① the call knows where you live (VIDEO;; week 19, day 7)
[ Sunlight filtered through leaves trickles into the Hitomi's camera. This must be a familiar sight to the network by now, the sign of yet another new arrival. The Hitomi is laying at a strange angle. The top of a mop of brown hair is just visible at the corner of the shot. It shifts slightly, then disappears.
A yawn is heard, followed by the voice of a young man in his late teens: ]
Wow, I don't remember taking a nap under... [ His voice trails off, presumably as he notices the tree. The sounds of steps and motion can be heard for a few moments; is he walking around the tree? ]
...What in the...?
[ His red sneakers walk into shot and stay there, one tapping in thought.
After a moment, the boy speaks again - as if to someone else and not himself, although there doesn't seem to be anyone else there. ]
Another dimension? ... Yeah, I thought so. [ It definitely sounds like the other half of a conversation. ] - What do you mean, you don't know? You've been to them all, haven't you?
[ A frustrated sigh.
And suddenly, an adorable little brown fluffball is poking its face at the screen. It backs up, and then flies up out of shot on two tiny little wings, chittering unintelligibly to the young man, who seems to understand it: ]
Kuriboh? ...You're solid? Then that means - Wait, what?
[ One knee comes down and a hand briefly covers the screen; it shifts to reveal the young man's face peering at the Hitomi with something between curiosity and faint suspicion. ]
Is this on? Oh - hi. [ A nod to the screen. ] Hey, uh, so, I guess I've sort of showed up in this dimension. Is there, um, anything going on? Like, something where people need help? Because if the world needs saving, I've got a little experience. You know, if that's why I'm here.
I... guess that's about it! [ Well, he seems to know his way around a videophone. With a somewhat cheerful smile, the boy nods again, and the feed cuts. ]
