[ when the video first turns on, grey haired young man displayed simply raises a hand in greeting. ]

Hello.

[ he may have no idea where he is or what's going on... but it's still only polite to greet whoever's listening. he's still fairly drenched, yet doesn't seem to really mind. if anything, he doesn't even seem to notice. he glances to his left and right, wondering if anyone else might be nearby, before pulling something out of his pocket. it had once been a ticket stub... but now completely wet and torn, it's not even remotely recognizable. ]

I wonder if I can get a refund...

[ probably not... he tucks the ticket back into his pocket, deciding not to discard it even if it has been reduced to nothing more than trash. it might come in handy somehow in the future ]

I was just on a train to Tokyo... [ a slight sigh. ] Unless Tokyo has really changed in the last year, I'm pretty sure this isn't it. Can someone tell me what's going on...?

[Yep, definitely doesn't remember being here. That's okay, though!

Also, yes. Let's avoid the awkward...well. As if this wasn't a little awkward as it was, but details.]

It's not so much that you took a wrong turn. As far as I know you were just...kinda brought here. I don't even know how to begin to explain it.

[ burying the awkwardness underneath the surface is the way to go. if you acknowledge it, you lose. ]

It would have had to be a really crazy wrong turn... [ so he'll just admit that you're probably right about that one, yosuke. ]

I didn't expect to see you here though.

[Well usually loses most things anyway...

Well, about that--]

You're telling me. To be honest, I didn't expect to be here a year later either.

You've been here for an entire year...?

Yeah. So I guess you could call me a little bit of an expert on how things work around here. Just...still don't know why we're here or how exactly we got here.

Aren't those the most important parts?

You'd think so, but that's the part that everyone else conveniently leaves out.

But you've been doing okay?

As okay as you can be in this place. There's been some moments that...I'd rather forget but other than that nothing huge.

Except for the huge-ass kraken. That was annoying.

[ well, that's good to hear. he kind of wonders what those "moments" are, but he won't ask. for now. ]

A kraken? [ ... ] Tentacles and everything? [ they have tentacles... don't they? ]

I kind of want to see that...

[GOOD. Spare him the humiliation.

But. How would you feel to learn that you were in Belle's dress, Yu...]

Of course with tentacles. You don't wanna see it, man, it wasn't fun.

[A beat.] Well. Technically you were there, so you'd be seeing it again, but you don't remember.

[So would that count as seeing it twice or seeing it once?

This has been Deep Thoughts With Yosuke.]

[ flattered that he was the beauty and you were the beast... ]

This not remembering stuff is really inconvenient...

[ in case that wasn't clear already. ]

I'm usually not this forgetful.

[Oh gee thanks.]

Tell me about it. It'd be so much easier if you remembered.

But I don't think it's your fault, really.

[ a nod. ] I'll just have to figure it all out again.

I'll be counting on you to help out.

No problem, partner! That's what I'm here for.

Are you still near the coral? I can meet up with you now and show you around, or something.

[ he turns his communicator around, moving it around in a circle to show yosuke the surrounding area. ]

I'm still near there. I'll wait, if you have time.

[ having yosuke show him around sounds a lot better than just doing it on his own... ]

If there's anything I got around here, it's time. I'll be right there, partner!

[And he's off! He'll be finding you pretty soon, Yu. It's not like it'll be hard, or anything.]

[ then something's never change... well, maybe that's not true since yosuke usually does seem pretty busy, but at least it's good to know yu can always count on him.

so he just stands around, messing with his communicator to get more accustomed to using it while he waits. ]

[It doesn't take Yosuke long to get to the coral, jogging up with a big grin on his face. He really hadn't expected to see Yu again here in Vatheon; the next time he figured he would've seen him would be back at home somehow.

So there was that.]

Hey! Hope you weren't waiting too long.

[ he really hadn't been waiting that long. if anything, he was surprised by just how quickly yosuke had been able to find him. but even so... ]

I was about to fall asleep.

[ no, not really... ]
