compnetwork | 1st Rain [Video]

[Everything was still kind of a blur for Yoshino. She remembered that odd dream about that man in the mask, and hearing something about a city in danger, but that certainly hadn't prepared her for this. Where exactly was she? This obviously wasn't Tengu City, nor anywhere else she might have recognized. It was at least an hour before she decided to try and find some help.

Somehow, she managed to turn on the camera function of the COMP. How? She has no idea. She just did. A girl with blue hair is kneeling there on the ground, sniffling like she's been crying. It also looks like its been raining, at least in an area around her. Yoshino is sad, and lost, and confused. She's not sure what to do. The only thing that really sticks out about her is the strange puppet on her left hand. It looks like some sort of rabbit with an eyepatch. And it's the puppet that talks first.]

Oh, it's recording now, isn't it? Good!

So, here's the scoop. We have no idea where we are! There was some strange dream and then...poof! Here we are. Anyone know what's going on?

[And while Yoshinon talks, Yoshino continues to be absolutely silent, save for the occasional sniffle. Yoshinon would know how to handle the situation.]

If anyone's got answers, let us know. Or if you've seen our friends, Shido, Reine, Tohka, and Kotori, send 'em our way!

Aaaaand I think that's it.

[Yoshinon starts to say something about turning the camera off, but it's cut off by the feed turning off.]

Right! And if you still run into trouble, you can always call my friend here.

[The camera moves for a moment to show Nano's face. She smiles and gives a friendly wave before the shark puppet sticks its face in front of hers again.]

She really likes to help people, especially new people.

[Both Yoshino and Yoshinon are quiet for a moment, but then she speaks.]

...like Shido...?

[Nano moves the shark puppet to the side now that Yoshino is talking herself, but she looks a little curious at the question.]

Hmm? Is that a friend of yours?

[Yoshino nods very slowly. Yes. He's one of few friends. The first person who ever showed her any sort of kindness.]

Shido is...

Shido's a very good friend! He gets into trouble a lot, though!
