2nd Cup [VIDEO]
[Oh, look! It's those three red lights again. The face attached to them isn't smiling any more, but the actual expression is hard to read--partially because of the mask.]
Someone stop me if this is old news, because I'm still fresh off the boat--but I've been watching this three-ring circus near as I can tell, not one of you knows what's going on here.
It's just the wet dregs being passed off as fresh brew--and a mess of pretty words covering ugly hearsay and uglier agendas.
[He sets his coffee mug down on the desk beside him.]
Now, I'm as opposed to nuclear annihilation as the next man, don't get me wrong. But I find it pretty interesting the government can't keep enough track of all these magic yahoos it keeps porting in that it can lose fifty of them in one go--but wants its civilians to play spy games for them...?
[He's building steam, gaining intensity as he talks--someone's not all that happy.]
They paint a nice picture--they're responsible for us and we're responsible for them, we're all one big happy community--but it sounds to me like they're slipping salt in the coffee and telling us its sugar.
It's enough to make a well man sick.
And I am not a well man.
[He bares his teeth in a grin--one that's just a touch too aggressive to be sincere.
But then he stops, his visor once again hiding the majority of any meaningful expression.]
...oh. But before I go... one last thing.
Word on the street is that death has become a bit of a tease.
If anyone has proof otherwise, speak now.
[Then he jams his finger on the button, cutting the video off.]

video;
But he will focus on one thing.]
Yeah, losing fifty imPorts like they lost their damn umbrella. Really makes a guy feel appreciated, huh?

Unsurprisingly, Godot manages to find a dose of black humour in Kaneda's response.]
Ha...! Right on the nose, I'd say.
Interesting thing about umbrellas--you only miss them when it's raining.
I'd say there's some pretty big stormclouds on the horizon...

[Hold on.]
...
[Is he seriously looking out the window. IS HE SERIOUSLY.]
There's no--...oh. You meant the war.

[Godot watches with a droll expression as the teen takes him literally. He doesn't say a word--just waits, watching, until Kaneda figures it out.
Then he dons a cutting smirk.]
Still with me over there?
no subject
Yeah...never can be too careful in this place, you know?
[Smooth.]
So...where were we. Used umbrellas. Taken Imports...something like that, right?
