[ The screen focuses on a teenage boy with bleached blond hair. He's tapping on the screen with a somewhat incredulous expression. ]

You just touch—?!

[ Then he shrugs, his shoulders barely visible with the angle he's holding the phone. ]

Okay! So, the future is now, technology is amazing, blah blah blah. More importantly! Can someone point to me on a map where the hell "Virginia" is, because I slept through most of my classes and other than "somewhere in America," I am lost. "You're going to live in some town in Virginia," they tell me. Did you know America is huge? Because personally, I had no concept whatsoever.

[ He considers for a moment, then adds: ]

And the first person to tell me where I can get some weed is my new best friend for at least the next day, or until I forget I said that. Whichever happens first!

... how bad is your tech where you come from?

[autorejoin]

Well! Cell phones haven't become mini-computers yet. For starters!

[dendarii]

But you do have cars. And airplanes. I hope ...

No one really cares where Virginia is, so don't bother.

How old are you?

[autorejoin]

Fair enough! And I'm seventeen, why do you ask?

[catchacold]

Discounts a lot of places. You can't get into a bar around here until you're twenty-one.

I dunno. Can't help you, man, I slept through like all my classes but I'm hoping to make headway on the whole Mary-Jane sitch, y'know? Gotta give me time, bro, just got here too but if I want something, I can find it.

I'll keep you posted if I do and I feel generous enough to share.

Well, it's a start, at least. I figure if I look around enough, I might get an answer.

I apparently work at an amusement park now so seriously, if there's not drugs floating around there then clearly this place is screwy and I don't want to be here any more. [What an amusement park without shady people dealing drugs???]

[ A young girl of eighteen stares at Katou, uncertain what to make of his introduction. ]

Um, I think that is... illegal...?

[autorejoin]

Possibly? Probably! Don't know, don't care. I'm more interested in where to find some.

[huntergames]

There's law enforcement on the network...

[ Is he really not worried about that? She doesn't know if she should admire that kind of bravery be alarmed. A bit of both? ]

Don't know where you can get weed but I know a really good brownie recipe.

[autorejoin]

Oh? You have my attention.

[sweetdreamsare]

Here, I'll text it to ya. Hang on.

[ And almost instantly 'Peter's Best Weed Brownie Recipe' is sent to you. ]

It's the best. Trust me.

There is no weed anywhere in America. The cold war stomped it out. We're all fucked.

Please tell me this is an amazingly fucking terrible joke. I don't want to live in a world with no weed.

The communicator actually has a map. Well, mapS; several.

But it's probably not wise to ask on the network for weed. [ SASAKI IS A POLICE OFFICE, KID, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ]

[ Video ]

[autorejoin]

Maybe I was more curious to see if anyone would actually answer than actually getting an answer! But nice to know about the maps, though.

[ Video ]

[dualismum]

And maybe the police isn't THAT dumb, but- you are new, so you'll probably be forgiven.

Anyway, the communicator has many options that would be good to explore. Like a list of imPorts, so you can find your friends, if you are interested.

Why would you want weeds?

[video]

[autorejoin]

Not weeds— "weed", singular. I'm not a gardener.
