[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.

You only say that because you don't know anything about the entertainment industry.

Who would want to be the head of this empty city, anyway?

uh, fair, i guess. what, you're an actor or something?

and nobody, *unless* whoever brought us here has something on us that's going to make us really, really want to be head of this place.

An idol.
It's a dog-eat-dog world out there for us.

[ not that popular yet, but details. ]

Okay, well.
What would make you want to be the head of this place if that was the scenario?

what, really? they're just picking up normal people...?

[not everyone can be a time traveler, huh. hm.]

that scenario can kiss my ass. i'm teflon to mastermind bullshit. nobody i'd go all out for is here, anyway.

Definitely not normies like you.

Sure, if you say so.

huh? oh. i mean this place is just picking up ordinary people, unless you're *also* a secret superhero.

are you a secret superhero.

Oh

[ ......................... she's embarrassed now. good thing this is text! ]

Wait, what do you mean?
Is everyone else a superhero?

Are you a superhero?

definitely not me. but i'm more used to this kind of thing, i guess. it's happened to me before.

if anybody starts flying around i'm going to be jealous.

You're used to trains making stops in weird empty cities?

I guess that sounds pretty cool. But is there anyone here who can even do that?

no, i've been kidnapped.

and i have no idea. ask around? or just look up.

If you have no idea, why did you say "they're picking up normal people"?
When you got kidnapped before, were you kidnapped with other superheroes?

maybe everyone else i've met is a total weirdo.

[not entirely untrue,]

and no, but you're not going to believe me if i tell you the truth.

Wow, way to be judgmental of people's quirks.

And why not?
How ridiculous does the truth sound that I wouldn't believe it?

whatever, me thinking some of us are weirdos is the least of anybody's problems.

really? it's time travel. quantum field trips, the whole deal.

Isn't it also weird that you've been kidnapped twice now?
You're part of the group, too.

Wait, were you kidnapped before as part of a science experiment?

i didn't say i'm not. you're the normie, normie. unless you've got idol secrets no one could ever imagine.

kind of, yeah.

I suppose I do. I can't say it, though, since I'm also hiding it from someone who's also here.

Maybe you just have very bad luck.

so you are a secret superhero?

and yeah, the bar's pretty low. wish i could wake up somewhere i have before.

[ what is your obsession over superheroes, junpei??? ]

Still no.

I also just wanted to go home and that train brought me here.
Pretty sure the Yamanote line doesn't pass by this way.

[he has a complex, please don't judge him.]

that's what a secret superhero would say.

i wasn't even near a train... if we all got kidnapped to tokyo, it'd be a lot easier.

How would you know what a secret superhero would say?

I bet it would be.
I could go home if that's the case!

i've read comics, duh.

there'd be more to do, too. i'm already sick of hanging out at the laundromat.

I feel like comics isn't a good enough source for this kind of claim.

There are other places to go to in this city, though?
Unless you enjoy watching dull things like laundry.

picky like a secret superhero, huh...

i got tired of wandering around looking at empty restaurants. i mean, if that's what you're into, don't let me stop you... it was starting to creep me out.

What about them is creepy?
Other than the food laid out in the kitchen.
If anything, it's pretty convenient.
