell you you're not in Kansas anymore.

[hungriestmonkey]

[He blinks. Wait, what? The little watch talks? How's that?]

Oh! Right, yeah. Not in... [He pauses.] Wait. Where's Kansas?

Are you IN the watch?

[harrysbackup]

Uh, it's a state in the U.S. and no...I have one too.

[hungriestmonkey]

Oh. [Nope. That doesn't help at all.] What's the U.S.?

You have one too? So this one's not yours then? Umm... so if this place isn't... [thiiiink] Kansas. Where is it?

[harrysbackup]

The United States of America. It's...a country.

Yeah. We all have one. And that, my friend, is the million dollar question.

[hungriestmonkey]

[Recognition flashes across his face at that. Not at the name. But at the word country. Goku's just chalking it up to "more stuff he'd probably have to ask Hakkai about"]

Oh... So you don't know? Are there lots of people here? I haven't seen anyone. It's really kind of creepy so far.

[harrysbackup]

Yeah, it can be pretty creepy, but there's a lot of people here. Head out of the gate and straight ahead. You'll find a bar called the Black Stallion. It's a place to start.

[hungriestmonkey]

A bar? [He perks up at that. ...not that he has any money or anything. And not that he's usually allowed to drink. But if there are people there, that'd be the best news tonight. AND if it's a bar, then that's exactly the sort of place Sanzo or Gojyo would go... if they were anywhere around. Well, ok, Gojyo especially. But any port in a storm]

Hey! Thanks for telling me! Not knowing where I was going was starting to really totally suck. You're nice! [Goku has spoke.] What's your name? I'm Goku!

[harrysbackup]

[Nice? That was a new one.]

Yeah, no problem. [Goku?] Uh, Thomas.

[hungriestmonkey]

[Huh.] That's a weird name. [Pot. Kettle.] But! It's nice to meet you. If this is meeting. Is it meeting? I mean, we're talking.

[harrysbackup]

It's like a phone conversation.

[hungriestmonkey]

Oh!

[Yeah, that didn't help.]

[harrysbackup]

Long-distance communication?

[hungriestmonkey]

Right! Yeah, 'cause you're not here. And I'm not... wherever you are. But we're talking! [Tada! Goku gets it. He deserves a cookie.]
