001 | Text | New Bark Town

[Okay the new guy is just going to cut to the chase here.]

2 questions:

1. why am i human?

2. what is the fastest/easiest way to get home?

[There is a pause before his next text, realizing that he should probably be more polite about these questions.]

please respond asap. i'd really appreciate it.

[Perfect.]

[Darn, two people have said there was no way out. That's not a good sign.]

yes.

have you been here awhile?

[He thinks about that for a moment, doing some quick mental math before answering.]

In a few days it will have been six months since I first got here, I'm pretty sure.

six months.

[Gosh when you're five that feels like a really long time.]

i really don't like the idea of being here, sorry.

i have a family at home.

No, it's fine. I understand. I wish I could help you more, but there really isn't a way to go back to your home right now.

People do leave, sometimes, but when it happens it's usually pretty sudden.

i hope it doesn't take too long for me to leave then.

he's probably going to panic once he realizes i've vanished again.

[Perry isn't even fully thinking about the last text before he enters it. Darn that's probably too much information.]

[Okay, at least this is one fear that he can dissuade a bit.]

Actually, whoever is waiting for you probably won't miss you at all.

[...let's just keep texting because that sounds awful, Kaneki.]

Ah- what I mean is that time won't pass while you're here, so it will be as if you never left.

[Perry was just about to reply with a very stern letter before he gets the second response.]

oh.

really?

[SORRY PERRY the foot-in-mouth syndrome sometimes translates to text when he's trying to go about it a little too fast.]

That's right. If you end up going back home, you'll return right to where you left it.

[Gosh now Perry feels kind of embarrassed that he got so worked up then.]

well this situation is a lot easier now.

i'm also guessing that these "pokemon" are actually ours until we go home?

They are, yes. ...I don't know if you have it back home, but...this world is based on a children's video game. Or...more like it actually is the world of one, I guess.

It's difficult to try to explain.

so i'm stuck in a video game world?

[Well this sounds familiar.]

how did this happen?

Sortof? I've never actually played the game so I'm not sure how exact things are, but it was pretty popular where I'm from.

I don't know. Nobody knows, actually...people just show up here and can't leave. I don't think anyone's ever been able to come up with an explanation for it.

do we even have a hint of who's behind this?

[Because Perry might be tempted to go beat up whoever's behind this.]

Not that I know of. There are people who have been here a lot longer than I have, so...I'm probably not the best person to ask.

thanks anyway. your information was useful.

i'm sure i'll get the opportunity to ask more people since it seems i'll be here for awhile.

You're welcome.

Yeah, a lot of other people will probably respond to your questions. Maybe you'll get a different answer.

good to know. i probably shouldn't spam this thing with questions though. maybe i'll wait to ask more questions?

People here are really good about answering questions people have, so it's really not a problem. You might get some answers you're looking for in other conversations, anyway.

good point.

thank you again. might i have a name so that i can properly thank you?

It's no problem, really. My name is Kaneki Ken.

then thank you Kaneki Ken. i'm Perry

You're welcome. I hope you can find the answers you're looking for, Perry-san.
