[Finally taking time to figure out what this device fully does, Roxas just isn't pointing it the right way. The camera is focused on a sleeping Shinx in the sand.]

This thing is a lot like a Gummiphone, I think. But I can't contact anyone back home. Is that normal? [A Pikipek comes on screen and just hops around before its off screen again.]

I don't really want to leave Cherrygrove in case my friends show up. I don't know if a lot of people come through here, though.

[There's rustling as he turns the camera around to point at his own face.]

If I'm a Trainer of these Pokemon, is there certain ones I'm supposed to catch? Is there a good way to train them other than battling? I don't want to make them fight if they don't want to.

[The device is shifted again and now is just pointing at the sky.]

If anyone knows a guy named Sora, can you let him know I'm looking for him?

Comments

voice;

[sassymaru]

Very normal, yes. Alas, we're unable to speak to those we wish to communicate with, in our own worlds.

Fear not. I'm certain you'll locate new friends.

[missingache]

[That's not reassuring at all.]

But I want my old friends.

[sassymaru]

Don't we all?

But one must accept changes, as they come, I'm told.

[missingache]

... that sounds like something a friend of mine would say.

[sassymaru]

Does it?

My goodness. I must be psychic.

[missingache]

Or you just think alike.

[sassymaru]

I'm scandalized you doubt my potential!

[No he's not.]

[missingache]

If I can't use my magic here, I doubt psychic people exist...

[sassymaru]

[The most dramatic mock gasp.]

You doubt me! How cruel.

[missingache]

Not cruel. Just stating a fact.

[What is with this guy]

[sassymaru]

[Another mock gasp. He's ... just like this, Roxas.]

Cruelly stating a fact.

[missingache]

... I know someone you would get along with really well.

[This guy is like Xigbar.]

[sassymaru]

Oh yes?

Shall I take it as a compliment?

[missingache]

No. He's a horrible person.

[sassymaru]

[SULK.]

How very judgmental of you.

[missingache]

No, he'd tell you himself he's horrible.

[sassymaru]

Oh.


Well.

A pleasure meeting you as well.

[missingache]

Likewise?

I'm Roxas.

[sassymaru]

And I am... Shadowmaru.

The great Ninja Detective!

[missingache]

[.......................................]

A Ninja Detective.

[sassymaru]

Yes.

Did I stutter?

[missingache]

No.

But don't detectives want to be seen?

[sassymaru]

Not always.

Often we must work in secret.

[missingache]

That.... makes no sense... how can you help the police then?

[sassymaru]

I ... work for the law enforcement.

That is the function of a detective, is it not?
