[ 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-” ]

That's what we'll be looking for. If you come with us and stay around where the memorial is, it shouldn't be too hard to feed you the necessary information when we uncover it.

[she could come with, sure, but riptide hates the idea of cass being near any danger at all.]

I can't imagine we'll find nothing, at any rate.

I can probably do more if I don't just stay in one place.

[ That's right, Riptide, she sees your reluctance. Kind of an odd detail to bring up, she thinks. ]

Unless you're worried about something else on the island? The Death Ray, I assume?

There could be anything. Hell, we could be going into one big trap.

[paranoid, sure, but also... he did literally fight in a 4 million year long war? you don't come out of that expecting good things.]

I'm not thinking about it on the same level as what most people expected for Mars, but I'm certainly not expecting anything good. Especially if everything goes the worst way it can and we get caught.

Then we'll want back-up. We do have you, and I'm told Jacob's approved, so it's that for people with actual combat experience...

[ Suddenly she looks a bit more focused. She nearly smiles. ]

I could also divine for traps. Just saying.

It probably won't come to that, [is all he says. it's too easy to fall down that sinkhole.] How does that work, if you don't know they're there?

In that case, I know where I'm looking, so I can scour the area for anything along those lines.

[ No guarantee, though. She leans back in her chair and taps her chin. ]

I would have to be looking for specific kinds of traps. But if we can cover any of the obvious possibilities- alarm systems, guards, any sort of comically cartoony laser traps- I can make sure it doesn't have those. [ She frowns. ] So we probably won't be sure, but we can get close.

It's better than nothing.

[he'd much rather have a general idea than none at all.]

Have you done anything like this before? I'm not doubting your ability, just interested.

Not exactly. But I managed to get some information out of OTO during the time loop, when we went looking in Chile. Age of the materials, that sort of thing. Might be close enough.

[ She looks back at him. She's not used to Riptide being this serious. ] What about you? Obviously you can get there, but are you worried about anything once we're on the island? Besides how I handle things.

That's good. If all goes well hopefully we'll be able to come back with a bunch of new info and work from there. Maybe even work some stuff out while we're still there.

[he hums.]

Other than the general anxiety of all this? No, not really. This isn't my first rodeo. Or second. Or third, even.

I get it. I'm guessing its your two millionth or so?

[ She can't help but sound a bit sarcastic, but that's how she copes with having a friend who's apparently millions of years old. ]

This is a pretty weird thing to have planned out while you were in the Halloween Hell House, by the way.

Dunno. Didn't keep count.

[it's hard to tell if he's being serious.]

What, like you've never done something dumb while sitting on something until it's the right time?

Hey, you're implying I consciously try to do dumb things. That's what I actively attempt to avoid, actually.

[ That said, she's clearly teasing him a bit. ]

[riptide just snorts.]

And yet!

[ wh- ]

Hey! What's that supposed to mean?

[ Extremely rude!! She seems more amused than anything though, thank god. ]
