[ The feed begins, though the mumbling doesn't seem to be directed at anyone in particular. ]

" What I can tell you is that you're safe, this isn't a trick, and, no, we don't know any way back yet."

...

Th' FUCK is that supposed t' mean?! Ain't no way back? Why should I believe you, huh?! Here's what I think about that!

Eat shit!

[ An annoyed grunt, followed shortly by a soft splash as something light apparently hits the water. ]

No fuckin' pamphlet's gonna tell me what's what.

[ And then his voice raises a bit, as he seems to finally speak into the receiver to address his audience. ]

Yo! I threw all that stuff in the water 'cause it was pissin' me off, so can someone actually fill me in here? I hafta get home ASAP, so if you're a kidnapper just show me your ugly mug so I can smash it in!

[Not again!]

You threw away the money too...?

[Audio]

[supersmash]

...

Eh? Nah, I got my wallet in my pocket. Plenty of yen!

[leekspins]

Oh! Are you from Japan too?

[That always makes her happy to know they've got something in common. BUT WAIT NO MONEY FIRST!]

A-anyway, the yen isn't really good here, so it would probably be a good idea to go back and get the pamphlet so you can get a place to stay.

[ There's a delay before his response - when he does, the feed has switched to video, revealing a sopping wet Sendo clutching some soggy papers in one hand. ]

Yeah, Osaka born an' raised.

[ Apparently he just... doesn't want to talk about how he had to go scrounging about for the money. ]

[She smiles, a sympathetic tilt to her brows. It looks like he's embarrassed, so she doesn't mention it.]

I'm from Karakura Town, just outside of Tokyo. Inoue Orihime, it's very nice to meet you!

[ Slow clapping. ]

I didn't kidnap you, but you should probably go back and get your stuff before you starve.

Audio

[supersmash]

Starve? Whaddya mean? There wasn't any food in there or nothin'!

video forever bc i'm gonna forget to type it

[tenminutes]

No, but there was money that you could buy food with, dumbass.

[ Yuri shrugs. ]

At least look through things before you toss them.

audio until mentioned otherwise because I'm the same

[supersmash]

... Yer kiddin', right?

excellent

[tenminutes]

Nope, and whatever money you have on you from home is completely useless- probably.

[justboopit]

Whoa, someone sounds like they woke up with their grumpy pants on. Didn't anybody ever tell you that you need to just look for the chocolate lining in any situation?

I mean, sure you're in a strange place without any clue of how to get back home. And maybe you had a bunch of stuff going on that needed to be done to.

But you know what, it could be a lot worse! You could have woken up in the middle of a den full of Death Stalkers. Then you would have really been screwed.

Audio

[supersmash]

'Course it could be worse! I mean it ain't like I'm bound an' gagged bein' held fer ransom, or like I got my arms an' legs broken or nothin'! But just because things ain't their worst don't mean I can't be pissed off!

An' I'm fuckin' pissed off!

video;

[justboopit]

Yeah. I got that with all the yelling and swearing and grumpypantsness going on. But I got a better idea! Would it make you feel better if you could beat something up?

audio

[supersmash]

You have no idea.

Buuuuuuuut as a pro boxer I ain't allowed t' get in fights outside of th' ring... still, jus' a punchin' bag would be better than nothin'.

video;

[justboopit]

That doesn't make any sense. How can you be a pro boxer if you don't do it all the time? And there's got to be somewhere that has something you can punch. I saw a gym here in the city the other day. You can check and see what they got there.

[If she tells him information, will he throw her into the water too? It's tempting to ask, but she doubts he's in the mood for Yang jokes. At least she's not breaking out the puns.]

[Yet.]

You know, I don't think we've ever seen who's in charge of the Bay. We get messages sometimes via the computer, but it seems like the computer itself is sending them. Kind of like an artificial intelligence.

[Audio]

[supersmash]

[ Somewhere in the back of his head he's wondering why there are so many girls responding to his tantrum. In hindsight maybe he ought to feel a bit sheepish about it.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut he doesn't ]

Arti... huh? There's no way any computer can pull off that kinda shit, don't be stupid.

[ ... to be fair technology isn't quite as advanced where he's from, given that it's somewhere around the mid-90's there - hell, the videophone is impressive in and of itself, to him. ]

[Audio]

[solar_flare]

Hey, you're the one who asked. Don't get grumpy at me just because you don't like the answer.

[Audio]

[supersmash]

Didn't ask fer some sci fi bullshit.

[ A deep breath in... and out, and there's the sound of a muffled sigh as he rubs his face. ]

But yer right, I'm takin' my frustration out on ya an' that ain't right. Sorry 'bout that.

[Video]

[solar_flare]

Don't worry about it. Most people are a little cranky about being spirited off to a strange new place.

[She smiles.]

I'm Yang. I have a feeling you aren't going to like Nova City much, it's got a lot of that sci fi stuff you don't care for.

[redsnowangel]

[Just to make Sendo's day even better, there's a bored redhead on the end of the feed just laughing at him.]

[Video]

[supersmash]

[ By this point he's had to jump into the water twice - once for his money, and then again for his necklace of questionable importance. His demeanor is not unlike a wet cat, slouched and scowling with sharpened eyes. ]

Y'wanna come laugh to my face, you shithead?!

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

Don't you look a sorry sight.

What, did you fall out the pod or something?

[Troll lol lol lol. Yup, still laughing at you.]

[Video]

[supersmash]

What kinda idiot would do somethin' like that?

[ surely not the same kind of idiot who threw all of his essentials into the water shortly after waking up ]

I went in totally on purpose!

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

Uh huh, suuuure you did. You know, because what everyone does when they first turn up is have a little swim, right?
