[ Hello Network, you're treated to a close-up of a single charcoal eye before the person who it belongs to moves back, revealing a young boy with messy black hair that's kept in place with a headband. His left eye is covered with a bandage and he has a very puzzled, uncertain expression on his face. ]

Is this thing on? [ The screen goes blurry for a moment as he taps his NV before he seems to notice something and stops. ]

I was told this reaches some sort of network? [ If his expression is anything to go by, he doesn't... really get it, but he's pressing on regardless, suddenly a bit hopeful. ] And that maybe I could find someone I know on this. So I figured I should introduce myself so uh... Hey, I'm Obito Uchiha of the Uchiha clan from Konohagakure. [ Have an awkward wave and although he tries to keep a cool expression, he's failing because WOW this is uncomfortable and awkward. It's like talking to a mirror or something.

There's a long pause as he tries to figure out what next to say. ]

I've already been explained some things, so there's no need for that I guess. There's only one thing I'm wondering about though... [ He hesitates again for a moment. ] Does anyone remember dying before they came here?

[ And now it just got more awkward. Quickly: ] Uh, that's all! [ OBITO OUT. ]

So it's something you get used to then?

Yes, I suppose so. I certainly wasn't ready to die when I did, so getting a chance at life again hasn't exactly been something I want to give up.

Oh, you— [ died too. ] I'm sorry. It's the same for me.

I'm sorry to hear that.

[And she is, because he looks awfully young.]

It's all a bit strange to say the least, and it takes a lot of pinching to convince yourself that it's all actually happening.

Yeah, I'm still on that convincing part. It kind of helps to know I'm not the only one.

If it helps, I still find myself waking up sometimes wondering if it's really happening, and I've been here for two months. I definitely prefer being here to the alternative.

I can imagine. But yeah, definitely agreed there.

But are you alright now? Have you been shown the ropes?

I'm okay. The ropes?

I mean around the area and explained how things work here; I didn't take it myself, but I understand there's free housing for new arrivals when you get here. Has someone found a place for you to live?

Not quite? They explained the whole other world stuff, but that's it. I'm in the apartments right now.

Well that's the most important thing, you need to remember to have a safe place to stay after dark here. There's something about the dark that attracts monsters, I'm not too sure about the science behind it myself, but I'm not about to try and find out first hand how nasty they can be.

Oh yeah, the Darkness, right? I arrived here last night so I kind of experienced that already. They're nasty alright.
