[The communicator is upside down. Then rightside up. Then upside down. The blonde teen on the other end turns it the right way again, putting it close to her face, and then finally, holding it at a reasonable distance and angle. She stares at it for a few moments, and then tilts her head back with a giant laugh. She speaks with a thick Australian accent, despite the fact that Australia doesn't...exist, in her world. Go figure.]

This thing is great! I can really talk to everyone through this? Wish I had one a these buggers in me other world, I bet some rich ole coot would pay a bunch for it!

Anyway. I ain't new to this whole alternate dimensions thing. But I gotta say, this one seems pretty damn nice. And I ain't sayin' that cuz I'm a brown noser, either, you guys went and hooked us up. Free place, free food, ya don't have to jump through any hoops or rip off anyone or nothing. Back in me own world ya don't get shit for free, unless ya got sticky fingers.

I was kinda in the middle a somethin' when ya brought me here. The weird thing is, I don't remember what I was doin. That beer machine mighta knocked me out, messed with me head. Someone stuck somethin' through me, though.

[And she moves the camera towards her stomach. Since she doesn't really wear real clothes, you can see the bandages.]

Looks like somebody was trying to do me in. Nobody's gonna kill The Great Kid, so quit wastin' yer time!

Ah, yeah, before I go. What's the best way to make some money around here? None of that "ya gotta show up all day, every day" business, I'm lookin' for somethin' good.

[No goodie-two-shoes?] Smaller? Like a gun or a knife? That's about as small as I can think, unless you want something more like a dice or ribbing?

[snatching]

Like that. I've never shot a gun before, but they're a good size. I use knives a lot.

[a_royal_flush]

Mmmm alright. [He seems to ponder his choices.] I've seen a few around, but I can keep an eye out for you to see if any of them are unpartnered!

[snatching]

That would be great! What's yer name?

[a_royal_flush]

I'm Yuuri, Shibuya Yuuri!

[snatching]

Nice to meet ya!

[a_royal_flush]

It's nice to meet you too. I've been here for a while, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

[snatching]

I think I got this place figured out. Mostly. For now.

[a_royal_flush]

Eeeh? Really? Wow that's great! It took me a good week or so before I did. [He laughed sheepishly at that.] You must have a great memory!

[snatching]

I don't need to have everything memorized yet, do I?

[a_royal_flush]

Huh? Oh! Of course not! There are maps on your DEMISE communicator as well anyway even if you do get lost.

[snatching]

I barely gotta do anything, this thing'll do it all for me.

[a_royal_flush]

It's pretty handy, but it only works in the city or near the mirrors if you head out on missions.

[snatching]

If I'm on a mission, chances are I got better stuff to do than play on here.

[a_royal_flush]

Mmmhm that's right! But it's good to know in case you need to tell Shibusen about something while away, and it might save you from coming all the way back.

[snatching]

I guess that makes sense, too...

[a_royal_flush]

I haven't had to use it yet on a solo mission, but I've seen them be used on the large missions we need to go on sometimes.

[snatching]

Fightin' over in this world's already got so many weird rules, let's hope I don't need to worry about it.

[a_royal_flush]

It sounds like a lot, but you'll find out that it's not really as bad as it seems.

[snatching]

If ya say so. Thanks!

[a_royal_flush]

You're welcome! And don't hesitate to give me a poke if you need anything, okay?

[snatching]

Ya might regret makin' that offer, ya know.

[a_royal_flush]

Eh? You think so? [He peered at the screen before shaking his head and smiling.] I don't, what are friends for, right?

[snatching]

Sure is.
