[First, there's nothing on the screen except blue stripes on more blue. They fidget a bit, before a hand covers the screen and picks up the gear. The owner of the hand seems to be in the middle of speaking.]

--ou about stepping on my stuff?

[Through the fingers holding the gear, an annoyed teenage redhead is visible, frowning down at the Wooper previously visible. After a second he sighs, then looks at the screen.]

It's on? Rrgh, how did you -- [A sigh. He shifts his grip, moving the screen-obscuring hand. He looks kind of annoyed, the combined efforts of the Wooper and this...waking up in what he assumes is someone's idea of a joke thing. But he resists snapping at the public.]

Uh, hi.

....

Anyone else get one with a listening problem?

Yeah. I ain't jus' gonna leave widdout makin' sure of it.

[imprinting]

I'll help. Shiki might be around here somewhere too, and she'd probably yell at me if I didn't try to find her.

[Also you're his bro, but that's ~unspoken~ and he'd rather not have you emo about Rhyme forever.]

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Oh snap, you think they got her too?!

[EVEN MORE PEOPLE TO LOOK FOR, OH MAN.]

[imprinting]

[asdskjlk BREATHE MAN.]

I'm just saying it's possible!

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Well...

I getchu, Phones. This town is packed.

[imprinting]

Yeah.

Anyway, if they're not here...then they're at home, at least. That's not so bad.

[Y'know 'cause they're away from the monsters.]

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

If they home, I c'n live widdat. Le's bounce.

[imprinting]

Right.

[Time to finally get off his skinny ass. Watch as the Wooper sits there staring dully in the wrong direction until Neku nudges it with the toe of his sneaker to get its attention. Touching it hurts, okay, he only has so many options.]

I haven't really looked around at all.

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Me neither. I was too busy poke-fightin' dis crazy ass naked chick.

[Now that Neku's nudging at it, Beat finally notices the wooper]

Pfft, yo, is that yours?

[imprinting]

What? Oh. Yeah.

[....This isn't the weirdest thing that's happened since he's known Beat, so:]

.... Did you win? Against the naked chick, I mean.

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah! G-Dawg here spits fire!

[IT DID NOT SPARE HIM ANY HUMILIATION, but he will not mention this]

[imprinting]

[That's okay, he's already said enough to make Neku give him his patented "......" face.]

G-Dawg.

[He glances at G-Dawg. It doesn't seem...blinged out enough to be christened G-Dawg, somehow.]

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

[G-DAWG is smiling proudly! ...and Beat will certainly fix the bling problem if given the chance]

Tha's right. Watchu callin' your sea monkey?

[imprinting]

[...Somehow, Neku will not be surprised. :|a]

Uh. [He looks at the Wooper, which takes this time to wobble around purposelessly.]

I dunno. Some kid told me 'slimy thing' is too mean.

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

[he's... laughing a bit]

It looks stoned, yo!

[imprinting]

[asdkfj why must you.]

Yeeeah. It's been like that since I let it out.

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

[because it's hilaaarious.]

You could call it Dopey.

[imprinting]

[Dangit.]

What? No. I'll probably just call it Fish or something.

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

It works!

[imprinting]

Right, Fish it is.

[Fish the Wooper approves, even if its approval face looks like the rest of its faces. That is, '8D']

So where we going?

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Uhhh...

[He's already seen everyTHING in New Bark Town, but not everyONE. but that doesn't help figure out where would be a good place to go]

[imprinting]

[Well, Neku's been sitting on this step being antisocial.]

....

[C'mon Beat lead the way.]

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

[Well fine]

That way!

[IT IS A ~RANDOM DIRECTION~]
