[ Through a series of fiddling, fumbling and prodding Oz manages to activate the video feed on his device; he appears to be reading some form of instruction off a piece of paper nearby. ]

-have to push the button and then it should be...?

[ He looks from paper, to device, to paper, to device again before blinking. ]Oh, I think that's- So it's

[What a pleasant person! Ginshu absolutely understands his fascination with the communicator... He smiles.]

Does this sort of thing happen to you often?

[oztensible]

[ Oh, people can reply like that and everything? He peers curiously at the screen before smiling cheerfully. ]

More than I'd like, that's for sure!

You must lead a very exciting life!

I am Ginshu -- I only just arrived as well, so I'm afraid I won't be very much help with any of your questions, but welcome.

[oztensible]

Well, that's one way of looking at it...!

[ Exciting, emotionally traumatic, it's all the same thing, right? Totally! He doesn't extrapolate on the matter, simply beaming at the man on the other side of the screen. ]

You too, huh? Well, it's nice to meet you, Ginshu! I guess we can both get used to this place together, huh?

[ finally, someone speaking his language ]

Oodle Noodle!

Oh yeah- and there's a war going on. But I guess they said that on the tour, right?

"Oodle Noodle?"

[ What a weird name 8| ]

Is it good...?

[ Then he smiles, shrugging one shoulder. ]

Yeah, I guess it's time for a brand new battle for me to jump into! I'm still trying to figure out this whole weapon and meister business, too.

The oodle noodle specials are the best! Even if the place is kinda hard to find. Maybe- maybe don't have the sake though...

[ as the words trail off, he appears appropriately derailed and blinks owlishly into the device. ] What part of it don't you get?

It's been awhile- since all this was new to me.

I hope it's not too hard to find, I got lost on my way to my apartment to begin with!

[ A pause. ]

...What's "sake?"

[ He has no idea who this person is... but frankly he's taking a liking to him already. Something about his smile sets well with him. ]

I guess I get most of it but, well... I don't really know where to start. I haven't gotten to check around a lot so far but it doesn't... it doesn't look like anyone I know is here.

[ He's still smiling, but it doesn't exactly reach his eyes. ]

Are you saying you've woken up in other worlds before?

voice;

[oztensible]

Um, well...

Unfortunately, yes?

voice;

[price_of_sin]

How did you arrive at them? The same as here?

[ video ]

[nolicenseyet]

This has happened to you before?

video;

[oztensible]

Sort of! I have to say, this place is a lot more cheerful than the last weird place I woke up in!

[ Nothing says "creepy and weird" like the Abyss. ]

So I guess it could be worse, right?

[...could it? Then she remembered the time she woke up to find herself strapped to an examination table with a doctor hovering over her, telling her she wanted to dissect her to see what made her tick and she frowned noticeably.]

It could.

....This isn't your first time waking up somewhere utterly different from where you went to sleep?

[oztensible]

Second time, actually!

[medicus_sanctum]

That can't be normal. Have you been here before?
