Getting off on the wrong foot [Video]

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

[...Well, this was a lovely way to get into a new place, wasn't it?

The feed opens to this gray-haired boy, and behind him is a conveniently placed set of ruins from the Moonlight Bridge for him to subtly gawk at for a few moments before finding his bearings and realizing said feed was on to begin with. Huh. How'd that happen? Was it a part of the welcoming to this new city he's found himself in?

He doesn't seem too fazed by what he was looking at, though. ...On the surface, at least.]

Ah.

...Perhaps I'm asking a rhetorical question, but did I pick a bad time to get here? [Bad time was relative, but this seemed particularly terrible a moment for him to arrive, seeing the damage...]

The city's stuck in the middle of a war right now, so if you're okay, you arrived at a good time.

[He remembers Souji from the tower, but he can already tell that this one is probably not the same one he knows. But he'll be welcoming if for some reason he does recognize him. It's strange, being used to stuff like this.]

I wouldn't exactly call that okay, though, now that I'm here.

[Well, it didn't really matter now. He shrugs.] ...Still...you know about what caused the damage to the bridge? And everything else?

[boxingemperor]

[This place is much better than- ah, yeah. Akihiko scratches his head idly. Nothing's better than home.]

Not really. I haven't been outside much. I haven't been hear for more than a month yet. But I'm told there are demons running around, and some kind of dark organization too.

[...Okay, the demons part isn't too surprising considering what he'd witnessed earlier. But--] Dark organization?

[Well, that's concerning.]
