01--Video

[Souji's face pops up on the feed. He's looking directly into the camera unflinchingly. His stare can be intense if you're prone to it. He doesn't look unfriendly, just that he doesn't seem to smile as he's talking. It's as though he has a polite interest in you, specifically.]

Hello. [Pause.]

My name is Souji Seta.

I'm new here.

I need to know where Franky G's Wienery is. Thanks.

[ see, this whole staring into the camera thing is part of why she can't stand tiny screens with moving pictures. so weird. ]

From what physical location?

Supposed to be my house.

Heropa?

Yeah.

[At least, he thinks that the name that that soldier told him.]

Which residence.

[ three seconds away from just saying fuck it - and scrolling down. have answers already come? ]

Ah - that won't be necessary. Will is pretty good with directions.

#026.

Will?

Check the name identifiers. He's speaking with you below.

Oh.

Thanks.

Of course.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Seta. Did the people who escorted you to the city give you any directions to start from?

[he can only assume that if Souji is new like him this was something that was probably important at the time of being ported in too. kind of like Jonathan and locating his friends. if there was a general idea he could at least wander around and try to help out.]

[Whoa, polite compared to everyone else.]

Mm no. Not really. It's nice to meet you too...um. [awkward pause here.]

Jonathan Joestar - but you can just call me Jojo, if you like.

If that's the case, then I'm afraid I won't be of very much use to you. I'm also new, you see. [he ducks his head a little sheepishly] And I doubt you need help wandering the city aimlessly.

Nice to meet you Jojo.

Ah. It might help us not to get lost if we did wander together. At least two of us could probably figure out a way around.

I certainly wouldn't object to seeing a little more of the city! Even if it ends up not being the section we're looking for.

It would be good to explore just to find our way around.

It's more fun than just using a map.

[assuming you're not wandering through the most infamous neighborhood in the city...but that's where Jonathan made his best friend, so unfortunately this thought doesn't really cross his mind]

I don't think I have much of a choice in that respect; I wasn't given a map to begin with, haha. But we should find something interesting on the journey.

Welcome aboard.

Is a wienery what I think it is?

Thank you. You are...?

...

It's a hot dog place I believe.

Right. Hot dogs would've been my guess.

I'm Laurie. Laurie Collins. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Laurie.

...I don't think I've ever heard of one before, but that's what I think it is.

Yeah. Um... Do you like hotdogs? Especially, I mean.

I ask because sometimes people's jobs just fit them really well.

did you even look that up before you asked everyone
or try to find a map maybe

Where would I look that up? Or find a map?

youre doing the same thing! do you never think for yourself or something
there are people all over you can ask
or you can go buy a map
they DID give you a speech to start with. did you sleep through that??

[Huh. What a rude person.]

That's what I'm doing now. Asking.

I was too surprised to listen to much.

im saaayiiiiing were not your search engine!
why do you need to know where that place is

Since I couldn't find a map, I figured asking other people might be useful.

It's where they told me I'm going to work.

geez youre not really a guy to work on his own are you
ill go ahead and tell you since i already bothered responding but not everyones going to be so nice all the time
i got my map from one of the little quick shops along the way
theres practically one on every street and they seem to be used to tourists so its perfect

Is this like, a mass prank call?

[He blinks a couple of times.]

No. Why would it?

Uh, Franky G's Wienery? No? Dude.

[A couple of more blinks, and a look of dawning.]

...Oh.

I didn't even think of that.

[For the first time in the video feed, a tiny smile appears.]

Then you're a rare dude.

[ or just a clean-minded one. ]

So you're really looking for a, uh, wienery. Sure it's not actually something to do with wine and they just made a typo?

Hi.

Minato Arisato. Workplace?

[Someone that gets him...!]

Nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Everyone gets normal workplaces...

I think there's a map on your phone. Try it out?

Is mine not normal?

[A long pause.]

I didn't know there was a map on it.

No, pretty normal. I'm an alligator curator.

It's just like a smartphone I think. There's also Internet.

The hot dog place, right? I know where that is.

[HELLO I'M BFF WITH A GOURMET CHEF BUT I LOVE ME SOME CRAP FOOD]

Yeah I suppose so.

Where?

[There's a pause in between replies. Why? Because Will just took the time to write up ridiculously detailed directions, using the Heropa housing at a starting point, and sent them along. Like, there is no reason for them to be this detailed. This guy probably knows all the street names he's ever walked by, it's absurd. Does he appreciate Franky G's condiment-slathered weenies or does he just see the place often? Either is a valid thought. He even included side streets and a note about a "bad time of day" to be stuck on one.

This fucking guy.]

That work?

[Souji takes a while to look at everything. So...detailed. He really wasn't expecting this much help from someone he didn't know at all. Especially in a place this unfamiliar to him.]

This is great. Thank you...?

What's your name?

[He doesn't have anything else to do at work at the moment, why not write it out as best he can.]

You're welcome. Will Graham, I'm familiar with the place. Got chased down by a mascot once. Overly excitable guy. But the food was fine.

[Mascot probably dealing with dehydration and too much heat.]

[Is it a shitty restaurant? Is it a gay club? is it both???
Either way his guess would be either downtown or beachfront, depending on what city its in.]

Can't say I know the place. When do you gotta be there?

[It could be both depending on where Souji is at the time.]

Okay.

I think tomorrow.

[ 'it could be both BECAUSE* Souji is there at the time' fix'd it 4 u. ]

New job, yeah? Probably, then.

If people on here aren't any good, try an internet search. You gonna be... what, serving there?

Oh, yeah! That place is pretty great. It's at [INSERT AN ADDRESS WITH NO INDICATION OF HOW HE'D EVEN GET THERE]

Oh. Ah.

Thanks.

....

How do you get there?

Right. Um, so you--[and these are rambling directions that probably aren't entirely clear]
