Mmm~ What a nice nap! And the weather's so pretty today! A perfect day to lie down on the grass and relax, hehehe~

That woman was really kind to me, giving me all this stuff. Perhaps I should go back and thank her? What do you think, Amidamaru?

[he falls silent for a moment, as if waiting for an answer.]... Amidamaru? Hey, where are you?

[withthemoon]

You lost your spirit? Sounds like..quite the problem.

[voice]

[nantoka_naru]

Wow, it really works! Great!

[ahem]

Yeah, that's it. He usually helps me out when I get lost.

[voice]

[withthemoon]

Wait, do you mean your spirit or a separate one?

[Er, maybe she should help him out.]

You're in New Bark Town, in a place called Johto. A lot of us just woke up here like you did.

[voice]

[nantoka_naru]

Oh, that's right! You're not a shaman, are you? Uh, I mean... Well, he's a spirit I fight with, so he's my spirit, but not my my spirit! If that makes any sense...

[Cue a moment of awkward silence.]

Er, sorry? I don't think I've ever heard of those...

[used_beatup]

Yo, man. You high?

[nantoka_naru]

Uh, no?

[forperfectstats]

Your... 'spirit'?

How preposterous! Spirits don't exist!

[nantoka_naru]

They do, actually. Not everyone can see them, though.

'sup. this is franzy. she is harsh.

[forperfectstats]

T-That's absurd!

How do you expect me do believe such a claim without empirical evidence? It seems to me that the fact 'not everyone can see them' is just an excuse for your own pitiful mental delusions!

and we love her for that.

[nantoka_naru]

I don't really expect you to believe me.

So anyway, what's your name?

[audio]

[wieldswindwaker]

Spirit.

[audio/video]

[nantoka_naru]

Yeah, a spirit! Seirei-class samurai spirit, to be precise. You know, he's like-- Um, wait a second, I'm pretty sure there was a switch for video somewhere here...

[And the message switches to video, showing a smiling teenage boy]

So, he's like, thiiis big! [Raises his arms above his head.] And he's really nice, too.

You've seen him anywhere?

[video]

[wieldswindwaker]

[Link shakes his head apologetically. He hasn't. But there's something familiar about what Yoh is saying...if he can communicate with spirits, then...]

You're a sage?

[video]

[nantoka_naru]

... Huh? No! I don't think so, at least.

What makes you think I could be one?

[video]

[perpetualfrown]

[Well now, there's a familiar voice.]

So you've been brought here as well--what do you mean 'I should be dead'? I would think I should be dead. [Sup, Ren here waaaas nearly an hour out of New Bark Town, but he's going to turn around to go back and find Yoh :| Leader needs to do some leading here.

Also, something to note is that Ren seems to have a nasty fresh scar running from his collarbones to his naval... gee, seems something didn't get a chance to finish healing. At least on the outside, since Ren was obviously fine enough to be running around.]

[audio]

[nantoka_naru]

Ren! Good to see you!

Yeah, you too, I guess. [Laughs nervously. Like that's something to laugh at.]

[It takes him a moment to notice that and another moment of staring at the screen in an attempt to find a reasonable explanation. He comes up with nothing.]

So, did your wound open or something...? It looks worse than usually, you know. Though it might be just me, haha~

[video]

[perpetualfrown]

[Ren has no idea what Yoh is talking about and grunts instead, crossing his arms. Raising his eyebrow to the question though, he looked down at the wound on his chest.

You're implying that it ever closed. The last I remember before waking here was... fighting with Nichrom. [His face drifted into a scowl, but more of a downcast one rather than an angry one. So he lost. Big whoop. He survives it, doesn't he? He's here standing and breathing and pissing after all.]

[audio]

[nantoka_naru]

... Seriously? But we've already defeated other Patch Officials after that!

[There's a long "HMMMM" sound as he tries to figure it out.]

Hey, Ren.

You sure you don't have amnesia?
