★ 004 | Video | Night 10PM
[The broadcast begins from a well-known selfie position, held aloft in one hand by one Josuke Higashikata, a marvelously pompadour'd Heropa youth...with the sky-scraping buildings of Nonah at his back.]
Lighting's pretty shitty out here, huh?
[He flashes the camera a cheeky smile before waggling a flashlight beneath his chin, casting a bright glow over the angles of his face and blacking out the cityscape behind him.]
Anyway, it's the last few days of spring break! But work's been kinda slow, so I haven't been able to afford doing all the things I wanna! Which means I've been stuck looking for a second job.
[Mostly to support his upcoming and lofty summer plans, but he's definitely had to bail on an all-nighter at the local laser tag center, and that wasn't cool.]
Which brings me 'round to a question I wanted to ask! I gotta wonder, there any imPort businesses hiring right now? Just lookin' for something part-time that's willing to work around school hours. Uh, something that can hire a sixteen soon-to-be seventeen year old? [Because legally the casino can't. Talk about a bummer.] I'm good at a lot of stuff, and great at fixing broken things.
And that brings me to the second thing I wanted to talk about.
[His brow furrows a little in concentration as he lowers the camera so that it's leveled out before him.]
I guess I've been hanging out in Nonah most of last night and today, checking out the shopping scene and chilling with a friend...so I couldn't help noticing that huge flash and all that shaking earlier! Thought maybe it was just some kinda freak storm, but after Mr. Gamagori's post about it and what he had to say, I had to go see for myself if it was all true.
[He twirls the flashlight around so it's pointing away from him now, followed by the camera itself. At first, all that can be seen is a lot of dirt. Slightly uneven ground, free of tracks, spotted by stones of different sizes all very pale in color under the assault of the flashlight. And then—
—a sudden
d r o p o f f
out of nowhere, sharp and steep, and blacker than black, the strength of the beam generated by the light Josuke's holding being nowhere near strong enough to penetrate that depth or diameter.]
...and sure enough, here's the pit he was talking about! It's hella big, even if it's hard to tell 'cause it's so dark out here. But it looks like it's close to...forty meters wide? Maybe fifty! Would hate to piss of the person who did this...
But I gotta say, it's gonna make for one hell of a place to board. Thanks for the free spring break hangout, whoever you are! Even if you kinda pissed off Mr. Gamagori in the process!
['Kinda' he says. But let's be real, here. Pretty sure Gamagori blew out some eardrums over this whole thing!]

califor-ni-a all the way
but the chances of that regardless of what the intent was this time...
[Not good, to say the least.]
california dreaming
that icon is distracting...... also 1/2
AUDIO NOW! 2/2
Do you know how annoying it is trying to text a lot when you don't got dainty fingers?
[He heaves a sigh, relieved to be able to just say everything now rather than struggle with trying to type it all out.]
So, anyway...I'm not sure how much we can actually 'assume' in this case. There's just as much of a chance that whoever did it is someone who's been around a while and either held off testing a power or just got a new one or something.
I mean it's probably more likely it's a new person, but...there's really no guarantee.
no subject
[ She can't really say she knows what it's like - she's petite all around. Regardless, Annie switches over to audio as well. ]
If it's a new power, you can still check Port-in Port-out records. Those adaptations don't come out of nowhere.
[ She says, having blipped through that herself. ]
It's not about guarantees as much as a starting place.
no subject
[A hand wave that she can't...see...]
My point is, it's hard to narrow it down to a starting place because all the possibilities are all pretty likely in the end. I mean, there's probably a lot of imPorts who've come in and haven't shown off a huge power right away. So it could just as easily be someone who's been hanging around a while as it could be someone who just popped in.
[How many creeps or 'villains' kept their shit under wraps for a bit before they caused trouble here? That's what he's talking about.]
It's like I was telling Jotaro...it's really not worth getting up in arms about because there's no practical way of successfully narrowing this shit down to a few likely people! Best we can do is just keep our eyes open and stay on our toes.
no subject
It's less about who this one person is, and more about what else it means they need to keep in mind and predict. She's just...
Can she just avoid this shit for now? Doesn't seem like it. Nonah is her adoptive home in this world. Having another imPort threat to it just... ah. She should leave it to Gamagori. Maybe she can just head back to bed... ]
The same thing we should be doing anyway, you mean.
no subject
[He sighs.
This isn't his idea of a good time either, you know? But he's serious. For all they know, it might not have even been a power. There was a large flash, it could have been a test site for something technological (given Nonah's reputation) or even a bomb.
Though nothing looked particularly scorched out there...but by the time Josuke went to see, it was also too dark to tell and he hasn't been back since daylight.]
I know it doesn't sound like much, but sometimes that's all you can do.
[He's not happy about admitting that. Not at all. But it's what he believes. Especially because he doesn't know anybody himself who's been keeping power tabs or the like.]
no subject
[ She knows that. She's lived playing the long game, knowing she needs to survive day to day to cling on and make it to a goal she doesn't even talk about now. Not in the specifics.
Some things just aren't hers to share. ]
I'm not trying to be dismissive. Keeping an eye on things is... habit for people like me. It's what I've had to do the last six years of my life, and to a different degree before then.
