[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. ]

[1/3]
This is Ryoji?
This is the other guy Minako had dated? ...Among other clearly less important things, such as being death reincarnated, combined with all the world-ending fun that had come with that, nipping at the metaphorical coattails of the kid's hellishly long scarf. Well, he'll be damned. Shinjiro had always idly wondered if Ryoji would show up here. Seemed bound to happen eventually, considering how saturated this place seemed to be with people from their world—or versions of them, anyway.]
[2/3]
or fiftyof Ryoji in Miki's gigantic tome of a photo album, but it's one thing to see a static photo of someone, and another thing to see and hear them in person... though Shinjiro's beginning to see why he and Junpei had gotten along so famously.][3/3] - [Video]
Does that mean this Ryoji's from Minato's timeline then?
...
He flips on the video feed, face as impassive as it usually is, though his gaze lingers for a moment or two on the video screen—brothers, huh?—before speaking.]
So you're the Mochizuki kid?
[Video]
He just meets his gaze steadily, smiling the tiniest bit before returning his attention to Ryoji's answer. ]
[Video]
I am, hello! I guess you've heard of me?
[Video]
Brothers, huh?
[before Ryoji slides into view. His gaze shifts to him, glance evaluating.]
Yeah. I'm from Iwatodai. Used to live at the dorms with [Who had Minako said he had gotten close to?] ...Iori for a little while before you came around.
[That should tell him enough.]
[Video]
In a sense.
[ And then Ryoji comes into view of the feed, bright yellow black-trimmed scarf and all, and says his bit and Shinjiro responses with his dark eyes evaluating, and Pharos listens to their exchange without commentary, interested in any details from the older personification of Death's existence after gaining a human body of his own. ]
[Video]
[He's never seen anyone like him, though. That's really strange, considering how often he was there. Though, there was that room he was told not to enter. So maybe...]
I see. Well, it's nice to meet you! I'm afraid I don't know your name.
