[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...

[...Yosuke plz.]

You must have an active imagination. I'm talking about something else entirely; think about something you haven't done that's legal.

Re: [Video]

[inthejunk]

Something uncomfortable but not illegal?

...What kind of underwear do you have on right now? Because I'm not sure-

Wait. Don't answer that. Please.

[Pre-Fortuna, he would've hung up or scolded him. Be lucky, kid. He held himself in. He would've answered with 'you're not my type' but that might scar him for life.]

Maybe we should start with something smaller, like what kinds of things do you normally do.

Re: [Video] you're welcome

[inthejunk]

Right. Uh...what, like at home? It's mostly just school and work I guess.

[Ok, back to Square One.]

Hmm, sounds like me back in high school.

[Maybe trying to list some things might help.]

It may not sound like much but why not try something like music?

...What did you hear? Lloyd is the one who sings in the shower, I swear!

[kungfublackfrog]

[Oh Yosuke. Making this too easy.]

You sing then?

Re: [Video]

[inthejunk]

Not really...

[Cough.]

Ah, I used to have a guitar, though.

[kungfublackfrog]

I'm pretty sure they sell some here. Why not try that?

Re: [Video]

[inthejunk]

Hmm...I guess so. It's probably worth a try.

Who knows, it could be your best weapon when it comes to this place.

Re: [Video]

[inthejunk]

I'm not that bad!

[kungfublackfrog]

Who said you were?

[Yosuke, you make this easy.]

Re: [Video]

[Oh, was it a metaphor? That figures.]

Well I'm not!

[Tadpole, you're too cute. Trolololol]

I'd like to hear it someday.

Re: [Video]

[inthejunk]

[Jerk.]

You would?

[Video]

[kungfublackfrog]

[You enjoy the attention.]

Of course. I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.

Re: [Video]

[Peopke aren't supposed to notice that!]

Uh, sure. Maybe sometime.
