[Now, Junpei is fairly certain they're all here for some kind of fucked up death game, because why wouldn't the third time be the charm!!— but until some mysterious costumed weirdo starts getting on all the screens and making announcements, there's not that much to go on. He can skulk around town glowering suspiciously at things for long so long.

Sooooo.]

if anybody wants my vote, it's t minus however the hell long before we all start killing each other. would love to be wrong, but if i live long enough to say i told you so, yknow. yippee.

so.

why do *you* think we're here? wrong answers only. top 3 by popular vote get a prize.

[Does he have a prize to hand out... No, no he does not. He will find some cheap garbage in one of the shops and write a 1ST/2ND/3RD PLACE on it, no problem. Eventually. Maybe even a sticker.]

and what do you guys think about picking code names? you know, just in case.

I don't think people are going to start killing each other the moment a scary voice tells them to. I think you do watch too many movies.

[coolerjunpei]

it's not the voice, it's the going home part, come on. i don't watch that many movies.

[100more]

I think maybe you do.

[But Hob is amused. Still, he hopes it doesn't become as drastic as that. Hob knows he wouldn't kill everyone here, even if it meant he could go home. He'd have to live with that for eternity.]

[coolerjunpei]

okay, maybe. but i'm still right. if some guy comes on the speakers and tells us we're all royally screwed, i'm coming to you for my personalized apology.

i'll rec you some movies after that.

[100more]

That's fair.

[Hob will give an apology then and worry about the ominous voice's demands.]

I do enjoy a good movie.

[coolerjunpei]

[Grumble mumble, why does no one believe in the truth of the ominous voice... Elsehwere, Junpei sighs. Okay, okay.]

yeah? what kind of movies?

[100more]

All kinds, really. I like a good drama, but also action/adventure, or even romance. A city this big probably has a movie theater. I wonder if the films are the same as back home.

[coolerjunpei]

do you think if there was a theater, the movie reels would even work...? all the papers and stuff are blank. maybe the movies are all props too.

[100more]

What? Nothing to read and no other forms of entertainment? People are going to riot out of sheer boredom.

[Of course, Hob lived for many centuries without movies, but he thinks the world improved greatly when books became widespread.]

[coolerjunpei]

see? you do agree with me after all.

[Ha-HA, take that. etc.]

guess we'll just have to keep each other busy without driving each other crazy.

[100more]

Riot against this city not kill each other.

[He can practically feel the sigh on the other end.]

Yes, I suppose so.

[coolerjunpei]

what, wreck this empty place and then have nowhere to sleep and still be stuck here? now that's stupid.

[100more]

Pretty sure it'll get the attention of whatever is keeping us here.

[coolerjunpei]

wreck something we're not using, then. like the maybe-there-maybe-useless movie theater.

[100more]

Even if we could destroy some of it, the city is large enough that we'll still have plenty of places to sleep. It's not like we're all stuck in the same barn or something. But we'll hardly do a huge amount of damage without some major firepower or explosives, and I doubt those are just lying around.

Hopefully we can get out of here without having to resort to destroying anything.

[coolerjunpei]

i think i could blow up a stove if you left me alone long enough in a kitchen. one of those big industrial types...

not that i'm going to do that. but i'm saying it's possible.

guess we'll just have to wait and see before doing anything crazy.

[100more]

That's creative.

[Hob isn't sure how Junpei knows how to do that, but he's surprised and a bit impressed.]

[coolerjunpei]

thanks. it'll definitely get someone's attention.

hypothetically.
