[Tired of all the new feathers yet? Sorry, but here's another one - and he's loud. Very loud. So loud in fact that standing in the middle of the plaza, just about anyone in the vicinity can probably hear him. Why is he loud? Because he woke up in the fountain, soaked, with yellow wings and white cotton pants. He doesn't really realize that last part yet, however.

Once he's floundered his way out of the fountain, he finds a book with his name on it. His full name. Beat throws the journal at the fountain, bouncing it off the stone basin and turning it on.]

--OLD YOU THAT NAME?!

Stupid book. Hate books.

YO, PHONES!! PHOOOOOOOOONES!!! WHERE YOU AT?!

WHEN'D SHIBUYA GET A BIG-ASS PARK?

PHOOOOONES!!!!

You imbecile...We talk through journals here! Pick it up.

The hell you talkin' 'bout? I SAID I AIN'T TALKIN' TO NO JOURNAL.

GET OUT HERE, REAPER, 'FORE I KICK YOUR ASS OUTTA WHEREVA' YOU HIDIN'!!

[/sob. he doesn't get it]

[Naoto is facepalming right now, one moment]

I'm not a 'reaper'. Right now, you're no longer in your world, you're in a place called Luceti.

[S'alright. Beat's going to be trying to punch the air in case that's where this creepy disembodied voice thing is coming from.]

Ch'yeah, like I'm gonna believe that. YOU AIN'T GONNA FOOL ME.

I KNOW SHIBUYA. IT AIN'T GOT NO PLACE CALLED LUCEWHATEVA.

I know Shibuya as well, in fact I've been there on buisness several times. I assure you, you are no longer in Japan nor are you on Earth.

[Let's hope he gets this now] You've been brought to this world by a group call the Malnosso, a group of scientists.

.....Man, whatchu been smokin' up in the Reaper crib, yo? I heard a' some whacko stuff, but that just ain't cool.

[WHY DOES HE NOT GET IT]

I told you, I'm no reaper. Are you honestly that thick headed?

Well, you ain't no Player. So that only leaves bein' a Reaper.

'Specially since you can see me. Ain't no one in the RG can see me 'less we're inside shops or somethin'. I dunno. [He's never really understood how that all works.]

So what? You gonna keep talkin' from outta nowhere?

I can't see you! We're speaking through the journals, there should be one close by to you!

[This guy is worse than Kanji]

Then how we--

Yo, you mean that book?

[Stupid books. Stupid books with stupid names on it. 8( RAEG. He picks it up and it's upside at first, then he rights it and stares in.]

....The hell's up wit' this thing? It ain't eve-- Oh, hey I gotta message.

In Luceti, this is how we communicate to each other. Think of it like a cell phone. Except on this you are able to use video chat as well as voice, which we're doing now, and written conversations.

[Okay, slowly making progress]

Oh. [....Brain catching up...] Oh, hey. A phone? Why didn' ya say so?

So what? You like Coffee Man helpin' us Players out? Tha's coo'.

Coffee Man? Players?

Yeah, you know, the dude at the coffee shop?

Man, come on, you can't be in tha' UG and not know what Players are.

[Sob...back to step one]

I told you before, you're no longer in this UG place. You're in a world called Luceti. There are none of these 'players' here.

[:( I know. Talking to him is like talking to a wall. Only a wall might have a higher IQ.]

Oh right. So....

[UH.............]

.............

[Yeah, he doesn't get it.]

.............................?

[Now she knows how Yosuke feels when he has to explain everything to Kanji like this]

So you're no longer on Earth.

..............Are you an alien?

Wha--How the hell did you come to that conclusion?!

[Siiiiiiiigh] I'm human! Did you not hear me say that I've been to Shibuya once before?

Aliens've been to Earth before!

[seriously. the movies said so]

But, uh, if you ain't an alien, you another one of tha' aducktees? [trans: Abductees orz]

[Well they could be considered abducted but that isn't exactly what she's trying to get across]

No, I'm not.

[Now he's just confused. Let's start over.]

This place makes my head hurt, yo....

Anyway, name's Beat. Wassup?

[Sigh, he'll get it eventually so she might as well move on]

Naoto Shirogane. I was speaking with Nala until you interrupted me. [ ... ] Do you think you could tell me where you are?

[He might not, but he'll just not think about it. That's easy! :D ]

Oh, sorry 'bout that. 'm used ta' wakin' up in weird places, but tha's always the Scramble so it ain't so weird anymore. Now I'm at this fountain thing. Lookin' for Phones.

You ain't seen 'im, huh?

[That's the Beat way of doing things]

It's all right but I'm curious, what do you mean by waking up in the Scramble?

[Ah, since he's in the village she might as well go and get him. So shuffling around to get out of bed] I don't know anyone by the name of Phones but I'll be at the fountain shortly.
