BEAT!?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Duh, man. 'Course it's me. Where you at? We gotta book it to the River, yo.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

The River? What? Dude, there's not really a river worth going to here...

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

No, man, the River, yanno? The one where the Composer's at. We gotta book it there.

Now where you at? I need to find you soon or we're in some serious trouble, yo.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Wait... what about the composer? What's that all about? How'd he get here?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

...whatchu talkin' about? We been lookin' for 'im for a week together.

And whatchu mean 'how'd he get here'? It's Shibuya. Ain't he always here?

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

No Beat...

First, since when have we been partners? I ended up here after the first game.

Second, this isn't Shibuya.

Third, what happened to Shiki!?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

If this ain't Shibuya, where is it?

I ain't good at explain' stuff, yo. But, uh... Shiki? She made it, but then the Reapers pulled a cheap ass move and used her as your entry fee for the next week. We been partners since the third, yo.

How da hell you been here since the first week if I been partnered up wit' you for a week? And what about that prissy boy you were with?

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

I remember Shiki was taken. But after that, I ended up here. I don't know anything about us being partners.

Dude, this place is... it's insane, so I'm not surprised that they messed with time and I don't know, brought me here, then you later on.

Point is, get used to Sieben.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Well, she's aight, just waitin' for you to win the game, yo. All's we gotta do is beat the Composer's face inta tha' ground, and everyone'll be back.

...but I guess you don't remember everythin' that happened 'tween the first week and now, huh? That blows, man, 'cause I ain't got the brains to tell you everythin'.

What the hell's this Sieben thing anyway? I got some bird-dude teling me there's giant owls and a big ass horn sittin' on my head.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

How do I remember things that didn't happen? I'm telling you Beat, I never made it to the second week of the game.

Yeah, and Sieben isn't a thing, it's a place, and you're here.

A horn? What kind...? The hell? A horn?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

...

....

Nngh... I don' get it, but aight, if you say so.

If this's Sieben, what's up wit' that giant owl crap?

Hells if I know! It looks like one of those Noise we been fightin', yo. All red and orange and stuff.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

The giant owls are the ones who're running things here. They're called Hibou. Might as well think of them as the reapers, GM, and composer.

As for the horn... sounds like you got mixed up with a Noise like I did. I got quills from the corehogs.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

So they the ones who'll be issuin' the missions or somethin'? That's weird, yo.

You a corehog? Man, you ain't gonna stick me, are ya? Those things always kicked my ass.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

They're not missions, but they like to mess with time. Like, sending us into the past.

And I'm not a corehog, I just have quills. And hedgehogs don't stick to anyone. The quills are to keep people away.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Mess wit'-- Dude, what? How's that even possible?

Dude, I'm just gonna come find you. All this talk is makin' my head hurt.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Find some Aspirin on the way here. You'll need it.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Aight. Where's the doc at?

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

What doctor?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

I 'unno! That chick people go see for meds or whatev. Can't just get aspirin from the air, yo.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

No. But check the trees. There's all kinds of stuff in them.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Trees? Whattup with the trees?

...HOLY CRAP, THERE'S CAKE ON THE TREES.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

That's a new one...

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

What the hell's up wit' the trees?! They all growin' weird stuff everywhere!!

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Yeah, apparently, that's how they choose to provide for us.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

...those owl things?

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

We discussed this already Beat. The owl gods, the Hibou. The reason you're here?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Yo, I've just been tryin' to wrap my head around this horn thing, aight? Gimme some time here.

...So what. Featerbutts up there screw with us time to time, make us all some kinda Noise-freaks, and make food grow on trees?

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Not everyone is a Noise, but that's the basics.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like Bugs over there. Said he's got airplane parts or somethin'. Made him a bird.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Bugs? Who's that?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

I dunno, some dude with bird parts. Said he eats bugs. So, Bugs.

Uh... over here (http://9ball-wizard.livejournal.com/22105.html). Tha' dude.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Oh... Venom. Yeah, he's supposed to be like... Wait... you DON'T recognize him?

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Venom? What? He like some kinda celebrity?

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Yeah... sort of... I guess...

Better he doesn't know what I realized

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Yeah...I don' really pay attention to that crap unless Rhyme's interested in it.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

I doubt Rhyme would know either...

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

What kinda celebrity is he then? She knew a hellova lot 'bout that stuff sometimes.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Trust me... I don't think Rhyme played a lot of video games...

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

So what. He's some kinda video game maker? I board, yo, I don't play a lotta games.

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it Beat... Just... try to find your way to the buildings and tents.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

We campin' now?

[shibuya-noise.livejournal.com]

Sure Beat, people are camping here. I don't know if there's enough apartments for everyone. It's only one building.

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Eh, it's good 'nough for me. I like the outdoors.

See you soon, man. Gotta go find me some aspirin and then I'll rock it your way.

[kotetsu-13.livejournal.com]

"Phones?"

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Phones. 'S my friend. You seen 'im?
