[The screen is dark at first, the only thing people will hear is unique sounds before the screen clears up and shows a creature which is the source of said sounds.

It's a moment or two of the Chao, making faces, before an actual voice can be heard.]

What are you even doing?

[And onto the screen is Shadow, in all his black, red and white glory, looking mildly annoyed by his familiar's actions.]

This isn't a toy, and it's on. [He's not so dumb as to not notice that his phone is on, and recording something so... He'll address whoever it might be sending to.]

I highly doubt anyone here would know who I am but, this is Shadow the Hedgehog. If there is anyone by the name Rouge or E-123 Omega here I would like to know.

( There are so many talking animals here... This one seems mysterious and pretty cool, too... While she doesn't recognize the creature that's with him, she can't help but guess that it's his familiar. )

Oh hello, Shadow! It's very nice to meet you and your friend.

Were you able to contact anyone from home?

[ringsthatbind]

[Someone being helpful, isn't rare since a few others have also been helpful now on this posting. Shadow's expression softens though, he has a weird soft spot for young girls.]

No, no one from my home seems to be here. Unfortunately.

[agentlewish]

Oh, that's too bad...

( It's... a little lonely to be here without familiar faces. )

If it's alright, I can keep an eye out for them if they do end up coming here. What do they look like?

[ringsthatbind]

[Shadow will just repeat the description he gave Zidane, still being as equally descriptive with Tohru as he was with Zidane.]

I imagine they'd stand out, considering neither of them is human.

[agentlewish]

Got it! I'll do my very best to look out for them!

( They'll stand out, certainly. But... there seem to be a number of non humans here. )

You know, it's really admirable that you know your friends as well as you do.

[ringsthatbind]

Thank you, miss.

[And then... He bristles at that comment, about friends, just a little.]

They're my team, of course, I should know as much as possible about them.

[agentlewish]

Oh -- uhm -- you can just call me Tohru!

( Formalities are important where she comes from, but if she doesn't know his last name, then... perhaps a first name basis for both of them would be better. )

A team? Were you doing something important back at your home?

[ringsthatbind]

Alright then, Tohru.

[Again he's saying a foreign name carefully, so he doesn't mess it up. And his last name is literally Hedgehog, so technically everyone knows it.]

We do special jobs, but we had just finished one before I ended up here.

[agentlewish]

Special jobs? It sounds like you were doing something really important at home.

I don't know if this'll help, but... I heard that when you go back home -- it's almost as if no time has passed at all.

[ringsthatbind]

Hm, somehow I have a feeling that is just something they told us to keep us from being in a hurry to return home.

[agentlewish]

But... they've sent us here to help, and they've been taking care of us, too. I don't think they'd lie to us.

[ringsthatbind]

People with the purest intentions can still lie.

[agentlewish]

... You're right.

But... I don't think they'd do something to purposely hurt us.

[ringsthatbind]

You're allowed to think that, even if it may be wrong.

[agentlewish]

I'm sorry -- you don't have to answer, but... is there-- a reason why you don't trust the people who brought us here?

[ringsthatbind]

We're taken from our homes, why would anyone trust kidnappers?

[agentlewish]

You're right. We were taken from our homes, but...

They wouldn't have done something like this if they could help their world on their own. They didn't do it maliciously.

[ringsthatbind]

[He just lets out an annoyed sigh now.]

I don't think we are going to agree on this, Tohru.

[Because malicious or not, Shadow does not agree with the whole shebang.]

[agentlewish]

( She laughs a little, albeit it's nervous. )

... You're probably right. But... I think I understand why you feel the way you do, too.

[ringsthatbind]

Somehow I doubt that.

[He's not really one for getting such understanding.]
