[Computers aren't out of the ordinary in Shibuya, but whatever this is, it's like some weird sci-fi movie device, and not anything Neku is used to. He has a computer at home that he barely uses, and it's a big, clunky thing. This thing is tiny and delicate-looking, and honestly, he feels like he might break it if he sneezes at it or something.

Typing on this... might be slow.]

so i guess no one here is from shibuya huh

[He doesn't type anything else for a few seconds, because... really, what is he supposed to say? He doesn't exactly use computers for social things.]

im neku

[--and then the video comes on, rather abruptly as his finger slips after pressing enter. There's a face visible, bleached-orange hair sticking down in front of a pair of wide blue eyes that are quickly narrowing.]

Rrgh... Where'd the text box go? Who even makes a keyboard this tiny...

[Hopefully no one gets ill from motion sickness easily, because the video suddenly skews all over the place, clearly being moved. It's over before long, though, with the video finally settling to show the front of a blue and black shirt. And just as quickly as the video feed started, it ends with the closing of the netbook.]

[Lea makes a face, sounding out the word.] Shi...buya? Nope! Never heard of it. Is that your world? I'm from Radiant Garden.

Lea! Nice to meet you, Neku.

[--oh. This thing records? Uh. He guesses this thing is on video already, so...]

... yeah. [What kind of place is called "Radiant Garden"-- no, nevermind. He's heard weirder.] Nice to meet you too, I guess.

So you just got here, right? Have you found your room yet?

Yeah. I found it.

[Even if no one had been there when he stopped by to look at it.]

Okay, so you're doing better than me. I had to ask directions.

I haven't been here all that long... but do you have any questions? I mean, maybe I can answer a couple of them!

[... to tell the truth, he's not even sure what kind of questions to ask, let alone what questions he has to ask in the first place. Admittedly, he's still a little overwhelmed here. Suddenly waking up 1300 years in the future is... pretty damn disorienting.]

... don't guess the name Shiki sounds familiar.

Shiki? Is that a friend of yours?

-- sorry. I haven't met anybody named that. My best friend's still back home, too....

I know where that is... I originally hail from Kyoto.

... what, really?

[Huh. So there are people here from Japan after all.]

Yes, really. I lived in Tokyo until I decided to become a ronin.

Small world, I guess.

So it seems.

[... yeah. And what is he supposed to say to you now? Small talk isn't his forte.]

... how long have you been here?

[ A pity since small talk is one of Takegami's many skills. ]

It would almost be four months. It isn't the worse place I have been, although I find some of the long periods of boredom rather tedious.

Figured out how it works yet?

[... huh. Guess it makes audio calls, too.]

This thing? ... I guess. Not like it's hard to.

Some people haven't ever seen one when they come in.

Welcome to Exsilium.

I've just... never really used one.

... thanks, I guess. [Even if he would really rather be at home in bed, like he had been. Maybe this was a weird lucid dream or something.]

[Whoa, if that's what he did to everyone else when he got here, he's sorry.

Anyway, he's jerking a finger at himself.]

Sora! You need any help?

[... jeez, jumping right in, aren't you.]

With what?

[When Sora swims, he cannonballs. Everyone knows this.]

Well you're new, right? Did you find anyone from where you're from?

[Great. Wonderful. Just what he needs.]

Haven't found anyone yet.

[What? :/]

Then you've gotta have somebody show you around, right? I mean, when I got here I had a friend that knew his way around already and it made things a lot easier.

... some guy named Lea took me to the market to look for familiar faces.

[But that's the only place they went. :|]

Oh, Lea's a friend of mine! Did he show you around anywhere else? Tell you where to find your apartment and stuff?
