[The video that opens up is surprisingly dark, the only light source being from the comm itself. This in turn makes it very difficult to make out whoever's on the other end, but one thing is clear: It's not normal. If one were to squint hard enough, you might actually swear this is some sort of giant stuffed animal, a rather...panicky looking stuffed animal by the way he seems to be breathing. The itty bitty ears on the top of his head appear to twitch often, and his eyes dart from side to side when he swears he just heard something.

But when the coast is finally clear, said stuffed animal takes a deep breath begins to talk like he's been holding this in for forever.]

Okay okay okay, I am a poor, sad, frightened little bear right now, and I've been crying for hours now and Yosuke STILL hasn't saved me yet. ...Which by the way, is super RUDE!!

[Learn to travel dimensions already Yosuke, god.]

B-B-But there's one thing I need to know bearfore I start crying again.

...Are there topsicles in Americaland?! 'C-Cause if there aren't, I don't think I can do this you guys! ...You guys... Who even are "you guys?" I want my guys... Guys...

[His voice dies out into a tiny whimper and- Oh god, he's sitting in a closet, isn't he?]

Are you really a bear? From earth?

[because it's dark and she can't be entirely certain, and this is obviously the most important thing to pick out of this post. she's had a recent conversation about animals and this is running counter to a few of those points, ok.]

[Teddie isn't sure how to respond at first, the other person is somehow less scary than what he'd expect. ...Although why he'd expect something terrifying to respond to him at all in the first place is forever a mystery...]

I'm a really real bear that's been on Earth. ...I-If that counts.

[America currently debated for being on Earth.]

[bindsthedead]

[It's a talking stuffed animal. And it's...

It's adorable. So Sabriel speaks in her gentlest voice.]

Yes, there are popsicles. And while I'm afraid Yosuke isn't here- as far as I know, everyone you'll speak to on these devices was brought here, just like you.

[kingofthetvworld]

No no no no no no no-

[He tries his best not to throw himself into another tantrum, and boy is it taking a lot of willpower. Despite being dragged off to...this, somehow this place is the first place where girls have willingly spoken with him. And they didn't even yell at him!

...Yet, anyway.]

Not popsicles, topsicles. It's like a popsicle...but different.

[video;]

[rassera]

[Honestly, had he just arrived, he'd be a little weirded out by this. But since this place attracted all sorts of folk, you had to learn to really get past that.

Man. What even happened.

But he's used to weird things like this now. Bull, Sonic, that lion, now a bear. So he'll skip the talk about the 'what are you' (because honestly, it's obvious what he is) and go right to the--]

What the--are you sitting in a closet?

[I guess that's one ice breaker.]

[video;]

[kingofthetvworld]

It's my den, I've claimed it as my own.

[To be fair, Teddie won't complain is someone chooses not to question his bear status. It's a very tiring question, okay? Still, back off on the closet, bro.]

[brushoff]

[ .......what the fuck ]

That's not a bear.

[kingofthetvworld]

[Frustration builds up, yelling occurs.]

Grrnah!! You're not a bear!!

[That's the science lesson for the day.]

[driftsintobuffetline]

[He's not sure if he's intrigued or concerned and wonders if Hermann would be interested in this. In any case, what the hell is this bear? He frowns and squints at the darkened screen, tries adjusting the image brightness/contrast on his own end and it doesn't help his confusion.]

Sentient stuffed animals? What is this--where's the Sixth Sense kid? But yeah, if you're looking for popsicles, those definitely exist. I've at least seen those rocket pops, the red-white-blue ones.

Video

[kingofthetvworld]

[Like any dignified creature, Teddie begins to pull on his ears and growl, dropping his communicator in the process. Because if there's one thing that frustrates a bear, it's the specifics of frozen treats.]

RAWR! Noooo, I said topsicles! Topsicles! It's like a popsicle, but it starts with a T! Just like Teddie, c'mon now!

[Incidentally, as it drops, the angle makes things...just a little bit easier to see. There's definitely a zipper around his neck, so it's not so much a sentient stuffed animal as it is...a sentient mascot suit.]

[ Peter thinks this is just so hilarious. Look at this thing suffer, he could almost laugh. But, he remembers that he needs to play the hero bit. So he sounds sympathetic if not with a mix of optimism. Also british. ]

I'm sorry to say but it's likely your friends are not here, however, there is a chance they may arrive.

But, think of it as an opportunity, chum.

voice

[kingofthetvworld]

[Teddie doesn't even know what a Britain is. It's like... it's like this guy speaks in magic and it's wonderful. He'll only keep listening if only for that.]

W-What...what kinda opbeartunities are we talkin' about here?

[Because really, any sort of silver lining would be great to hear right about now. Even from strangers who somehow think he's fish food...]

[maime]

[Ok, Maine is definitely sensing a theme here. And there's a prime opportunity to be profoundly unhelpful, which is one of his favorite things to do.]

so you're saying you couldn't bear to be without them?

[kingofthetvworld]

[Oh hey, it does words. That can only mean one thing. Time to butcher some language.]

tHT S eXACTTLY wut I'M TALKIN BUOT!!!!1

[He's not...he's not so good at texting.]

[glitterateur]

[If this cute thing wants to call himself a bear then it can be a bear.]

Do you need saving from something?!

video

[kingofthetvworld]

[Finally, someone knows how the animal kingdom works.]

Yes, I sure do.

[Drastic pause.]

From my intense loneliness.

[ursawhiner]

What's a topsicle? Can you even eat that? Because you're a bear?

[Asking the important questions.]

[kingofthetvworld]

It is a known fact that bears can eat anything, so YES.

[Look at all these people who can't even science correctly.]

And it's like an ice cream. But on a stick. ...And no, I don't eat the stick, either. Yosuke always yells at me if I take even the tiniest nibble.

video

[resipiscent]

[Topsicles...]

Ice cream?

video

[kingofthetvworld]

Y-Yeah, that's right! The most sugary delicious wonderfully scrumptious treat in the whole world!

[Just talking about it momentarily brightens him up.]

Have you heard?

[text]

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

[That is the strangest Teddiursa he's ever seen.]

your first problem is depending on people to save you.

in order to answer your second question you'll need to explain topsicles.

[voice]

[kingofthetvworld]

[Ohhh no, the last one who texted him was a huge jerk. As such, Teddie sticks this to voice. There's no way he's putting that much effort into texting if it's just for another possible bully.]

I always depend on everyone to do everything, it's just easier that way. Yosuke's really good at it, too, so he'll come around eventually.

...And if I tell you what a topsicle is, are you gonna make me feel bad about it?

breaks... hiatus...

[dormition]

[Minato, for one, doesn't say anything about whether he is or is not a bear.

He does say, blandly,] Do you want some help coming out of the closet?

... I'm Minato. Since you asked.

[driftsintobuffetline]

[He's just glad somewhere went there.]

[rideme]

... What the fuck am I even looking at here.

[kingofthetvworld]

[GASP]

Y-You're not suppose to say that!

[He keeps his voice hushed and everything, looking over his shoulder to make sure no one hears. ...Even though he's in a GOD DAMN CLOSET. Shame on you.]

[amadaman]

Topsicles...?

What are you doing in there anyway?

video;

[kingofthetvworld]

I-It's ice cream, okay? It's just ice cream on a stick, gosh. Why doesn't anyone bearlieve me that it's a real thing...

[Sorry, he's...had to explain himself a lot today.]

And can't you see? This is my den, I'm a bear! Bears sleep in dens, I'm normal...

voice

[buildsfriends]

Ahhh, god. God-! That is just. That's so sad, when you don't know where your guys are-! [Tearing up. Sniffling. Sympathy crier over here.]

I know how you feel! Where ARE your guys? Where are MY guys? Ahhhh-gah- GUYS! Guys, where are you?!

voice

[kingofthetvworld]

[Having just spent the majority of his day defending himself, Teddie can only assume the worst.]

You...You're just making fun of me, aren't you?!

audio

[restingstitchface]

[Sad. Frightened. Crying.

Post, where have you been all his life?

Now, does he find it strange this creature appears to be a bear, at this point? No. He's adapted, and he's reacting. Here's an alien creature exhibiting visible, readable emotion - and fear, at that. Those large eyes darting side to side; twitching ears.

He wets his lips.

Regardless, he can tell this bear something or two about being locked in closets. But for now, he chooses to be that horrible, haunting voice in the dark. One LOUD audio post, and he can give the impression he's...

right. there!]

Boo!

audio

[kingofthetvworld]

[NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE. It's one thing to be dragged off to some other place, it's another to deal with ghosts. Ghosts were not in the rundown - not that he listened very well - you don't just spring them up on poor, defenseless little bears like that!]

GAAAAAHHNNOOOOOOO!!

[Without even thinking, Teddie's instincts kick into flight mode and he tries his best to escape. ...However, he's in a closet...with the door closed, so all that really amounts to is him getting up and slamming himself into said door. The sound that follows is a nice, loud THUD, and the bear finds himself back on his bearhind. Great, back to square one, only now his face hurts. Thanks, ghosts.]

( video. )

[desequilibre]

[ Angriest man in all of the US come to talk to a children's plaything. Surely nothing can go wrong here. ]

Crying will solve nothing. [ It will just give him a headache. ] Do you want to be seen as weak?

( video. )

[kingofthetvworld]

[What's that? Someone ordered a headache? Coming right up!]

I AM weak, I'm the weakest! Oh how weak I am! Now everybody can send me home and I can continue living my weak little life, just get me outta here!!

video

[missleadingquestions]

'Americaland'? You know you can just call it America, right?

[Come on, buddy, don't be so frowny!]

I'm sure you'll be okay. They gave you a place to live, right?

video

[kingofthetvworld]

[Well that's not nearly as fun, Americaland sounds more like the world's most...adequate amusement park.]

Yup, they sure did... I've claimed a closet.

[It's his and no one else can take it.]

video

[khajidont]

Well... in case you haven't figured it out yet, you're talking to everyone who got ported in here, just like you. Which means that, um, Yosuke probably won't be coming. Or at least, not yet, anyway!

[Poor little... big... guy. The first day is rough.]

Don't worry, though, most people here are pretty nice!

["Most".]

video

[kingofthetvworld]

...A-Are you sure about that, 'cause I was attacked by a ghost and everything.

[Needless to say, he had quite the first impression when it came to this place.]

Video

[unbreaker]

...you mean you're what's been making that awful noise all this time?!

[Wait for it.

Waaaaiiiiit for it...!]

I think you broke the sound bear-rier!

[But seriously, punning is the only way to cover up how UNSURE Josuke really is with having a bear—stuffed or otherwise!—living with him and Shade.]

Video

[kingofthetvworld]

I can't help it, okay?! I'm exbeariencing a life changing crisis at the moment!

[Did no one else make a fuss or something? Why is everyone acting so surprised that he's so upset? The mind, it baffles.]

B-But in my defense, I didn't think anyone could hear me in here.

video

[huntergames]

... bear.

video

[kingofthetvworld]

...Y-Yes?

plz excuse my late, hahaha

[hoboagogo]

...You might be able to breath a bit better without that weird suit.

[He still has to figure out... what... he's looking at here. Certainly doesn't look like any bear he's ever seen.

I mean he's only seen one at the zoo in Nonah, but still.]

That is a weird suit, right?

I cannot bearlieve you

[kingofthetvworld]

No, of course not! I-It's my fur...

[He can't even bring himself to go on about how amazing said fur is. People have been questioning it way too much, it's a real good way to bring a bear down.]

I'm not weird... I'm normal, too... Really...
