[The feed is initially dark and grainy, showing not a whole lot of anything, though there is sound. Specifically, the sound of someone taking a few steps, tripping, and falling over with a surprised sound that's not quite dignified.]

Ow...

[As the unfortunate new comer starts to right himself, his hand jostles against the device and closes around it automatically. The camera angle changes as the device is turned over, inspected, and then a very surprised and confused face appears on the feed.

Kaneki is pretty average looking, except for the eye patch. Right now, he's a bit scuffed, dusty, and what little can be seen in the faint light from the screen shows he's in the caves. He fumbles the device for a moment before he manages to hold it steady.]

Er... I think I'm in a hole...somehow. I don't know if there's anyone around or if I have reception at all but if there is someone...

[He offers a smile that's equal parts embarrassed, apologetic, and nervous, rubbing the back of his head with his free hand. Actually, maybe he's more nervous than the other two.]

I could use a hand, if there is.

Have you no qualms with being captured? I cannot stand it.

[He hesitates before answering.]

I'm not happy about it.

[But....]

A break from home might not be so bad, though.

...If you are the one that is hunted, you have my sympathies. It is not a way to live.

[Kaneki smiles slightly. She's a bit odd, maybe, but it seems like she's good-hearted.]

If I can ever do anything for you, just tell me what, Panne-san.

Please, cease with the formalities! We are all simple creatures, of the same earth. I require nothing from you.

It's not a formality! I really mean it.

[SIGH.]

Fine then. My first request is that you will call me Panne, and only Panne. In return, I will call you Kaneki. Is that sufficient?

[Kaneki blinked. So it was the -san she didn't like?]

O-okay! That's not a problem.

Good.

I have helped you all I can. You seem to understand the magic of the device; there are more people within the Mansion that can explain much better than I can, as I too have only just arrived.

[Kaneki nods. That makes sense.]

I'll look around and see what I can find out. I'll see you later, right?

Yes. Take care not to fall into any more holes.

...I'll do my best.
