[In a picture perfect seiza, Yugamu waves politely to start the video.]

Hello, everyone! I've spoken to a few of you already, but I wanted to try and make a more professional first impression!

[Putting his hand down primly on his lap, and smiling brightly in a way that could not possibly prepare you for what he's about to say;]

My name is Yugamu Omokage, and while I'm a professional assassin, currently, my goal is to become a doctor! If anyone has any tips on how to best further my education, I'd love to hear it! That said, if any of you are personally offended by Dr Spim's conscientious bedside manner like Mr. Silco, I'm happy to provide an alternative, I have lots of hands on surgical experience!

[This absolutely needless shot at Silco is offered completely blithely like it's funny to him, rather than a genuine mean spirited critique of the man.]

The other thing I'd like to ask after is information about the kaiju. I know there's some on public record, but I'm curious to get more personal accounts, particularly if anyone else has tried taking them apart or tested any toxins on them!

In any case, I look forward to working with all of you! My previous monster killing experience was with people my age so I hope to learn a lot here.

The opportunity is yours now. I have one as we speak.

[vivisexual]

[Oh this is either going to be very mean of hilarious, he just knows it.]

I'll certainly hear it though I can't promise I'll grant it.

[gimu]

Never speak of bottoms or cats in the same sentence or topic again.

[vivisexual]

[Hilarious it is!]

For you, curse-san, I'll do it.

But can I ask, since you referred to "human" fornication, are you not human yourself? You're not a cat as well, are you?

[gimu]

[ curse-san… ]

Not cat, no, but not—

[ not human, he’d almost said, but that isn’t true either, is it?

so now you must live this time as a human. ]

-not really a curse .

[ wow, that’s somehow harder to say than most. it tastes weird, fits strangely in his mouth, like an irregular stone laid heavy on his tongue.

unseen, he wrinkles his nose. ]

I am just Choso.

[vivisexual]

[Brother he was just calling you by your username!!! He doesn't know shit about curses!!!]

... Fascinatingly cryptic!

[It seemed hard to say for some reason, so he won't press for further explanation. However he will ask;]

Can you turn your camera on for a moment, Choso-san?

[gimu]

Hm?

[ a weird ask, but- ]

All right, all right.

[ the interface may be neural, but it still takes him a few seconds to figure it out. when he does, the video feed fizzes a bit. ]

2/2

[gimu]

[ he’d been sorting things in his room’s closet, and thus had given no thought at all to what the low lighting and small space might do to a finicky medium as the ocular cam.

a truly terrible visage stares out at Yugamu, blinking… not at all, actually. ]

Is this better?

[vivisexual]

[Ok he'd considered a wide variety of outcomes, but not this one. Fortunately he's unspookable as a weird goth freak himself.]

Not... really? Why are you sitting in the dark? I was hoping to see your face.

[gimu]

[ huh. he nudges the door open a touch, letting some light trickle in.

the dark resolves into the jumbled contents of a closet; boxes, swords, a long-tailed yankee coat, an overturned roomba. a horror becomes a guy, messy hair and the sleepiest eyes a living entity could possess. ]

I was busy. You know you could find my data file if you looked.

[vivisexual]

It's more fun getting you to show me yourself!

[And a video feed is a better look than any static images like what the data file has.]

But you are cute in a pathetic sort of way.

[gimu]

Well all r--

[ ... eh?

eh??

what

what does he make of that? is this a compliment? a declaration of war?

Choso Stares. ]

Th...ank? You?

[ ? ]

You are pleasant to look at, too?
