itsjustdust | First Kunai: [Video]

[The first thing that everyone hears as the connection turns on is a rather loud, painful sounding clatter which indicated that the Pokédex had just made a rather abrupt acquaintance with the ground.]

Ah crap. Sorry! Sorry everyone! [The picture resolves itself at this point into a rather sheepish looking teenager, who is turning the device this way and that, clearly trying to determine which way was up.] I'm kinda new here and haven't gotten used to all the new technical stuff that this place seems to have. This thing is pretty sleek though right? Even if the road is pretty, well, snowy. And cold. But hey, I have Katon so it's not like I'll freeze!

[There was a nearly upside down showing of his Ponyta at this point before he finally settled on an angle, which thankfully seemed to be right way up as the camera focused on him again.] Anyway, I just wanted to give an all call and a hello to everyone out there and ask a rather uh, specialized question.

Only a few of you might get what I'm getting at here but, um, did anyone else seriously fail the whole climbing ledges class after getting here that I could have sworn that I'd passed when I was seven? I mean, I got down fine but... serious issues getting back up.

Like, really serious issues.

[Thank you for stopping his inner flailing about.]

Oh good. It's hard to tell when people are serious here sometimes!

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get used to it eventually.

Yeah, well, of course! I'm awesome like that! I just have to get used to everything is all. Hey, hey, how long have you been here?

Almost two years now. Just about three more months or so, and it'll be two years for me.

Oh wow. Somehow I expected something closer to 'oh a couple months'.

Yeah. I can hardly believe that I've really been here that long myself.

Is it really awesome, being here? And tell me I won't be poor forever, please?

Well, we usually don't have to worry about the world trying to end, so I'd say it's pretty nice. Even if there are some people here we could rather do without.

As for being poor... well, if you work enough and save up, you won't.

Gah, and I just came from a war, I have no non-battle skills! I'll just... the whole thing. I'll just have to do this and hope for the best, yes!

[He just came from a war... Wow. That wasn't good, he was pretty young.]

I'm sure you'll be able to learn how to work in a store or something without a problem. It's not that hard.

Though you do get some prize money from winning pokémon battles with other trainers...

[He clutched his head with a hand.]

Oh man I thought I could stop working when I died, But nooo, instead I get turned into a civilian. I'm doomed.

... What are you talking about?

[Because there was no way that she could've actually heard him right.]

Oh! I died right before I got here [Have a double thumbs up, like this wasn't weird at all!]

Seriously am I really the only person this ever happened to?

... This is the first time I've heard about something like this.

[He wasn't trying to make you sad! Watch him rush to reassure you.]

Hey hey it's alright! It's a good thing! Back home getting a Hero's death is a huge honor and then I got a whole second life here. So perk up, it's alright, really!

I'll... try.

It's not every day you talk to someone who says they're dead.

[He gave a wry smile.]

I figured two years would have you into -someone- else in my position. I'm sorry.

[She forces a smile.]

Hey, don't be sorry. It's not your fault.

Hey hey don't make that face! I'm trying to cheer you up here! Katon'll stomp me if I made the pretty girl all depressed, right Katon? [Cue him showing the ponyta pawing the ground, gamely going along with the idea.]

[Okay. That's getting a few giggles out of her.]

Well, I'm glad to see that you're liking it here, at least.

[Especially since, you know, you couldn't go back.]

[He brought the gear back to showing him.] There's the beautiful smile. See Katon? No need to threaten me!

I am liking it here, it's great! The people are friendly, the critters are awesome, and the girls are pretty, what's not to like?

[Hikari blushed.]

Well, I guess there's not much of anything not to like. Even if a lot of people would like to be home.

And when half the stuff here doesn't make sense. That's pretty annoying too.

Yeah, I mean there's some stuff I'll miss, but I'm sure there's things I'd miss here just as much if I had the option to go back. Better to be happy where you are than mourn where you're not, ne?

Yeah. You're right about that.

[Also, Obito, you kinda can't go back. You know, the whole dead thing.]

[He meant for other people!]

Of course I am! I'm wise beyond my years you know~!
