[Nothing like a rude awakening at 2:30 in the morning, right? Well, you're in for a treat fellow refugees. It seems like one just flew over the cuckoos nest. Not that you can tell initially. At first this just looks like some inconsiderate kid with rings under his eyes and messy hair, breathing down the camera lens a little too up close and personal.]

Yo. If we haven't met yet, hello. I'm Yosuke. But...but if you're new, you should count to three and then stop listening. Okay? One, two...three. Alright, go away. It's for your own good.

[For emphasis, he clicks the lamp beside him off, and the video goes dark. Nothing to see here, apparently.]

Listen. Guys. I'm curious what people do here for fun. Because uh-look. I've tried sleeping, and training, and then I tried going outside. And talking to the people in the market, and you know. Looking for animals. And I found some, but they were really creepy and mutated. You know? So it's impossible to forget this place is so...

[The light comes back on with a soft click. The phone-roll-up is on the bed table now. Yosuke smiles down at it tightly, and shrugs. Then something thumps in the other room and he jumps at least a foot, gesturing wildly and knocking the device off the table. Someone get the kid some decaf.

He hangs over the side of the bed and gazes at the mobile, his image now fractured like a kaleidoscope, and gives a rather put-upon sigh for a guy who was just trying so hard to be personable.]

Damn it. I'm cracked...

I keep telling you, it was dark! No one can see in the dark!

[Huff!]

And lets see you trying to walk in a skirt and heels. It's not as easy as they make it look.

[wilder]

Uh huh.

Accident prone.

[inthejunk]

[There's definitely some truth to that, so naturally he's offended.]

That's not even a real condition.

[wilder]

Nah, but it's a state of being!

[inthejunk]

[SIGH.]

I just need more practice! Don't be so discouraging.

[wilder]

'Accident prone' is discouraging?

[inthejunk]

When it's a 'state of being' it is.

[wilder]

Nah, not really. It's not like that stuff happened with your powers.

[inthejunk]

Maybe if I practice more...

[wilder]

Not in the clinic.

[inthejunk]

But I wanted to heal someone!

[wilder]

[Oh wow, have some serious irritation in his voice]

No! The patient's aren't here for your entertainment or practice, Yosuke!

[inthejunk]

I know how!

[wilder]

Then talk to Anders in the morning about volunteering.

[inthejunk]

[Whiiiiine.]

What if I just blow something again? I'll keep it away from the air ducts!

[wilder]

Goodnight, Yosuke.

[And he is shutting off the feed because man he's getting a headache]

[inthejunk]

[Not cool, dude.]
