[There video opens to a beautiful scene of a sunset at the Fishing District, sky painted in magnificent pinks and oranges that reflect against the pristine ice. A few moments later, a young man's voice accompanies it, tinged with the telltale slurring of someone who's rather drunk.]

Hey, question.

[A pause hangs in the air for a minute, almost long enough that one might wonder if he's gotten distracted or forgotten.]

Did you like your life, before the Storm? [. . .] If the Natha gave you a chance to go back, would any of you stay here?

[Kagari doesn't miss Japan. He doesn't feel homesick. He misses his friends, sure, but he's had more in the past nine months than he did in the twenty-one years before it. But he's starting to feel like the only one.]

You could describe Rousseau as a philosopher; but his philosophy demands action. That is what interests me. [But apparently Kagari has a philosophically minded friend...]

I have a copy of Rousseau's Social Contract here, if your friend would care to read it.

[hedonistic]

Like, the paper kind?

[uGH he's kind of mad at said friend right now for somewhat selfish reasons, but he also knows this is the kind of opportunity Masaoka would be THRILLED about so....

HEAVY SIGHING commences.]

Yeah, he'd be all over that. His name's Masaoka, username Hound 1.

[idealisme]

Of course the paper kind. [Enjolras has been here long enough to pick up on modern technology but something things he still doesn't understand.]

He will not mind if I contact him?

[hedonistic]

Don't of course me, paper books are antiques and collector's items in my era.

[A small huff punctuates that.]

Anyway, probably not. Besides, he's probably gonna see this eventually.

[which he'd be properly embarrassed about if he wasn't trashed half out of his mind rn]

Just tell him you know Kagari if it gets weird I guess.

[idealisme]

I will. [He's even looking forward to it somewhat.]


It was good speaking with you, Kagari.

[hedonistic]

Uhh...thanks.

[he sounds a little like he's taken off-guard, even by something as simple as that.]

You, uh, you too, I guess.

[idealisme]

[He's capable of using his manners.

He nods.] Good day.
