[Soooooo.

Bruce isn't exactly sure where he is, but its pretty clear he isn't in Kansas New York anymore. Or even America, for that matter. Possibly Earth too, considering his attempts to get information.]

Um.

[Should he be using this thing? Its kind of... yeah. Suspicious. Its not everyday you fall asleep to wake up somewhere else with a strange device on you. (Well okay, the first part is something that’s happened while the second... actually, nevermind that.)

At least the place is... interesting. For a lack of a better word.]

If there’s anybody out there watching this - I would appreciate it if I could have an explanation about--all of this. [Gesturing to his surroundings in question for emphasis, which is a nice shot of one of the districts for a few moments before its broken by the aborable sounds of a Meow Wow as it starts to jump up and down, taking the screen each time.]

[...yeah so after a bit Bruce angles the device back at him, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.] I did try asking, but I don’t think a couple of ‘kupos’ and a cat-thing following after me is exactly the answer I’m looking for.

[Attempts to put on a smile here. Just... help him out here, please? He would appreciate it, really.]

[Oh thank goodness its no longer a pony--

--well, hopefully. Bruce quickly figures out that it's another one of those cat-things--Meow Wows. The Meow Wow behind him is also bouncing excitedly, clearly elated to see another just like it and is totally trying to get to the screen as well.

Hello other Meow Wow, get a screenful of Meow Wow back in return as well.]

[It's by this time that Roxas has actually noticed that Bouncer is looking intently at the communicator. He shoves the Meow Wow out of the way, with some protest because new friend.]

Hello?

[amygdalae]

[--ah, now its somebody most certainly not a pony. At least Bruce thinks so.

Give him a moment as he tries to get back his screen from his own, uh, Meow Wow.]

--hello. [Blinking at the screen now, and pointedly trying to ignore how the cat--Meow Wow is attempting to leap back into the screen once more. He gives a tentative smile.] Sorry about that.

[seasaltkeys]

It's alright. Mine was doing it first.

[Roxas sighs, trying to look awake. Bouncer is wuffing at him. He wants to see!]

You're new, right?

[amygdalae]

I am, yes.

[A small nod, and then he smiles apologetically at the sight of Roxas.]

Did I disturb you from your sleep? Sorry, again.

[seasaltkeys]

No, it's fine. I already can't sleep so it's not you.

[Bruce will probably find out soon enough.]

Do you need help with anything?

[amygdalae]

['Can't sleep'? That's a strange choice of words there. Bruce quickly takes note of it, but doesn't pry for now.]

A fair number have already offered me their assistance, so I think I'm good. Thanks for asking, though.

[seasaltkeys]

Good.

Has anyone told you about the dreams then?

[amygdalae]

I think so. [Kind of? He's not sure.] A second explanation would be helpful, though.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas will do his best.]

It's like, everyone has the same dream except not. They're all different, but they have the same theme. And it's bad...sometimes.

[amygdalae]

[Simliar dreams... right. He will take note of this.]

Bad as in how? If you don't mind explaining.

[seasaltkeys]

You just wind up remembering things...you don't really want to remember.

[amygdalae]

[Ah. Hm.

Looking kind of apologetic now.]

Sorry that you had to remember that.

[seasaltkeys]

It's alright. I've been dealing with it.

Sorry. It's not exactly good news.

[amygdalae]

It's not as bad as suddenly finding yourself in a new world, so don't worry.

[seasaltkeys]

But that's not that scary? I mean, it's pretty normal. At least for me. Sort of.

[amygdalae]

I don't really do this 'world hopping' thing myself. [Awkward smile.] It's going to take a while for me to get used to.
