Hello? Have we met before?
I... think so? You look familiar.
That's what I thought!
I don't know where I've seen you from, though. I know everyone on the island... mostly.
Island... ?
Island. The island we live on.
I don't live on an island!
That was apparent. There are some of us who live very far out. but I've still seen them before. You, though? I've never seen you. Not in person.
Well, I could say the same about you! I know everyone in town, but I don't know you. Somehow, though, we know each other!
Do you have any clue how we've met?
Not at all.
Very helpful. Well, if we can't figure out where we know each other from, let's—
Get to know each other!
… Yes. How did you know...?
Hehe. Sixth sense?
You're insane.
So let's get to know each other! I'm Cherry, mayor of Poet Town.
I'm Rhubarb... not anything special, really.
Hey, don't put yourself down! Everyone's got something special in them.
I don't like talking about myself very much, sorry.
Oh, that's fine. Is it just the more 'introspective' stuff, or talking about yourself at all that you dislike?
Uh... I guess just the deeper stuff. I can talk about what I do for fun just fine.
Then let's do that! I like gardening and beekeeping. I also like to write, and folks say I have a knack for building!
You do all of this, and you're the mayor of a town?
I can still have hobbies! I'm not busy all the time!
...Sorry. I honestly don't know how busy a mayor would be... we don't really have those on the island.
Really?
Yeah. There's a few towns. but no official titles...
Interesting. ... So. what do you do for fun?
Oh. Right. I… like to explore? And... I like collecting things, and mining.
What sorts of stuff do you collect?
Treasures, mostly? Things like... armor trims, records, and... Well, I used to collect more. but there's... been same issues.
Oh no!
I don't want to talk about it.
…
Don't pout at me, you're a grown man. We barely know each other. I don't want to talk about it.
Sorry! It's, uh, habit.
… Anyway.
What's that device you have?
This? It lets me talk to everyone else on the island. Even if they're far away.
Oh, communicators! A few of my favorite townspeople have those!
Only your favorites?
Hehe. Can I see yours? It looks different from the ones I've seen.
… Alright?
Hello? Where is this? I've never seen this before! Can anyone hear me?
Are you typing on my communicator—
There's new people in there!
Those are the other islanders! Can they even see what you're saying?
I don't knowww!
what
hi
hello?
Oh my God.
Oh! Hello! There's people here! I'm sorry to show up uninvited, but it's nice to meet you!
you're cutting out a lot.....
The signal's weak?
Yeah... I'm starting to feel weird...?
The signal's cutting out... It's getting harder to send messages... I think I have to go. My name's Cherry! Bye!
bye…. ?
Did you tell them your name?
I tried! I don't know if it went through!
I hope it did. I think I'm starting to… wake up? I'll-
See you next time~!
… I guess.
