Good guys my ass.

[The face that comes into view glares into his screen, not bothering to hide his contempt. How it's possible to judge the network so early is a mystery, but somehow he's managed to.]

Good guys don't waste my time with shitty assignments and craptoos. What the fuck is an anger management facility?! It's better off bein' recycled into fireworks-

[His free hand, cupping his chin, twitches, tense and restless. Blowing up his newly assigned workplace would certainly help soothe his anger, but it's probably illegal. Shame. As disgruntled as the teen appears, Katsuki didn't come on the network to complain. He scoffs, takes a breath, and:]

OKAY, LISTEN UP!!!

I'm looking for anyone from UA- hell, anyone from our rival schools. People with quirks. Whatever. If you don't know what I mean, answer this:

How do I make some real money in this shithole? Enough money to start my own agency.

Don't waste my time telling me you don't got any answers, or I'll kill ya.

[He slams his hand down on the table. And if he accidentally singes the table, well. It was an ugly table to begin with.]

What the hell?

[He just stares at Detective Loki, not sure if he should be confused or annoyed. Finally, he settles on the latter.]

OF FUCKING COURSE I'M ANGRY?! I GOT KIDNAPPED! MY CLASSMATES AND TEACHER GOT KIDNAPPED?! AND YOU JUST WANT ME TO SIT BACK QUIETLY AND COOPERATE WHILE YOU PLAY ARMCHAIR PSYCHOLOGIST?!

FUCK YOU!!!

[detectivedwloki]

Is that all it is? Being brought here? I know it's difficult. But you really need to calm down.

[He's twitchy, blinking in an oddly pronounced way a few times, but otherwise his tone is calm and patient.]

[hot_handed]

I AM CALM, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S NOT CALM!!!

[detectivedwloki]

[Another twitch, a pause. Then he continues.]

You do not sound calm.

I know this is a frustrating situation. You may be returned to your home at any time but in the meantime we need to accept this current world and try to live with it as best we can. It doesn't do anybody any good to cause trouble.

[hot_handed]

THEN FUCKING ARREST ME FOR IT, TWITCHY COP, SEE IF I CARE!!!

I don't accept nothing. I ain't waiting around for them to decide.

[detectivedwloki]

None of this is that simple.

[hot_handed]

I don't fucking care! I'm finding a way out. So stay outta my way.

[detectivedwloki]

I can't do that.

I'm sorry to tell you but there isn't a way out.

[hot_handed]

Shut up. Stop talking. Stop wasting your breath.

There's always a way out, and if you've given up that's your problem.

[detectivedwloki]

I hate to say it but you remind me a lot of myself as a teenager.

[hot_handed]

Shit I hope not.

Icon referring to that youth

[detectivedwloki]

Yeah, I had that attitude when I was your age...

[hot_handed]

Shut up! Just talkin' to you is killing my brain cells...

[detectivedwloki]

Does that bother you that much?

[hot_handed]

No, I love bein' told I'm exactly like someone who's only known me for a minute and who's too scared to even try to escape.

[detectivedwloki]

It's not about fear.

[hot_handed]

Your reasons don't matter. The end result is the same.

[detectivedwloki]

I'm sure you'll find out by yourself in time how this world works but it could save you some time if you just listen.

[hot_handed]

If you're going to tell me this world's porters are run by the government, specifically the American government, and they won't let me in without special clearance then I'm going to punch you in the face.

[detectivedwloki]

You can move pretty freely between the porters for travel to other cities but others have gotten into trouble trying to break in or investigate them further. I don't think even the government knows exactly what's going on.

[hot_handed]

Hang on hang the fuck on.

You're sayin' they're clueless?

[detectivedwloki]

I believe there's more than their involvement in the strange goings on and how and why we're here.

[hot_handed]

Oh yeah? And what to you think's involved?
