compnetwork | An Abundance of C/An Important Question [Video]

When the video starts, one will see Shoutarou standing outside of a pool hall - he adjusts his hat a bit before speaking.

"Hello, Hinoto-Ri. The name's Hidari Shoutarou, and I'm here with some news for you all, and a couple of questions.

To start, a rather unexpected thing has happened - whatever strange powers surround this place have seen fit to bring my detective agency building here. I suppose that means I'm stuck here for the long haul, I may as well start offering my services as a private detective. Just come see me in Pisces district, at the Narumi Detective Agency."

There's a pause, then Shou frowns and huffs. "...of course, whoever brought it here has a hell of a sense of humor, and put it across the street from the other Narumi Detective Agency..." The camera jerks, and points to the other one for a moment.

"The city's still working on getting power connected to the building, but I'm gonna call it open for business anyway now that I've moved in."

He clears his throat, and looks just a little more serious. "As for the questions - has anyone here heard of the Transmigration 9? It was where I was before I wound up here. Just wondering if any other crewmembers are here. My other question..." His face turns a bit awkward at this point. "...does anyone have any advice on taking care of a kitten? I've dealt with an adult cat that knows how to behave already before, to a degree, but a kitten is outside my experience."

I used to be a part of the Federation Police in my world, though I imagine your circumstances were different. I'm simply wondering if it was a stray ship within my universe...

You were out in space correct? Does the Galactic Federation sound familiar to you?

[So far the only other person she's met from her world has been Gandrayda. While one was definitely more than none, she still made the effort to seek out others.]

Yeah, we weren't really a very-well-organized bunch, to say the least. We were out in space, but never heard of a 'Galactic Federation'. There was a group called the Greater Interdimensional Alliance that we did some work with from time to time, though.

[Sigh... nope, not her universe then, or at least not her galaxy.]

Alright, I apologize, it must not have been my world. The name's Samus Aran, by the way. I worked for the Federation in my world as a freelance bounty hunter.

[He sighs, but gives Samus a somber smile.]

Hidari Shoutarou, private detective - and no need to apologize. Been in your shoes all too often myself.

It's been some trouble... Most of those who have been crossing into this place that do come from my world are dark creatures, that wish for destruction.

I'm used to working alone, though... I suppose it doesn't really matter which world my allies come from.

So you run investigations, then? We could use more investigators in a place as strange as this.

[Well, there's a quick change to a frown.]

So we're not the only things coming from our worlds...? That doesn't bode well at all.

[He nods.] I do, and I'll be able to do so properly now - at least once the power's connected.

Unfortunately, no. Some force is drawing creatures from our worlds as well. I highly doubt it's the same entity that has been drawing us here, however.

[She gives a small salute in acknowledgment.]

I wish you luck, perhaps we will be working together sometime in the future.

That doesn't bode well in the least, but thanks - I got a feeling we're gonna need all the luck we can get.
