[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!!!!

[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.

[The best way! :D Everyone should try it! ....or not because having more than one Beat is probably a disaster waiting to happen.]

Well, in the Game, you wake up in the Scramble. Just kinda...there. Pavement's good for boardin' but shit for sleepin' on, yo.

I'll be here. Gotta wait for Phones to show up.

[One beat is enough orz Him alone just gives Naoto a small headache]

What 'game' is that exactly?

[Alright, she's on her way now. It probably won't take long since she lives pretty much right around the corner]

[Just a small one? Obviously he is not trying hard enough.]

Reaper's Game. Somethin' 'bout being dead, comin' back to life. But damn Reapers be cheatin' an' got no honor, so the whole Game's gone stupid.

[Nah, she's had to deal with a lot of people worse than this]

And this all takes place in Shibuya? [Hmm she's going to have to ask you more about this later]

Sorta. It's the UG. Same place n' all, but not. I dunno, you'd have ta' ask Phones for more.

Who is this 'Phones' person? [Maybe the phones guy can come and pick up his friend before he hurts himself]

Phones's my partner, yo. We been goin' after the Composer for a week now.

[Which would explain why his hands still feel funny. At least he isn't fading out anymore.]

Got orange spiky hair, always wears a pair 'a 'phones 'round his head, kinda skinny. You seen 'im?

I see. No, I have yet to meet anyone like that.

[In fact she hasn't met anyone with orange hair yet. But she's closing in on the plaza so you may see a short little boy/girl with a blue hat soon]

[SIGH]

Eh, s'alright. I'll find 'im sooner or later.

[Also, Beat's focused on the journal thing so he might not see Naoto right away.]

[She's going to go ahead and close the journal now since she can see you. Walking to get closer to him]

Should I take you to the welcome center for the time being?

[WHAT?! WHY ARE PEOPLE SNEAKING UP ON HIM!??!]

AAAAAAAAH!!! Damn, where you come from?!

[Did...she honestly just scare him?]

I came from the fourth community building.

[He wasn't expecting that! ;A;]

...Oh.

Sup.

[Poor guy, she was thinking he'd be on the look out for her.

She sighs] Would you like me to take you to the Welcome Center for the time being?
