un: junpei | video
[The video opens on Junpei in an office chair - in his Secret Club Meeting Room (read: generic office building conference room) although this is not a secret meeting. This is Junpei spinning slowly in an office chair while he holds the camera up, tilting as far back as he can without tipping the chair over. So it's going great.]
So, city-zens, [.....ahem,] I've got some miscellaneous questions for you.
First, time travel: real? Let me know. [......,] I mean, you know— Before you got here, that is. Like how experienced are you in the realm of quantum... quantum-y goodness? I just thought that maybe it would be real for somebody else by now, but I dunno... Let me know that one instead.
[Cough. Anyway.]
Second, are we all just, uh... hanging out now, I guess? Um, like— who's trying to clip through the weird fog and get out still? Anybody? I'm looking for group, or whatever you call it. We can do code names.
[Junpei is not a gamer.... don't believe this... he's just cringe and thinking about half-press-A-ing through the universe, to wit as he spins faster in his chair:]
Third, whoooo's all in for simulation theory? [as dryly as possible, womp...] Eh? Woooo yeah... simulation theory...!
[The video tilts as he lets go with one hand to hold up... a pinched-fingers hand puppet 🤌... it's still fine, he's doing great. He pitches his voice up higher for the puppet, because of course he does:]
But Junpei, how is this a simulation? Well duh, why else would this place be like a city that doesn't know what a city is supposed to be like? And all the weird loading fog? C'mon! Buuuut Juuuunpei, are we all full of tubes and stuck in goo pods like in that movie?— [Ah, ahem, cough. He puts his hand down.] Maybe.
Or uh, whatever else is in the theory pile. Half the people I was messing around with about theories went and disappeared, soooo... Well, I'm gonna get serious cabin fever if I can't figure something oUT—
[Local Man Tips The Chair Over and Totally Wipes Out, stay tuned for updates. The video ends when the phone drops face down onto the floor, bye.......]

Yeah, I'm from the future. [giving a little finger-wiggle as he says this, for emphasis,] Time travel could definitely be worse. This place sucks in a couple big ways, but hey— if we want to mind our own business, we pretty much can.

( And theoretically, that means Eddie's death might have meant something. )
Yeah, I guess we can. I can't say I miss that whole end-of-the-world panic.

[Junpei, who before coming here spent a very harrowing 24 hours time traveling to subvert more than one apocalypse, very pointedly doesn't mention this fact. Yeah, nothing happened in a 1986, for sure.]
Apparently spending as much time as I do thinking about the theories of what's going on here is the wrong idea, according to a bunch of people... Since nothing's going crazy right this second, yeah, I see the appeal of just chilling out.

( It's not like Eddie has anything better to do, anyway. It would feel more productive than pacing around his apartment waiting for the next weird shit to hit the fan. )
