cool guys don't look at explosions → hello joint intro

[bombtossing]

[ the feed focuses on what initially appears to be a single individual (clearly a newcomer from his wet appearance) making use of the network— ]

So! I take it this place is called "Vatheon"— at least, according to the conspicuous sign. A lot of new people turn up here, right? It seems like a sort of immigration system, but it'd be nice to know why—

[YES MINENE WILL TAKE THE WHEEL RIGHT NOW. You know how she probably would've been all over this by now? Well...now she is, and she's taking the communicator from her kawaii friend Akise. She's just as wet, and to contradict her "friend", she's not quite as calm.]

If anyone doesn't tell me what the hell is going on here, I'm blowing this place up!!

[As if to prove her point, a loud explosion shakes the background, and she smirks. At least her bombs hadn't gotten wet. Right?]

Better be glad this was abandoned. Next time you guys might not be so lucky! So hurry up and get some answers coming in, or else!

(( ooc: joint post between akise & minene— both of them will be responding! ))

[ pretty sure psychoanalyze is one word unless you're trying to make a pun here in which case that's not half bad..... ANYWAY— ]

Yep! I think it's best not to rely too heavily on it as well; especially if it isn't working per normal standards. Even the diaries aren't infallible— they're susceptible to misinformation if you know how to counter them properly.

[ yeah, that's a bad idea tbh— still curious how and if DEAD END's work within "vatheon", though. he's not against gambling with a person's life, but he certainly isn't going to do anything of the sort without knowing the full scope of the game— or, to put it more bluntly, knowing he's going to win.

ALSO CAN WE JUST SAY THEY'VE MADE A LOT CONVOS ALREADY AS SEEN DOWN BELOW— ]

I suspect Gasai's isn't working up to par, either.

[Oh. Yup. That's exactly what I was going for.]

Right. And I've been doing this a long time without a diary.

[Blowing up people and getting out of situations is her Thing - unless you're a Certain Detective named Nishijima and then she can't get away.

But he's not here, so.]

I wouldn't be surprised. I haven't seen the First yet, after all.

[ it's true minene wasn't a rookie with a cheat-sheet, considering her long-term involvement with terrorism; so she's really a respectable force to be dealt with out of all the diary holders, should you eliminate the aspect of the actual diaries.

which seemed to be their situation right here—

akise was the same— he operated without a diary. him and minene should work well together, based on that similarity alone if not anything else. he actually liked minene, too, so—! ]

I doubt he's even here, given the circumstances. In any case, I think it would be best for us to stick together for now.

[ annnd he's back to clicking through his sfc... ] Apartments are free here, aparently. How hospitable.

[bombtossing]

[She snorts -- slightly amused at Akise's estimations. But yes, following the reactions of those who had responded to them, the First wasn't even here.

The Second probably was not happy at all.]

Maybe. [She doesn't play well with others, generally, but she doesn't mind Akise so much. As long as he comes up with something interesting, that is.] I guess it wouldn't hurt for now.

[For now, mind you.]

Yeah, great. After dragging us here, they'd better give us something for free.

[ploys]

[ yes, of course, 'for now' considering minene was a solitary individual— but she wasn't stupid; impulsive, yes, but he already knew this about her and could get the edge by using that focal point of her behavior. ]

Right. Juuust keep in mind that nothing's ever entirely free. [ WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD JACKASS 101.

he pockets his sfc. ] I found our place if that's any incentive, though.
