[As a new entry starts on, viewers are treated to the face of a scowling young blond, probably not much older than fourteen, in a blue jacket. He's obviously confused, and if you can't guess from his growling into his phone, pretty annoyed about the whole situation.]

--at is this? Some kind of phone? I've never had any phone like... [He trails off, realizing he's switched on the record function.] ... Hmph. At least it'll be simple enough working it.

[Shaking his head, Kiriha focuses a stern look into the camera.]

If this is getting through to anybody, I want to know where I am, how I got here without even knowing it, and where my... [he stops himself from mentioning his Xros Loader, just in case there might be some kind of enemies about, then settles on the more vague:] ... my belongings might be. I'm missing some things.

If you can't answer any of that, then unless you know something else worth knowing, don't waste my time.

You're in Prospero, a city in the United States of America. A number of us have been removed from our homes and brought here without our belongings, and we have been unable to return or retrieve them.

[Sigh.] Welcome. I'm sorry.

A-- [Now that catches him off guard.] America...!? Is that a joke?

Huh--? Sorry for what?

I'm afraid that I'm serious.

That I can't do more, of course. I can't send you home or return your belongings, or even really protect you.

That's... I was in Japan just a few minutes ago.

[He could address the first things, but the last one is more relevant to Kiriha-- Or, more specifically, his pride.] Protect me? I don't think you need to be sorry about that. I can handle myself.

So was I before I woke up here.

It's sort of what we do, monks in dangerous situations. Help others.

How long have you been here?

You don't look much like a monk.

Three months, and I'm in training.

...

[he pauses to think about that]

You can't leave? Get to an airport and go back?

Home isn't there. No one you know is there even if you fly back.

... You mean we're in another world?

That would be a reasonable explanation.

You say that, but... This looks pretty normal to be another world.

It does, during the day. Not at night.

And what happens at night?

Monsters come out and try to kill us.

... Sounds interesting. Can you tell me more?

They're called 'Shadows' and they can be found in the streets after midnight. They have various weaknesses, but some are immune to physical attacks.

Hmmm... So how do I get one?

[naturally assuming people do their fighting shadow a shadow]

...Get a Shadow?

Yeah. If I'm going to be fighting these things, I'll need to start my army, right?

That's not precisely how it works...

Then I'll be the one to make it work.

Good luck with your army.

Thanks.

Ah, you're welcome.

Everyone here is missing a great many things.

Welcome to the war.

And no one's caught the thief? Typical.

-- Hmm? War?

Yes, we are fighting a war against strange sorcerous beings.

Sorcerous? So... magic?

... Unfortunately, yes.

Hmph. What kind of magic then? That's a pretty vague thing to say.

Everyone else has probably already beat me to it, but if you have any other questions I'll do my best to answer.

I still might be able to think of a few.

What do you need, then?
