Hm... how does this work? Do I just press here... an-

[video starts - Shiki looks confused, staring at the camera]

W-Woah! I guess it's starting to record... or something?

Hi! My name is Shiki Misaki, but everyone just calls me Shiki~ Oh! And this is-

Mr. Mew~

Hey! You figured out the guide faster than I did! Tch. It was obviously just pure beginners luck for you.

[groovepawn]

I figured out the camera part at least! I'm still not really sure on what other things this guide can do.

[feedmehumans]

It can do lots! But it'll probably take you a while to figure it out.
[Rumia doesn't know anything else about the guide other than how to work the camera either, she's just trying to be smart. >_>]
By the way, why is that thing named Mr. Mew? That seems like a weird name.

[groovepawn]

Will you teach me then? Seems like you know how to work this thing to its full potential!

He's a boy cat, hence the mister, and the sound that a cat makes is "mew"! Put it together, he's Mr. Mew!

not here yet! 1/3

[at first, Neku's just idly scrolling through the network as per usual. his expression is more bored than usual... he notes that there's an influx of posts today; must be another round of newcomers being scooped up and rescued from their worlds.]

[thenwhowas]

[then, he sees this.]

aaand action!

[thenwhowas]

[without hesitating, he leaves his apartment and starts bolting toward the new arrivals area. when he gets there, his eyes dart all around, looking for that familiar face. despite having been away from Shibuya for almost a year, there's no way his memory of her could have ever faded.

it doesn't take him long to spot her among the others in the sea of people. he makes his way over to her, not caring who or what gets in his way; all that matters now is that she's here.]

[groovepawn]

[Shiki feels like someone is watching her. looks around and...]

Neku! Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're here!

[bearmylove]

Mr. Mew.

[groovepawn]

[holds up Mr. Mew]

Isn't he cute?

[bearmylove]

Yeah, I guess he is.

[groovepawn]

...Do you like cats too?

[kyur4_th_itch]

It... might not be... There's... Well, not everyone believes it.

Uhm... can I look at that cat again?

[groovepawn]

Of course!

[holds up Mr. Mew]

[kyur4_th_itch]

Did you make that?

[[Sorry if he's like... REALLY CLOSE to the screen there, but at least it's obvious he's looking at Mr. Mew...]]

[groovepawn]

Yups! I started sewing a bit before I made him and... he was the very first thing that I completed!

You get over the total destruction of your world pretty quick.

[groovepawn]

It's no use being sad about it... right...?

[maskedbreathing]

Just seem strange. You don't have friends you miss? Places, restaurants, that kind of thing? No use being said about them, but we still are.

[groovepawn]

A-ah! I didn't mean to sound so insensitive about it... I do miss the usual places that I see.

But... my situation back at my "home planet" wasn't exactly simple. I guess... a change was necessary?
