Unit 1 - Video

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face.  Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's guessing he's alive.]

Oh so that button is the same...[Oh. Right. Broadcasting. He clears his throat]

I suppose I should go out on a limb and assume that this was not where I was supposed to end up. For one thing, I've been to most of the planets that like to emulate Lost Jerusalem and this does not look at all familiar.   Would someone be kind enough to tell me what is going on here?  Or at least where this place is? I have to admit I am a little lost.

Yes, you're right... I guess I'll just leave him alone for now...

Oh, but Jr. is here, so he'll be okay! And Allen is here, too!

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Yes, I spoke to Mr. Ridgeley earlier. I wonder if anymore of the people from our place will show up, or if you'll be able to go home soon. I don't imagine this place would be good for anyone's health in the long run.

I can count on your help in keeping Jr from causing too much property damage, right?

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

I don't know... I just hope mommy and Ziggy are doing okay. I'm happy that Jr. is here, and you and Allen now, but... I miss them.

{she giggles lightly. Good job cheering her up, Gaignun.] Yes, of course! I'll do my best!

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Your mother and Ziggy will be fine, I'm sure you'll be home soon to see them. [Ah, mission accomplished. A happy MOMO is best MOMO. It's so distressing to see her sad.]

I'm glad. He's a little much for just me to handle.

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

Yes, I hope so too! [A bright smile. You're so nice, Gaignun.]

You think so? But you two understand each other so well.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Yes, but back home I had Mary and Shelly keeping an eye on him too. Understanding or no, he has a lot of energy.

[He's not going to mention that things between him and Jr may be a bit awkward until they can settle back into a new routine.]

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

I think it's wonderful! I really admire him.

[She blushes ever so slightly and looks away from the camera.] But I'll try to keep him out of trouble.

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

Thank you MOMO. He actually listens to you so it shouldn't be too hard. [and Jr wonders why people tease him about his 'involvement' with MOMO. They both really make it too easy.]

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

He does? Really? But... he listens to you too, doesn't he?

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

If I had a coin for every time he went off after I told him not to do something, I would have had double the fortune. Ah well, I suppose it can not be helped. He does get a lot of things done.

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

Yes! And he's very energetic and brave, too!

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[MOMO, you are too good at providing prime Jr teasing fodder.] I see. Well, you two are young, so you can keep up with each other easily.

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

[But she's sincere! She really thinks this! Don't tease her one true love friend because of her admiration, Gaignun!]

But... aren't you and Jr. the same age?

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[It's a little brother's duty to be a pest. Besides, he's always teased Jr. about his love life, or lack there of.]

Technically, but watching him just makes me feel old sometimes.

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

[Well yes. But MOMO would be so sad if she knew that she had given Gaignun fodder for teasing!]

Now you sound a little like Ziggy!

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[O-oh. Well. He just wont tell her.] Well, that's not a bad person to sound like I think. [he smiles a bit at her].

You must have had a lot of fun traveling with everyone like that.

[spacepeach.livejournal.com]

Not at all! Ziggy is very smart, even if Jr. thinks he moves too slowly.

I did! I kind of miss it... but being here is almost the same, in a way! [Gaignun should have been a playable character, dammit.]

[namedforcat.livejournal.com]

[Tell me about it, then he'd have a god damn move set.] Jr would think anything that moves slower then him moves too slowly. However, I'm glad those two get along so well.

I suppose in a way you're right about this place though. It is another chance for adventure for you, isn't it?
