[morituramfides]

Alright, whoever's in charge, listen up.

I don't know who the hell you think you're are, but I'm not gonna sit quietly and be another test subject for a bunch of assholes who think they "saved" me. I don't need saving; and I sure as hell ain't gonna put up with your shit if you make me stick around.

[Jin reached for something behind the computer, obscuring the view, before returning to look at the computer. He pulled out a pack of matches, took one out, struck it and lit something behind the computer, putting it out when he returned to view again.]

I hope you all rot in hell.

[He got up, backed away from the computer, and there was the sound of an explosion for a split second before the video feed cut out.]

(ooc: feel free to respond in action or over the network; if you want over voice, text or video, he can just go to another computer.)

1/2

[floreatnoctem]

[She knows that voice.

She's known that voice for years.

She's torn between being glad to hear it again, and anger at what his being here means. Another of them for the tower's scientists to toy with. As if their time with the Kirijo group hadn't been enough.

But of course, Jin is smart enough to figure that out.

Which is why, before the match is even properly out, she's already out in the hallway and listening for the explosion.]

2/2

[floreatnoctem]

[She hears it and whirls, following the sound to smoke and flames, her expression somewhere between resigned and exasperated.

He really has to learn another way to handle his anger issues.

Her voice rings out as she approaches, not loud by any means, but sharp and reprimanding. After all, they're not the only ones around, and she knows Minato would be angry if anyone got hurt.]

Jin.

[morituramfides]

[Jin was standing near the now blown up and smoking computer, the smoke basically a nonissue in his life by now. He was more the used to it, and only passively waved some smoke out of his face.

What did garner a reaction though, was a very familiar voice calling him. He jerked his head towards Chidori with a touch of surprise.]

Chidori? You're here?

[floreatnoctem]

[Chidori waved her own hand to clear the smoke from her face and then gave him the flattest of her arsenal of 'son I am disappoint' stares, lips pressed into a thin line of disapproval.]

Unfortunately.

[Unfortunate that this place existed. Not unfortunate if it kept bringing her Family along for the ride.

...well. Less unfortunate, at least.]

Are you planning to destroy much else?

[morituramfides]

[Her disappointed face only garnered a scoff and a slight look away from him. No he wasn't going to feel guilty for blowing stuff up.]

Gladly; but I don't have enough explosive supplies to level this place.

[duplicity]

[holy shit holy shit

finally, someone he recognizes. knows, even. he is at once consoled and also a little anxious, for both of them mostly. how many others would...?]

lmfao these combos up in here

[duplicity]

[but that can be contemplated later. for now:]

J--Jin!!

Exploding computers get all of the combos B]

[morituramfides]

Huh?

[This guy knew him? Jin sure didn't remember him; he quirked an eyebrow ever so slightly.]

Do I know you?

[duplicity]

Err...

[pause. oh, not again.]

It's Bakura Ryou. Don't you.. remember me at all?

text;

[restitchtime]

Oh no, not our precious computers. Now how will I ever communicate with all the sterling examples of humanity present in this tower?

text;

[morituramfides]

Clever.

I suppose I would care if I actually wanted to communicate with you.

text;

[restitchtime]

And you're not going to be gracing us with your generic railing against the man? Christ, I might as well find a good staircase to hang myself from in that case. Life's obviously not worth living now.

text;

[morituramfides]

I have no reason to talk to you about it. I'm assuming you're not one of the administrators, so there's nothing you can do from my perspective.

If you're going to hang yourself from a staircase over this, be my guest.

[fracta_anima]

[Another one. Minami bites her lip. Even if she has that other Minato watching her back, this is still Strega, still the people who killed so many and the people who fought tooth and nail against SEES.

Still.... better to let him know she's here than to find out from Minato and Chidori. The sooner this was gotten out of the way, the better.

She pops up the video feed on her end and waves, expression neutral.]

Hi.

[morituramfides]

[Oh great. It was her. Well if that didn't just put the icing on the cake.]

You're here too, huh? Is the rest of your little team skulking around too?

[fracta_anima]

[Try to be helpful, Minami. Lying won't do any good and Jin is the one who didn't cut as deep as the other two. This should be like tearing off a band-aid.]

Sorry, no. It's just me, but the rest of your team is here.

Er, Miss Yoshino and your leader are here. Amada-kun and your dog isn't.

[morituramfides]

Good. [A curt reply to both statements, apparently.]

Guess I'll just have to deal. Learn to stay out of our way yet?

[action] FUCK DA POLICE

[fractus_animus]

[ ... GOD is he tempted to just smack you upside the head, but he doesn't want a grenade to the face, so he clears his throat.

Finding Jin wasn't hard, really, considering the smoke and the explosion. ]

... You know, if there was ever any doubt I was going to have trouble finding you here, I think you just erased it.

[ God, he's--so happy. So glad. Jin is here and he's safe and he won't say it but he's so, so relieved.

Not going to say that, though, instead what Minato says is this: ]

Nice entrance. Very dramatic.

[ ... He gives you about a 7. ]

CAN'T BE TAMED

[morituramfides]

[That throat-clearing was definitely familiar; Jin whipped around and holy crap it was Minato.] Minato?! [It was definitely a relief, but what the heck was he doing here?]

[He looked like he as going to be annoyed for a minute, but he did muster a teasing roll of his eyes.] Glad it got your approval.

[Come on, that was worth at least an 8.5.]

awww yeaaahhh (YEA!!)

[fractus_animus]

[ Nope, he's a tough judge, Jin. He's seen your ~finer~ work. He's actually lowering his score to 6.9, that was kind of boring. Not nearly as fun as the time they faked their own deaths, y'know-- ]

... Try not to blow up anything else, all right? At least, not without coordinating with me first. It's a waste of explosives; our resources are even more limited here.

[ Unfortunately. He hasn't given up, obviously, and even Minato has a hard time keeping a small, SMALL hint of discontent out of his voice, here. ]

... Chidori's here too, by the way.

[ Uh. There's a doppelganger of him here... man, maybe he ought to find a chair or something. This is gonna be one long explanation-- ]

/guitar riff

[morituramfides]

[Fake deaths always get a bonus though! It's fake deaths!]

Right; The freaks gave me a whole bunch of stuff in my trunk, but I bet I could even work something with stuff they leave lying around.

[At the mention of Chidori, Jin even mustered up a half-contented smile. Which could have also been sarcastic, but then that was probably the same thing in this situation.] So the only one's missing are Ken and Koromaru? That's a plus side.

[Except it's totally OK for Koromaru to not be here really.]

[Video]

[evokingfool]

[Oh, it's that guy with Strega.

First thing first, clarifying what kind of world (and when) he's from. Timeline might be hard, but the worlds should be easier.

If Jin is from his world, where they're enemies, then might as well. If he's from the other Minato's world...well.]

They generally don't bother answering.

[Video]

[morituramfides]

--Minato?

[Wait, again?]

Yeah, I figured. But what the hell kind of trick are you trying to pull?

[Video]

[evokingfool]

I see you've saw the other Minato.

[Better get this over with.]

I'm not the Minato you know.

[Video]

[morituramfides]

[Dead. pan.]

Figures. So just who are you supposed to be then?
