justkeptswimmingBrrrr! [Asahina can be heard before she’s seen clearly on the video. This is mostly because she’s too busy shifting her weight from foot to foot, trying to keep moving to keep warm. Her thin red track jacket is zipped up to her chin, partially obscuring her mouth.
The temperature maybe be in the sixties but it's certainly not shorts and tank top weather. The clothes in her backpack (which she did dig through before recording) aren't any better for the weather otherwise she would have found somewhere to change.]
Hello! My name is Aoi Asahina and I’m- [Oh geez, the wind just picked up. Time to start jogging in place. Body heat, don’t fail her now!] Ah, I’m looking for my classmates! Naegi, Kirigiri-chan? Fukawa-chan, Hagakure, Togami? If any of you are here I’m in, um-
[She lowers her PokeGear to look for a sign. The video falls onto a Slowpoke sitting near her feet. It turns to look at the camera, giving a “Sloooooooow…” in what might be a greeting. It also could have been yawning, it’s hard to tell. After a few seconds Asahina’s face reappears and she grins.]
New Bark Town! So if any of you are around, this is where Donut and I are! And if you’re not...I guess we’ll just start adventuring sooner rather later. First stop: a bakery!
[Because donuts take priority over pants.]

Should a bakery really be your first stop...? You must be freezing!

Date: 2014-03-07 08:03 pm (UTC)[Because gurl you're going to catch your death out there.]

Date: 2014-03-07 08:34 pm (UTC)That's part of why I'm looking for a bakery. I can't get back into the house I woke up in so I figure a bakery is the next best thing! I mean it has to be warm with all the ovens going.

Date: 2014-03-07 08:39 pm (UTC)Ain't there some professor over there? See if ya can grab a coat from him.
Video;
Date: 2014-03-07 08:39 pm (UTC)So Naegi is here? What about Kirigiri-chan or the others I mentioned? Do you know them too?
[Asahina, you don't even know this poor girl's name yet, stop with the rapid fire questions.]
Video;
Date: 2014-03-07 08:43 pm (UTC)[But she nods at the questions about her classmates.]
Naegi-san and Kirigiri-san are both here. So is Hagakure-san...I don't know about the others though...I-I'm sorry.

Date: 2014-03-07 08:52 pm (UTC)And what, exactly, did you want me to do with this information?

Date: 2014-03-07 09:04 pm (UTC)Ishimaru doesn't even think before he turns the device on, just because it's been so long that he doesn't remember that he should - that suddenly having dead people just show up on your device is often jarring and hideous and difficult to deal with. What matters to him right now is that Asahina is back, and she's okay - and she's rattling off a specific set of names that leads him to think that she's from a point where she's still okay, and - ]
...Asahina-kun! It's good to see you, though you really should focus on finding somewhere warm, bakery or not! Are you all right?

Date: 2014-03-07 09:46 pm (UTC)[So another one of Naegi's classmates from that academy show up. But more importantly, he notices how she's not dressed for the cold weather.
This young man looks a little concerned.]
You should get some warmer clothes if you're going to start travelling.
[TEXT]
Date: 2014-03-07 10:16 pm (UTC)In a rare move of consideration, Mondo decides to test Asahina first rather than send a video message which might just terrify her. Because you know, dead classmates and all that.]
hey asahina!
naegi, kirigiri, togami, and hagakure are all here
so you'll probably hear from one of them soon
but there are other people here as well
this place takes people from different points in time so uh
there are some people here who are dead
only we're obviously not dead now!!
[...maybe someone else should explain this...]

Date: 2014-03-07 10:59 pm (UTC)[Who is this kid and why does it almost seem like he knows her.]
Anyway, I know Naegi and Kirigiri are here but if those other three are, then they're some of your classmates I haven't met yet.
Oh, my name's John, by the way. John Egbert. I'm going to assume you don't remember me, but we spoke once when you were here before.
video;
Date: 2014-03-07 11:28 pm (UTC)...Ah, but that's not really important, right? She's here and that's all that matters. ]
Asahina-san! It's so good to see you!
video;
Date: 2014-03-08 12:29 am (UTC)But...warmer clothes...do you have any...? Or sending some, would that help...?
video;
Date: 2014-03-08 02:57 am (UTC)[ Not that you need some random blonde chick approving of your naming skills, but here we are. ]
[Video]
Date: 2014-03-08 03:03 am (UTC)Hiya! My name's Jimmy!
You look kinda cold...are you ok?
video;
Date: 2014-03-08 06:54 am (UTC)You seem eager to get on the road.
Have any questions that haven't been answered yet? I don't mind if you start running while chatting with me either.
no subject
Date: 2014-03-09 12:31 am (UTC)that's one big pussycatah yes, the signature Togami empathy. Thanks, friend.]You don't have to do anything with it. I just wanted to see if any of you were here too!
[video]
Date: 2014-03-09 12:32 am (UTC)W h a t.
Asahina doesn't answer his question right away, instead standing frozen and just staring at her PokeGear in shock.]
Ishimaru?
[IS SHE SEEING A REAL GHOST RIGHT NOW OR IS IT ANOTHER ALTER EGO SITUATION SOMEHOW? Because last she saw him he wasn't this, uh, alive.]
no subject
Date: 2014-03-09 12:57 am (UTC)Well, now you've seen. Do you plan to join us or do you plan to make haste in the opposite direction?
[video]
Date: 2014-03-09 01:00 am (UTC)[It's then that it seems to hit him that she's been acting...a little strangely, especially for someone who's coming back to this situation; the sudden shock strikes him oddly but at the very least it seems to make some things click back into place.
Sometimes people act a little weirdly when they come back, don't they? Sometimes it's because they've been through more things than they had been when they left, sometimes it's because they haven't and don't realize they had been gone. And sometimes...
...Oh.]
...It's all right, Asahina-kun. I'm alive here, and you're really talking to me - I can answer questions for you if you want me to prove it somehow.
