*Odd, you get the notion that Misery didn't exactly sleep well last night. Her eyes seem a little redder than normal, and her hair's tossled.*

Well I'm glad to see YOU all are relaxing so well after that battle. Has it ever occurred to anybody else that if THIS is what happens when the astrological signs turn to Scorpio, then what will happen when we shift over to Sagittarius? Or Taurus? Or, heaven forfend, ARIES? I rather think this is cause for concern, don't you?

Well I for one am not waiting to find out. There's bound to be a way to block these effects, and I for one intend to find it. If anybody finds anything out, tell me. I might even consider giving you a discount on my services.

For a while, anyway.

*Strange, why is this getting her goat so bad?*

My dear boy, I think your concept of "morning" is GROSSLY off the mark.

[otakuro]

...Mngh. I'm exhausted from that fight, either way.

[With one final yawn, Atsuro rolls off the bed and stumbles towards his computer.]

Alright, alright. What do you think we should do, then?

[misery_hates_company]

For a start, we should figure out HOW these people are affected. Some sort of outside force? Shall we be distributing tinfoil hats or whatever nonsense cure some people say stops brainwashing? It'd be best if we looked into some of our former attackers.

[otakuro]

If it's mind-controlling radio waves, we'd be better off locking them in a lead bunker somewhere.

...Actually, you know, if it comes down to it, we could probably go with that. Lock all the Sagittariuses up next month.

I know someone from my world - ...a parallel world to mine was a Scorpio. I'm not sure who else was involved, though. Oh -- probably the creep with the bad make-up job.

[misery_hates_company]

It would have to be a phenomenally large bunker. Anyway, that's not sufficient. It'd be best if we avoid even dealing with the issue at ALL.

Well then! Perhaps you can talk to him, get some information. Surely all of that nonsense must've been good for some small little thing, at least. Can't say I'm familiar with the clown man, though.

[otakuro]

[Atsuro assumes an unfairly mincing tone of voice.]

'This is going to be fun.'

[His face distorts in what is supposed to be an expression of wicked glee but merely resembles someone who doesn't know how to smile well for photos instead.]

...Anyway.

Maybe it'd be better if you tackled Naoya. ...He might respect you enough to be straightforward.

[misery_hates_company]

Oh my, do you think so? I'll simply have to put on my Sunday best to make sure, then! Oh ho ho ho!

[otakuro]

Try a pointed hat. It will make you look more like a high-class respectable witch.

...

No, seriously, though, the guy's like an iron vault if he doesn't feel like talking. An iron vault that smirks a lot.

[misery_hates_company]

I don't really do hats, so sorry. Hats are more of a "hero" thing, I think.

He sounds like a wretched pain. Well, perhaps my charm will win him over.

[otakuro]

[...]

How much paperwork do you think I'd have to fill out if you turned Naoya into a frog or something?

[misery_hates_company]

If it makes you feel better, I can turn people into VERY big frogs.

[otakuro]

Oh, well, I don't want that to happen, of course, but I mean. It would be reversible, of course. Apart from any damage to his ego.

[misery_hates_company]

Hm hm hm, I'm sensing some mixed emotions about this possibility. Perhaps I could make him slightly froggish, just for a bit?

[otakuro]

Hmm...

Nah, you know what? Better not. I wouldn't want to mess up the continuity of our world or anything.
