RIKU → first dawn || video

[There's a long-haired boy on the video, glancing around as he walks. He's checking out the city streets, but his brightly-coloured eyes keep flicking up to the sky -- it's been a while since he's seen a real one.]

Uh, can someone tell me where this is?

[One hand comes up to rub at a black collar on a scarred throat -- the hand is made of some kind of silvery metal, and the scar on his throat is horizontal, like it was slit.]

Not F3 or something stupid like that?

You think so?

Of course. The independent type goes their own way, with no one to hold them back or intrude with their annoying points of view. Sounds like a real trip to me!

Heh. I don't mind other points of view. Though I guess it depends on whose it is.

Speaking of which, can I ask who this is?

Just an interested party. I don't have any stakes in whatever your deal is. Trust me. ;)

Maybe you don't, but "an interested party" gets me curious. Why so interested?

[componere]

Why not? I don't have anything better to do with my day. Chatting up a stranger seems like a good alternative to losing my mind to boredom, and you happened to be on my feed. [ also, it looks like at least two different versions of himself took a keen interest to this guy, apparently, whether for good or for ill. this joshua would like to know why. ]

Guess I did.

[Though Riku's a little suspicious that this guy won't tell him who he is.]

So you don't have a job or anything? What do you do all day around here? Not just you, I mean, in general.

[ :( joshua just wants riku to go in without prejudices! no preconceptions. just a chat. :) ]

I spend most days finding ways to occupy my time. I do have a job, but it's the kind that requires my services at night more often than not. My days are wide open... as long as I'm not asleep, of course.

[You're making him prejudiced toward anons, Josh.]

Mm. Well, I can see how you'd be unavailable in the day sometimes with a night job. What do you do?

[ rude!!! joshua hasn't even started being mean yet. ]

I'm an entertainer. Anyway, to answer your original question... We're here to fight, apparently. Or nurture, or protect. Really, the higher-ups have been rather vague about the subject.

[Yet?]

Mm. So, it sounds like we can just do whatever we feel like, then. That's refreshing.

Isn't it, though? There are also occasional upsurges in the monster population, but that generally shouldn't be a problem for us.

No, I should hope not. I'm not worried about monsters, anyway.
