[If there's one thing you never want to do, it's recruit Kaneda for anything that he didn't want to be a part of originally. Because getting teenagers to do ANYTHING you want them to never goes over well. In hindsight, the city should've known that. But being recruited for some military position? Doing a job (and an awful one at that, in Kaneda's opinion)? You might as well sign the release form now and let him get back on with his life.

But they didn't. Which...complicates things.

He doesn't leave a moment to cool off, flicking on the communication device to reveal a...very upset, very angry Kaneda.

Understandably. He already lost most of his life and friends. Two more just takes the proverbial cake. So the government might have to work a little bit to get Kaneda to cooperate, just a little.]

HEY! Anyone going to tell me what's going on without using crazy talk? Where my friends are? I don't exactly trust authority.

[They kind of fucked up his friend mega.]

And where's my freakin' bike?

[Ah, there's the teenage boy problems we all know and love. After all, why read the information when you can yell about it?]

[Ugh but he just DEALT with crazy talk, dad! At least people understanding for once calms him.]

Heh, wouldn't be so bad if I didn't just come from everything going crazy. Kinda want a little bit of a break, you know?

[ Kid, if he showed up here as a teenager his reaction would probably be almost the same. With the shouting and whatnot. Hell, his reaction was the same and he's an old fart now (not really.) ]

Not'a bad request. [ Just, y'know, not something you're gonna get. ] Ever hear the ol'... bad things happen in threes? Not saying you only had that many, but the world doesn't like dishin it out in one's and two's. Everything's gotta go all screwy at the same time.

[It's okay, pops, you look good for your age.]

Threes? Well, got more than my fair share of the first two, if that's the case. [But thinking it over, and flipping through the file, he lets out a sigh.] What's one more, yeah?

[He didn't like the situation, but he knew whining about it didn't exactly get things done. Other people had the same thing happen to them, after all.]

Guess I'm just worried. About back home, I mean.

[ GOSH GEEZ RUDE, he is not even that old, kid. Though once the big four-oh hits he'll get back to you. But no really, teenagers are fun, he remembers being a teenager. ]

You and half the population'a the place. Most people've got their share of this, that, and the other thing around here- but hey. At least you landed somewhere a little bit cushy. Not the comfiest, but it could be worse.

[ But yeah, okay, he nods. ]

Left in the middle of somethin?

[In your defense, anyone 'adult' is considered old. Don't tell him you're inching on 40, he might just call you ancient.]

Sounds like this place isn't all too bad, if that's how you're going to advertise it.

[Now if only he could believe it at face value.]

I'm not sure. I mean...I guess it was the end, but more of a 'where do we go from here' kind of thing. Everything was destroyed.

[ Oh yeah, like he's gonna bust out with that information to a teenageer. That's like an automatic death sentence. ]

You want me to say it's a shithole? Cause it ain't the greatest place on earth, not gonna give it that much, but it's got at least a few things goin for it. [ He offers up a one shouldered shrug - sometimes Ray is just that easy going.

But uh. Wait.] Everything everything?

[Well fine don't educate the young ones. See this is what's wrong with the older generations they want all the young people to solve their problems but don't tell them anyth-]

Heh, kinda reminds me of back home--wasn't great, but it was ours, you know? This...this is kinda like a rental.

[But he runs a hand through his hair, looking down at his hand.]

Neo Tokyo at least. Maybe even more.

[ WELL GOSH, Ray believes in the art of learning for oneself, even if that entails floundering around forever and ever and then, y'know, finally figuring it out. But that's just how he rolls... for the most part. ]

Yeah, I got that. My city was sorta mine- I could fit just about anywhere, but it's still been home long enough to mean something. And then you got this place where you could - bam, pow - be taken back home at any moment. [ Sound effects are accompanied by shadowboxing kthx. ]

Ahh..huh. And what year we talkin?

[Oh great you're one of -those- parents.]

Heh, well, can't say that's such a bad thing. We never asked to be brought here in the first place. And...well, I'm ready to go back.

I got people to get back to, after all.

[But the question makes him pause a split second.]

2019

[ He's one of those paranoid parents okay that simultaneously worries obsessively and lets his children wander aimlessly. Whoops. ]

'Cept you don't go back till the big man in the Porter says you go back.

[ .... sigh. ] Aaaand another one bites the dust, I swear none of you're from any further back than I am.
