[The feed starts with a clear view of the cloudless sky. There's nothing really interesting going on here, until the camera is moved and Sanada comes to the view...

Upside down.]

Does this thing work?

[It takes a while before he realizes he's holding the gear wrong. He then quickly changes the position of the camera. Now, nost people would be

[Another one, even? What a surprising influx of new people...]

...Ah, Sanada-kun.

[Not that he's complaining.]

Yagyuu.

An explanation.

["It's good to see you" would have been a nicer line after that.]

[usedlaserbeam]

[Yeah, but who does that? Pffft.]

Implausible though it may seem, we've been apprehended from the world we know and brought to this one, a facsimile world primarily structured around a series of children's video games.

[And now that he's made himself sound completely crazy, it's time to dangle the bait in the water.]

I hardly believed it myself, until Yukimura-kun confirmed it for me.

[usedtarundoru]

[Yes. That does indeed sound impossible. Mentioning Yukimura helps in making it believable, obviously.]

Who else are here?

Myself, Niou-kun, Kirihara-kun, and Yukimura-kun were the only ones for quite some time. I was the most recent arrival of the four, Niou-kun the most distant. Jackal-kun and Marui-kun just recently put in their appearances, though, so at present it's only Yanagi-kun unaccounted for.

I see.

Have you already found your backpack, supplies, and starter creature? The latter should be in a red and white ball somewhere in your supposed bedroom.

[usedtarundoru]

I have found everything. I just haven't seen my creature yet.

The standard procedure for releasing it is to throw the ball. Something about the momentum seems to activate the locking mechanism.

I see. I will try that later.

I imagine you'll be contacted by quite a few people in the near future, both from our team and otherwise. The broadcast you made went onto a public network, and the local tradition appears to be inclined heavily toward welcoming newcomers upon their first contact with it.

[usedtarundoru]

Ah.

Apart from Rikkai, are there others who play tennis?

[usedlaserbeam]

Several. Shitenhouji's Shiraishi-kun, Oshitari-kun, and Tooyama-kun are all present, as are Seigaku's Fuji-kun, Echizen-kun, and most recently Tezuka-kun.

[Because of course, Sanada will be thrilled to hear about that one.]

I've also encountered Hyoutei's Oshitari-kun, Ootori-kun, and Hiyoshi-kun, plus St. Rudolph's Fuji-kun as well.

[So Tezuka was here. Hn. They settled the score at the Nationals, so he's not that stuck on Tezuka, but it's still a thing that makes him react a bit. Not that it shows on his face that much.]

I see.

The four of us--that is, what existed of the team, prior to the recent arrivals of Marui-kun, Jackal-kun, and yourself--have recently taken up permanent residence in Goldenrod City. It's the largest in Johto--the country we're currently in--and has the most resources available to its residents.

Yukimura-kun's garden, coincidentally, is coming along admirably, and its placement works quite well aesthetically in relation to the tennis court.

How long does it take to get there?
