THE FIRST ☠ VIDEO
[The video opens to a young man dressed in purple, looking a bit anxious.]
...Oh man, I really hope this thing is working. I don't think I broke it, but it's not like the 'Gear, so I don't know if it's actually transmitting...
[He studies it for a moment before finally relaxing. An easy smile crosses his face and he leans forward a bit, actually managing to look at the camera.]
Well, if this thing's working, then hi! I just woke up here this morning, so I'd like to know what's going on. The last thing I remember is going to bed in [the Team Rocket base, but he's not going to mention that] Goldenrod, and now I'm here. I don't think this is like that weird dream everyone had - this doesn't look like that castle, after all - but correct me if I'm wrong!
[He steps back from the terminal and reaches up to absently tug at the collar around his neck. For those of you who recognize this man, it might be a bit of a surprise to see that the collar is blue.]
Oh yeah, what are these for? I definitely didn't have this on when I went to sleep. It's kind of annoying, but I can't get it off. Is there any reason for that?
[Ryuunosuke pauses, tapping a finger to his chin in thought. As he's thinking, a strange ghost floats into the frame and starts pulling faces behind Ryuunosuke's back. He doesn't seem aware of it at all.]
I think that's about it. I guess I'll be here in the library if you want to come talk to me directly, otherwise I'll respond on this thing! ...Assuming it's working, that is. I'll feel really dumb if this isn't broadcasting...
[He reaches over to shut the camera off, still smiling innocently.]

[Video]
[Ryuunosuke wasn't expecting to see himself on the terminals, but it's not like he never considered the possibility of another him showing up. Still, actually seeing it is different.]
Can't say this has happened to me before! How's it going, me?
[Video]
Whoa, no way! You really do exist!
[...]
I mean, I kind of figured as much since some of the other people I talked to seemed to know me, but wow this is so cool!!
[Video]
Oh, heads up, we've kind of got a bad reputation around here, sorry about that.
[Video]
[He laughs, clearly not bothered by that idea any. After all, he didn't really do too much while he was in Johto.]
So how is it here?
[Filtered Video]
[He fixes the message briefly so it's locked to just them, even though half the tower knows he's a serial killer already. There's still the other half that hasn't been paying attention.]
On the one hand, there's lots of stuff that can kill people here, more ways than I ever could have at home, which is cool! On the other hand, nobody stays dead no matter how you kill them. It's kind of weird. Not bad, you'll never run out of victims here!- but weird.
