☄ 001 | Video; ID reads "Gran"

[When the feed clicks on, a boy stands there, about fourteen or fifteen years of age. He seems to be dressed rather oddly: a white and gray bodysuit, hair styled up into what can only be reminiscent of a flame, white boots, white gloves...one of which he's adjusting as the feed boots up. To be honest, he looks like something out of a Star Trek expy. He doesn't seem to really be paying attention TO the feed at first, getting a detailed look at his surroundings before addressing. As if the broadcast HE chose to make was only second on his list of priorities. And even then...when his voice speaks up, it's like a gentle wave among the ocean.]

Humans have a saying: A thousand mile journey begins with a single step. [His eyes close slowly, smile spreading across his face.] And it seems I’ve taken my first into this world. From what I’ve been told, I’m still on Earth. America.

But not the one from my dimension.

I see... So that's it.

[He doesn't seem the least bit surprised--that had been saved for earlier when he'd first arrived. Now he had to be cool and collected, as if all of this had been simply musing to himself.]

I am Gran of Aliea, and it's nice to meet all of you. I’d like a little more information than what this file--or those men in suits told me about this place. I'm afraid I don't know quite all there is to surviving here, or how long I will be staying.

I have friends waiting for me, after all--I can't keep them waiting.

…

And if anyone could give me directions on where I can buy a soccer ball...

Thank you.

[ Humans have a saying = this person isn't human = YET ANOTHER FOR TEAM ALIEN. ]

Still on Earth, you said? That's good, that way I don't have to worry about the Earth 101 crash course.

Ah, yes. I was on Earth back in my dimension too.

When you get down to it--Earth's not so different inbetween dimensional planes...It looks the same from space, right?

[Someone who doesn't know everything?! Oh man, been there, done that. At last, he's the experienced one. All his hardships have finally paid off, he can educate someone else so they don't have to go through the same trials he had to when he arrived to the city.

He's waited so very long for this day.]

The automatic toilets aren't actually haunted, zura.

[You're welcome.]

[Hello, Hiroto. You are being responded to today by a boy not that much younger than you! Ken's answering the video while walking.]

Explaining the first part will take longer, so I'll answer the shorter one: Unless you're in Maurtia Falls, I know good sports equipment stores in all the imPort cities. Where are you?

What system is Aliea in?

[sorry but she gives literally zero shits about catching you up with this world and your dumb stupid made-up sports. it's all about that space shit, yo.]

[What is he looking at. That's...clearly a dog--but with flame eyebrows and swirls on it's cheeks.

Green eyes widen as he takes in exactly what the feed is showing him. All his time back home he'd never once believed in imaginary creatures. And there was nothing that really summed up this animal. Sure--dog might work, but it was obvious this was no ordinary dog.

And it was...talking to him.

There's a soft noise of surprise as he looks at Komasan over the feed...letting this all process...]

Is that so...

[His smile widens at the creature, eyes softening once more.]

Thank you for the warning. I'm sure that would've surprised me.

[Even not knowing what this strange little guy is, he's cute and welcoming. He'll extend the same.]

Yep. No matter what Earth in what dimension, it looks the same from space.

Ah, give me a moment.

[He's just going to do a quick check of the Porter he's currently stationed by.]

De Chima? Is that familiar?

I-It surprised me, too, zura. The city is so monge~ scary sometimes, but that's just how it is, zura.

[It's a good thing he's here, he probably just saved this young man from having, like...a million heart attacks. Komasan is a hero.]

The white stuff on the streets, zura... You won't die if you step off those either, zura. And the moving stairs, don't stare at them too long or else you'll get dizzy, zura.

Really familiar.

I'm Ken. I was on the way to go get some stuff myself, so I can show you the way. I can be at the Porter in a couple minutes.

[Sorry Lapis. If you're looking for anything specific, it's not with this boy.]

It's a single planet orbiting a star--the Aliea system. I couldn't tell you exact coordinates, I'm not a pilot.

Somewhere in the Yaegellus cluster I think...

If you follow Kinsei's comet it'll lead you to the edge of what humans call a solar system. In Earth terms--past Pluto.

Located in the Moroush constellation. That's where Yagellus is.

...[A soft, grateful smile.]

Thank you, Ken-kun. I'll wait here for you--I'm not usually prone to wandering.

[He kind of sticks out like a sore thumb anyway.

[And what a hero he is. Who better than to bring to this place to help save it from evil, right?]

You sound really experienced about this world. I'm pretty lucky to meet you so soon after my arrival.

Can you recommend any foods? I'm a little hungry.

I've only seen it once, but that's comforting.

That maybe more than just the geography stays the same, you know? [One can only hope. He's displaced but...he still misses 'home' terribly.]

Of course.

[Ken thinks to himself that it's kind of funny, because months ago he would never have agreed to meet up with someone so easily. But today, as promised, he arrives at the Porter in just a minute or two. Wearing shorts, running shoes, and a hoodie with a backpack slung over his shoulder, Ken looks very much like a regular old sports kid. He smiles when he recognizes Hiroto.]

I take it you arrived pretty recently.

Have you had soft cream yet, zura?

[No one ever saw that one coming.]

[Lapis actually seems tentatively hopeful when he starts to give even vague details - it's more than she usually receives from other aliens - but even this fragile hope quickly drains out of her before he's even finished.]

...why doesn't anyone use markers that make sense?

[it's a hypothetical question, mumbled and not meant for Gran's ears. it seems like it's been forever since she'd had to navigate the neatly ordered facets of the Homeworld empire.]

It looks like our worlds are pretty different, then. Figures.

...

[Oh, his heart bleeds for this girl, and it shows in the way his eyes soften, his voice even more so.]

Are you one too?

Coordinates or not--we're not alone. Earth looks the same from space between universes, right? Maybe everything else is too.

Soft cream...

Like iced cream? Not in awhile, actually! I was tied up back in my dimension with...

soccer matches.

...

They sell soft cream at soccer matches, zura.

[Just...the whole thing about other dimensions totally flies over his head. That's not nearly as important as ice cream.]

It's not.

[she shakes her head, biting down on the familiar bitterness as hard as her lower lip.]

Homeworld doesn't exist here. The only thing that's the same is that I can't get away from earth.

[it wasn't as if Lapis were a stranger to be being alone, but this was a different kind of isolation. even trapped in the mirror, she knew at least that other gems existed. here she had been completely cut off from anything remotely familiar - and she still doesn't know if it's better or worse than the way Homeworld had left her behind.]

[Despite being displaced in a new world, Gran's face lights up when he sees Ken arrive, green eyes just a shade brighter at seeing his outfit. Ken's so...normal. Like what Raimon looked like before he'd been taken away.

It's hard not to keep that smile from spreading to his whole face.]

Ken-kun?

[At that comment, his eyes look to his outfit, raising his arms up a bit to get a better look at it. ...Pretty Team Galactic-esque, to say the least.]

Was it that obvious?

I mean, yeah. With that introduction? [There's a quiet laugh as Ken steps up to stand beside him, then points down the street in one direction. This way.]

The way you dress isn't going to make you stand out too much. There's a bunch of guys who still wear what they're familiar with from home.

So, what, did they just dump a bunch of newbies in here all at once?
