Is this really it?
[The half-incredulous tone of a guy who is obviously gearing up for an impassioned speech of some sort, but still valiantly fighting the urge.]
A handful of paperwork, [and here he holds up his own file folder,] a mark on the wrist, and an assignment to placate us?
[Someone's vlogging, because as he walks past a nearby burn barrel he tosses his file into it and doesn't even watch the sparks fly up as he continues on his way. Something about symbolically burning the whole damn thing down to the ground comforts Markus enough that he moves on from suggesting outright revolt. For now.]
I'm not moving into a stranger's home, so no one living in De Chima #004 has to worry about a new roommate. And if anyone would like to be a dating app developer, the position is currently up for grabs.
Anyone of a like mind, I'd appreciate your perspective.

No, it's fine...I wouldn't want to take something you'd need. It's all right. [Markus will just turn the card back and forth before pocketing it for now. He'll find somewhere safer to store it later.] I don't have anything that impressive to share with you, unfortunately.
no subject
Oh no! Sorry I meant I can't make you a Persona user...if I knew how, I think it might help others to be honest...they helped me and my friends through great hardship. But honestly it's not brute power that's important, but the strength of the heart.
[Maybe just hamming it up a little bit. Yu is slightly trollish that way. Also to be fair he has no idea Markus is not a human. Why would he?]
The Persona can wait, if you'd rather visit the city. I use it for fighting normally. Do you know how to fight, Markus-san? I have to admit, there are a lot of very strange things that happen each month...
no subject
Why don't we take a look around the city and talk? [Doesn't really wanna answer the 'can you fight' question to a teenager when the answer is very, very complicated.]
no subject
[And surprisingly, Yu doesn't bring it up or poke him farther. There's a big of understanding in the way he speaks.]
De Chima is pretty humid during the summer, so I hope you don't mind the heat too much. [He offers his own bottle to him.] During the day it's pretty quiet, since everyone is working, but at night there's a lot more people around. I don't know if you're a fan of high-end fashion or technology but that's what they are known for along with their medical research.

[Which brings them to the last city.]
Maurtia Falls is in Pennsylvania. It's smaller like Heropa, but its illegal activities is what most people know it for, especially the usual vices that nightlight is known for. [Yu figures Markus would understand what he means by that.] It's a beautiful place, and the food is really good. Oh! Speaking of which...I know a few places around here that serve food, if you're interested.
no subject
If you're hungry I'm more than happy to go, but I don't need to eat or drink anything.
no subject
[Hmmm...]
Are you an android? Sorry, I didn't even notice if you were. My two friends back home were both female and didn't look as human-like as you do. [That would explain the refusal for the water bottle a little more clearly. But Markus, where are your gatling gun fingers and your tiny little feet.]
I am a bit hungry, but honestly if you're not going to eat that would make it boring for you. Maybe if there was a cat cafe around here I'd take you...there's one but in another city. I can buy a snack instead. We could go walking around the city and look at the shops instead. Or there's an arcade close by if you want to play some games.

no subject
[Actually now that he thinks about it, he should have suggested that earlier and taps his lip briefly.]
I can get a snack and there's various board games to play. Have you ever been to one of those before? What did you do when others ate? Do you need to recharge in some way?

[Yu. Is. Competitive. Even as they arrive towards their location, a place that seems like it doesn't quite fit with everything else's fashion and they descend some stares to a basement, he seems pretty determined to see this through.]
Maybe I can try to hold on for the longest time. How long as a human lasted against you?
no subject

[Yes Markus this was Yu's secret plan all along. Welcome to Level -1 the biggest dungeon rolepla--okay no it's called Minus Sub World and it's just a gamer's cafe with a few other patrons, booze on the counter named after potions from various video games, bubble tea, some simple foods also thematically selected.
Yu will arrive very shortly at their table with this and a bubble tea, before looking over to the gigantic wall of board games.]
Checkers or chess? ...have you ever played Go?
no subject
shot] Where's- ah. [Since Yu's got his hands full of refreshments Markus will go retrieve the board and stones from their place against the wall, balancing everything in one hand as he pulls out the chair opposite Yu and begins to lay everything out, only to stop before assigning the stones.] ...preference?
no subject
[Go might be more complex but in a way it's probably just making the time he lasts against Markus a little longer. Yu has great understanding and knowledge but he doesn't have a super-brain either. He waits until Markus is done before thanking him and placing his first stone in the upper left corner, then sipping on his drink.]
Do you like it here so far, Markus-san?
no subject
I keep forgetting that my notifications are messed up (they are on and I still get nothing)
There were many of these in Tokyo when I last visited. Considering everyone's busy life, it's good to relax once in a while. [Don't mind him asking a bunch of questions, however.]
Are there other androids like you back home? I hope you don't mind that I'm asking so many questions...like I said before, you're very different from other androids I've met.
np yo o/
Glances up.] Rounded, of course.
no subject
Oh wow...that's a lot more than I expected. [Rounded, of course. That's completely different from how Aigis would say it, giving him the exact precise number. Swiftly, he places another stone, trying to throw him off form his goal. Maybe he can figure out what Markus' plan is and adjust accordingly.] Maybe our future will be like that too...but I feel like I'll be an old man by then. I'm not sure the Kirijo corporation would want to share the method of making androids as well.
