It can't hurt to try to put some pieces together now that we've had a little more time, right?
Has anyone been able to get anything other than suspicious glares from the Red Team? The more I hear, the less I like the status quo, but if we don't know what the hell they think they're doing we can't really make an informed decision on where to go from here.
I'm also trying to figure out what the... well, the purpose of the Games is. Okay, you get higher Priority out of it, great, but at what cost? If Red Team's so paranoid, why do they allow this distraction from everyone's jobs?
Why is it falling to us and Blue Team to clean up major threats? Speaking of, I hope you guys are all holding up all right, if you've been tangled up in that. The sector I was helping out with lucked out - it was a problem a lot of us have dealt with before, in a way.
No wonder Naoto's getting frustrated.

[Not that that's... necessarily a surprise.]
no subject
Well, until the kid showed up anyway.

'Souji'? Is that what he's calling himself?
no subject
If you expect the rest of us to try to accept the fact that you're different from how we knew you, why can't you try to accept that he's different from how you knew him?
no subject
You sure about that? The kid I knew was devious six ways to Sunday. We would've never suspected him if we hadn't found those tapes.
...'sides, it's... harder to accept. 'Ya know, after seeing everything through to the end.
[His tone turned carefully guarded toward the end there, not that there already wasn't a big clue in regards to how he referred to the bowlcut he knew in the past tense.]
no subject
Yeah, and we only caught onto your act because I knew Sis left the house with a cop. Well, that and trying to TV Naoto was kind of a big sign. So I could say the same thing to you, and yet here we are having a civil conversation.
I know exactly how hard it is, though I don't think you're up for capital punishment back home. I probably know the best of anyone here.
You might want to consider how much Naoto trusts him. She can see through that kind of bullshit. She wouldn't give him the time of day if she thought he was bad news.
no subject
Oh yeah, I got to see that first hand. Good thing she's infiltrating, or I would've let her know how well that worked out for Rise.
[He sighed in reality as a bunch of mental grumbling came over the psychic network.]
...and yeah. I saw how bad I was from Naoto's point of view too.
no subject
In any case, your world isn't either of ours. I'm not telling you not to have the pissing contest with Souji-san because he probably won't back down either, but really, we have bigger things to worry about. We can't get to the bottom of this crap if you guys are just going to snipe at each other at every opportunity. What happens when it's only the two of you who remember who you are?
[Naoki's a little in that boat right now - guess who his longest conversation before this jaunt with someone who's not infiltrating was with!]
no subject
...yeah I know. I know. I know.
[Another pause, stretched out this time before a quiet:]
I wish Saki was here.
no subject
[It's just that Naoki has to deal with the expectation that he'll never see her again.]
