[Who's glad that the curse is over with? This guy right here. It's much easier to do damage control on something intangible like fear after the fact than to try and defend people from it and, honestly, it made him feel totally useless.]

Yo, Vatheon's been pullin' some nasty tricks. First yours truly here slept through a friend's birthday, then this whole...shit [that's about all he can say to describe it] with the...fairies? Had to happen too. Now I'm just noticin' a good chunk of pals from my world are gone! I'm sick of this, man, who wants to go hit up the arcade? Or get some comics? Maybe hit a few balls in the park, seriously, somethin' needs to happen besides all this doom and gloom over here.

[There's a pause as he looks for a way to filter the broadcast before becoming too impatient to do so and sighs.]

Hey, Yukari, happy birthday. Left you somethin' in your room, didn't wrap it though, sorry.

[And it's kind of weird, too. Hey, giving girls bunnies is Akihiko's thing ~~in another universe~~.

Either way he switches off the feed.]

[Uh-oh, Junpei's pretentious jackass radar is going off. He probably speaks French, too.]

Chess? Not my style, man, if anything Shogi's where it's at.

[Yeah he's played Shogi. He spent a lot of time without a social life in middle school, so sue him.]

Name's Junpei Iori. I'm guessin' that you're new here. [And that he's foreign. What the hell kind of a name is Lelouch? Lamper...lamper...Lamcchi???]

I know how to play Shogi as well.

[And he does, of course, keeping up that amiable smile. He learns about others by playing games with them when he's in a situation like this.]

I am, yes. I take it you're not? I'm sorry for your loss, all the same, it must be difficult losing your friends -- that being said, I will do my best to offer some sort of distraction.

[That part is genuine. He knows what that feels like all too well.]

Oh, cool. Guess we can play some time. Might be a little rusty, tho', s'been a while since junior high.

[And Junpei doesn't know how to be anything but genuine, so he just shrugs. He's sad about his friends going home (especially in the case of Minato there have been some very strong hints that he's no longer among the living) but--]

Don't worry about it, Lulu. They got important stuff to do back home. My best bro especially, being our leader an' all.
