001 [video/action]

[Hello Luceti, you are greeted today with...an upside-down view for this person's entry. At first it might seem like the person holding the book is holding it wrong, but it'll become quickly apparent that he is holding it the right way, it's him that's upside down, possibly hanging from a tree as he examines the journal.]

So this thing actually works, and you guys can see and hear me, right? [A slight shake of the book, as if to confirm it.] Geez, this makes some of the books at home seem lame by comparison...

But I gotta say, I wasn't expecting to suddenly find myself here, and to think that there's actually people here too. Heh...I guess this is where everyone's been hiding out this whole time, huh? Not like it really matters anymore, this place already seems somewhat better than the last place I was at...

[There's a slight pause before he speaks again.] Actually, there is something I want to know. Have any of you seen a guy? About this tall [makes a gesture to try indicating the height, albeit somewhat inaccurate from where he's hanging upside-down], wears a locket, and kind of cries a lot? Named "Seto"? It's important that I know if he's here or not. If he is, great, tell me where he is, and if not, then don't bother worrying about it.

[And without much further preamble, he ends it there to wait for replies. But it's also entirely possible to spot him while you're out and about as well...]

Meowlnosso!

[Tao named them that, too bad for them. They'll have to deal with it.]

...Really? Their name sounds kind of stupid. [tonight on blunt opinions from Crow...] Why would people with ridiculous titles like that want to bring us here anyway?

Tao can't say it. It sucks!

[hence why she had to...make a variation of her own.]

And Tao doesn't know that either. Spear-a-mints, or something.

Oh, so their actual name is even harder to say than what you said? Great...

[On one hand, he might have to be grateful to these "Meowlnosso" guys for making it so that he was operational again. On the other hand, they still sound like suspicious people with dumb names.] "Spear-a-mints"?

[If only Crow knew Tao was just dumb at names...]

Yeah! Ex...exspear...Weird things that...make people do weird things.

[...experiments, Tao.]

...Right. [It's okay Crow might not really know what experiments are himself.]

What kind of weird things?

Things like switching bodies! Or being small when you're supposed to be big. Or thinking you're someone else.

[Bodyswaps, age ups and age downs, alter universes...not that she'd know how to explain such things.]

They can do stuff like that? [Okay maybe they are a little more interesting now...or that's possibly worse, actually. Not sure yet.]

Meow, that's right.

[Even after all the time she's been here, she's not sure either.]

Huh...I don't think there was ever any humans [or anyone else really] that was able to do that back over where the tower was.

I didn't think so either, meow.

[...Okay, he's gotta ask now.]

Why do you keep meowing like that? [Squinting at the journal. On closer inspection, this person wears a hood that's sort of like a cat? Hrm...]

It's just how Tao is!

Are you a cat or something? Otherwise that just seems stupid to meow for no reason.

Kind of! Tao is a Kaka! We're like cats, but not.

"Kaka"...never heard of it. [Of course you haven't Crow, they didn't have those back on your world.] So, what, they're like...cat-people or something?

[He's thinking along the lines of something half-human, half-cat...which would be incredibly stupid if it didn't at least look like that seriously was the case here.]

[She nods, and her tail swishing in the background very much makes it look like the case.]

That's right!

...Huh. I guess that's kinda different, since most people you see are just typical humans. [Not that there's really anything wrong with that considering that our best friend is one...]

It's the same in this village, meow. Does this mean Tao is special?

[Because it's better for everyone that there's only one of her, and not a whole pack.]

Well yeah, obviously. [But he seems to mean that in a good way since he adds] Being the same as everyone else would just be really lame anyway, but being special makes things more interesting, you know? [~~Non-humans represent B)~~]

That's right! If everyone was the same, that'd be boring and no fun at all.

[awwwwyeah.]

[He laughs--Crow clearly appears to be in a much better mood now than when he first started talking to people on here.]

Exactly! You've got the right idea!

[The good mood is contagious, it seems.]

Meowhaha! You too, Upside-Down Guy.

The name's not "Upside-Down Guy"... [And as if to prove it, he swings himself so that he's sitting upright on the tree branch once more.]

It's Crow! C-R-O-W!

[Forever Upside-Down Guy.]

That's too hard to remember for meow.

[...Even though it, for all intents and purposes, is much easier to remember. How...Tao...]
