First time

[browbeater]

[when the console clicks on, it doesn't look like the guy messing with it really expected it to. He was pressing buttons, finding out what the options where. his experience with cameras is also very, very limited. He presses the button again, and it switches off and to text.]

i'm new around here. not sure who this goes out to, but can someone tell me where i can find a news paper, or a job listings page? i'd appreciate it.

[there's a long, long pause, before he decides to add something else, this time switching it to video again. He seems to have figured out the camera, though he's still giving the camera a mostly apprehensive look]

Also, who checks these things? Do they go out to the whole city?

[a sigh, a bit annoyed, whether with the situation or his lack of understanding on what's going on with this form of mass communication is anyone's guess]

I'm Mako, if there's anyone listening.

[Raimei is way too straight forward to be thinking about anything except exactly what they're talking about at this instant.]

Don't say the name! [she protests instantly, not panicked but just vaguely scolding.] The commander told us it was a bad idea except on palace grounds. And some people got really hurt. So it's an enemy we should take seriously.

[he does pause at how serious she seems all of the sudden. It was a dramatically different from the somewhat vapid, distracted personality that she'd shown earlier. So, this guy must have cut quite the impression.]

Okay, I get it. I wasn't going to say its name-- that already got explained to me.
