[... if Nezumi were phased by the sudden earthquake, he's certainly not showing it. He's got the communicator loosely hanging from one hand at an odd angle and is stood on his balcony, giving the viewers a brief glance of his face before he flings his arms out. The swirling, zooming picture settles on an image of the post-earthquake Death City.

Bins, pots knocked over, a few lampposts that look like they're drunkenly swaying to one side, and cracks in the pavement.]

So, is this normal here too? Aside from constant surveillance, ongoing war and random kidnappings in the name of "war effort" they seem so fond of.

[The screen tilts again, and Nezumi gives the screen a very slight, lidded grin.]

Inquiring minds would like to know. If you'd all be so kind.

[... so sincere. :|]

Welcome to the new year, by the way. Late as it is. Seems as though we've been set up for such a fortuitous year.

[speaksdaggers]

Hmmm. Questions again.

[he gives nataku a pointed stare, before shrugging.]

Long enough. Not as long as others though.

[soulparadox]

How long do you consider this a short time if you can say "long enough?"

[speaksdaggers]

A day is long enough.

[soulparadox]

I see.

[speaksdaggers]

They don't seem to be in a rush to end things either. Who knows how long we'll be here.

[soulparadox]

You are not going to be here that long so do not worry about it.

[speaksdaggers]

I'll put my faith in the fickle, sentient machine some more.

[soulparadox]

As I said, you will not be here long if you have faith in something that has no feelings.

[speaksdaggers]

With any luck it'll sense I don't want to help it and it'll kick me out. [He waves his arms out in an arc.]

That'd be wonderful.

[soulparadox]

Yes, I am sure that it will.

[speaksdaggers]

I agree.

[soulparadox]

I was being sarcastic.

[speaksdaggers]

I wasn't.

[soulparadox]

I wish you luck, then.

And I am not being sarcastic.

[speaksdaggers]

Luck won't get me anywhere, but the sentiment is appreciated. [He supposes.]

[soulparadox]

You are welcome.
