Hello?

[ The screen fades in slowly and the first thing that comes to clarity is a gray-haired teenager. Behind him is the recognizable almost gaudy style of the hotel. The teenager stares for several moments before speaking: ]

Ah. There it is.

[ And that's that. Now he's staring again, with his light gray eyes, almost waiting as if you will answer him immediately--at least for a few more moments. ]

The travel brochure says we're in Prospero Island in America. How did we get here? This doesn't seem like a school trip.

[ He is almost emotionless--stoic--his words lacking any trace of what he's feeling or thinking. ]

I don't remember boarding a plane.

[ Something stirs behind him, in the bed. Rather, someone. The teenager hears it and turns around, watching as a black-haired girl slowly sits up from the bed. She looks at the boy, looking rather surprised. ]

Huh? Wha-? ... Where am I? Who are yo--oh, I remember you. What are you doing here?

Ah. [ Souji looks back to the phone then to the girl. ]

We're on Prospero Island. I woke up earlier and was in this room with you.

[ The girl however is staring at the phone--at the feed, realizing something unscrupulous may have just occurred. While she was asleep. She cuts him a sharp glance. ]

What do you mean by that? You just happened to wake up here with me?

[ The boy, unabashed: ] Yeah. [ A very minor pause before continuing: ] If you want to use the shower, the bathroom is behind this table...

I think someone must have kidnapped us.

[ The feed cuts off. ]

[ OOC: Dual intro! Both Souji Seta and/or Yukiko Amagi will respond accordingly. ]

[ Really wouldn't be the first time somebody here hasn't been that concerned about it. ]

Uh, yeah. Learned when I was young.

[ at least he doesn't have to mention the cute shit... ]

[ Actually, Souji is smiling. It's the first time he's doing it since he's been here, and it's... well, not that disturbing. It makes him seem a little bit more human. ]

That's nice to help out your family.

[ And then the smile is gone. ]

So is it true? Monsters come out at night?

[ Wow did he... okay, maybe this guy isn't so bad after all. ]

Yeah, I can understand if you ain't really willing to believe it. I wasn't either. But I guess seeing is believing.

Could you show us? Tonight?

You sure about that? I somehow managed to avoid them, but they don't exactly look very friendly.

Any time, I guess... I don't want to put you in danger.

[ Souji is thinking about this now, too. ]

The Hotel is safe, right? I don't have a way to fight them.

Pfft. Trust me, I'm the last guy you need to worry about getting hurt.

'unno about that. I mean, it's not like they try to break into it or anything?

Are they law-abiding monsters?

I 'unno. Why don't you ask them?

[ wow rude kanji ]

If they don't break into the hotel and attack then this place must be a safe zone. Have you fought any of them? I've heard they only come out after midnight and after everyone else turns into a coffin.

[ This just sounds so stupid ~~at least not as stupid as jumping into TVs~~ ]

That seems about right, then. And not yet, but I'd like to. I've been itching for a fight since I got here. ...The coffin thing though, that's... yeah. Kinda weird.

But using violence isn't appropriate. Do they listen to reason?

I kind of doubt it if they are, y'know, monsters.
