[Sound of weapons being readied.]Hmmm... looks like everything's still working. You okay, Model A? Looks like we were both able to get through all right. But I guess I'm a lot like you now, huh? I can't smell a thing. Kinda weird... but I'll live with it

[proto_typing]

What? You're here?!

[selfmade_story]

Yup! Thought I'd join the party!

[proto_typing]

Heh. Well, I'd be lying if I said I'm not happy to see you, but...eh, anyway, not the point.

Where are you right now? Are you okay?

[selfmade_story]

I'm fine. Just... can't smell anything for awhile. Don't ask.

I'm here with a friend to get you out of here. And a bunch of other people, too, if we can manage it.

[proto_typing]

Oh, good, then I don't have to worry about cleaning up my socks before you get here.

Back to the other City?

[selfmade_story]

Your socks? Oh right, you're human in this city.

Yes, back to the other city. Where else would we go?

[proto_typing]

You say that like it's a bad thing!

Oh, I don't know. I hear the moon's nice this time of year...

[selfmade_story]

More like something I'm not used to.

At this rate, I think the moon might be a nicer place to be.

[proto_typing]

...So in other words, it's not a bad thing?

Wouldn't doubt it. So how are you planning on busting us out?

[selfmade_story]

Nope. I kinda like you like this, to be honest.

That's the hard part. We're not quite sure how it works yet. We're working on that now.

[proto_typing]

Oh? Now I'm curious, do tell.

Huh. Well, at least we know it works somehow, right? Since other people have managed to get out. So if nothing else, we've got trial and error to fall back on.

[selfmade_story]

You're somewhat less of a jerk?

That's what I was counting on.

[proto_typing]

Gee, really? I'm normally a jerk when I'm in the other City? ...Guess I'll have to work on that when I get back.

Cool. So how many other people are we talking about rescuing, here? Rough estimate?

[selfmade_story]

I really should be recording this conversation.

Other than you and Kaiba, two other people that I know of. And maybe anyone else we run into along the way that wants to get out.

[proto_typing]

It's that unusual, huh? Well, anyway, consider this my apology for anything jerky I said to you while I was over there.

Great, this'll be a party.

[selfmade_story]

Er... sure. Apology accepted. Is he being serious...?

Yup. One big party.
