[There are two people on the feed today! It looks like Hizumi’s using his COMP to broadcast. He’s got his arm around the shoulders of a certain unfortunate soul as he gives a jaunty wave towards the camera, looking, if possible, even more excited than he usually is.]

Yo! Someone new decided to come along with when we left Geartopia, so I figured it would be good to introduce him to everyone!

[That unlucky individual has a slightly put upon expression on his face in spite of seemingly allowing the hand on his shoulder. Really, he hadn’t signed up for something like this when he came along….] Hey, cut it out--

[Cut it out? Hizumi? Never. Instead, he interrupts with:] His name is Ayumu Narumi, and he’s from my world, so treat him nicely, okay? He might look grumpy, but he’s a good person!

[What a pain There’s a quiet, nearly inaudible mutter of ‘idiot’ from Ayumu at the oddball introduction. Compared to Hizumi’s energy, the brunette in the video is almost downright gloomy in the air around him and that long suffering expression only fades after Hizumi finishes speaking. His next words are polite, if lacking in the energy of the other teen beside him.] It’s good to meet you all. Sorry about this guy hijacking the airwaves for something like this.

[Wow rude!] This network can be used by any of the Visitors at any time. It’s not hijacking! Geeze, you’re making me sound like a bad person...

[It was unnecessary, that’s what.] So you decide to introduce me to everyone on it?

[Clearly this Ayumu is the most social of butterflies. Why was he hanging out with Hizumi, some might wonder? A mystery.]

If I didn’t, you’d probably just watch the network instead of introducing yourself, right? I’m trying to help you out here!

[Ahem. But he digresses.]

Seriously, this guy won’t make any friends if he’s left alone, so come bug him as much as you want! If you need help with anything, he probably won’t be able to turn you down!

((OOC: Green is Hizumi, if that weren’t already obvious, and normal text is Ayumu! Both will be threadjacking around!))

[What did you expect, Hizumi?]

I'd be willing to give it a shot.

[Yes it would, but that's neither here nor there.]

If you don't want to believe us, that's your choice. But it's not a lie.

[It's bound to happen, anyway.]

The Persona game? [Raising a brow, a little interested.] I'd be interesting in knowing the results for it.

It'll just be a matter of finding some other players, but... I don't think that will be too difficult.

You said it was a common game here, right? Plenty of people should know it.

[Noda thinks you would with that face. He draws his brows together.]

...This must be some elaborate trick!!

[He looks over at Ayumu through the camera.] And you must be in it too!!!

[Noda...

Truly, your idiocy knows no bounds.]

Are you normally so convinced the world is out to get you?

Of course he is. He's a fantastic one, too.

[Taro gives them a double thumbs-up, grinning.]

Nice to meet you too, Ayumu.

Wait, you actually came to this place willingly?

[When all Yurick (and many others, he's certain) wants is to go home.]

Why?

[To Ayumu.]

You say it like it's a bad thing.

[But not to Taro because at least Taro's nice about it.]

It seemed like a good idea at the time. This guy made a pretty convincing argument.

[Only really, he had his own reason for wanting to be here, too.]

And seeing another world is a pretty tempting offer, right?

Did I?

[Not wholly bad but he would have preferred certain things to have gone differently.]

I think you've been sadly misled... Ayumu, was it?

[Damn all these strange names.]

This place can be a bit of a nightmare at the worst possible times.

Me? With this guy? [He leans over, not so covertly mumbling to Hizumi.

Only no, really, he's not even trying to hide it.] He's a bit bullheaded isn't he?

Edited 2013-10-24 20:13 (UTC)

Hey, hey, hey!

It isn't like I didn't tell him about those things. Just so you know, I explained it all even before he decided to come on his own!

[So there!!]

[And Hizumi "mumbles" back:]

You have no idea. This one time, he was in the meat section and nobody came to help him out fast enough, so what does he do? He breaks the glass open with a halberd.

He's right.

[Really, he wasn't very inclined to explain. Suffice to say, it was too valuable an opportunity to pass up.]

I have my reasons for wanting to be here. Take it as you will.

[Contined "mumbling":]

So he's got a temper too. [There's actually sincere disappointment in his tone at that bit of gossip. Really?] Did he ruin any food?

Edited 2013-10-24 20:35 (UTC)

[Mumble mumble mumble.]

He started out trying to crack it open with his head. Got glass shards all over the meat, too.

[A sigh.]

It was really terrible. Those poor grocery workers... They had to put up with him when they tried to make him pay for the damages, too. It's just one thing after another-!

[He chuckles a little bit.]

Do you need help getting settled?

[Yurick frowns, definitely confused. Unless their world was a horrible place, why would they want to be in a demon-ridden city like this?]

You don't miss your home...?

So like a few of before him, he has arrived here without the aid of Philemon. How long will he last against the demons?

Like I said, I have my reasons for coming along. [Was this kid crazy? Maybe. But at least-]

Hizumi mentioned some game I could play to try for a persona. It's only a chance, but it's better than nothing.

[He was aware he'd have to find a form of self defense. He was just an ordinary high school student, after all.

But this place gave a valuable gift of time. Time and possibilities.]

Edited 2013-10-25 06:09 (UTC)

I'll go back.

[Eventually. When he'd found the answers he needed.]

I don't plan to stay here forever.

I hope none of us have to. If we can work together, perhaps we can make that a reality.

[At least Ayumu had a choice to come to Hinoto-Ri. Yurick still resents being taken against his will, and likely that will never change.]
