[Adam clicks on the voice. He sighs slightly. When he speaks, you can tell he just really doesn't know what to think.]

I'm sorry in advance.

[You hear the tell-tale signs of a cd being inserted in a boombox. After a while, this song starts to play. All three minutes and nineteen seconds of it. When the song finishes, Adam speaks again, sounding slightly bemused as well as confused as all hell.]

So yes. Crystal, that's S Club 7. I'm fairly certain that listening to music like that is considered torture in some places.

Does anybody want this bloody cd? If not, I'm throwing it in the trash.

[There is a damp-looking teenager on the screen. One might expect him to be miserable from all that rain and cold, and he was for a while, but there's a look of triumph on his face. The reason for this intrudes into the frame a second later, held up by its inventor.]

Hey. I'm Billy, and I've just arrived. I'm a mechanic wondering how much I'll be able to assist here, so I thought I'd prepare for the local climate as a test project.

[The object of his admiration is an umbrella, pieced together from whatever happened to be in his bag and what parts he could buy or find. The fabric is a patched together blue and gray, obviously taken from different items. It's not going to win any Prettiest Umbrella awards. The folding mechanic works, though it looks a little lopsided due to the lack of perfect tools. He tugs on the runner, folding and unfolding it. It works smoothly enough to pass initial inspection and he places it aside.]

I know materials are in short supply, but I brought my own tools and most of this was mine. I'd be happy to work on things and start trading---electronics, vehicles if we have any, or home supplies. I could even build more umbrellas. Is there a market, or have I just reinvented something I could have bought?

[Not that he particularly cares. The way he's glancing to the side and admiring the ugly but functional umbrella, he probably would have done things himself anyway.]

[The feed turns on to show Minato chilling in his room. nothing special going on here.]

I get that we're here to help save worlds and all that, but I can't help but wonder. I've been here a month now, and other than that monster thing that was going down when I got here, we haven't really done anything significant other than train.

Anyone know when we'll actually be told to go somewhere?

[A part of him's thankful that he hasn't had to do anything dangerous as of yet, but the whole thing is a bit strange to him, to be inactive this long.]

[And that's really all he has to say at the moment. For the most part, anyway.]

[gentle]

It seems someone I became attached to has disappeared from this place already.
It's unfortunate
but that's the nature of this place
right?
It's better that he return home anyway.
But still
losing a friend is a little difficult...

I don't suppose you've ever lost someone important to you?
Even if it's being taken to this place while your important person is left behind
surely it's still a lonely feeling?
Otherwise
I would like to hear about the person who means most to you.
I think it might help me answer a few questions of my own.

[ it opens with the sound of walking, the creak of a door opening followed by hard soled shoes on an old wooden floor. there's a creak of a lid opening, and then the scrape of a chair across the floor. There's a pause without sound and then there is a song. After it's done, Takegami plays a couple simple scales and then sighs. ]

That was an interesting interlude. Do try better next time, mm? I think I lasted a good two minutes laying in that alley. Mind, I am still pissed about my jacket. Do you know hard it is to find a good leather coat in this place? Blood does not come out of leather, never mind the holes. People and their guns. How messy.

[ yeah, he does not care about dying. in fact, he finds it a little funny. ]

What did I miss while I was spending time among the dearly departed?
