Yo! What's the big idea!

[Excuse the shaky-cam selfie here. Someone is still a little bit flustered being dropped off with no ceremony like this. He's yelping, in the process, and the camera can catch a glimpse of messy blonde hair and a baseball cap before he drops it.]

[... yes he is yelling after the car that dropped him off.]

-- I said, take me back!

[The camera gets a nice view of feet, sneakers -- bearing a logo reading LUCK BOY. He's still shouting at the car, and debating giving chase. But then he seems to realize he's being recorded, and pulls up the camera.]

They can't just do this, right? This is bullshit, right? [And then, as an afterthought--] And someone can hear me now, so I'm not just talking to myself!

Right?

[Hello, Reese. Your respondent today is a very small boy.]

Nope. They totally just do that. I'm sorry you've been dragged in, too.

I promise it's not all bad.

[This is the most unflattering selfie angle aver. He's just peeking into the range of the camera.]

Oh, yeah, sure. Getting hauled out of really important things isn't all bad!

[amadaman]

Yeah, unfortunately the Porter doesn't discriminate here. It was the same for me.

What I'm saying is, while you're here it won't be as bad as needing to fight to survive every day.

[stitchwitchbitches]

Why would it be like that anywhere! I had... I had stuff going on back home! That's all!

Boy. Sure wish THAT one worked.

[Looks like it's time for the influx of new people--Kaneda's starting to get this pattern down pretty well. Leaning forward on his chair at Neo Tokyo, he scoots towards the comm and puts his arms on the counter in front of him, giving the cam his full and undivided attention.]

They can, they did.


Yeah, it's bullshit.

[stitchwitchbitches]

Wow, it doesn't work? I'm amazed.

[HUFF HUFF HUFF -- who even is this. Where is he?]

So we're just supposed to lie back and take it? No way, man!

[glowsferatu]

They didn't choose to bring you here, and definitely can't send you back, so. I don't know, I think putting you up is probably better than dumping you on the streets.

[ Which, sensible an answer as she thinks it may be, is probably undercut by the fact that it's being said by some weird horned alien. ]

[stitchwitchbitches]

Oh, awesome, putting me up. 'Scuse me while I go thank them for stranding me in the middle of nowhere--!

[Give him a second to let the ranting out. He'll pay attention to the video in a minute. And probably shriek.]

video.

[glowsferatu]

I really doubt they've just stranded you in the middle of nowhere, unless you've jumped out of the car. You should have been given a file.

[stitchwitchbitches]

How do y--

[Whoa whoa whoa hold on, now he looks at the video.]

What the hell!

[blahblahboom]

They can, they did and we can hear you. You're really loud.

[Have another grumpy teenager]

Don't bother trying to get back to the porter to go back home. I've tried.

[And all she wanted to do was study it for science. huff huff]

video

[stitchwitchbitches]

Good! 'Cause I can get louder if I have to!

[Ugh ugh this is all SO unfair and SO bad.]

Maybe you didn't try hard enough.

Re: video

[blahblahboom]

I'd go look again if it weren't for that stupid stuffy knight--

[HEY. Rita tried very hard thank you very much.]

What about you then? It didn't look like you tried very hard stopping them from throwing you out of that car.

Hello! Three big guys in suits? Little old me?

They didn't cover "fighting in a car" in school, genius.

[ Video ]

[dualismum]

Well, they didn't really have a choice regarding your arrival.

[ Video ]

[stitchwitchbitches]

Well then they should just put me back. If I'm too much for them to handle!

[ Video ]

[dualismum]

They can't. They can't do anything about that.

[oceanthief]

Why would you keep talking if no one could hear you?

[#priorities]

[stitchwitchbitches]

Peace of mind.

[oceanthief]

You don't seem that peaceful at all.

[primadovea]

Really, must you cause such a fuss?

[ says the girl who's equally confused about everything but is trying really really hard not to show it. ]

video;

[stitchwitchbitches]

Yeah, really. Because I dunno about you? But getting tossed into the middle of nowhere, USA? Sucks!

video;

[primadovea]

Of course it sucks—I don't want to be here either. But I honestly don't see how yelling is going to make the situation any better!

video

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Imagine if you were talking to yourself! How awkward would that be, right?

video

[stitchwitchbitches]

... Awkward. Really awkward. Glad it's not happening.
