[He'll stare at the journal for a long moment after turning it on, not realizing that it's ready for him to speak into. The fleeting thought that Watari would have a field day with this crosses his mind, and then he presses the picture button. The face looking back is inquisitive, but oddly relaxed. He clears his throat carefully.]

Would it be too much for anyone listening in on this to tell me where I am? I'm sure I don't remember and I can't seem to be able to get where I need to be.

[Action - the next day]

[Ambitiously, Tatsumi has decided to explore the woods some more, particularly where he woke up.  Since arriving he'd managed to get himself to the main part of the town, get some food and some more comfortable clothes.  The fact that he hadn't had to pay for it was surprising, but he supposed they'd simply been nice to him, and he'd want to pay them back.  It wasn't right to owe money.

He's sans suit at the moment, favoring a pair of jeans to hike in.  The wings hurt, even under the loose button-down shirt, and it doesn't help that his weakened shadows can't seem to leave them alone, curiously inspecting them.  They'd get used to it eventually.  Even weak as they were, he could still use the shadows to move himself along short distances, so he reaches the barrier around the middle of the day.  After a few hours - time to carefully inspect the barrier and to rest - he'll start heading back.  For anybody in the woods, It might be possible to catch him just leaving, walking for a little while to recover, or just arriving.]

[He cleared his throat, business-like, with fingers at his collar, patting it down. Tatsumi was pretty sure he'd figured out this communication device, so despite the fact that the sea-green starfish looked like a toy for an 8 year old girl, he attempts a video. What someone on the other end would see is a solemn-faced, blue-eyed man. Well . . . not too solemn, more like confused, and even a little annoyed . . . ]

Is there somebody who could tell me where I am, please?

[He'd never had to ask that before. Tatsumi had an excellent sense of direction, and there was no reason to get lost if one simply paid attention.]
