001 BITE. VOICE.

It's a bit to take in. The entire world is gone... or my world.

And all I got to console myself is with this fuckin' oatmeal bullshit.

These people really don't know how to treat anyone, do they?

[SCORE. He didn't sound at all like a cop, granted, but that was basically a shot in the dark.]

Good. Very good. If you were a cop then we'd have some serious problems. [Like, for example, the fact that his version of cops are brainless drones ordered around by some of the biggest maniacs in Tokyo.]

Oh?

And, well, I can't say they're all snakes. I like a few of 'em, but the majority of 'em stink.

We don't even have that comfort. They got a badge, they're worthless, through and through.

Sorry to hear that.

I met at least three I'd stick personally. [ And that's a compliment in his book. ]

Huh. I guess we all knew they were pretty lousy as far as police went anyway.

What do you do, then? [He could guess it's something illegal if the cops were a constant problem, but past that, nothing.]

Let anyone in these days.

I'm a member of the yakuza. If that means anything to ya.

[o h s h i t]

...Yeah, it does.

Proper greetin's then.

Goro Majima, patriarch of the Majima Family which was part of the Tojo Family. I wonder, does that mean anythin' to ya, kid?

[ Not really about intimidation, but could someone else have survived from his world? ]

The names ain't familiar.

[Beat... yeah, Beat is basically a street punk? No titles to speak of, and definitely no member of the friggin' yakuza.]

[ Sighs. ]

Well, it was worth a shot.

So, after I finish havin' to be forced to eat this vomited chunks of meal, am I gonna be allowed actual food?

Yeah, you are. Choke down the oatmeal and you'll be able to stomach other stuff again.

Good.

Hate to wear my throat to nothin'. Somethin' like medicine, eh? It still is a shitty way to start livin' in this place.

Hell if I know. And yes it is, but as you've probably noticed by now, they really don't care as much about our comfort and safety as they say they do.

Ah.

I remember ya sayin' somethin' about that.

Save us to be fed to dogs? What's that about?

They like doin' their little experiments on us. [Fortunately he's been spared it himself, but there are enough stories running around if you know where to look.] That's the only reason we're here, is what it looks like.

Haw? I never liked them sci-fi flicks much.

I 'uppose that explains this collar I'm sportin', though.

Yeah, far as I know it's another thing they can poke us with to see what happens. Don't think it does anything, though.

It's orange.

It kind of clashes.

Maybe... I should ask for another color...

...That's a first. Never heard someone ask for a better color before.

[Seriously man, you sound like another friend of his. This friend.]

Think they'll give me one?

Worth a shot.

All right.

How do you get a hold of 'em, then?

Suggestion box, bottom floor. Never used it myself, but it's as sure a messenger with them as you're gonna get.
