Video/canon start?

[iwannabethegirl]

[The video starts with a strange noise whirring in the background, static filling much of the screen.  One thing's for certain though: there appears to be a schoolgirl, still in uniform actually, standing in a dark, dank cavern.  To say she's looking worried would be an understatement.]

Uh... h-hello.  I'm really hoping this works... When I saw a laptop and a camera in this place I didn't think they'd work b-but the batteries are charged and the computer says it's getting a signal and...

[She swallows.]

I don't know where I am!  I'm not sure if this is a prank or something, and if anyone knows anything about where I am, please tell me!  My name's Sakuri Kunikai and I live in Sendai, Japan with my parents and my little sister Eri!  And... a-and I've been in this place for three days and I haven't found a way our or anything!

This was the only community I could connect with, so please, can someone help me?  I really...

I really want to go home...

Sakuri, is it? Can you tell us where you are?

[She sounds worried, and Hibiki doesn't see any bookcases there where she could use it to help her out.]

[iwannabethegirl]

But I... I just said that I didn't know where! It's like a really big cave and I tried looking around for an entrance but there's nothing of the sort.

[The view from the camera changes, sweeping in a full 360 degree arc.]

It all looks the same to me, and I don't know if I'm any closer or further from the entrance than I was three days ago.

[wildmelody]

Oogh... this isn't good then. There's no markings, nothing to identify the place? That's pretty scary. I hope you find the exit soon.

I'm Hibiki Houjou by the way.

[oceanicbutterfly]

All right, just calm down a bit. Take a deep breath.

[iwannabethegirl]

I know, I know. I just...

Before I found this community I've had nobody to talk to and three days.... that's longer than I've ever gone without talking to someone before!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Kunekai-san. Breathe.

[fightbymoonlight]

Are you alright? Are you hurt in any way?

Enjoy this repreive while it lasts, Sakuri

[iwannabethegirl]

I'm fine. Or at least as fine as someone lost in a cave can be. I'm a bit hungry and thirsty, I can't even remember the last time I ate... but I'm still okay.

[She pauses for a moment, something slowly dawning on her.]

And honestly I'm feeling better than I should, considering.

[fightbymoonlight]

That's good. As suspicious as it may seem, it's best to just ignore it for now.

Can you remember how you got there?

[unknownrival]

Can you tell us how you got in there? Or, if not, can you retrace the path you took to where you started, and describe that?

[iwannabethegirl]

I can't... really remember what happened that ended up bringing me here. I can't even think of where my school day ended and my time in here began.

[unknownrival]

That doesn't sound natural. Have you seen anyone else since you've come here?

[voice] placeholder for now, i'm catching up with things UuU

[dekillerqueen]

... Three days?

Do you have water? Food?

Righto. Tag back when you've got the time.

[iwannabethegirl]

Actually... no.

I don't even remember the last time I actually ate. But the weird thing is I don't really feel that hungry. Or thirsty either.

[dekillerqueen]

Chances are your body has adapted to the lack of nutrients... but that doesn't mean you will not die if you continue like this.

[mightletyouknowme]

E-eh. I have a worldhop, I can help.

[Because cute girls deserve help.]

[iwannabethegirl]

Y-you do?!? I heard from Hibiki about those things, and...

... I saw something else in the cave and now I really want to leave!

[makewayforroze]

Are you all right? Has anyone been able to get to you, yet?

[iwannabethegirl]

Just the people in this community. And I suppose it's better than being alone.

[didiscareyouyet]

Did somebody take you?

[iwannabethegirl]

I honestly... don't know. I don't even remember how I ended up here at all.

[answerer_sword]

[She listens and frowns.]

Forgive me. I would help you if I had a means of transport to your area.

[And if she were not on a mission still.]

But as it is, I believe you would require someone capable of interdimensional travel just to find you.

[iwannabethegirl]

I know, I know...

But there's people here that'll be able to do that, right?

[material_guy]

Japan, huh? What year's it where you are?

Taking a guess as to when the game was made incidentally (can't find how long ago)

[iwannabethegirl]

Two thousand and seven?

... I'm also guessing that not every in this community is from the same point in time?
