[001. video]

[The video snaps on to show Gon, at close range, with his eyes dark. He stares for barely an instant before the video blurs and refocuses on his cheek as he speaks into the receiver.]

This is how I talk to you, right? I don't know where you are yet, but I'm coming to find you right now. You'd better come out and fight me.

All I have to do is beat you, and this place can't last... right?

I'm gonna find you, and make you send me back, because I HAVE TO BE THERE RIGHT NOW--

[The PCD creaks as his hand tenses, and the feed dissolves into static.]

....What's going on?

[Rhyme's worried someone died again, okay?]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't even register that it's a girl's voice. She's in the way of him getting back. Coldly]

I'm going back.

[rhymebell.livejournal.com]

[She'll stand there, terrified and looking him weakly in the eye.]

You...can't

[Looks like someone is new]

Yo, they don' come out when told to. Dunno where they is, even. An' they don't come out to yellin', either.

[Yea, guess who tried it all]

[Snapping suddenly to a yell, because what is this guy saying and does he think Gon's going to GIVE UP]

-- Then I'll FIND THEM!

[... He likes this kid already]

Yo, I ain't stoppin' you. You gonna have to get in line, though. We all gonna punch them 'til they send us home.

[snarkypotions]

_{[Oh, he knows you.]}

By all means, if you can find a way of sending us all back...

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

[...how many people are going to call him who aren't his captor?

Gon hesitates for a moment before snapping at the PCD.] Who brought me here!?

[snarkypotions]

The Animus, apparently.

[Deep breaths, Killua. Deep breaths. This is what you do. And you do it for a reason.]

[pause.]

Killua?

Where are you? This must be their nen! If we just find the creator--

[Video]

[exarmatio]

Ah, w-whoa, please calm down...

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Who are you?!

[Video]

[exarmatio]

My name is Negi Springfield! Don't worry, I'm on your side. I'm a friend of Killua's.

[Killua showed him this a few moments before, actually.]

No one is going to hurt you. You aren't in any danger here.

[Video]

[genkireaper]

A-ah... That won't be possible. We're working on finding the scientists and whatever it is that brings people here though. It might be a malfunctioning machine, however.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Machine...?

[verlorenscasket.livejournal.com]

Calm down buddy. You aren't going anywhere any time soon. But don't worry. Whatever important thing you were taken from wont go on without you. It'll be there when you get back. Take a couple deep breaths and try to clear your head a bit.

[Video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

I have to get back--!

[yeah. No. Sorry. Deep breaths are not on the schedule right now.]

[video]

[impertinenti]

There is no way back, pest.

[video]

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Yes, there is.

[There will be. He'll make one.]

[ video ]

[byhisownrules.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, boy, but it's not that easy to get back from where you came from.

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

[He's calming -- a little -- by now, but that still catches his attention.]

Do you know how?

[No...it can't be. It takes Kurapica several wide-eyed moments to understand that the person on the screen is Gon, in the flesh. After that false-alarm with that person who looked like Leorio, he has to be sure.]

[checkmychainyo.livejournal.com]

[But then he sees Killua's comment chain, and he knows it's him. It has to be him; there's no mistaking it.]

Gon!
