*The video turns on to a new girl blinking and staring at it. Nothing too unusual. She pulls back as her dog sniffs at the camera. ...wait, is the dog wearing a space helmet?*

Dude, Io, I'm, like, recording. *The girl lightly pushes the dog back and laughs, petting it.* 'Sup, dudes of the mystery phone. Anyone here got an explanation for why my cosmic soul sister Io and I ended up over here? And anyone know what planet this is? Looks kinda like Earth, but I haven't been in ages.

*The dog barks.*

Yeah, Io, it's far out. Dog's got the right idea, y'know? Though we're both missing my other pets and our friends from back home, and our jet packs are missing, too. What a trip...

It's Earth. We've all been kidnapped, more or less.

[video]

[cosmicsoul]

Kidnapped? Now that ain't cool. By whom?

[video]

[unknownrival]

The triple goddess, probably. We think.

[video]

[cosmicsoul]

Deep stuff, man. You know what she wants with people like you an' me?

[video]

[unknownrival]

That I'm not sure of.

[video]

[cosmicsoul]

Scary stuff. This looks like a far-out place, though. What do you think of it?

[video]

[unknownrival]

I don't like the city itself, but the people here are wonderful.

[video]

[cosmicsoul]

It seems nice enough to me. Heard about the monsters, though.

[video]

[unknownrival]

I don't like those either.

[video]

[cosmicsoul]

Not somethin' most people would, is it?

[video]

[unknownrival]

Not in my experience.

[video]

[cosmicsoul]

What else has you down? Seems like a happening place to me.

[Thank goodness, someone else from space. Even if the dog in the helmet looks a little hokey.]

From what I've been told, this is Earth, but it's probably not the one from your universe thanks to the odd properties of this place.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

You mean Io and I have transcended the known universe? If that's the case, why didn't all my other animals come?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

I wouldn't call it 'transcended', more like 'pulled by beings we have yet to meet'. That would also answer why your other animals didn't come.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Bummer... I hope they're all right at home. They know how to behave, but a girl's got to worry, especially since I'm not even sure my friends know much about pets. Callisto might claw the cushions.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

I'm sure they'll be fine. Besides, I think when, and if, we get sent back, it's to the time we left.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Whoa. A miracle of time, huh?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

You could say that. Even those who came from an Earth in their worlds are from different time periods. It doesn't seem to be a barrier to the thing that runs this place.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Life's mysteries all have answers, we just need to look for 'em. Is it true a goddess drew us all over here?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

That's one of the current theories about what's going on. We just don't know for sure.

[Video]

[cosmicsoul]

Life is one big great unknown, dude. What about you? What do you think?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Me? I have to admit I'm hoping it's something technological, I have had quite enough of Gods.

[Saori was about respond when Sirius butts in to try and sniff the camera.]

Ack! Sirius, down boy!

Sorry about that. He gets excited when he sees a new face here. I'm Saori.

That's right. This is Earth, chances are it's a different version of the one you're familiar with. Don't worry, all of us on this network are from different worlds too. We're on the island Prospero.

[cosmicsoul]

*Io barks and tries to lick the camera. Of course, she still has a space helmet on...*

That's all right, nothing wrong with friendly. Nice meeting you, Saori. I'm Jupiter, and this is Io, she's one of mine. So, like, what's it like on Prospero?
