[The video comes into focus, the view mostly of Shiki's face, and Shiki smiles. When she speaks, it's enthusiastic and effusive.]

Ah, there it goes! Hello, my Lalamon said that there might be others here from my world and that using the D-terminal would be the best way to contact them. [She pauses, finger to her chin and clearly thinking.] My name is Shiki Misaki, although you might remember me better as "Green," and I'm the head seraph of Prince's fanclub - the White Angels. In addition to Prince, I like 777, Tin Pin, and D+B brand clothing. [Her voice seems to be losing some of its cheerful tone.] If any of that means anything to you, please respond.

[Shiki smiles again, although this one is a little less bright, and the feed cuts out.]

[Well, you said to respond...]

I'm familiar with seraphs and angels of all sorts, though you're a lot less angular than the ones I'm used to. [Wait, that might have been an insult. Was that an insult?]

N-n-n-not that that's a bad thing or anything, really! Diversity is the spice of life and all that, b-but... shouldn't you have wings?

[video]

[headseraph]

[She giggles.] Nao-Nao was always saying I should have wings, but I always felt they were cheesy.

[video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Wait, so angels can choose if they have wings or not in your world?

[video]

[headseraph]

Well, yeah. I wasn't going to make everyone wear them all the time. We have a hard enough time being taken seriously without them.

[You'll have to forgive her, Ed. She doesn't understand that angels and stuff can be real in other people's worlds.]

[badluckbabe]

D+B?

What kind of clothes do they make?

[headseraph]

[She thinks for a moment.] Hm . . . I guess the best way to describe it would be stuff you wear to a club - lots of sparkly stuff. Some of it is kind of cowboy-themed too.

[badluckbabe]

Hmm, I could probably work that. Dark colors? I'm very into purple and black.

[headseraph]

Yup! Lots of pink, purple, and black.

[anon-text]

[whitefeather]

So you're from Shibuya.

[text]

[headseraph]

Yes. Are you from Shibuya too, mysterious texter?

[anon-text]

[whitefeather]

If I wasn't, Eiji Oji, D+B, Tin Pin and Def Märch wouldn't exactly mean that much to me. w

Anyway, there's a few people from Shibuya here. You're not exactly alone.

[Shiki. Hearing her voice makes Neku's guts drop and heart soar at the same time. Seeing the girl that was arguably his best friend again is just a huge confusing mess of emotions. So much so that he doesn't notice a lot of the weird things she says]

Shiki!

[video]

[headseraph]

Oh, Blue! You're here too. [Are you noticing the weirdness now, Neku?] Have any of the other Kindred Spirits shown up?

[video]

[scratchitti]

Blue? Huh? [Oh gdi not again]

video

[lovespinkbirdies]

Umm.... yeah, sorry. None of that means anything to me at all.

[So umm... guess it's time for a question.]

What's Tin Pin?

video

[headseraph]

It's the hottest thing in Shibuya! [She pauses to grab a couple of her pins from her hip bag before showing them to the camera.] You use pins like these to battle your opponent in an arena, and whoever's pin is left at the end is the winner.

video

[lovespinkbirdies]

[Oh. It's a game! Chika liked games! But it seems kinda boring though.]

Umm... how do you play? Are there pins that are supposed to be stronger than the others?

[Video]

[visionaryblend]

Man...This place must love Shibuya or somethin'.

Sup, Shiki?

[Video]

[headseraph]

[Someone who knows her name and looks familiar, well that's confusing. Oh, wait!] Ah, you run WildKat! Um . . . Mr. H, right?

[Voice]

[innermonologues]

Wouldn't it be easier to ask names?

[Voice]

[headseraph]

Maybe, but what if there's more than one person by that name here? And what if the people that got brought here aren't people that I know? I'd rather hear from everyone.

[Voice]

[innermonologues]

If you call out the names your bound to get the correct one coming to you.

[heartdive]

Why would you be better known as "Green," Shiki?

[headseraph]

[So many people who know her but don't know her, oi vey. She smiles.]

Because it's my codename! Joshua claimed Pink. [A beat.] Do I . . . know you?

[heartdive]

...Yeah. I can see him claiming pink as a color.

[ Sora scratches at his nose when asked the other question. how does one explain... ]

But, uh. I know a Shiki.
