animus_network | four ✾ intended to be voice, but due to terminal shenanigans, is video

[Yukiko has seen the writing on the wall, and she feels like she has to say something about it. She thinks she's hit 'voice' on the terminal. But because the terminals themselves like to play tricks at the worst times, of course, it's coming up as video.

And she has no idea.

Her face is approximately the color of her sweater as she starts to speak.]

A-ah, hello. This is Yukiko Amagi. Um, I think everyone's...probably seen what's written on the dorm walls.

[She still doesn't realize that this is video, so her little sigh and toss of her hair and added blush? All perfectly visible.]

...that whole 'Amagi Challenge' thing? It's kind of embarrassing, but that's how people referred to trying to actually get me to go out with them back home. I was always really busy with working and school, and, well, I didn't always read the situation well. So I pretty much wound up always saying no to everyone that tried asking me out on a date.

[She giggles, then, playing with a bit of her hair and smiling.]

But, well...I guess there's no sense in hiding it anymore, is there? I was going to say something to my friends privately, but since everyone can see it for themselves, I really shouldn't deny the truth. I'm dating Ryoji Mochizuki. And I'm really, really happy.

I think I might even be -

[She claps a hand over her mouth, shaking her head furiously.]

No, no, I can't say that much, not in such a public space! It's one thing to say the truth, but I can't tell everyone everything that I feel! There are things in a girl's heart that she just can't say in such a public space.

I just - it's not moving too fast, okay? Maybe we do spend a lot of time together, but that's perfectly normal! It's fine to want to be around someone you're going out with! Sheesh, saying things like that is way too much.

So that's that, all right? That's the truth of the situation, nothing more.

[Wait did he hear that right?]

~~Metal Gear?!~~ Ryoji Mochizuki?

...is that a problem?

No, just surprised.

Surprised? That seems kind of...well, odd, to be honest. Can I ask why?

It's a long story.

[But with that talk with Rise..]

So you saw that written on the walls and decided to speak out about it?

...it's not as simple as all that. That writing isn't just some rumor that came out of nowhere. It has its basis in things that actually happened.

[Rude, Naoya.]

That's right.

[Do you have a problem with him? Seriously, he has done absolutely nothing wrong.]

[No, he just remembers fighting another Avatar of you and how THAT turned out, that's all.]

You really do like her?

[After talking with Rise, he's wondering if this is another rumor or not...]

Of course I do! I told her I loved her. I asked her out. I wouldn't do those things if I didn't really like her.

[Geez, he's not going to go Nyx on people if he gets jealous. Maybe.]
