[The image that appears is that of a young woman easily still in her teens with short brown hair and brown eyes. The young woman is leaning against a tree a pink fox creature sprawled in her lap, eyes closed in contentment. She appears to be concentrating on getting her gear to cooperate before her features smooth to almost peaceful followed by a murmured 'there we go'. Throughout there's a Pidgey occassionally photobombing the video but for the most part the young woman keeps her cool and ignores the bird.]

I’ve read a couple chapters in the Trainer’s Handbook and skimmed the beginning of the Breeder’s Guide, but I’m still a little at a loss. I understand the concepts of what the handbook and guide are trying to get across, but I really want to know why I am here? I realize it might be presumptuous to think there is a reason, but if there is I would really like to know.

[There’s a pause before her gaze narrows and she leans in toward the gear startling her Vulpix from his perch with a squeak as it slips from her lap in search of more stable ground.]

Yusuke I swear if this is another case and I’m only just finding out about it- [She cuts herself off abruptly and takes a deep breath. Somewhat insecure this one but she has a right to be in some respects. Slowly the Vulpix edges closer, forepaws resting on her leg as it slides into view of the camera and makes a soft sound meant to get his trainers attention. It makes her smile. She continues but she looks a little sheepish from her outburst. She doesn't even know if he's here and she's yelling at him.]

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you Kurama, I just realized something is all. [Her attention shifts back to the gear while she pets the Vulpix.] Anyway. My name is Keiko Yukimura. I’m looking for information on what I’m doing here and my friends if they’re here. One is a loudmouthed boy with black hair, brown eyes, and an obscene love for hair gel. Another is a girl with blue hair and purple/pink eyes. She’s a sweetheart, really bubbly and talkative with a big heart. Then there is Kuwabara, orange hair has a heart of gold and has a complicated relationship with the other boy.

[That should about cover the basics, her descriptions covering what most people would immediately pick up on if they met any of her friends. Gently she nudges her Vulpix off her leg and begins to stand the last image is of the ground before the feed cuts out the last thing anyone here's is Keiko calling for the Pidgey to land finally a little fed up.]

If there's a reason, nobody has quite been able to figure it out yet. It's not really presumptuous though, it's actually a pretty common question. And for good reason, I mean all things considered.

[I mean after you answer the "where am I" that really just leaves "how did I get here" and "but why".]

I don't know about the blue haired girl or Kuwabara, but Yusuke is definitely here! I wouldn't be surprised if he contacts you soon or already has and I just wasn't paying attention. Anyway, nice to meet you Keiko, my names is John Egbert. And even though I can't tell you why you are here, I can possibly answer any questions you might have that the handbook didn't cover.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one to think it's a necessary question to ask.

I've been told Botan is here too, I just haven't heard from her yet. He has thank you. That'd be great. Let me finish it first and I'll let you know if there is something that I didn't understand.

[He laughs a little.]

Definitely not. I just wish I had an actual answer to it. Because the how or the why is nearly always a newbie's first question and it's the only one that I absolutely cannot answer so I feel kinda bad.

Just give your friend a little time, I am sure you will hear from her! Sometimes people can be a little slow getting on the welcome train.

That makes two of us. I understand that feeling, there should be answer that everyone is aware of. [She doesn't even care if it's a lie at this point and it makes her frown that there isn't one.]

You're right that she'll probably check in eventually.

There might be eventually, who knows! But so far all we can really do is guess until we find more information. If we do, that is. I don't know if anybody is really looking but it wouldn't surprise me if that were the case.

[He's not looking because he doesn't particularly care how or why he got here, he just wants to STAY here.]

So if you're from Yusuke's world are you a Spirit Detective too? Are you like his partner or something?

[She asked if this WAS another case, after all. Maybe Yusuke is just bad at keeping his partner up to speed. He certainly seems like the type who might be. Or maybe it's just a timeline thing...]

Do you think we could actually look into the world or attempt to find more information? [She's only asking because she isn't entirely sure what the rules governing this world are yet. and she would like to go home but if that isn't possible trying to find information about the world would go a long way.]

No. I'm actually 100% powerless human. Yusuke is the only Spirit Detective here.

[ghostytrainer]

Ohhh, I see. Well, there's nothing wrong with being a powerless human! Especially here since we are all powerless humans now, despite what we may have been before. [He chuckles a little.] Even aliens and stuff. I will warn you now that they tend to be sort of sensitive about that, in case you encounter one.

But as for the info-gathering thing, I don't really know. I mean finding information should in theory always be possible but at the same time... I mean, did you try talking to any of the natives when you were in New Bark? They aren't really the most helpful with that sort of thing. So that kind of throws a wrench in things.

No, sometimes it actually works to your advantage too. But I'm liking there being a level playing field. [She nods in understanding. She isn't sure that she would be too happy if she had powers and to suddenly find them stripped away.]

Yeah, they aren't very cooperative or forth-coming. But there has to be a way. [And there's a undeniable look of determination in Keiko's expression that she's damn well going to try to find something useful while she's here] Hopefully it's just a matter of persistence.
