tarotcards | Dream 001 [VIDEO/ACTION IN NEW BARK TOWN]

[The video feed starts off with a really shaky start. The only sound you hear at first is that horrible muffling sound as fingers keep trailing over the mic. It’s clear that the owner has almost no idea what he’s doing. It finally focuses onto a young man with silver hair. He seems pretty calm for someone who just woke up in Johto, but still pretty confused.]

I think I got it on...This looks like one of Yosuke’s handheld game consoles, though I don’t remember a camera on it...

[He ponders to himself for a bit before shrugging, looking towards the camera.]

If this video is going out, does anyone know where I am? It doesn’t look like Inaba or the city...

I’m pretty used to this stuff and I wouldn’t surprised if this was a dream. Not like I didn’t have weird dreams just like this before, but the “mom” thing is new, and that I'm wearing my Inaba school uniform. I probably just fell asleep on the train.

[He shrugs once again, but keeps his small smile on. Weird dreams; he had them before. This wasn’t any worse than when Igor called him in his sleep. This dream was pretty mild compared to the flaming luchadors and the Velvet room, so whatever. Still kinda weird he has his uniform on. He came from the train where he was wearing normal clothes, right? Then what's up with the uni?]

But if anyone can tell me what’s going on, I’ll really appreciate it. Even if it's a dream, I would like to see if I can find any familiar faces...

Thank you in advance.

[And with that the feed ends. He's pretty relaxed about all this. I mean, c'mon, crazy dreams are just crazy dreams. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.]

[Souji turns around and sees...what's up with the ancient clothes? He didn't think anyone wore those things anymore.]

This thing? I think it's some phone or communication device. I kinda got it figured out.

[He holds the gear outward to the strange man.]

Would you like to see it?

Oh! A phone; I know what those are! You can talk to your friends with them when they aren't in the same room! There are so many magic things in this time!

[He sounds so proud to know that.] Oh yes please! I can tell Hikaru the good news!

[Wait...] ...but I don't know how to use it.

[And Sai immediately goes from super happy to pretty depressed.]

[....Strange guy...Well, good thing Souji's kind and all. He's just going to open the gear up and point to a button.]

This is the button to start recording yourself, so you can give that a try. The camera is over here.

[Handing out the gear to strange man.]

[Sai is perfectly normal for a 1000 year old go-obsessed ghost...wait.]

To record--oh, like how they put people in those boxes? Being inside the box... Hikaru tried to explain it but it didn't make any sense to me. And this box is very small.

[Looking over Souji's gear very dubiously.]

[Oh, to put yourself in the bo-- what]

Well, you don't really put yourself into it. It just records a video footage of you and sends it someone. I don't think they have anything that actually puts you in it.

[C'mon man, take the gear from him already. He has it out and towards you and all.]

[Sai takes the gear, turns it over in his hands and.... pokes at the wrong button. Oh well.]

Send this to Shindou Hikaru!

Hikaruuuuu! I'm back! I'm alive again! I don't know where I am but I'll find you again I promise!

[If that got sent out at all is anybody's guess. But if it did, the video was upside down.]

[Oh boy...He's...not really going to tell him about that whole upside down business. He doesn't want to rain on the guy's parade.]

...I guess you never used or seen a cell phone or a video camera before, have you?

Oh, the last time I was alive we didn't have anything like this! If you wished to send someone a message, you visited them or wrote a letter!

[He may well be sending this whole conversation out, unknowingly. Oh Sai]

"Last time I was alive"?

...Are you saying that you're a ghost?

I was a ghost for a very long time, but god granted me life again! Isn't it wonderful?

[He's totally twirling and bouncing around in pure joy.]

[...what...alright, y'know what? No more science projects before he sleeps.]

I suppose so, but that doesn't make any sense at all...like everything else here...

[It's not that strange, is it?]

God moves in mysterious ways; I must find a shrine to pray and give thanks.

[Well, if I was dead and went around screaming I was a ghost, that would be pretty strange, right?]

Well, I hope that works out for you, though I don't know if you can find a shrine around here. It looks like nothing, but trees and trees from here.

[Only two people in a thousand years could hear him. Kinda does a number on brain/mouth filter.]

I'm sure it will. What are your plans?

[True...it's still pretty strange though, you gotta admit that.]

I guess I have to keep moving forward. I can't stay here forever.

How about you, sir?

I need to get to Tokyo and see Hikaru again!

[He goes thoughtful] But first I need to find out how to get there from here.

That's a pretty good question. I need to head back home as well...

My name is Seta Souji, by the way. It's probably better to introduce myself now.

[alsdfj D: Flail!]

Ah! I've been rude! I'm Fujiwara no Sai. It's a pleasure to meet you, Souji-san.

It's alright. We got caught up in the conversation.

Nice to meet you too, Fujiwara-san.

[He has a hand outstretched to shake...Does this guy even know about handshakes?]

[He was in the middle of a bow but just kind of stares at the hand for a moment... oh!

...And this will be the most awkward handshake ever]

It was still a little rude though...

No, it's fine. It was rude of me not to introduce myself either.

[...So awkward man...Just...shake the guy's hand already, will you? It's so awkward just standing here like this.]

[Shaking like someone who's never given a handshake before in his life. So awkward]

...Oh! Well then, I forgive you.

[Souji just nods, still kinda awkward around here.]

...You said you passed away and was a ghost for a while, right? Did you come from a long time ago?

Mm, it was about 1000 years ago that I died. A little longer since I was with Hikaru for a while!

...That was rather a lot of years. Hikaru your spirit medium?

[Cause who haunts kids that play Go? C'mooooon.]
