Hello? Hello? Helllllllllllo? This thing must be broken. Weird that somebody would leave it all the way out here.

[All that can be seen from this view point is the inside of his mouth as he attempts to use the cell phone as a walkie talkie.

Then you see nothing but sand as he walks away, whistling. Soon, the screen is black.]

[But it doesn't stay that way. When it turns on again, blonde, spikey hair is seen peeking up from behind a sand dune; blue eyes follow. Until he seems the device again, it looks like he's trying to sneak a peek to see if the coast is clear.]

Still there, huh? Awww... I thought for sure I'd lost you. I'm flattered and all but... WHY AM I TALKING TO A MACHINE?!

Do you need some help learning how to use your community device?

[hunterofpeace]

It's talking back now? Huh, I must have fixed it.

Hey there! I think you dropped something out here.

[urbandev]

I'm afraid not... You appear to have been found by the community.

[hunterofpeace]

An entire community is looking for me? Come on. Whatever it was, I really probably didn't do it.

[urbandev]

Oh -- I'm sure you didn't. Let me explain. This place is the community. It's a network based interactive platform that links multiple universes together.

[poison_puppet]

Well, you might be talking to a machine, but it works so I think you're okay.

[hunterofpeace]

Yeah. [Not aware it's video, he scratches the back of his head.] Is there a certain reason you had it following me?

[poison_puppet]

Nope. You're actually being followed by an internet community that's stalking us all equally.

[hunterofpeace]

[Second person to say that. It's time to pick up this thing. And woo-hoo, she's cute! Instantly, his demeanour changes.]

So you were looking for me?! No need, for I am here!

[poison_puppet]

I wasn't looking for you specifically, but its nice to meet you now that you're here!

[He's smiling at her and being nice! What a nice change.]

[fightbymoonlight]

Would it make you feel better if the machine talks back?

[hunterofpeace]

[He's still not near enough to see any kind of screen. You're safe for now, Yuri.]

Only if the machine has good things to say.

[fightbymoonlight]

Well, I can't promise anything like that. There's some interesting people connected here, though.

But I'm afraid you're kind of stuck with this machine either way. Sorry.

[hunterofpeace]

[He's...half crawling toward the camera now. A lot of those voices DO sound female...]

If you wanted to talk to me, you can always just come see me in person. If you're as cute as you sound, it's okay what you say!

[fightbymoonlight]

I didn't connect to you. Not personally, anyway. That would be the community's doing.

And anyway, it's not exactly possible for me to meet you in person. [she sure doesn't see any bookcases she could use to worldhop.]

[originaldragoon]

That is a good question. Why don't you just leave it be?

[hunterofpeace]

[When he sees the beautiful women on the community, he's going to love this thing. For now, he's still keeping his distance.]

It keeps following me! Would you happen to be the person asking it to?

[originaldragoon]

I am most certainly not. It is doing that on its own.

[hunterofpeace]

[...Another beautiful woman. He had died and gone to a harem.]

That's okay! Even if you didn't make the first move, I'll be happy to!

[originaldragoon]

Excuse me?

[Oh he is going to be in for a rude wake up call.]

[glass_secret]

Oh sweetie... Technology not one of your strong points?

[hunterofpeace]

[Sweetie...Okay, now he's coming in a bit closer.]

Hey there! Actually, I am pretty terrible at it, hahaha.

[glass_secret]

Well, I can assure you that whatever you're using is not going to bite you.

[hunterofpeace]

[Yep, she confirmed it. This blonde haired, blue eyed goddess had confirmed it was heaven.]

I'm not so easy to harm! Even if it were to bite me, it would only get sick!

[glass_secret]

Oh, tough guy huh? You'll certainly make the community more interesting.
