[ Video starts and there is one (1) Kaneki and one (1) Riptide looking back at you. Kaneki gently nods his head as a polite greeting and riptide raises a hand in a light wave.]

Hello everyone, we are making an official announcement that we are currently working to visit Death Island and build a memorial on site for the imPorts who have permanently died there. For those who aren’t familiar with the story, in 2008 a group of teenage imPorts went to the island in order to stop a man who built a Death Ray. I understand the naming is… [ IT’S SOMETHING. ] but the Ray killed seven imPorts permanently. It has been ten years since then, and I think it’s important to remember those who were lost.

--Right, yeah, [riptide leans a little closer to the camera. it’s time to pay attention to him now!!] it’s got a weird name and the history sucks. So, anyway, we already have quite a bit of backing from ambassador Baal, Baelish and senator Hundred. Er-- [he looks down. at his hand, where he’s written this information like a normal person.] --The Airforce, some other native institutions. They sure love their advertising. I’m sure you see where this is going.

The only people left to ask are…
[he points dramatically at the camera.] you. Is you? Grammar. You. Give us money for this. Also, yourselves. Please.

[ oh god, no - Kaneki moves in, shoving Riptide away as he tries to salvage this ] He-- isn’t wrong. We need funding to build the memorial, but we also need signatures to show imPorts support this idea. We are also gathering them from natives, who have been very receptive to this idea. [slightly off camera, riptide can be heard mumbling that’s what i said!. Kaneki will ignore him because what else can you do? ]

We want to ask you for your support on this, any kind you can give us. [ he bows gently to the camera ] Thank you so much.

Yeah, thanks-- and if you’re gonna bitch about how this ain’t our problem, I don’t wanna hear it! Put that attitude back in the toilet you fished it out of, idiot! [ and before the feed is cut off you can still hear Kaneki going “Riptide, No-” ]

....Huh.

I thought you were younger.

Wait, does that mean you were around for that huge war you mentioned?

Three and a half million is young for Cybertronians?

Geez, I'm sorry you had to endure that...

I don't know how to explain it to an organic. It's not really about the numbers.

[you know, unless you die of old age. he puffs his cheeks up and blows a raspberry; it covers up that he doesn't actually know how to respond to that.]

Don't be. That's just how it was, can't do anything about it.

Why not? Are you able to just...run indefinitely if you maintain yourself well enough?

I know it's kind of a weird thing to be sorry for but...I guess I just feel bad you had to endure that.

Not that I pity you or anything, just that it's a shame that you couldn't have seen the happier times. Before the war.

I'm assuming there were happier times. At least I hope so.

Oh, I did once. When we time traveled. It was alright, I suppose, it looked nice, but four million year long wars don't start because society is perfectly functional. No-one who was alive before the war remembers it incredibly fondly.

...Huh. I guess that makes sense. I mean, wars don't just...erupt. And if they do it's because there's just so much pent up resentment that it just overflows.

But you're talking like the war is over now, right? What do you do?

A couple months ago.

[he frowns.]

That's complicated. I don't want to go into that. [not gonna just admit he's a muntineer!]

Wow, that recently?

Oh...alright. I understand. [He doesn't but hey, he's learning about Riptide! And they're talking! That's a good thing and he's happy with that.]
