[The video broadcast comes from Inumuta's communicator, nicely and evenly propped up. If anyone cares to look at where he is location-wise, it seems to be a library. A school library, to be exact. Who knew Heropa had a University?

But moving on, don't people like him usually use text? He looks (and is) a complete computer nerd, wearing some kind of really stupid looking jacket-turtleneck combo. The collar of that jacket-turtleneck is high up, over his mouth even. How's he going to talk to you with such a high collar?

Well that's helped by the fact that his high collar parts itself open when he moves to speak.]

Hello. My name is Inumuta.

[And it zips back up. And then, unzips again between his pausing.]

I've already spoken to several of you, but I thought I should take this opportunity to introduce myself more publicly.

I've also noticed there has been a lot of conflict here. From murders and acts of violence to arguments over whether one should register versus remaining anonymous. To better gauge our small populace's attitude, I've put together a short survey of simple questions. It would be helpful to me if it was answered with the most truthful answer. If you'd prefer to tell me in private, there is the anonymous option as well.

Or, if you'd rather not tell me at all, please don't bother wasting my time with some kind of sarcastic comment like "don't tell me what to do!" or "why don't you tell me first?" Instead, I recommend doing something actually productive with your life, perhaps like taking up horticulture or reading a book. I have a few good recommendations for you, if you'd prefer the latter.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[And then following this transmission, there's a short text with the questions he mentioned earlier.]

Please rate questions 2-5 on a scale of one to five. One being "I strongly disagree" and five being "I strongly agree."

1. Your name?
2. Are you happy here?
3. Were you in the middle of "something important" before arriving here?
4. Were you given additional abilities upon arriving here?
5. Are you happy with these abilities you have?

A dedicated loyalty to rebellion, then. I can appreciate that.

What can I say? They always do mention that politics and religion should never mix, I'm just doing them the favor :)

Religion. Right. You're "an angel," correct? All encompassing, all powerful, warriors from the Christian God, angels?

Just about. I'm an archangel. What about you? You must be "a human", one of those things Dad made, right?

[See, he can do quotation marks too.]

Only a human, correct.

[Hey, he's not bothered by it.]

Would you mind if I studied you?

[Wait, what? Gabriel's just squinting at his device. He's not sure if it's the question, or the fact Inumuta just threw it out there like that.]

If you're talking slicing bits off and putting them in dishes under microscopes, I'd have to decline.

No. I wouldn't need to even touch you. You would just have to stand there for a few minutes. Ten, at most.

You just made that sound even creepier than the other option. Can't you just go read a bible like everyone else?

[HE'S NOT THAT CREEPY, REALLY... internally sobbing.]

That... won't give me the kind of data I'm looking for.

[It was definitely creepy, right up there on the creepometer....]

And what data is that? Spit it out kid, I'm not agreeing to shit without the details.

[It's not like he's trying to be creepy...]

Nothing unusual. The standard height, weight, age, HP, SP, heart rate, power level...

That sort of thing.

[As he neglects to mention a few others. Like 'weak point.']

[Such are the hazards of text.]

That sounds like some dungeons and dragons crap right there, kid, I'll be honest with you. Pass, for now. If I get time later then I'll be sure to give you a shout.

[That and some things are just best left unknown.]

...

right.

Yes, maybe later.

[Not very good at hiding his disappointment here. Man, he could have studied an ANGEL and he FUCKED UP.]

[Siiiigh.]

Look. 173cm. Average. I stopped counting, but the vessel is from BC times at least and I was tall then, okay. Heart rate is between 70 and 80. HP/SP/Powerlevel- no.

Oh.

Thank you, Gabriel.

[And he'll just get the rest of that information later. He's still holding you to that, Gabe.]

Uh huh. Np.

My turn. What's with the turtleneck?

It's part of my school uniform, as a Three-Star of Honnouji Academy. I had the collar altered, because I like my mouth covered.

[Well, it's not the most unusual thing Gabriel has ever seen.]

Worried about people lip reading?

One reason, of many. A mouth gives away a lot, in body language and in words. I suppose you could say it's also symbolic of my position there.

Sounds fair. I knew someone once who shaved their eyebrows off completely and didn't draw them on or anything. They said without those eyebrows, no-one could accurately read their expression.

That's ... really inaccurate, honestly.

That's what he said. Shame he didn't stick around long enough, would have been hilarious to test that out.

I can tell you there's a 90% probability he was wrong, and then a 95% probability he was the kind of person to get mad at being told he was wrong.

Edited 2014-04-22 00:07 (UTC)

Only 90% Maybe I should have rubbed it in his face some more.

Perhaps specifically rubbed it around his supraorbital ridge.
