[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?]

Comments

[selfimage]

Humans usually do. They're generally very loud about it.

Given you haven't been anything else, have you?

[rassera]

Anything else?

[Give him a moment to pat himself down.]

No.

No dogs or...amoebas or anything. Just...regular ol' human.

[selfimage]

Then how would you figure that being human is any better than being anything else?

[ he sounds curious. ]

[rassera]

Easy. Look at the food they eat versus ours.

[Yep. that's seriously his argument.]

[selfimage]

[ he's quiet for a moment. ]

Ah, yes. Mortals do have bacon.

[rassera]

Now when are you gonna get that as anything else?

See? Point made.

[selfimage]

Wonderful, wonderful bacon ...

Though you don't need to be mortal to enjoy the majesty of it.

[rassera]

...

[Okay, he's got to ask.]

So..what's with all the weird talk, yeah?

Mortals, nonhuman...

What's your deal, huh?

[selfimage]

[ he sounds curious like he totally DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL (he did; shut up Loki). ]

My deal?

[rassera]

[He's onto you, buddy.]

You're into that mythology crap?

[selfimage]

Oh, no—I am that mythological crap.

[rassera]

...


AHAHAH!!!

Okay, either I got bonked on the head or you did.

[selfimage]

You just traveled through the multiverse and to completely different dimension—and you're telling me that my mythological being story is farfetched? Please.

[rassera]

[You know--after everything he's been through with Akira and Tetsuo....

And now this...

Maybe it's not so crazy after all.]

Okay, you got me there. But what the hell kind of place can keep a god trapped? Thought you guys were like...I don't know.

All powerful.
