Capsule 013 💊 | Audio; backdated to 12/01

[rassera]

Tetsuo's gone.

[It's the hardest thing Kaneda's ever been able to admit, and a large part of him didn't even want to make this broadcast. Something about how this was his business, or how it meant admitting defeat in his search for his best friend and family. His voice lacks the confidence it usually has, the undertone almost a soft squeak, as if he's trying to hold back tears.

That may explain why this is audio.]


You know.


For anyone that was looking, or whatever.


[There's an audible inhale and exhale, gloves covering his mouth as he thinks some things over.] So...I'll be taking over Neo Tokyo til I can kick his ass for ditching me with it. You know how to find me.

[No they don't.]

Hard to imagine the big city built up even more than it is now.

[ He tapped the lip of the bottle against his mouth thoughtfully, before taking a swig from it. ]

Hell, from what you've said about it, I don't think I'd survive in that kind of place very long.

[Action]

[rassera]

It's--[How does he explain this.]

The old city was completely wiped. Nothing left of it.


And the ground's pretty much useless by then, yeah? So they just...built it in the bay. [Tokyo bay to be exact. It was the only place that they could, after all.]

And since it was all manmade, sometimes all you could do was go up. If you didn't know how to get by, you just...didn't.

[ Adachi paused, staring for a long moment before an uncomfortable look came to his face. It sounded like the way the world was now, only even more grossly exaggerated than his mind was willing to picture. He let out a breath after a moment, shaking his head. ]

So I guess going back isn't on your priority list.

[Action]

[rassera]

Can't say it is...


[Kaneda's smile is bitter sweet, as his hand glides horizontally in a soft, slow swipe.]


It's...gone. Just like the first Tokyo. Me and a couple of my friends? We're all that's left.

[Action]

[sleight_of_hand]

Gone... hunh...

[ That was harder to hear than he thought it would be. There was a point where he would have laughed at the idea of the bullshit world being wiped away, but... well, now he knew better. It sucked to know better. ]

That's rough, kid.

[Action]

[rassera]

Mmm....yeah.

[A hand rubs the back of his neck, looking off to the side. His feelings on Neo Tokyo were mixed at best. And even now he's not sure if he even wants to go back to it....

Then again, staying in America isn't exactly on his top 10 list of to-do's, either.]

I lived, though, right? 's all a guy can ask for.

[Action]

[sleight_of_hand]

Not always.

[ God, he couldn't believe he was saying shit like this. This more shit for the brat and the Nonvestigation Team. Ugh... ]

Sometimes having people around you give a shit about is more important.

[Action]

[rassera]

[Wow Adachi, maybe they rubbed off on you more than you care to admit.]

Yeah...

Guess that's why I don't really want to go home.



Wish Tetsuo didn't.

[ Adachi paused a moment, before gesturing with his beer. ]

Maybe there was something he needed to accomplish back home. He could come back.
