[Good day city-zens, it's User Name Junpei here with another paranoid rant about god only knows what. Just kidding, he's laser focused his paranoia these days, so, ahem:]
Hi, uh, I'm Junpei, if you didn't know. [A brief pause, while he internally laments that he will never get his goddamn codename, but okay. He's made peace with it. He holds up two fingers.] Two things.
[He leans forward and his head and shoulders go out of frame for a moment, while the rustling of papers can be heard somewhere beyond the camera. Should he have gathered his materials beforehand? Yes, for sure, but such is life. Enjoy this view of his t-shirt while he swears and drops something back there...
When he leans back into frame he doesn't hold anything up just yet.]
First, since it looks like people are going missing now, do you guys think we should have... I don't know, a system? To keep track of each other? I don't mean something like the buddy system— [Although he doesn't NOT mean the buddy system, always investigate mysterious liminal cities with a friend!!--] —But... something. Besides running around looking for signs every time. We need to figure out where they're going.
[He's convinced they're still in the city but Taken Somewhere, you see. Where, though... mmm. Workshopping that. He sits there looking grim for a beat, then sighs himself out of it and lifts up one of his papers.
It has beautiful birds drawn on it. Some people may recall his canary symbol idea from Setsuna's meeting, ahem...]
Second is... this. Somebody out there's gotta be better at drawing a bird than me. If you see these hung up anywhere... be careful of whatever's around. [Another beat.] And, uh, if anyone wants to contribute to the cause, I'll pay you in beer and gummies? Normal gummies.
[sorry, he has no edibles. also never mind that one can get beer and gummies without joining his danger birds cause. sign up for art club!!!]

What, here? I don't know, a couple. It's not like it's a contest.
no subject
[ though
not gonna lie
it sort of is!!!!!!! ]
One should be able to say they hath surrounded themselves with plenty of allies, so thee should attempt to make as many as thee can! How else are we to keep everyone safe?!
no subject
[people are difficult! and sometimes he gets in a mood and snaps at people who won't just get over it and be team players! it happens. but rest assured that he Knows teamwork is the only way out of this.
sigh!! stay positive, ahem,]
You find any fireworks for your block party yet?
no subject
Nay. And I do not know how to make them, so I am at a loss.
[ she's become useless again....... rolling back onto her bed to draw. ]
Have thee an idea of it?
no subject
[It's Wrench again. It's always Wrench when it comes to things that might be illegal somewhere else.]
You think you want to have this party soon, or would it be too weird right now?
no subject
and
truthfully, she would like the distraction, but it is a little weird. she guesses. once he points it that it could be. on the other hand, distraction would be nice. her current fervor for art has most of her room dashed with sketches, paintings, worn down pencils and crayons off screen... thankfully sinclair always knocks should he need to enter, and she always meets him at the door. no one needs to see the disaster zone it's become in her melding of grief and rattling brain.
see her stillness. the quiet contemplation. she's forgotten she's on video. it's gonna be a hot minute before she speaks up. ]
... We will need to explain that we are attempting to make a racket like nothing else, and I think it will draw the attention of those who otherwise may not attend. To do so covertly, we shall need a reason for such an extravagant gathering. When is thy birthday?
no subject
maybe not so weird? quantum weird. whatever.]
Uh, good question. It's in February, but it was New Year's the day before I got here, so it's also kind of already passed...? You know, in terms of linear time.
[so he's useless in this regard, sorry. for accuracy purposes anyway.]
no subject
[ and she's not gonna make him lie about his birthday...... hmmmm. ]
Perhaps, then, a change of ideas. What say thee to a cultural exchange?
no subject
Sure, I guess. You have a holiday in mind, or something?
no subject
... ]
Nay, but I do not think the others would be against a gathering to learn of one another. There was a post some time ago about stories from home, and it seemed to do well.
[ she honestly. did not last past like, the first, with roland's. for specific reasons she's just staring at the ceiling for. it does not come through in her voice, hands raised in excitement.
and then don rising in excitement too, back to staring down her phone. ]
We could do something similar, but on a grander, more in-person scale! And at the end, we shall let loose the fireworks! There are many cultural differences in the Districts alone, so I have no doubts that those of different worlds would be just as dissimilar! Cuisine, holidays as thee have spoken, perhaps the sort of things that others value in art, history, and music -- such things are all important to humanity, no? And non-humans, for I know we have such about as well! It could be interesting, and helpful, to our goal of getting along, should we get to know another.
[ ... cuisine... ]
no subject
[oops! he was probably sulking about something. but he remembers the call for stories, so hm, it did well... neat.
that said,] Cuisine, huh. [gaze.......... anyway.] And I'm not saying no, but I can't organize a party at all, so you're going to have to take the lead on this one. And get ready for a bunch of jackasses who hate teamwork to shoot you down.
[he doesn't think this will put her off, really?? but it's the thing that would make him too angry to follow through, soooo.]
no subject
Worry not, Junpei, for I am a very persistent person. Should they not wish to come, they will be missing out on a great many things -- that I shall ensure. If nothing else, those who are alive shall always long for community and companionship, no?
no subject
Yeah. I mean, they should. Let's hope you can public-shame the rest into showing up for team building and trust falls.
