[Minato frowns. In his mind, he's quickly going over all the information he heard so far and comparing them to past information from the Underworld.
Is this yet another game between the gods? Or a trick of the Apportioners? He can't rule out the possibility of other reasons for his world's destruction (assuming it's true, of course) even when Hades is finally killed.
First, he need to confirm who is here. As well as asking some important questions. The slight frown went away in favour of a more neutral expression as he turns on the video. It took him a moment to learn the basics, but it's not that hard for him.]
My name is Minato Arisato and I just arrived here. If my friends are here, please tell me you're okay.
[SEES, report in.]
And for those who have been here longer than I am, please take a moment to answer my question.
What happens if you die here?
[A rather morbid question, but it's still important.]

... It would be difficult to do what we do without it. Impossible, really.
[ It sounds cold and calculating, even to himself. The back of his mind is ill at ease, reminded of why he loathed Takaya as much as he did. But they were different.
Murdering people for pay. Gunmen for hire. Selling Suppressors or other illegal things. These were all ways that they made ends meet, just to live, and it was not easy--he did what had to be done. The blood was on his hands, generally.
... Even so, Minato was careful. He didn't like it, no, but... he had no room for weakness or wanting to show it. The weak were easily manipulated.
At the very least, he made sure the hits were quick and that the people requested deserved to die. He ran a well-oiled machine. If he said no, nothing happened. Cold, concise, easy.
He won't mention how he worries over Ken or Koromaru, who in his world, are in their care. ]
Besides which... the Dark Hour is what it is, like anything else, it has it's positives and negatives.
[Video; Filtered]
Peace and quiet, a time when no one would bother him on nights he or the seniors don't allow training at Tartarus. Or when he's not spending time with his friends.
He cares for them, but he'd like to indulge his small, selfish desire to be alone and rest. His only company would be the voices and his own thoughts.
But it's something he keep to himself.]
It does have its good points.
[He won't press on what the other Minato need the Dark Hour for. Necessary or not, he might disapprove of it.]

[ Flat out surprise. He is so used to Minami being utterly AGAINST it... but then, this IS him he's talking to. He had a tendency to see both sides to all things, after all. Usually.
Still, there is a bigger issue at hand. ]
Why did you give out my--well, our last name?
[ This is probably the confirmation he's looking for as to the differences. ]

[...]
To see who knows me or my same last name.
[That should covers SEES, from his or Minako's world, as well as anyone he interacted with in the Underworld. And knowing whether he's alone here or not.]
[Video; Filtered]
... If they corner someone, then it's going to be you.
[ He is intentionally vague. ]
I'm not going to go down because of your carelessness. I will never let them find me again.
[ All he had to do to be reminded of his life was feel the weight of the pistol in his shoulder holster. The gun that had taken so many lives, just for his own sake. For his 'family'. ]
[Video; Filtered]
[That reasoning is why he endure the hardship, both back home and in the Underworld. Torture, death, having his sanity tested, it does not matter as long as everyone isn't hurt.
(It might be difficult, with how widespread the 'games' can be--)
He would say he won't cause Minato trouble, but that's only referring to intentional ones. He have no control over unintentional trouble by others.]

[ ... ]
Stay away from Chidori. I don't like violence, but I'm not afraid to kill if it's necessary.
[ USER HAS DISCONNECTED |
Static is all he sees after this, and he won't be getting any replies. It's mostly a warning. He doesn't trust anyone in SEES, and he never will. ]
