This place sure is different from home, huh? I never knew buildings could be so big! Eighty or more floors, that's taller than any building I've ever seen.

Does anyone here know their way around the city? I wouldn't mind checking it out, but better with someone who knows than alone, right?

[there's laughter, after the initial click of the recorder, deeper and certainly more different than the normal.]

Aha? This is new. Is this what they meant by 'curse'?

[more laughter, followed by the rustle of clothing] This is so cool. Oh, hey. Are these skates? They look so different--

[a whir of motors, the whine of wheels against a floor, and then there's the surprised yelp, a crash, and the sounds of a gangly body meeting the floor before the recording cuts out with another mighty cacophony]


((Body-switch curse? Why yes.))

[there's a click, then some fumbling, as if a particularly curious teenager were prodding at the poor laptop]

Ah, hey? Does this thing work? Hello?

[light laughter] Can anyone hear me? If you can then, ah, this is Yamamoto Takeshi. I'm not too sure what's going on, but-- [another light chuckle, followed by a shuffle that might be a shoe scuffing along the floor] If there's someone here called Sawada Tsunayoshi, it'd be greatly appreciated if you could tell me where he is. If he is here. Where this is would be great too. See, there's something I have to be at right now, so--

[a rustle, then a faint clatter of a keyboard, and abrupt silence]
