compnetwork | [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. ]

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. ]

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??]

[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?

[ lol he wasn't sneaking, he was right in front of you actually! ]

Heheh.

[ Death doesn't age, silly. It just gets stronger; his is a very fluid existence. People have always seen death in many different ways and so on. It also involves recovering from getting ripped into thirteen damn pieces by a machine with a soul and performing a union with said pieces to become whole once more.

Hades, thank you for being the rock star's resident source of elaboration. It's helpful. Keeps these sort of things simple.

Pharos looks over at Ryoji, one eyebrow raised at Eikichi's question. Well, 'big bro'? ]

[Oh! A brother in arms. Yes.]

I was! I spotted a few when I got here, but I was wondering how many others there are.

Hmm...hmmm, there's plenty!

But before you can melt their hearts, you'll have Michel to contend yourself with, and as they say...may the best man win, baby!

>You have a feeling from the way he's saying that, Eikichi is pretty confident about himself.

[ Chinhands, watching Ryoji and Eikichi chat about girls silently and in complete ignorance of why they would find girls so alluring. Haha, Hades' chosen is so full of himself. It's pretty entertaining, but the self-confidence is cool.

>Your train of thought can be largely interpreted as, hey guess who I'm gonna bug later when I'm not stalking Minato and Minako. :3 ]

Are there? I'm glad to hear it! I see, though. A brother in arms. I'll have to do my best to go up against you!

[Yes, good. Stalk Eikichi and sabotage him, little bro.]

[UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.]

Hmm hmmm. So the Lord of the Death against the personification of Death itself! The prize? All the beautiful women in the city!

Hoooo! This will be interesting indeed!

[ I CALL IT THE BENEFITS OF HAVING AN ANNOYING YOUNGER BROTHER, DUDE ]

[ What is appealing

about beautiful women.

He doesn't understand!! ~~He's too young to get it.~~ ]

[Oh Pharos.

Though, he can't help but laugh a little at that.]/small>

It is kind of funny, when you think of it that way.
