-the hell do you mean I can't go back?! I was kind of in the middle of something!

Them's the breaks, kid. Suck it up.

But if I don't finish what I started, my friends are gonna be in danger!

...okay? Kisaragi, is it? Let me try this a different way... I. DON'T. CARE.

... Wow, your partner's kind of a dick.

He's right though. Yggdrasil doesn't care. Until he decides to send you home, you're not getting back to whatever you were doing.

[its_space_time]

...crap.

Well, at least I left that asshole in space...

[kung_fu_rider]

Yeah, that's how a lot of us feel.

...

Minus the space part. What's up with that?

1/2

[its_space_time]

Well, I've got faith in my friends. I'm sure they can handle things for a-

...

Space?

2/2

[its_space_time]

Ahhh... nothing, nothing! I mean, a...

A...

Parking space. Yeah!

Re: 2/2

[kung_fu_rider]

Parking spaces aren't great places to leave assholes, y'know.

Last thing you want is for some dick to bang into your asshole.

[its_space_time]

.....I'll. Keep that in mind.

Yeah!

SO, HEY.

What's the deal with this place?

[kung_fu_rider]

Depends on what you're looking for.

Yggdrasil's some sort of collector who wants to grab all sorts of people for something, and brings them here no matter what's going on in their life.

Lousy collector, though. Doesn't keep anyone in their packaging, lets people get damaged, doesn't take any care of 'em.

Basically? You're fending for yourself. And I'm guessing that dick with you is your new partner.

[its_space_time]

...Yee... uh, Gh-

[sigh]

Yggdrasil.

Uh, yeah! That guy. What is that, exactly?

...

But there's a lotta folks around here, huh?

[kung_fu_rider]

Some sort of digital world god, apparently. If I knew anything useful, I'd have punched him or her in the face by now.

And yeah, lots of people. Bunch of tamers come and go. I've been here... four years now, I guess.

[its_space_time]

...four years?! That might be a little too long...

...

Eh, guess I gotta make do with what I've got for now...

[kung_fu_rider]

Tell me about it.

Whatever the case, you're stuck here, so you may as well make the best of it. If you aren't confident in your ability to procure lodgings for yourself, head to Neon City. The Hyperion usually takes care of new tamers.

...

What's your name, anyway? Kisaragi something?

[its_space_time]

Thanks! I might just check that out!

But yeah. The name's Kisaragi Gentarou, and I'm gonna--

...

Guess I need a new goal.

Either way, you're pretty helpful!

For that, you're officially my first new buddy in this world!

[kung_fu_rider]

!

...

You know, you don't even know me, right?

[its_space_time]

That's got nothing to do with anything.

[kung_fu_rider]

...

Fair enough. More people could use a pal when they show up here.

Name's Kazama Akira.

[its_space_time]

The first of a bunch! I'm betting on it!

Nice to meet ya!

[kung_fu_rider]

Nice meeting you, Kisaragi.

You ever come into the Junk City Area, come by the Gedo Garage.

I'll whip up something for you to eat.

[its_space_time]

Ah, you work at a garage?

My Grandpa was a mechanic before he retired! Worked on all sorts of motorcycles in events and races all over the country!

[kung_fu_rider]

I own the garage.

So you've got an appreciation for bikes, huh?

Guess you've got some worthwhile qualities to you.

[its_space_time]

Sure do! I even--

...

Crap.

My bike didn't come here with me.

[kung_fu_rider]

...

That kinda hurts.

You can talk to the Wizards if you really want it. Otherwise? You may be out of luck...

Of course, you could get yourself a job and hire me to build you a new one. But it would take time, and cash.

[its_space_time]

...wizards?

[kung_fu_rider]

Wizards.

Think... Deus Ex Machina.

Or if you're not familiar with that term... a one-time cheat code for a video game that will give you something you want, within reason.

...

So long as you can deal with the fact that they're kinda crude.

[its_space_time]

I can deal with a lot of crude dudes.

I'm good. Thanks again!
