[ takeru is walking down the hallway, this time not staring at his phone as he does so. he's eating chips? those vending machines are great.

but when he spots luca, he'll pause on a second. ]

Luca, right?

[ he is just taking note of everyone he runs into from the profiles it's fine ]

[notaccurate]

That would be me, yes.

[That said, Luca is looking a little grumpy, because several people have already harassed him.]

I must ask that you please refrain from grabbing me, throwing eggs at me, or shoving me out of the way. I've been roughed up enough already in the last couple of days.

[dotcom]

[ ..... ]

What the hell are you all doing?

[notaccurate]

I'm trying to figure out just where we are and our purpose for being here, beyond the vague "get something you asked for". Don't lump me in with everyone else.

[dotcom]

You seem to have gotten caught up in this somehow.

[ it is almost impressive? ]

[notaccurate]

I didn't ask to be attacked by a crazy man in an eyepatch!

[dotcom]

[ ...... goddammit. ]

Red hair?

[notaccurate]

That would be him. A friend of yours, I presume?

[dotcom]

Someone I am forced to be aware that he exists.

[notaccurate]

Well. He did seem apologetic at least. He was under the impression that I worked for someone named Adonis? But when that was cleared up he calmed down.

[dotcom]

What a moron...

[ it's mumbled, and he sighs. ]

He doesn't know how to think before he acts.

[notaccurate]

I get that sense from him, yes. He seems very earnest.

[dotcom]

It's okay to call him stupid.

[notaccurate]

It's better to be polite.

[He absolutely means stupid.]

[dotcom]

What, is he eavesdropping?

[notaccurate]

Probably not. But if you only say positive things about someone, then you are never left wondering who you gossiped to as you try to keep stories straight.

[Luca is a huge fucking gossip and a hypocrite.]

[dotcom]

Truly spoken like someone used to this.

[ sasazuka does the other easy route of just being mean to everyone so he doesn't have to keep any story straight. it's fine. ]

[notaccurate]

I work at an establishment for higher education, I am quite familiar with the behaviors of nosy teenagers and twenty-somethings.

[dotcom]

Oh, that sounds terrible.

[notaccurate]

It's absolutely horrible. Fortunately the pay is good, it helps.

[dotcom]

[ hmmm ]

What do you do at the school?

[notaccurate]

I keep the educational equipment in working order.

[dotcom]

[ hm... he nods. ]

Do you think that could be useful here?

[notaccurate]

If I learn about the equipment here, maybe. So far this all seems far more advanced than anything I have seen before.

[dotcom]

Well... it's better than nothing. We'll have to work with what we have.
