[A confused blonde appears on the video, alone some place where it's dark and she might just be shivering a little bit--it was a little nippy out here for the dress she was wearing after all.]

Uh... What on earth is goin' on here, can someone explain? This ain't Dallas, so I'm just gonna to have to ask--where am I? And what happened to my plane

[What is this accent?]

You need to get out of the Darkness now. Was nobody there to meet you?

[as_a_lady]

The Darkness? [Okay, now she's even more worried.]

No--uhm, I'm all alone here, I think...

[er video and everything *fails*]

[killswithapen]

Then get inside. There's an apartment building nearby, or should be. I'd offer my help, but I live elsewhere now and it's dangerous travelling across town at night.

afkjjakd no worries! [video]

[as_a_lady]

Okay... thanks. All this talk of danger's gettin' me real worried here.

[video]

[killswithapen]

Don't worry too much. I'll be here to answer questions once you're safe, how does that sound?

[video]

[as_a_lady]

Oh! Thank you so much, Sir... Uhm--what was your name, by the way?

[video]

[killswithapen]

It's a pleasure, really. I'm Light. Wait--you know Sam?

[Yes, he's watching.]

If he says he's coming he'll be there soon, so make sure you're safe until he gets there.

[as_a_lady]

Sookie. And--

[Oh...] Yeah, Sam's my boss from home.

I haven't ran into anything yet, so I'm hoping that means I'm okay for now.

[killswithapen]

Tsuki? That's a lovely name.

[It's a long story, basically Light 'Raito' uses the same kanji as 'Tsuki', which means moon. Obviously without her spelling it, he's just gone and confused it. Someone will correct him some time, but for now just imagine he's mispronouncing it because of his Japanese accent; that's how it will sound.]

You probably are. In the bunkers now, right? There's coffee machines in a couple of them, if you're lucky.

[as_a_lady]

Why, thank you very much. You know... Light ain't a name I hear very often. Is it popular over there where you come from or somethin'?

Sam helped me get to the apartments, thankfully... They must have a lotta' people living here.

[killswithapen]

It's not a very popular name at home, either, but it's spelled the same way as a common girls name -- yours, actually. My mother thought it was amusing to choose a single name, no matter whether she had a girl or boy, so I was born Raito. I've always been very proud of it.

There...are a lot, judging by the noise some nights especially, though there have been booms of people in and out. After the Earthquake, the landlord decided to extend the free apartments system for a while longer, to allow people to find their feet again, so it's busier than usual, I expect.

[as_a_lady]

Really? I didn't know my name could be spelled in Japanese or anythin'... Think it's kinda funny 'cause Sookie and Raito [did she say that right>] don't sound nothin' alike... Think you could show me how you write'em sometime?

[She pauses, listening.] Earthquakes common around here? I hear the apartments are decent... Hopin' that's right. All I want now though is a shower and maybe a hot cup of coffee...

[video]

[killswithapen]

Ah, it's really quite simple. The word means 'Moon', and of course I'll show you some time. I can always drop into Sam's club if you take to hanging out there.

I don't know about common, but this one shook the place up quite a bit. Yes, though, the apartments are liveable, if not perfect, but some of them are still decked out from former occupants and you should be able to get at least that much.

[video]

[as_a_lady]

That would be wonderful... I'd really like that, Light.

And thank you very much for all the help--at least there are a lotta friendly people around here. Refreshin' to see when what I saw of this place so far is real shady lookin'...
