[Video...!?]

[thecatcameback]

[The baseball field. A rather mundane sight for many NV network entries. This time, however, the camera seems rather adamantly set on the ground somewhere out around the pitcher's mound. Some brushing and nudging noises against the microphone seem to indicate someone try to move it, but they aren't having much success.

A small black cat with a red bandana tied around his neck appears in the frame. He, it seems, is the one so busily messing with the bulky NV. With an annoying yowl he sits down in the dirt.

Then he speaks. His mouth doesn't move but the sound of a voice is unmistakeable. And furthermore, the voice will sound quite familiar to many people. After all, it once was only a voice, no body, no form, no nothing.]

Well. Never mind then.

[Now he looks up into the camera.]

Hello Siren's Port. It's me, Sissel.

I, uh... figured a few things out while I was gone.

S-Sissel? Is that really you?

[thecatcameback]

Ahiru?

[He sniffs the screen, then recognizes her.]

Yes. It's really me. Really, this time.

[motioned]

I-I mean, you're really- how did you... Are you sure?

[thecatcameback]

I'm not sure how I got back home from the Port. I just remember waking up on that submarine I was trying to get to, all that time ago when I first got here.

So I finished solving the mystery of who I am, while I was there. And it turns out... I was kind of confused, back then.

Kind of. Very confused.

[motioned]

So... You're a cat?

[thecatcameback]

Yep.

Bit of a silly thing to forget, isn't it?

[motioned]

Well, no, I don't think it was probably your fault.

So, um, how'd you figure it out?

[thecatcameback]

I went back home and finished solving the mystery of me. And I found out who the man I thought I was, er... was.

[motioned]

Really? Who is he?

[thecatcameback]

My owner.

[motioned]

Doesn't that mean he passed away, too?

I'm sorry...

[thecatcameback]

Actually, he was like me. A ghost possessing his own body. But we fixed it, and now he has a normal life again. He's much better off for it.

I hope he doesn't miss me now that I'm back here. I won't be able to visit him for a while.

[motioned]

A normal life or a normal afterlife?

Well, people say time stops back home when we get sent here, so he probably won't even realize you're gone.

[thecatcameback]

A normal life. Remember my powers?

Oh yeah... I forgot about that. Well, that's reassuring. Yomiel really likes it when I visit him.

[motioned]

But I thought you could only do that if it had just happened to them!

Yeah, it's nice to know.

[thecatcameback]

It's... complicated.

[motioned]

Do you want to try to explain?

[thecatcameback]

Mmm... let's just say that he was really dead on a technicality. I was still able to reverse it.

[motioned]

So your powers work differently in some situations? That's really interesting! And really lucky for him, too.
