[ Sounds like a kid's voice, but Peter's just glad anyone responded. ]
About an hour ago. Where am I?
[ A slight pause. ]
And what year is it?
[ Another pause -- Peter wants to ask why there's so much blood flowing through a river he just passed and what the hell is up with all these dead bodies he keeps coming across on the road he's been wandering on. He's rather aware that he's pretty lost, having been aimlessly walking with no real destination in mind. ]
You're in some kind of weird dimension called Kannagara. Asian looking place. [Heavy panting, heavy footsteps can be heard.] Time means nothing here. I'm from 1999, but I think some people -
[ - a sudden pause. And then, a whisper - ]
- some people here are from past 2001. Or any other future or past.
[There's an even lower whisper:]
You have arrived here at a really bad time, man. Looks like there's another monster incursion here.
There's a GPS on the Hitomi you got. Just figure it out and find the closest shrine - it'll take only thirty minutes to get there as long as you have the place in mind. If you don't you're going to get ripped apart.
[ Okay. As if things weren't bad enough, he just had to somehow time-space manipulate himself into another world entirely. Thank you, Hiro Nakamara, who Peter doesn't ever remember meeting, but who that woman said gave him his power to travel through time. And presumably space, too. ]
What monsters? Is that what's killing all these people?
[Meanwhile, things are still calm in Yomisato...for the moment. So Ed isn't occupied killing monsters as Marco is...but he's still wary about replying to this broadcast. Because he saw that video of this guy regenerating. Regeneration is never a good thing. It's not a natural thing, and if he hadn't already seen a giant blue alien morphing onscreen and disproving his initial thought that he was Envy, he'd have immediately jumped to the conclusion that this was a homunculus.
As it stands, it's not an assumption immediately ruled out.]
I'm Ed. [An initial test of sorts. If there's a reaction, or if this person slips and calls him 'Fullmetal' or--ugh--'pipsqueak' his suspicions will be proved. If not...well, it won't disprove anything as yet.]
You're in a place called Kannagara. There should be a map on your Hitomi.
[Another voice. Another young sounding one. Is this world just populated with kids and dead bodies and monsters? ]
My Hitomi.
[ Peter repeats, out of breath. He's been doing what the first kid told him to do -- running. Towards a shrine that he found on the GPS the kid told him about. ]
Does all sorts of handy neat shit, like never getting lost and letting you break it over and over without ever having to worry about it. [Totally deadpan]
Oh, and it broadcasts your dreams so strangers can see all the crap that goes on in your head. [Isn't that nice?]

[oh good god, please don't tell him someone came in at the place he just ran away from (and really, how dare those monsters start ravaging around the himorogi -- he lives in the sacred tree and rather likes it there, thanks so much). well, no matter --
-- first thing's first:] I'm Zero. [right.] Are you alright -- [ah.] -- Peter?

[ He's been killed once already and is wearing a tattered and ripped up shirt covered with blood, tripping over dead bodies and running away from creatures that are still trying to kill him. Peter is absolutely fucking peachy. ]
Yeah --
[ A little out of breath. ]
Yeah, I'm okay.
[ Completely fucking freaked out, but that's another thing entirely. He can't seem to teleport himself back to his world and he's been trying, but to no avail. ]

Do you -- [he really shouldn't, he really shouldn't offer as he has to go and find lelouch (and maybe c.c.) and secure him as quickly as possible, but --] -- do you need help? Where are you?

Some kid told me to follow my GPS to a shrine, and I just got here.
[ Peter's looking around, surveying the ragged crowd. ]
There's a lot of people here. Women and children, too.
[ He's starting to realize that they would be pretty much defenseless against these monsters if they all converged on this spot. ]
...there's no way this place is gonna keep the monsters out.
[ From what Peter can tell, it's just a building, like any other.
Or, in other words: yes, he can use some help, because he doesn't know anything about this world. But what he does know is it isn't quite as bad as the one he left behind -- at least in this world, ninety-three percent of the population isn't dead, and he isn't the one who is the only person who can apparently change that fact. ]
[Never one to ignore help when it's asked for, Goku answers when he finally stumbles upon this message. It's been a bit crazy today, not one for having the leisure of checking his Hitomi as often as he might on a normal day. Goku looks a little winded when his image flickers on screen. He stands in a street, his red staff propped up against his shoulder.]
[This Peter guy looks pretty messed up on the outside, but at least he's conscious and (Goku assumes) safe enough to reply back. It's possible that it's all someone else's blood on him - there's plenty of nasty stuff out there to keep anyone busy.]
Hmm, okay. I'm Goku, by the way. My village is kind of overrun right now, so uh...I'd stay away from Hisato, if you're anywhere near it.
I'm at a shrine. Things seem to be a little safer here, but it's really crowded.
[ Goku doesn't seem very scared, so Peter assumes that he can probably somehow take care of himself. He probably has some kind of power or ability. It's strange, the realization that Peter's not the only one. That others can do things too. ]
You should get to a shrine if you aren't there already.

A little help? Dude, I think everyone needs it at this point. Did you just arrived?

[ No, seriously. Back up. ]
Did you say another dimension?

Hey! Are you okay?

As okay as I can be, given the circumstances.
[ He hasn't seen this -- guy? kid? kind of hard to tell, but he looks young -- before. ]
