First Sunrise [Video]

[ Today Hinoto-Ri is greeted by some panicked kid's yells over the network. Sorry about that. He's a fresh arrival, but is already feeling the effects of the Scorpio event. ]

Mr. Butterfly-mask--!! Are you out there!? I-I need to know if my friends from The World are here! I remember, I remember everything... Maybe they're here too? 

Oz-kun!! Hope-kun!! Yuuta-kun!?! Please tell me you're okay!

O-oh no what if... what if I'm the only one here... What if... what if they're... [ His eyes are starting to water. Someone stop it before it gets worse? Or not. Your call. ]

...Soccer techniques?

[How would you even...]

The Dark Hour is an extra hour, starting at midnight. It's hard to explain, but... during that time, there are monsters on the streets.

[glassworkgenius]

Mhm. Our hissatsu* techniques.

[ *-Literal translation 'sure kill'. It's... normal in his 'verse. ]

Only on the streets? So no one's in danger if they stay inside?

[ He's still a little doubtful of it, but that's only because of the heavy atmosphere. He hasn't shaken it off since he's gotten here. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

...That's just a name though, isn't it?

I can't guarantee it will be completely safe in the buildings, but it's a lot harder for the monsters to gain access from what I can tell.

[glassworkgenius]

It's not like I'm looking to beat anything. Self-defense should be enough?

Mmn... what kind of place is this... [ The question's rhetorical, but Sasuke's free to answer if he has a comment. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

It can definitely be dangerous, but as long as you're careful, you should be okay.

...It's a strange place. And it will probably take some time for you to get used to it. But it's not all bad, either.

[glassworkgenius]

I'm having a hard time seeing the "not all bad" at the moment. [ A wry laugh. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

During the day, it's a lot like any other city. It might be more high tech than what you're used to, though.

[glassworkgenius]

Really?

[ He's curious now. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

Yeah. Things like these communicators are beyond anything we have in my world.

...And from what they said, the department of Wands isn't even entirely sure how they work. I don't think this is entirely just advanced technology.

[glassworkgenius]

Hm... yeah. But the last place I was in had a teleporter! I'm kind of prepared for most things at this point, even if I don't understand them.

[not_that_sasuke]

A teleporter, huh? Then you probably won't have any trouble with the ones they have here.

...Hopefully they've fixed the glitches by now.

[glassworkgenius]

G... litches?

[not_that_sasuke]

...People ended up in the pool a few times.

[glassworkgenius]

--Oh.

Maybe I should learn how to swim... Just in case...

[not_that_sasuke]

[As much as he wants to reassure the kid...]

...That might be a good idea.
