[Video: start. Unimpressed teenager with slicked-back hair and a cranky expression: appear.]

Okay, so either the Professor is pulling a huge fuck you on me for leaving, everyone in this town is sharing some kind of mass delusion, or I actually got kidnapped to a Japanese city in another world to fight monsters.

Someone remind me why I'm believing the third one?

[He rubs at his eyes, then looks a bit more cheerful as he keeps speaking.]

Free room and board just for beating shit up, though. The place I came from could learn from this Philemon guy. All I wanna know is if there's any other mutants around - that's Homo Superior, the evolution beyond humans, not whatever you might call mutants in some other world. As good as this all sounds, I'm not sticking around if demons are my only alternative to humans.

[And he's done.]

((ooc: rather pertinent rewrite after he got the details about the place and actually kind of liked them. facepalm.))

He doesn't look like he's in shock.

[trainwrecking]

That's enough!

[Let him be upset, it's only because he cares.]

What do you think you're getting into?! I wasn't exactly agreeable when I showed up to the afterlife, remember?!

At least you weren't a murderous idiot.

That's not the point, Yuri! I don't agree with it either, but--

[He leans in, raising his voice.]

You're going to get hurt!

[ She doesn't want to admit that he's right, but, well... he is. ]

Okay, fine. But only because I have no idea what sort of power this idiot has.

[Otonashi exhales sharply, releasing the breath he hadn't realized he was holding. Though he'll need more time to calm down, her surrender helps.]

We can't... provoke people and get out unscathed anymore, just--

[His voice shakes.]

Let him talk big if he wants. If he's dangerous to us, we can fight back. O-okay..?

video;

[leadthebeats]

... Hmph. It's not like as if he knows where we live, anyway. But fine. Only just this time, though.

[ If he attempts anything against them she will go and fight for it. ]

Hinoto-Ri is a closed city. It's only a matter of time before you bump into someone.

[Spoken from experience, of course. Experience and basic probability.]

And I don't want to make an enemy if we don't have to.

It's not hard to avoid people, you know.

video;

[trainwrecking]

I don't want to have to avoid someone, and you shouldn't either.

[Besides, Murphy's Law would most certainly come into play!]

[leadthebeats]

So are you saying that if he comes after me and I scream onto my COMP, you'll come and save me, Otonashi-kun?

[ She's being rude about this, after all... ]

video;

[trainwrecking]

Wh-!? I said don't make him come after you!

[That's mean, he's not even calm yet.]

video;

[leadthebeats]

I think it might be a little too late for that.

video;

[trainwrecking]

Don't sound so casual about this..!

[So much frustration.]

If something happens, then... yeah, tell me!

video;

[leadthebeats]

I can't sound like I'm freaking out. You should know better.

[ She's the leader, after all. ]

video;

[trainwrecking]

This is important, it's worth freaking out over!

[They are literally playing with fire today.]

Just let me handle this one, okay..!?

video;

[leadthebeats]

[ She's silent for a moment or two before she finally speaks up, sighing. ]

Fine, fine. But if you screw up you'll get what's coming to you.

video;

[trainwrecking]

[There's absolutely no hesitation on his end.]

I won't.

video;

[leadthebeats]

I'll be watching, then.
