Since all of you people are here now, maybe you can help me. Birthday presents ideas for when you're stuck in a place that doesn't require money. Go.

[How's this for a troll? Beat's been in town for a bit, but he's still confused as hell and so when he sees someone familiar, he comes lumbering up like the giant thing he is.]

Yo, Shiki!

[so_shik]

[What. What the hell? That's a voice she hasn't heard for a while and she whips her head around to make sure it's really him.]

...Beat? [She wasn't exactly expecting anybody familiar to be around. She immediately drops what she's holding and heads toward him to get a better look.]

[skater_brain]

Chyeah, who you think it was, huh? Ain't no one like the Beatster!

[so_shik]

[...yeah, definitely the same Beat. She's still kind of gawking at him though.]

What are you even doing here? When did you get back?

[skater_brain]

Uh....................

[Asking him these hard questions, Shiki. You should know better.]

....I 'unno. Just sort of popped up here. Saw Phones, tried to punch him for leavin' me back--

[Brain catching up to things.]

[skater_brain]

WHOA. WAITAMINUTE. WHY YOU HERE?! Ain't you supposed ta' be Phones' fee or somethin'?!

[so_shik]

What?! [Whoa! Wait! She's suddenly tuning in that this isn't the Beat she was expecting it to be.] Beat, where do you think you are?

[skater_brain]

....

[Looking around now.]

I dunno. Thought it was some kinda big ass park.

...Wit' snow.

Why? Where are we?

[so_shik]

It's something like that. Luceti. It's actually kind of nicer than the UG most of the time...

[skater_brain]

Dude, anythin's better than the UG. Tha' place is seriously whac--

...Wait. I ain't hearda' any place in Shibuya called Luceti. The hell is this?! SHIT. DID WE LOSE?!

[so_shik]

At least you haven't run into Minamimoto. He's been here a few time.

[jfldak. She's forgotten how...irrational Beat can be sometimes.] No. Luceti's not in Shibuya. It's...weird. Really weird. We won, and then Neku and I got stuck here. You and Rhyme were here for a while, too, even before the two of us got here.

Min--Oh, Garbage Heap? Ugh, like we need tha' dumbass stinkin' up the place.

[His brand of stupid is special like that. Although some of that goes right over his head, he hears the keywords like 'won' and 'Rhyme'.]

....She was here? Rhyme was....

[skater_brain]

[skj;ajf;aj not being a softie in front of Shiki. ]

We won, huh? Tha's kickass, yo. We was worried for ya, Shiki.

[so_shik]

[Yeah, she's just giving him a look at the mention of Rhyme's name. She gets it.]

Neku won, we helped. It just took three weeks for all of it to be officially over, you know? [She grins a little though.] At least we're all okay. You, me, Neku, and Rhyme.

[skater_brain]

Damn, tha's a long time.

Good ta' hear me make it out, yo. 'Specially you guys.

[so_shik]

You think that's long, wait until I tell you how long Neku and I have been here...same with Joshua and Mr. H. Remember them?

It's good that all of us made it out. We even got to see each other again in the real world, alive and everything.
