2 ☄ Video

[The video opens on a guy with a mass of long hair that's being tied behind with both hands. The feed captures his medical coat, and the dim blue hue of monitors to his back. Their light reflects off the metal shelf by his right, whilst his desk sits in darkness, save for a lamp pointed down at the papers on its surface.

Machines hum in the background; together with the ticking of a clock and nearby footfall. He takes a hasty glance and, unsure of how to begin things, shuts his eyes. Does he introduce himself? Does he jump straight to his question? His fingers pull the tie taut then tap his sides. Last month's events were a strange twist of fate - a collapse of logic - that did not allow them peace. Alas! They had raised a question he could not solve alone.

It takes a moment of thought before he talks. His voice is calm but his speech? Noticably slow.]


On examining the situation with the rise of native superheroes, as you call them, I find myself puzzled. We beheld those who were ordinary become capable of the extraordinary. I request you answer one question that's on my mind:

What is the place of imPorts in this world now?
sleight_of_hand: (This world is still shitty...)

Same place we've always had: the monkeys in the circus.

[ He paused. ]

Okay, maybe that's a little unfair. At least the obnoxious fanboying over us might go down a bit.
sleight_of_hand: (Going over the clues)

Oh, uh...

[ Sheesh, how to even describe that... ]

It's like... when you really like something, and have to be as uncomfortably obnoxious about it as possible. Usually porn is involved.
sleight_of_hand: (I'm just so innocent)

[ Adachi couldn't help but snort a little at that reaction. Wow, what was wrong with a little porn, man? ]

Honestly, I dunno. Maybe we'll be treated a little more human. Maybe we'll be treated worse. There's really no way to predict it right now.
sleight_of_hand: (Er... if you say so)

[ Oh, but getting a prude started sounds fun. ]

Well, if you want to judge it based on that, then we're royally screwed.
sleight_of_hand: (Yeah whatever)

On my world, this country is known for racism, corrupt politicians, and sticking their nose into bullshit it doesn't belong in. They've kept people in classes under the illusion of democracy, and my own country tries to emulate it because it's 'better'. It just leads to a constant cycle of shit where if you're not important enough to decide who matters, than you're just at the mercy of someone with more money and more talent.

So no, there's really no chance that I can see.
sleight_of_hand: (Feeling queasy...)

[ Adachi let out a sigh at that. ]

Well... eh, my place on my world wasn't exactly the best. It's pretty much the only reason I'm sticking around to see how things blow up.
sleight_of_hand: (Er... if you say so)

Hey, it's fine. Not everyone comes from a crappy world. There's always hope that there's some world out there that isn't full of shit.
sleight_of_hand: (Er... if you say so)

[personal profile] sleight_of_hand 2016-10-09 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah, you're not the only one.
