[Voice]

[In the middle of a restless night, Akechi addresses the radio.]

One thing has become abundantly clear since my arrival: the vast majority of us hail from different times, if not different worlds.

[He pauses, letting that sink in.]

For instance, I'm from Japan in the year 2017. However, it is specifically the same version of Japan shared by Akihiko Sanada and Naoto Shirogane... in the future. That places the three of us in a shared reality, but not the same point in time.

However, our version of Japan has endured a number of odd, even supernatural occurrences, such as a "Dark Hour" and, more recently, the vigilante work of a group of "Phantom Thieves" who quite literally changed the hearts of wicked adults through the use of a parallel, cognitive world.

[His voice remains calm, if tinged with a subtle weariness.]

But that is far from universal. In my time here, I have encountered a talking turtle from a world where yokai and mutants are real. I've spoken with someone who had been sent into a digital world, like an isekai protagonist. I even had to explain the concept of religion to Serph-san, as well what a horse is.

[...]

All this to say, it may be worthwhile to cross reference the worlds and time periods we hail from. If nothing else, it may help us discern patterns that could in turn heighten our understanding of our present circumstances.

Well, fifteen-year-olds can be pretty dumb.

[He says from his lofty sixteen years.]

What did you want revenge for?

[Leo can tell this is probably something serious, so he's not sure if asking the question is a good idea... so he tags on:]

No pressure, though.

[Jack laughs a bit.]

Oh, I suppose that's true. I would rather just be what I am. No one smart would elect me for anything, anyhow.

Not that I think it will become an issue here! Unless we as a group decide we need to elect a leader for some reason.
faceguy: (i guess payback is)

[Whoa, okay. That's pretty heavy.

And it takes Leo a second, but it does click in his brain soon enough:]


Wait... are you talking about your dad!?

[Or at least someone who was involved with his mom.]

Right. Share it when it's done.

[And that's... more or less what counts as a sign-off for SecUnit, it seems.]

I'd agree, but you never know what will happen when you get enough people together for long enough.
faceguy: (so you got a cross to bear)

[personal profile] faceguy 2025-03-13 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Leo doesn't quite know what to say to that. He knows sometimes his dad wasn't the best, but he was never like that.]

Uh... sorry. That sucks.
wereperrito: (thinking)

[And Jack has always been able to just slip away from the higher power if he needed to. That'll be a little harder here, when they're on the move together.]

Hopefully nobody gets that into their head, then.

[ Yeah, Shadow is less and less pleased by all this with each passing word. ]

Do you think we could find some way to test the food...?

[personal profile] wereperrito 2025-03-15 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. I suppose so, after the therapist thing, yes?

[Or the politicians. Or something else Akechi hasn't even mentioned yet! There are so many awful possibilities.]
wereperrito: (confused)

[personal profile] wereperrito 2025-03-16 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
How old are you?

[Because Jack was under the impression Akechi was a teenager, and that if he's had "an entire lifetime's experiences" with being a puppet, Jack might be a bit concerned.]
wereperrito: (lookdown)

[personal profile] wereperrito 2025-03-17 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
I feel suddenly very old.

[Said with a sigh.]

I am sorry that you had to have so many experiences by eighteen to feel that way.

[He knows he was awfully disillusioned at that age, as well, though mostly only for one fairly large reason, not a lot of... possibly equally large reasons.]
wereperrito: (smilesmall)

[personal profile] wereperrito 2025-03-17 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Now he sounds like Jack at that age, run away from home, bitter, and unable to properly contain the wolf. There's less awkward sympathy and more understanding in his voice when he answers.]

Yes. I can see how that would be. I hope your troubles were over before you were brought here.
