[Continued from here!]
No, they seem just as in the dark as we are. But they're also super accommodating, which is suspicious on its own. I mean, that could just be experience talking with our own planet and they seem hard up on needing the chroma so tolerating us is in their best interest.
[He sighed and scratched his head. It was all so weird. Like in a 'too good to be true' sense, minus the moonblessing stuff.]
Is it hard to talk to any higher-ups in this place?

I've talked to a few, but they're busy coping with everything that's been complicated by people arriving on their world like this. And there's all kinds of things about the moons they take for granted.
Like what?
[It was pretty understandable that the sudden influx of people would complicate things. And it wasn't the first occurrence either, so when would be a good time to bug them?]

Yosuke, nice to meet you!
[He took her hand to shake, grinning.]
Guess all we gotta do now is find a cage. Man, I wish they'd given us a map. But I suppose it shouldn't be too hard to find, right?

Killer plants, people turning into dragons... since we arrived, there's a lot more magic here.
[he points down the street, at a high-rise ringed with balconies.]
I live just there, on the fourth floor.
[He tries to think if he's left anything incriminating out in the open, but nothing occurs to him.]

What? People turning into dragons?
[Killer plants seemed more in line with the TV World but turning into dragons was new. He had a feeling there was more and honestly, it was already adding to the anxiety of being in such a foreign place. Friends or no, it's a lot to take in.
He was a bit glad for the subject change as they approached the high rise. He let out a whistle.]
Looks neat already from the outside. Is this the only one or are there others?

Well, that shouldn't be too hard. We're in a huge city, I'm sure there has to be a pet store or three around somewhere.
[ Of course, considering some of the other stores that she's found here, exploring might not necessarily be the best idea. Sure, she'd be unphased walking passed a sex toy shop thanks to the last place she had ended up, but she's not sure what Yosuke's reaction would be to that.
Still, they really did need a cage.
Either way, she pulls her hand back.]
You didn't happen to pass by one of them earlier, did you?

[Did he? He had been looking at all the shops and stuff, but it was all a lot to take in.]
Honestly, I could have but I wouldn't even know where to begin to find it again. There's a lot to see out here. I came from that direction though, we can just backtrack. Sound good?
[He pointed behind him, there was a shopping district just a little ways down.]

[He pointed behind him, there was a shopping district just a little ways down.]
[ Okay, yeah, that was fair enough. It's not like Yosuke would've been paying much attention to the pet store at the time anyway. It's not like he thought of the cage idea earlier.]
Yeah, that works. It's as good of a direction as any to go look for one.
[ Hopefully they won't come across any more of the sprites until they're actually able to buy a cage, but she'll worry about it if it's something that actually happens. ]

[If Yosuke sees any sprites he's not going near the damn things! But for now, he leads the way towards the shopping district and begins to look out for the pet store.]
So you just got here too?
So you just got here too?
... Yeah. It's a lot different than back home was. And my home's actually pretty weird, going off what I've heard from other people.
[ She'll just... leave off the fact that she heard this when she had been taken to a completely separate world that wasn't her own. There's no need to complicate things by bringing that hellhole into the conversation.]

I don't even really know what normal is anymore myself, not after the year I had.
[Worlds inside of TVs, summoning the physical manifestation of your soul after being confronted by, literally, yourself... but he wasn't going to wonder too hard about it.]
I mean, things calmed down so maybe it is supposed to be normal but. [He laughs with a small shrug.] Even if your world is weird compared to mine, you like it, right? Besides, maybe my world is just weird compared to yours.
Perspective and all that, right?

... Well, yeah, to me your version of Earth is definitely weird. Mine has sapient animal people, some sapient talking regular animals, hover cars, a single world wide country, at least a couple of magical artifacts lying around, and a completely different system for counting years.
[ Not to mention the whole super powered martial artist thing. Or the fact that it's been blown up and restored by some magical artifacts.]
But yeah, I like it a lot. No matter how much I end up liking this place, I'm going to be pretty happy to be home. [ Assuming she even remembers being here that wasn't something to worry about right now. ]

But what I wasn't from Earth?
[Yosuke couldn't help but ask with a laugh.]
No, for real, your Earth is definitely pretty different. Like, out of a comic book or something from my end, but I guess I really have no room to talk with world in TVs and summoning creatures called Personas which I can't do outside of the TV World and...
[A huge sigh.]
And I don't think I'd trade it for this world. I met some really fantastic people, y'know? But hey, I got to meet you too and that's a good thing from this place!
[As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he flushed brightly and looked away. If this world wasn't so... uh, charged as it were, he probably wouldn't feel so embarrassed but.]
S-Sorry, that probably sounded creepy, huh?
[Please don't kick him.]

[ Videl can't help but giggle at his first question... and then ends up going into full blown laughter by the end. Maybe if it had been a year ago she would've blushed from that statement. Or been angry, it was hard to tell.]
Maybe some people could take it that way, but I get what you mean. There's definitely a lot of great people that I've run into since I've been away from home. People that I'm glad I met. It's just... this place isn't home. [ And last place was a hellhole. ]
Honestly, I might as well not even be from Earth considering all of the differences I've heard people talk about. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that instead of alternate timelines or whatever that it's just two different worlds that came up with the same name instead.

[The laugh surprised him, it was also infectious and he laughed along with her. But he was glad she didn't take it the wrong way and understood what he meant. He had a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth, after all.]
There's no place like home, huh?
[There probably wasn't a Wizard of Oz on her Earth but the statement's meaning was all the same. Movie reference or not.]
Honestly, it wouldn't be that far-fetched at this point. Some people's Earths are completely normal, no magic or sapient animals or whatever. Super mundane. And then you have the other end of the spectrum where all sorts of things like magic and stuff is the norm instead. I think it's pretty cool.

There's at least two or three buildings. They're a little different inside, but not much...
They're easy to decorate, but not very big.
[Which means this won't be a good long-term arrangement, unless they find a bigger place... he can afford it, so it doesn't hurt to think ahead.]

Don't worry, I won't take up your space for long.
[He was grateful for the help but he definitely didn't want to intrude in Souji's home for too long. Just long enough to get the glitter off and into a change of clothes.
At some point he'll get his own place.]
Besides, after rooming with Teddie, I'll take whatever small space they're willing to give for now.

There's a futon in the living room; it would be fine until the moons are full.
[He's not going to dwell on how it might be less fine then. There are aspects of that he doesn't want to think about right now.]
I've been thinking about moving somewhere bigger, but it would be a waste all by myself.

[He feels the warmth creep up his neck at being reminded about the full moon stuff. Obviously he doesn't know all the details but he understands the gist, so it's more like he just feels awkward because yeah, it might not be fine if he's in the living room if/when that happens]
W-Well, like I said, probably won't stay for too long. I should be getting my item place soon enough, today or tomorrow probably, right? So we don't need to think that far ahead.
[He does perk a little at the mention of a bigger place.]
Yeah? How much bigger we talking?

I haven't gone hunting to see what's available yet... two or three bedrooms, and a bigger kitchen. Not as many stairs...
[There's an elevator up to his place, but he seldom uses it.]
Here.
[Here's the front door, anyway, and the elevator just beyond it.]

Two or three? Who else you thinking of then?
[A bigger kitchen made him laugh as he walked through the door with a small bit of thanks.]
You would want a bigger kitchen, not that i blame you. If I could do what you do in the kitchen, I'd want that too. What floor you on?
[He headed for the elevator once he saw it, he probably shouldn't track glitter on the stairwell.]

The fourth floor.
I'd been thinking about asking Chie, already. Naoto and Kanji already spent a lot of time together, so...

Yeah, that's fair. I actually haven't seen Chie yet. How's she doing?
[Once they were both inside he pushed the button for the fourth floor and tried not to fidget too much.]

[ Videl thinks about it for a few moments, since, well, yeah, things could be completely different. And she already knew about Earths that were closer to the ones that everyone else knew but where people had powers or something special.]
Yeah, you're right. That is pretty cool. And something we never would've found out about if we weren't brought here. So I guess that's another point in this place's favor?
