[VIDEO] ☾ first phrase: death-bros and introductions

[ The video feed clicks on to display two boys, one a young child in black-and-white stripes with curly black locks of hair, and the other a teenager with a long yellow scarf wrapped smugly around his neck, suspenders and slicked back black hair. They share an identical small beauty mark under their left eye and they're both seated at a table in... Minato's apartment. (Blame Pharos for the location, okay.) Pharos is speaking, clear and modulated in his tone of voice; ]

—It's on, I think.

[ The transmission of the boardcast jars unpleasantly for a moment before stilling as Ryoji steadies the camera and beams down at it, not as cheerfully as he would have before attempting to end the world, but it's a start. It's probably right about here you notice they have the same blue eyes. A shade of blue so unnaturally bright it's almost creepy. The older teenager then starts talking, still grinning; ]

Anyway, it's working now, right? [ Why wouldn't it be, oh, wait, this is these guys we're talking about. Godly beings or not, it probably took them awhile to puzzle out all the tricks of the comp. Nevermind. Ryoji presses onward; ]

Good! Well, first things first. Hello, Hinoto-Ri, I'm Ryoji Mochizuki... And this is Pharos. [ He gestures at the small boy, who nods and waves cheerfully at the communication device, mouthing; Hello. ] He's my... Hmm, well, I guess you could say we're brothers, the two of us! We've been here for a couple days now and thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves on the network. I mean, that's what everyone normally does, right... ? Either way, it's a pleasure to meet you all!

... [ Pharos decides to offer his own public greetings to the city of Hinoto-Ri. The small ten year old was seated on a chair, his pale face barely level with the video feed and he totally doesn't have a creepy yet innocent smile at all, nope. ] I sincerely hope we'll be able to get along and be friends, everyone. This may be quite a strange world we've all been pulled to as Guests, but it's an interesting one, indeed.

[ There's a pause. Are they going to end the feed here? It sure looks like it— ]

Hey, by the way Minato-kun! [ Hahaha, you thought this transmission would end without Ryoji being a silly derp. He winks at the camera. ] Haha, I forgot to ask back when I first arrived; are there any cute gir—

[ Pharos is already reaching for the comp before Ryoji begins talking, unintentionally cutting off the end of the teenager's question. The feed ends. Sorry, bro. ]

"Seriously, what is it with newcomers and this obsession with girls and cup sizes? Is this a new universal trend I'm not aware of?"

Shura, it would probably have helped to not do a video for this. Or at least, put a shirt on first.

[ Pharos is unfazed by the lack of a shirt. Thankfully. ]

I don't...understand it myself, actually. [ At what point in the future did he... develop an obsession with the female gender?? 8| Girls have nothing to do with their hosts or Death or the Fall. ] What is "cup size"?

[ Is this a good topic to discuss for what appears to be a ten year old. ]

[ Minato first sees this when he's on the train back to Pisces after a morning shift at the cafe and wandering around a bit. Fortunately (?) he doesn't need the complete question to know exactly what Ryoji was asking, though he's not really sure if he should be telling him about the cute girls he's met here...

In any event, it's not too long before he shows up at his own apartment. ]

... I'm back.

[ It seems proper to announce it as he comes in and takes off his shoes, since death and death junior have commandeered his kitchen table. ]

[WHAT. WHAT.

WHAAAAAT.]

>There is now a girl staring at you from her camera. What do?

Your bro's not going to randomly appear in my bathroom, is he?

Cup sizes... ?

[It's true that the legendary three measurements are a much coveted treasure, but...]

I'm not wondering specifics like that.

[Yes, he is except Pharos will go for the living room next time. Or the kitchen. ]

[ Smile! Okay, it's a smile that's... off in some barely noticeable way, but it's still a smile. ]

Hello, Miki-san.

[ ... Sorry, sometimes he forgets he's not supposed to know your name right off the bat. :V ]

Hi, Ekichi-san.

[ A dissonant chuckle escapes him. Glancing over at Ryoji before pointing at the face showing up on the screen and helpfully introducing him; ] This is Eikichi. He sometimes calls himself 'Michel' for some reason, but he's a nice person.

[ He also screams pretty shrilly if you interrupt him getting out of the shower! But Pharos doesn't think to add that bit of information. ]

Edited 2012-11-24 02:45 (UTC)

Welcome back, Minato.

[ Mister death junior has also commandeered the comp for himself and is having fun pushing buttons and all that. He looks up when one of his favorite people comes in and stops to take his shoes off before looking back at his 'brother'.

Ryoji, why are you asking Minato about... cute girls? He does not understand their appeal. ]

Ten is plenty old enough. "Cup sizes are basically the size of a girl's breasts. You personally may not be wondering, but I've met two other newcomers whose greetings consisted of asking me about my breasts size, and it's highly annoying."

[ Pharos appears to be vaguely puzzled by this information because why would be someone be interested in the size of a girl beasts? He keeps turning up blanks on why.

Well, Ryoji has just clarified he was not wondering about that. But; ]

That sounds very rude of them. Why would they be so impolite?

[ Greeting someone generally consists of saying, "Hello", waiting for their response and then engaging in conversation, not asking about cup size. Rude of them to ignore that. ]

"Maybe they need to have politeness beaten into them. Just because you're in a new world is no excuse to start harassing the girls."

[Well, since Pharos said her name... it's time to flirt! Thanks for the help, little bro]

Miki-san? Hello! That's a wonderful name. It suits you.

In the bathroom... ?

[Pharos what did you do. Luckily he can't phase around like that anymore. Just turn into crazy things.]

It's nice to meet you, Eikichi-san. I'm sorry for the trouble before.

[Since it's technically him??]

Minato-kun! Welcome back.

[Heyyyy buddyyyy. Good to see you again! Even though he kinda came over for no reason while you were gone. Shhh.]

Did you hear my question? I want your expert opinion!

I could see why you would be upset about that. I'm sorry that it came across that way! I was just curious.

[The feed stays on for a few more seconds, her gaze and face not changing, not a single word out of her.

...Then without a word, the feed is suddenly shut off.]

[Yet for the longest time, Miki just stares at the empty screen without saying anything. There was no doubt about it; he didn't know her. In a way she was almost relieved, but at the same time, it washed the strangest wave of confusion over her.

Cool, calm and in control...not tonight. Without warning she gets up from her chair, leans her head to the wall...

...before suddenly punching a hole right in it. Those passing outside might have heard the bang that came from her room.

...that hurt a lot. She feels like she wants to cry, but she can't, and reaches down to remove the ring hanging on the necklace from her nec---]

"Apology accepted. Welcome to Hinoti-Ri, you two. I didn't expect to see a pair of brothers brought together... you're very lucky."

[---OH SHIT. He probably saw that necklace with his ring and now she has a hole on her wall that she can't hide with furniture and DAMMIT TO HADES SHE HATES THIS SITUATION SO MUCH RIGHT NOW.]

[ Pharos hopes the other two unspecified newcomers aren't so rude to her in the future. He smiles. ]

Ah, we arrived separately but it was a twist of fortune that allowed us to meet in this city... In that way, we are lucky, I suppose. Thank you.

[ Minato isn't even gonna ask why they are here. It doesn't even matter so long as they don't destroy any of his precious social link items. But once he's also shed his coat (because it's starting to get cold around here!) he wanders over to peer at the Comp Pharos is playing with. ]

I did... There are lots of cute girls in the city. You'll probably have to work harder to get them to go out with you here than at Gekkoukan, though.

[ Also Minako is off limits, okay. ]

Edited 2012-11-24 03:53 (UTC)

[Well, Saori had had a long day, after coming back from a trip home, her boss had called and said she needed to work today. So she wouldn't even be able to call and meet up with Minako or any of her other friends. And when she gets back home, she's too tired to even consider it.

So when she goes on the network, in an attempt to relax, and sees this as the first post. Well, all she can do is give a weary laugh. (They'll also see she has a mole under her eye too.)]

Ehehe. Hi. You know Minato-kun?

[Listen, when you sneak up on a dude like that something's bound to happen OKAY?! Okay.]

Yeah...but hey, it's no problem uh...other you.

[Hades, he doesn't quite get the explanation, but alright if you say they are technically the same, he's going to assume the older is from the far-off future. Wait how does Death age exactly?]

So Ryoji...I believe I heard the start of a question involving the babes that have also arrived along with all of us?
