(one) video

[rewarded]

[Greetings, Exsilium. Hope you're not tired of all these new transports, because there is going to be one (1) more popping up on the network during this lovely evening. She had avoided being overly social after her initial briefing, but now she had a stomach to fill and some time to kill, so here she was. If she looks a little bit too made up for this to be a casual, spur of the moment video, that's because it's not.

It's actually a con.]

Y'know, when I got dragged here, the last thing I expected was to be nearly bored to death. [Laughing a little, mostly because haha--death. That's hilarious.] I guess I was wrong, though. Let's change that.

[And shuffling a little, if only to show a couple of coins on the feed, she explains herself.]

Tell me a story. It can be scary, funny, sad-- whatever it is you can think of. If you make me cry, I'll buy you anything you want. If you don't... you'll buy me food tonight. Sounds good? [Probably not.

But, she looks frail and young enough for this to be easy. It should be easy, right? Right. That said, she flashes a smile at her tablet and ends the recording right there.]

[DON'T BLAME YOUR LAME JOKES ON SOMEONE ELSE, YO. Though, she's totally getting all huffy about that hour, even if he moved it.]

That's kind of late for breakfast, but it'll have to do. Make sure it gets to me warm, okay?

[anotheryosuke]

[BUT IT IS TOTALLY SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT, did you really think he'd otherwise tell a joke with such a wordy punchline, gosh.

Even if it is a sex joke, there are limits...!]

Hmm, so you mean cereal's no good? [Mostly joking!] You gotta tell me what you like eating, stranger lady.

[rewarded]

Meat. I want as much meat as you can get away with packing on a single plate. If it's fried or greasy, it's perfect.

[And after a beat, she adds to this horrifying explanation:]

Any other type of junk food you can find works, too. I still don't know what kind of shit you can find in this place.

[This goes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's not like her digestive system is even remotely human, man...]

1/2

[anotheryosuke]

... [There's a mildly stunned silence. He didn't expect that, come on, but--]

2/2

[anotheryosuke]

Well, I can't really say I'm against that! You sure you want the meat here, though? Who knows what they put in it?

[No, seriously, with all this zombie action and the dirty rain and the dead landscape he's still not sure this ain't the actual zombie apocalypse.]

Junk food, though, junk food I can do! I got a nose for that stuff.

[OOC: I get the feeling she's going to end up with moonfood. :p]

[rewarded]

That's fine. As long as it tastes like meat, I'll take it. [She could probably digest styrofoam if she ever had to. Mystery meat is nothing.]

You got a name? Calling you "delivery guy" will probably get annoying.

[anotheryosuke]

Well, it's your funeral.

[If she can pack away as much weird steak as she seems to insist she can and still stay that cute, she must be doing something right.

Half the girls in his class would probably kick his ass if he said that to them...]

It's Teshigawara Naoya! Just call me Naoya, though, who'm I playing delivery guy for?

[rewarded]

If only. [SHE AIN'T KIDDING, but he doesn't have to know that.]

Naoya, then. You can call me whatever you want. I haven't heard a good name other than Mother in years.

[Congratulations, Shinji Naoya! You're delivering food to a lovely adoptive mother of two who doesn't even remember her name.]

[anotheryosuke]

... I think Mother would be a little weird.

[Understatement of the year or understatement of the year?? She doesn't look nearly old enough for kids, but where are they again? Oh, yeah, Crazyville.

It's still weird.]

Haha, you really know how to put a guy on the spot, though. You look like a Nanami, maybe?

[OOC: Definitely moonfood. Maybe eventually they can mission for non-moonfood. o3o]

[rewarded]

Na-na-mi? [Testing out how it sounds, naturally. SHE'S BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD AND EASTERN NAMES ARE STILL WEIRD TO HER.]

I don't really know much about Asian names. Should I trust that's not an insult?

[anotheryosuke]

Ah, right, I guess if you wanted to be more Western about it you could shorten it to Nana. But I think Nanami's a pretty good girl's name!

[rewarded]

Ew, I think I'll stick with Nanami. Nana makes me sound like someone's grandmother.

[She is someone's grandmother.

And great-grandmother.]

[anotheryosuke]

Ehhh, really? That's a weird thing to call your grandma.

[Your family is way too big, sort-of-Nanami.]

[rewarded]

Not really. It's pretty common where I come from.

[It's not her fault humans can't keep their dongs in their pants, jeez.]

[anotheryosuke]

The Western world is so mysterious...

[Humans gotta human! They are so very short-lived and squishy, after all.]

[rewarded]

Nah, you just need to go out more.

[THEY HAVE SEVERAL LIVES AHEAD OF THEM procreation can wait a lifetime or two, okay.]

[anotheryosuke]

I would, but I don't think that'd help anymore! Since it's all apocalyptic and stuff now.

[MOST OF THEM DON'T KNOW THAT THOUGH...]

[rewarded]

Then go when it's not shitty as fuck everywhere.

[SAYING THIS LIKE IT'S THE OBVIOUS SOLUTION.]

[anotheryosuke]

... Oh, right! We have time travel now!

[Somehow, you don't think of newly acquired Time Traveling Powers when you think of seeing the world for the hell of it. Not yet, anyway.]

Got any recommendations for when?

[rewarded]

2007. It's a cute year.

[Nope. No personal bias there anywhere. None.]

[anotheryosuke]

Eh, what does that mean? Is that your, uh, home year?

[He chuckles to himself a little, because 'home year' is such a weird phrase, man. And he gets to use it for real, even weirder.]

[rewarded]

Something like that. [It's the worst year ever.] Ever lived through it?

[anotheryosuke]

Ah, no, my experience of the world stops in 1998! So I guess I've got a lot of times to travel to. Come to think of it, how was 1999 for you?

[rewarded]

How should I know? I don't think I was even 10 by then.

[She was 9, actually, but hell if she remembers that.]

[anotheryosuke]

Wouldn't it have been a pretty memorable year anyway? The world was supposed to end by then! I remember a bunch of stuff from when I was 10, and nothin' much happened that year except for 5th grade.
