[Oh look, it's the loud boy from yesterday... only this time he's wearing a (slightly) embarrassed grin and waving at the video pickup.]

Hello! I'm Gon Freecss! It's nice to meet you!

[--and bowing, deeply, for a second before he bounces back to vertical.] I'm really sorry I yelled at everybody yesterday! [And really glad everybody but Killua just heard him over the phone, so he didn't hurt anyone, because that would have been really bad...]

I understand about this place now, so don't worry. But I wanted to ask if anybody could tell me more. About the animals here, or the Animus, or anything!

Thank you very much.

[BOW.

Oh boy he hopes that makes up for it. He doesn't even know who that girl was who sounded really scared.... quickly, he grins at the video pickup, and cuts the feed.]

Exactly! Not just the buildings though. Out here, there aren't many of those.

[He looks around at the rubble and laughs.] Yeah, I guess you're right!

Okay... do you know what it would smell like? Or just anything different?

[He's already closing his eyes, lifting his face to the slight breeze as he sniffs. Damp and mold, a little scent of trees (pine? Fir?), clayey mud, rust....]

It'd be a really sudden change. Like everything smells normal, and then suddenly, there's a line, and everything's different on the other side!

Okay!

[Eyes still closed, he sets off, sniffing the air for any hints of strangeness. If it's a sudden change the scent should be spreading out a little....]

There's something weird over there....

Then let's check it out. [Point, point.]

[It's barely a whiff on the wind at first, but then he turns left and suddenly it smells like a different world.

His eyes pop open. It doesn't look too different, rubble and scrub, but he doesn't think he's seen a bush with leaves exactly like that one in the half-destroyed brick planter anywhere else....]

Here!

Really?

[He hops up to a higher location to get a better look at the surroundings all around. Then he grins.]

I don't recognize it.

Okay. So... [He frowns thoughtfully, then brightens and brandishes his PCD.] The rules are, every new creature we find we take a picture of, and when we meet back up here the one who has pictures of the most kinds wins?

Deal. Loser has to walk Aizen.

You're on!

[He grins, turning in a slow circle to check the area out.] So.... Let's meet back up at sunset!

On the dot.

Ready. Set.
