[When the feed starts, there is the sight of a surprised newvomer with longer orange hair. It's from a lower angle.... Did he drop the watch?

Nope. Because the camera angle just tilted. Whoever it is filming this, they're using the glasses cam in order to do so.

There is text that accompanies the video feed.]

My new friend is looking for people who know him!

Can someone who speaks human talk to him? He's confused and doesn't know about his COMP glasses yet...

[...Was that a dog whining.]

[ ... now that was a surprise. joshua had just met his own neku and he didn't look nearly as lost... or collared. were there doubles floating around here? not surprising, given the circumstances, but still. ]

My human happens to be excellent! I also happen to know your friend. Hope he hasn't been too much of a bother!

[Joshua you are so lucky the dog can read human (or the COMP translates it to dog, either or). Otherwise he'd probably tilt his head and thus the camera angle even more in a basically "oro?" manner.]

He hasn't! Though he could use a towel...

[He coooould give directions, but where was yet another new frand?]

[Wait a minute, is that...]

Facility?

[yeeeeeeeeep]

Facility?

[he isn't parroting he is just really confused]

He has a collar if that means anything?

I didn't know humans wore collars, too...

A bad place called the Facility gave him that collar to keep him under their control; I have one like it too. Do you think you could pass him a message for me?

[There is an audible growl. Why such a mean place why so many people get hurt by what science causes >:I]

I can try? but he doesn't understand dog...

[ what a smart dog! koro-chan, you're the best! ♥!! ]

I sure hope he's found one by now! I'm a little lost myself, so I doubt I can help.

[omg her suspicion was correct you are a dog omg talking dog she wants to pet you wherever you are omg

but now is not the time]

Can you show him the screen?

Is there any way to send private messages over this network?

[ hello, yes, hi, this is a little sudden, but that's a version of his proxy right there, and if what this person is saying is true, then there is no WAY he's going to get the full version of events from his mouth. ]

There should be a little lock shaped button up in the corner, but I'll go ahead and enable it myself for now.

[boop]

May I ask who I'm speaking with, though?

[yep, yep he is and he would say where he is but you just asked him to do something and thus he is distracted by doing so.]

Okay!

[there's a flurry of movement as he tries to scratch at the strap on the watch portion someone sewed onto his shirt. Must... press b- oh there we go. The feed flickers to life and he barks again at Neku.]

Neku-san, someone is trying to tell you something!

[... OKAY THAT'S... A GIANT SCREEN oh my god there are subtitles for dogspeak. Holy shit. This world has everything.]

... someone?

Neku, is it?

[The name kind of rang a bell, but she couldn't quite place it...]

Neku, this isn't the Facility, and this isn't an F3. You're outside of the Consortium's control and Val's control; no one can reach you here. You've gotten out. There are others of us here, but not many. I can't come find you now, but I'll find someone that can. Stay strong, okay?

[ very handy, thank u network stranger! ]

[ ... huh. that question does give him pause, though. how does he introduce himself to someone neku knows without sounding strange or suspicious? that question gives him the answer, though - there's literally no way. might as well give her a card to deal with. ]

My name's Joshua Kiryu. I'm familiar with Neku, but I don't recall him ever going through what you just described. Can you elaborate?

[He tries!]

Oh, you're new here too? happyface

[...NETWORK WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAH]

do you need help getting around? I know most of the districts like the back of my paw. excitedface

[...he quits trying to keep the network from translating his facial expressions... sob]

Josh?

[The text is sent out to him not even a beat after he sends his message, almost as if to imply that the person he was talking to was familiar with him and sent it in a hurry. But... no. He said he doesn't remember anything like she described. This isn't her Josh, in that case; but just to make sure...]

My apologies. Joshua, did you arrive here straight from Shibuya?

[... out. He's... out. That's going to take a moment to really sink in. He's out, and there are others here that have gotten out, too...

After a second or two, Neku laughs, running a hand through his hair.]

Hey, Koromaru. Can you... ask who that is?

Sure! happyface

[...goddammit.] Neku-san is asking for your name???

My name is Kairi.

[ ... ok hang on, not even joshua is immune to that much adorable, ok. he's gleaned enough information to know that this is doge speaking, so that hurdle's been breached. let's move on here. ]

I just might! No need to worry about it for the moment, though. I think I'll be all right with wandering around. What's your name?

[...]

Who's talking?

I'm Koromaru! happyface

[success... i mean uh]

I'm Koromaru! My pack calls me Koro-chan for short. happyface

What's yours?

[ ... this throws him for a loop. this person was in a position to get to know him? that would mean that a version of him existed on this facility too... either that, or this was someone from his future. the past was right out... since, well, reasons. considering his options, though, he thought the former was a little more likely. ]

I did. Who am I speaking to?

Kairi.

[Kairi. From the Facility. Sora's Kairi. The one he used to talk about, the one Neku's heard stories of...

Neku smiles, laughing once, unable to really... do much more than that for a moment.]

... tell her... thanks. And that Sora and Riku are still okay.
