Wow, this virtual reality world is pretty cool. I’ve never seen anything so real before. It’s like this computer is really here. And the city looks pretty cool too. I thought I saw a Mets poster outside when I looked out the windows. I haven’t gotten an answer to my email yet. Maybe Reborn is playing a mystery game with me. I hope I solve the mystery soon so I can get to my practice.

You've never...This is child's play. I agree that it's probably a pain-in-the-ass game, but to have never seen anything like this before, you would have to have been in a third-world country or something.

[baseball_baka]

Really? It's pretty cool. I can't even feel a VR helmet or anything. Reborn is going all out for this game. It's going to be a lot of fun.

But no. I'm from Namimori Japan.

[quietnoiz]

VR Helmet? How ancient.

Namimori...? Is that even still there?

[baseball_baka]

It is! Or was, I guess. If I believe this letter thing. I still think it's probably Reborn wanting us to play another game with him. That kid is really energetic sometimes. But I really have to get to baseball. But it's good to know my email is still working!

[quietnoiz]

baseball...People still play that? I figured that was a game for old men.

And what the hell is Reborn? Sounds like some weird video game.

[baseball_baka]

A lot of people do! It's a really great game.

Reborn? He's just a little kid, but he likes to play pretend that he's in the mafia. It's a pretty fun game but sometimes it gets really crazy and serious. I thought this might be another one of his games.

[quietnoiz]

The mafia. Seriously, you know some messed up kid.

[baseball_baka]

You never played cops and robbers as a kid? It's like that.

[quietnoiz]

Didn't really play much as a kid.

[baseball_baka]

Oh? That's too bad. But that just means you have to play now. Enjoy yourself and do kid things once in a while. It's not that bad.

[quietnoiz]

What. No, unless it's Rhyme, I'm not interested.

[baseball_baka]

Rhyme? That sounds like a fun word game or something. You must e very smart.

[quietnoiz]

Word game...No. It's a fighting game and...you know what, I don't have time to explain this.

[callmesavior]

This world is not virtual, I assure you. Please make yourself at home, and I will return you to your world as soon as possible.

[baseball_baka]

That's a really funny joke, Callmesavior-san!

But I guess I will. It'll be like a vacation or a training camp.

[teitantensai]

For curiosity's sake, where did you arrive?

[baseball_baka]

A skyscraper I think. I know I saw a sign for the Mets and the Yankees too. So I'm guessing this is New York. I've seen pictures of it before and in movies so, some huge building in New York.

Why?

[teitantensai]

This is New York, yes. Was it this tall building? Did you arrive on the top floor?

Information gathering.

[baseball_baka]

Hey, that's the one! And right on the top floor. You can look out the window and see for miles and miles.

[teitantensai]

Thank you.

[baseball_baka]

You're welcome.
