So...I can talk to other people this way, right?

[The video feed shakes up and down as Cambot nods.]

Really? Great!

...Wait, there are other people around, aren't there? Because crash landing in a space station ghost town wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Because... I'm from before Radiant Garden had refugees. I'm from your past, ten years, give or take.

[seasidememories]

...Whoa.

Seriously? It's like that time-traveling book they made us read last summer, except that book was boring.

This is insane.

So...wait. If you were my age ten years ago, you must've been all grown up once Sora got the Keyblade. No wonder I don't recognize you!

[beforethemoon]

Yeah, that's probably it. [He's not gonna mention to her that he probably wasn't in Traverse Town at the time.]

[seasidememories]

Hmm.

Okay. Well, how about an escape plan? Is anyone working on building a gummi ship? We're gonna bust out of here, right?

[beforethemoon]

... No, no one has. Not that I have seen.

You'd think the one dumb mad scientist would make an ExcapePodInator or something.

[seasidememories]

ExcapePodInator? Nice name!

I'll be honest, though, having a mad scientist here isn't very reassuring.

[beforethemoon]

He always names his things like that.

He's not the mad scientist you have to worry about here.

[seasidememories]

Uh-oh. Tell me?

[beforethemoon]

There are two mad scientists keeping us here because they want us to go insane reading bad books.

[seasidememories]

...

...

...I go insane reading good books.

Crud.
