[There's a boy on the screen, and he looks rather... confused. And pretty upset, too.]

Destroyed? But... we just... that shouldn't be possible.

[He clutches his scarf tightly.]

It's not possible. It has to be lying.

Anyway. Hey there.

[He smiles a bit, putting on as much of a brave face as he can.]

I'm new here, I guess. My name's Ryoji Arisato. It's nice to meet all of you.

[He pauses, as if he's about to say something else, but then reconsiders, thinks about it another moment, and then shuts off the broadcast.]

[Please let them all have made it...]

[thanabro]

[... Oh. Well then.]

Because something just happened to save the world.

[thanabro]

[He has a response, but... uh...]

What... are you?

[snowyvalemaiden]

[Xue chuckles and winks playfully.]

Then again, der be different kinda trolls 'ere from wat I be seein'.

[thanabro]

[... Oh my~. Well then. He grins a bit.]

Not really, except in shows and video games.

[snowyvalemaiden]

[thanabro]

Maybe I'll show you some, if we can find them around here.

Nice to meet you.

video

[snowyvalemaiden]

And dat be soundin' swell. Always lookin' ta seein' new tings.

[fracta_anima]

[WHO THE HELL IS THIS?!]

Did you say "Arisato"?

video

[thanabro]

[He chuckles gently.]

Well that's good.

What can you tell me about this place, though?

[thanabro]

[!]

Minako! You're here, too!

[You're both safe. ;w; ]

video

[snowyvalemaiden]

About as much as joo know mon. [She replied with a small chuckle.]

[Another Arisato? Shinji needs to see this with his own eyes. And remains rather unimpressed.]

...

Video

[thanabro]

[Ryoji stares back for a moment, surprised.]

[He shouldn't be alive... but then again, hadn't he just given up his life, too?]

... Shinjiro? You're alive?

[busstopsign]

[Siiiigh, here we go again.]

...before you start babbling off, I heard it all before. Yeah I'm alive here and supposedly dead everywhere else.

And before you ask, I don't know you. The Ryoji I was told about was an aspect of Nyx's Avatar.

video

[thanabro]

This network thing isn't so bad... but what do you mean by dangerous?

[thanabro]

[... Well all right then. He does flinch slightly at the latter part, though.]

I was... but I wasn't. I had Death inside of me for a long time, and when it got close to call Nyx, it broke away from me.

[Video]

[evokingfool]

[A Ryoji that knows Minako as well? Hm.]

No, I haven't seen the others yet.

[There's "Minako", but she's Minami...]

[busstopsign]

[He looks annoyed to be speaking to you at all, truthfully.]

Not quite the same from what I heard.

[thanabro]

[But Shinji-coon why. :c ]

What did you hear, exactly?

[Video]

[thanabro]

[He scratches at something underneath his scarf, looking worried.]

There's still no way the world could have been destroyed, though... right?

[Agree with him on this please, bro. ;w; ]

[busstopsign]

[Because he is Shinji.]

Tch. Heard this second hand from Aigis, Aki and Junpei, but you showed up a while after I was in a coma. You 'woke up' and eventually explained to Minako that you were the avatar of Nyx. They climbed up Tartarus to fight up and then Minako...she...
