"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.]

If you can send me back home, yeah.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Sorry, that's one I can't do.

[video]

[encoder]

What can you do?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Well, I've been here awhile, so I know where most stuff is. D'you want food or something to drink?

[video]

[encoder]

I guess that would be nice eventually.

[video]

[bauhinia]

How about a place to stay?

[video]

[encoder]

I already know about the free apartments.

Then I gotta wonder who's paying the electricity bills.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Maybe the guys who brought us here. Though some of them don't have electricity.

[video]

[encoder]

Do they work the power stations too?

Our captors are a little nicer than I was lead to believe.

[video]

[bauhinia]

They might, it's kinda hard to say. Someone must, yeah?

Only a little, promise.

[video]

[encoder]

What's so bad about them, besides dragging us here?

[video]

[bauhinia]

Mostly that part. And the whole "not sending us home even when they can" thing.

[video]

[encoder]

Oh. Then I guess everyone else is just a buncha ungrateful jerks...

[video]

[bauhinia]

Y'think so? [ Interesting. ]

[video]

[encoder]

Yeah. Don't they realize it could be a lot worse?

[video]

[bauhinia]

What, like this place could flood or we could all get sick and go blind and stuff like that?

[video]

[encoder]

Or that we could not have running electricity.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, all that stuff's happened here though.

[video]

[encoder]

Is that their fault?

[video]

[bauhinia]

I'm guessing it's not all their fault, but I dunno for sure.

[video]

[encoder]

Okay.

Well, I guess I'll take your word for it, as I've only been here about ten minutes.

[video]

[bauhinia]

It's just really hard to say. They don't show up often, so who knows what they're really doing.

[video]

[encoder]

Hiding. They'd be torn to shreds if they didn't.

[video]

[bauhinia]

Might be true. Some people here are pretty dangerous.

[video]

[encoder]

I've noticed some like to brag about it.

Think it's the ones that don't that might be even more so.
