[IC] [Old Radio/Waiting in Earth Crossover]

**Their travels bring them back to the cliff overlooking the ruined coastal city. Though it was the first visit for one of their party members - Miku, whom they'd met back at Kaito's home city. Since she acted so young and carefree, Kaito had tried to make their trip over as fun and happy as possible. But now that they were here, with the ghost town in sight, Kaito's smile sobered. This wasn't just a long camping trip. They had to get serious.

He shoved his hands in his pocket as he stared down on it. They'd probably want to pick up the supplies they weren't able to take last time. And more importantly, he really hoped that the boats in the harbor were seaworthy. The knowledge that their radio was in English was an excellent lead, but it meant that they had to get off of this island.**

Well... putting it in, but taking it out would be hard too. Look, the ship is bigger than the entrance of the bottle.

[Stares at it a bit more.]

I wonder how much it cost?

... Wow, no idea.

**After all, what with the value of money, inflation and whatnot, he had no way of knowing how much things cost however long ago this ship was in service. Mekaito handed Kaito the bottle and went back to opening things.**

You and KAITO might know more than me about what things cost back then...

**his eyes followed the little Kaito, and then he looked around to see if there was anything he could investigate rather than follow him around and gawk**

[Miku watches him wander off in search of something else. She, on the other hand, was more than willing to follow around and gawk. She wasn't built for super-strength like the little powerhouse here.

Speaking of which, she leans over and whispers to him:]

What's gonna happen after we open all these? Are we really gonna go sailing?

Yes. We're going to "England."

**He's pushing some crates around so he can get further in.**

Do you know what it's like over there?

No. I just heard about it.

Oh. [Ha, guess they were both blind.]

I guess we'll see. Are you excited?

Maybe. [He tries to think if he knows what that word means]

Hmmmm... [She starts to think about it.]

I wonder if there's other Vocaloids there. Or maybe little robots like you.

I am one of a kind.

[She can't help but laugh. It's his serious expression that does her in, really.]

You probably are! But that's okay, it's better that way.

... You don't want more than one?

[She hums in thought.]

I think it'd be fun to have more of you, but maybe it's not my decision? You might have to ask KAITO and the human Kaito for another little Kaito!

**He thinks about that.**

Would I be a big brother then?

If he was made later than you were, yeah! [Oh, that gets her excited.] Little siblings are fun, too!

They are?

Yeah! You can teach them things and team up on your older siblings.

I kinda miss mine... I hope we'll be able to find them, too.

Team up?

Yeah. Sometimes we'd think of things together and trick our Brother! One could distract him, while we trip him... something like that. We used to play like that a lot.

That's playing?

It sounds weird.

[She laughs awkwardly.] Maybe for us, but not for him. He never got really angry or anything, though.

But, yeah, it's still fun to have little siblings! Just so you don't feel too lonely, sometimes.

Okay.

[He doesn't really get it, but whatevs]

[brb imagining a flood of little Mekaito. It's just. Too cute.]

**busts the last crate. It has spare life jackets! He has no idea what they are.**
