Hello... you've reached Chihiro Fujisaki. I apologize for missing you, but, um... please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Plenty of dragons! She's probably the first person I've heard of that's said they were a dragon, but...a lot of people apparently used to be a lot of things other than human before they came here, so it's not too surprising.

[nullorvoid]

...Yeah, I've heard that, too.

What other stuff have you heard about? That people have claimed to be.

[codeforhope]

There used to be someone here who said she had these...companions of sorts, back in her world. I think she called them Digimon? ...and I think there's someone here who actually is one, normally. They're kindof like Pokemon, I think.

Then there was someone on the Network recently saying they were a...gem, or something, but I didn't speak with them.

[nullorvoid]

...Okay.

[No one going on about the afterlife, then; granted, if any of the people in that tower were smart, they wouldn't.]

It's all pretty weird, yeah?

[codeforhope]

Mhm. It's strange, but I try not to be too judgmental, if I can help it. For some, that sort of thing is just...normal, where they're from.

[nullorvoid]

What about you?

[The question is blunt, but it's not overly pointed or anything.]

Where'd you come here from?

[codeforhope]

[There's a bit of a noticeable pause, but he does answer before it gets to be too long of one.]

I'm from...Tokyo, originally.

[nullorvoid]

Most of the people I've met around here are from either America or somewhere I've never heard of, and I think there was some random girl claiming to be a former ruler of Norway running around. I like Japan, though, even if my experiences with it have been kinda mixed.

[codeforhope]

[Haha...so have his...]

Yes...it's...well, it's home.

[Though, it's a whole lot easier for him to say that this place is his home, now, but he won't.]

What about you, if you don't mind me asking?

[nullorvoid]

...My home situation's kinda weird. Just trust me, it's not anywhere you've ever been.

[codeforhope]

That's alright, I understand. It can't be much stranger than some place people say they are from.
