"Use this"? How am I supposed to use this piece of trash...?

[groangroangroan whiiine. the kid looks displeased, as do 90% of the people who first arrive here. he taps the red light with a gloved finger, continues to glare into its camera.]

... Right. So there's obviously peopl—

[he breaks off mid-sentence, eyebrows furrowing. turning, the camera swivels with him to catch sight of a department store and then his apparent cause for alarm*. but mental berating aside for not noticing the thing before it's literally within meters of him, yukio smiles. glances at the camera and tucks it into a coat pocket. enjoy the view of darkness for a while. calmly:]

Invaders must die.

[nope. she continues to move strangely, her crying more audible, it's as if it's she that's yet to notice him.]

What the hell.. I said, 'invaders must die'!

[a thud. the scraping of claws against broken cement, yukio taking a few faltering steps backward.]

INVADERS MUST D—

[WHAM. the recording ends.]

[ Suigetsu is one second away from pointing and laughing.

Well, he has the laughing part down. ] That was really sad!

[encoder]

Shut up.

[liquidate]

Hey, I'm just pointing out your flaws so you can work on 'em later!

[encoder]

My flaw is that this place won't let me use my powers, that's all.

[liquidate]

Well, she was there before you, so... aren't you the invader?

[encoder]

That doesn't really matter. It's just a thing.

[liquidate]

Wow, don't kill yourself with the long explanation.

Ah, whatever, you're not as interesting alive!

[encoder]

Why the hell would I explain everything to a complete stranger? That's dumb.

[liquidate]

Maybe I could have helped you, but now I don't feel like it.

Actually I never felt like it, I'm totally lying, hahaha.

I'm new too, I just thought you were dying.

[encoder]

"New too"?

So there aren't any natives here anymore.

[liquidate]

How do you figure? Maybe we got tossed here together, hm?

Which would suck... you don't seem like much fun at all.

[encoder]

You really want to hear? It's just theorizing based on observations I've made in the whole five minutes I've been here.

I don't really go out of my way to entertain people, no.

[liquidate]

Yeah, sure, any information is good information, right?

This place does look like a shithole though. Wouldn't be suprised!

[encoder]

Pretty much that. It's clearly been abandoned for a while, if the general dilapidation is anything to go on. If there were any left, I'm sure they'd have been killed by either monsters or us by now.

Or someone just wanted some useless humans here to screw around with, I dunno.

[liquidate]

Yeah, now that you mention it I saw some weird things earlier.

They were big and gross looking. Like that bitch that scared you, hehe~

[encoder]

You try fighting them as a normal human, see how it goes.

1/2

[liquidate]

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

2/2

[liquidate]

I think you're underestimating me!

[encoder]

Go on and prove me wrong, then.

[yukio not everyone is as fragile and untrained as you...]

[liquidate]

I'm too lazy to find one of those shitty animals...

Where are you? Nothing like first-hand experience!

[encoder]

You're not gonna get much outta me. I'm kinda incapacitated already, if you hadn't noticed.

There's nothing fun about that.

[liquidate]

You asked! Just lemme know when you do man up.

We'll have a go then, how's that? [ Wink. ]

[encoder]

[ugh gross what was that.]

Do you want me to kill you, or something? Or just make a really challenging course.

[liquidate]

[ Suigetsu will never get less disgusting and innuendo-ridden. Fact. ]

You can try to kill me, you mean. I like a challenge - sounds fun, shrimp!

[encoder]

You mean troublesome. What's in it for me, huh?
