I've got a question.

Hadn't given it much thought before.

Has anyone ever beaten that game the terminals come with? The one where that thing is after you and you have to collect items? I've gotten up to seven, but no further than that.

[What he doesn't mention, however, is how unnerving the game gets after a while. Then again with everything he's seen it doesn't bother him as much as it used to.]

...I hope I didn't just doom us all by even mentioning it.

[She's looking aaaaaaaaaaawkward.]

[wegotlucky]

Let's uh.... let's hope not.

[slightlyoblivious]

Right.

...um. Subject change time! I haven't been as active on the network as I'd like to have been lately. I don't guess anyone's tried contacting Riki?

[wegotlucky]

Not that I'm aware.

That person a while back successfully contact Jason, though, so at least we know it's possible.

[slightlyoblivious]

Hmm. I don't know if I'm the best person to try, after...some stuff that happened. I'll think about it, but maybe someone else should.

[She kind of doesn't want to talk about it.]

[wegotlucky]

Maybe someone from Pandora?

I'll ask around.

[He has his own reasons for not wanting to ask either, so he's certainly not going to force this kid to do it, especially when it's clear she's been through the ringer too.]

We need to find someone who would know what would appeal to him directly, that's the first priority.

[slightlyoblivious]

Pandora...that's right, I'd almost forgotten about them. I think they're probably our best shot.

Thanks for asking about that. You're right that we need to appeal to him directly, and now that I think about it, they'd know better than anyone, no?

[wegotlucky]

Yeah, I think so.

I'll ask Pandora, see what they think.

[slightlyoblivious]

Thanks a lot, Neal-san. I really appreciate it.

[Assuming they exchanged names at some point.]

[wegotlucky]

No problem, Yukiko.
