[ 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...?

[ Slow clapping. ]

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

...

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

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

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

[ Yuri shrugs. ]

At least look through things before you toss them.

... Yer kiddin', right?

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

So what yer sayin' is that the only cash that's actually worth anythin'... just got tossed in the water?

By you, uh huh.

...

FUCK!

[ There's the sound of footsteps and then a loud clatter as the videophone hits the ground, dropped carelessly as he sprints for the water's edge. The impact is apparently enough to magically jar the feed from audio to video, so Yuri will be treated to the sight of Takeshi flailing about in the water, trying to find the lost money.

... a sideways view, mind you, since the videophone fell on its side, but still. A view. ]

Shit shit shit shit where is it?!

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.

'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!

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?

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'.

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.

I can spar t' my heart's content, don't get me wrong, but it's not like I can jus' go out an' get in random fights. I'll lose my right t' compete if I do that!

[ He's still in audio mode so she can't see it, but she might be able to hear the grin in his voice as he continues ]

A gym'd be perfect. I'm sure it won't compare t' practicin' at my own place, but s'better than nothin'. Any idea where it's at?

Oh. Is this one of those honor things? [ She's aware of this concept, but doesn't really have an personal experience with it herself. ] Alright. I got it. You save up the good moves for when it counts.

[ And as for the gym. ] Yeah. Kinda. Hmmm. Maybe. Like I said I was just wandering around, but I don't remember what street I was on. If I pass by it again, I'll let you know! [ IF she remembers. ] I'm sure somebody else around will know where it is.

In the meantime there's always trees. You could hit them a few times, can't ya?

[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.

Honor? I guess it's a pro's duty t' set a good example fer people, sure, but really it's more about not gettin' kicked out of the pro boxing circuit than anythin'. If I get booted, all my trainin' doesn't mean shit, y'know?

[ Well it's not like he won't be taking to the streets himself - he'll have to keep an eye out, too. ] Yeah, lemme know if ya do!

Trees? Ehh... naw, th' idea is t' hit somethin' that feels similar to a person, keep yer body familiar with the sensation of that impact. A bag's way better fer that sorta thing than a tree.

[ 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. ]

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.

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

[ 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. ]

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.

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.
