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.......]

[ She cannot be expected to keep up with checking on that. Though perhaps she should be. ]
no subject
[If only the kiosks were still around, they could probably ask those.]
yikes time
There are a few moments needed to consider how many faces she has seen at different gatherings and those who have been repeatedly noticed. Then there's the network. Her own acquaintances aside, she has done her best to keep track of the trends in this city if only for her own curiosity. A notebook has been helpful, but most of it is memory. She is one to watch. ]
If I were to offer a hypothetical estimate of, perhaps... nearly one hundred captives, would you say? If anywhere near that, even if there are a hundred more, then we do have more cause to worry. Should he plan to fill the city, as it is now scarcely populated while the walls yet continue to expand, how long might that then take him to accomplish?
[ Is she going to need to take up gardening? ]

And a headache, honestly. We need a big clue to really kick it off.
