[The Caninu man's sitting in Dahak, his robot, in front of one of the many terminals on Dorm Floor 2. Originally, Red had tried Dahak's radio but found that it didn't work at all. He didn't even get static; the thing just wouldn't turn on. The terminals were his only option for communication. It took a little while for Red to get the hang of them - that and waiting for them to come online - but at last he manages to get an audio entry through. The halls were quiet, thankfully, save for some red goo monster that Dahak had easily dispatched. Hopefully nothing worse than that would show up...]

Hey, anyone in this tower know anythin' about weird blood stuff? I saw this poor girl with blood spikes stickin' out her back yesterday, and tonight somethin' in my bed stabbed me and now my blood's movin' around. Is this normal for the tower or is somethin' real strange goin' on?

Oh, and if anyone knows where a guy can get some real clothes around here, I'd appreciate it.

[Now to wait and see who would respond... or track him down.]

She? You're sayin' you know her? Who is it?!

[This is bad. It sounds like there's at least two of them, possibly working together...]

What's gonna happen when I meet her? How's she gonna "play" with me?

Now you're starting to sound like Woodpecker. 'You know the Red Man!?' ✩ [ He imitates his voice in the most obnoxious way possible. ]

Well, that depends if she finds you fun or not.

The Red Man? Now you're just toyin' with me!

[Not only is this guy mocking Red, but there's some woman who's going to find him and play with him - probably resulting in lots of injuries. Still...]

Just bring it on already! I've taken down way tougher punks than you and your lady friend!

Aha, be careful what you wish for... ✩

Yeah, right, like anyone here could beat me! Tell ya what, I'll win without ever usin' that-- that Branch of Sin thing! Just me and my robot, pal!

[Goodness, he's riled up. Unfortunately, that's not going to go very well for him at all.]

Now, now, no cheating in the Carnival Corpse.

Cheatin'? Hah! Listen, kid, there ain't no rules in fightin'! I'll do whatever I want! I'll be waitin'!

[And with that, he logs off. Any further communication will have to be done in person; Red's still wandering the halls of the dorm floors, so it won't be terribly hard to find him if Hagire's that interested.]
