[[video]] OFF WITH ONE WATCH ON WITH ANOTHER

[The feed is actually pretty steady, like whoever is directing it is used to this sort of thing. Oddly comforting, for a change!

But the viewpoint isn't at a person, but a sand-crusted car parked haphazardly in front of the Libra apartment building.]

So, uh- [Whoever's on the other end seems really, really, really dry and deadpan about what he's about to say.] -where's the nearest car wash?

You got a CAR upon coming here?! Geez, what'd you do, win the interdimensional kidnapping lottery or something?!

I got kidnapped from a kidnapping. I earned this car. I earned more than this car, really, but I'll take what I can get.

[ghost_shield]

Kidnapped... from a kidnapping. That's, uh.

Okay, yeah, you kinda deserve that car. How'd it get so dirty, anyway?

[allhailfunyarinpa]

I'm actually not sure if it's a kidnapping anymore? We escaped, but it's. It's just really complicated.

[A sigh-yawn combo goes here.]

The Nevada desert happened.

[ghost_shield]

If it makes you feel better, it feels less like a proper kidnapping and more like a relocation with strings attached, or something.

The... desert. I... you know what, this sounds complicated as hell. Is it even something you'd wanna go into?

[allhailfunyarinpa]

...no, that's just like what I got out of. What are the odds! [Sarcasm is thine best friend, Junpei.]

Honestly, I don't think you'd believe me if I di- HAH!

[The reason your ears just popped from that shout? Junpei found a hose, the lucky son of a bitch.]

Okay, hose get, now to-

[Nearly trip over some brooms, from the sound of it. This is sort of pathetic.]

[ghost_shield]

...do you... need some help over there?

[allhailfunyarinpa]

I got this! I didn't solve bullshit puzzles for hours for nothing!

[...if he only knew how many times he died, he'd be less confident.]

I am going to do a normal, mundane thing, like wash a car!

[ghost_shield]

"Bullshit puzzles for hours?" What'd you do, escape from an adventure game or something?

[allhailfunyarinpa]

Yeah, if designed by a scientific pyro who watched too many of those old Saw films and still believes in fairy tales.

[#nonary game]

[ghost_shield]

That sounds... creepy as hell. I guess.

["I'm just going to assume the Saw movies are unpleasant as hell."]
