[The video cuts in to half of Sazh's face, quickly fumbling to just jerky flashes of him or the general area of the baseball field. The feed cuts in to the middle of Sazh speaking.]

-there's someone over there. Hello? Hey! Come on you- [Yes, he's shaking and hitting the NV now, as though it will help.] You wanted us to go to Cocoon, we're going to

Video.

[aviatarian]

It's definitely on. [he looks a bit awkward, too, but trying to be helpful.] Where was where you were trying to be? Cocoon...?

Video.

[aldebarans]

[have a bit of a jump- the machine was suddenly talking at him! Wait no, it was actually on. Damnit.

Awkward time.] Yeah, noticed that. [And a pause.] Cocoon? You know, Cocoon? You're ah- you're not from Pulse are you?

Video.

[aviatarian]

[gaining a bit of your awkward, but not a lot.]

I'm from... Banten, actually. Japan. I've never heard of Pulse before-- where's that?

Video.

[aldebarans]

Japan? [Have a pause and a serious expression as he ponders. It's a little ruined by the chocobo peeking out of his hair.]

It's- that greeter guy, he said w were "taken," taken from our worlds. That can't be true, it's, well, it's nuts.

[proxysearch]

I'm guessing you don't have this sort of technology at home. And what...is that?

[aldebarans]

Uh, yeah- [actually he was. Not mentioning that at the moment though.]

Hey, what's going on here? Some 'greeter' was trying to tell me it's some new city.

[video]

[daddydaioh]

Is-- Do you have a pet chicken? But that's wonderful! I don't think that anyone has been allowed to bring a pet here! People have acquired them, certainly, and they've taken care of them here, but they haven't brought any of them from home! If only I had the fortune to have brought Antoinette here as well, but alas! Fate was not so kind as it was to you!

Er--now, there were some butterflies here, but I think they've all moved on. So there aren't any cocoons to be found--just miles and miles of Canada, one of the greatest countries in the world!

[Video]

[aldebarans]

[... Yeah, Sazh needs a minute to digest all that, Tamaki being the experience he is. The chick however chirps indignantly, fluttering in the screen. Chicken! Hardly.

Sazh sighs.] Hey, settle down you, you do look like a chicken. [There's a chirp before Sazh focuses on Tamaki a little quizzically.] Nah, the chick here's a Chocobo, he usually sticks by me. Probably the reason he got dragged into all this too...

[The chick perches on his shoulder and he rubs his forehead with a sigh.] Yeah, fate's been a real winner here. Here- Canada. Uh, can't say I'm heard of that region. This is Pulse, right?

[Video]

[daddydaioh]

[Tamaki leans forward, peering closely at the chicken--er, chocobo. It seems upset!]

A "Chocobo"... I've never even hear of those! Are they like chickens? Did I make it angry? Is that what that means?

Er--we have pulses, but this isn't a place called Pulse--this is Earth! Canada! North America! Ah, but fate really has been kind to you--Canada is a wonderful country, and Siren's Port a beautiful city! One of the best I've ever been to!

[Video]

[aldebarans]

[Have a short chuckles as the chocobo flaps around more.] Chickens? Nah, a grown chocobo is about seven feet tall. You've never seen one? Long legs, people use 'em for transportation. This little guy's still a just a chick- [it chirps and Sazh gives it a look.] I think you ah- ruffled his feathers.

[TERRIBLE PUNS ASIDE.] Well, I guess there are damn worse places you could end up at. So, how do we get outta here? No one mentioned a plane ticket back home yet.

[madeinoblivion]

Cucoon? Looks like you hit a lucky wrong turn. This is Siren's Port.

[aldebarans]

[sigh] Yeah, so I heard. You from around here, kid?

[video]

[madeinoblivion]

Now I am, I guess.

[video]

[aldebarans]

[muttering] Hell, they take kids too. That just ain't right.

[and back to Joe.] Name's Sazh, Sazh Katzroy.

Cocoon? Like with bugs and shit?

What, for your bird?

text;

[aldebarans]

No, Cocoon like- [have some hand gesturing of not knowing how to describe it] -like Cocoon! Held by Eden, over Pulse?

[have a sigh and a dismissive hand wave] Hell, no one else knows what I'm sayin'.

[weaktobullets]

...Don't really get what a lot've people here are saying, so it's good.

So what, it's a place?

text; fff sorry, I totally looked over it being text

[aldebarans]

Yeah, something like that. It's where I'm from I guess you could say. My "world."
