anewangle: (aha... this is really awkward)

1st Test [CONSOLE | VIDEO]

[The young man on screen looks to be in his early twenties, with dark hair poking out from underneath an old baseball cap. He's got kind of a nerd chic thing going. Or maybe an "I'm-a-college-kid-and-I-think-"formal"-means-putting-a-blazer-on-over-my-normal-clothes" thing. Either way, he doesn't stay silent for long. He got the whole newbie spiel already, from the welcome center and from a certain familiar face. City on the back of a giant turtle, less-than-friendly locals, weird soul jewelry... it's all pretty hard to swallow, but since his brain has so far refused to wake up and prove that this is all some sort of bizarre dream, he might as well give the consoles a try. Gauge the current level of tech around here, and maybe inquire after some pretty important information that the welcoming committee couldn't help him with.]

Uh... hi! My name is Tadashi Hamada, and I arrived pretty recently. That's probably pretty obvious, though...

[Focus, Tadashi. Stay on track. He smiles awkwardly, reaching up to tug briefly at the brim of his hat before forcing that hand back down and straightening up in his seat a little.]

I was actually wondering if there's anyone else here from San Fransokyo? You see, I'm looking for my brother. His name is Hiro. He's fourteen years old, about five feet tall, messy black hair? Usually wearing shorts and a hoodie? He was with me before, but I haven't seen him at all since I woke up here and I was wondering- [Wondering if something happened to him. Wondering if maybe his baby brother didn't make the jump between worlds with him. Worrying what that could mean and if this is all actually for real and time really does stop in his world...] Well, if anyone spots a kid that matches that description, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know.

[Have another smile, friends, thought a bit less awkward than before.] I guess that's all for now.

[The guy onscreen is strikingly albino, but otherwise clearly Japanese. Mid to late teens. Strange black choker around his neck with a box protruding from it and wires going from the box up to somewhere behind his ears. Without a closer scrutiny one might mistake it for a really weirdly designed media player and earphones. He's accessing this from the console in the Midnight Hotel lobby, not that one can see much of it behind him.]

Haven't seen the brat.

[Notable pause, a narrowing of the eyes, then the real reason he decided to respond to this post.]

Where the hell is San Fransokyo?
valevectorian: (you are getting in the way)

[Subtle rudeness is kind of this guy's default state. Luckily he is used to being stared at, so it's nbd if yet another person does it.]

I know California. I've heard of San Francisco, but not that city.

He seemed fine when I spoke with him. A little disoriented by his arrival, but I think we all were.

[Gene's a little jealous of the fact that two people from the same world showed up at the same time. He'd been in Keeliai for nearly a year before Tony had showed up, and Tony hadn't been best pleased to see him. Funny how things change.]

I'd check in the Midnight Hotel. I don't think he's found outside lodging yet.

[Huh... Xion might've mentioned about how there was a chance that whoever he was with hadn't come too, but... then again she hasn't heard anything about what happens to people who were with somebody when they arrived.

And in any case, that description is familiar.]


Um... I don't know anybody from.. [What did he say again?] San Fransokyo? But... I think I've seen someone like that.

[She can't help it, she giggles. The mental image is such that almost absentmindedly, a hand drifts up to feel her own two front teeth, as if checking for a gap there.]

I wasn't really looking for it, but... I think so.

[It doesn't feel out of place with her mental image, certainly.]

He was at the Midnight Hotel. We were trying to figure out what was going on with how the coffee beans keep reappearing.

[There's a long, long time when Krei just stares at the console before actually recording a video response. He never knew Tadashi Hamada, at least outside of that one brief interaction at the student showcase at SFIT, but he does know what happened to the young man shortly thereafter. He knows enough that he's stunned to see that particular face.

Finally he shakes his head and starts the video.]


Mister Hamada.

[He's dressed in clothing more appropriate to Keeliai than his usual immaculate suit, but other than that he doesn't look much different than any of his more recent appearances on television, back in San Fransokyo.]

Hiro is here, yes. Has a room just down the hall from mine in the Midnight Hotel, as a matter of fact.
kreitech: (got a new face)

[personal profile] kreitech 2015-03-22 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[And he's already met up with Callaghan. Why not. Krei finds himself lifting a hand to rub at his temples at the mention of the man's name. Tadashi wouldn't know anything about the theft of the microbots or the destruction of the new campus, of course, and there's no telling what Callaghan may or may not have already told him. He'll no doubt try to make Alistair out to be the bad guy if he can.

Regardless, the issue at hand is Hiro. Krei shrugs lightly, nods.]


He was fine enough, last I saw him. Working on something. I can't say I appreciated being woken up in the middle of the night with all the noise coming from his room, but yes, he's okay.

[It took her just long enough to wordlessly mouth San Fransokyo? for her to remember, oh right, sounds needed to come out if he was supposed to understand her.]

I've seen him.

He's alright. A bit stressed out, I think, but he's not hurt.

[Oh, believe her, pal, you do not want her to use her words during a first encounter.]

Specifically? No. Last I saw him, he was doodling in the dirt out in the cold. I think he was muttering to himself, but I couldn't be sure.

You can always try the Midnight Hotel. That's where a lot of new arrivals are encouraged to stay. Until you get your bearings.

[Everyone gives visual descriptions, man. This is not helpful.]

What, no "where's the tech?" Or "what happens if I don't get home?"

Or even a good, "I'm on a turtle, what?!"

I'm kind of disappointed.

[In spite of the apparent trolling, he might be able to catch the wry smirk in her voice. She's indulging her boredom by playing with newbies, and they can be in the joke if they want.]
seismometrics: (hmm)

[personal profile] seismometrics 2015-03-26 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he was playing back. Much appreciated. She could get behind this. The corners of her eyes crinkle in a contained grin, though she keeps her tone deliberately casual, even thoughtful.]

That'd probably work. Some screaming and railing against humanity, too -- that'd be good.

Oh, I saw him! I saw him too. [But after jumping in with that, the messy-haired older teen on the screen seems to fizzle out a bit.] Well, it sounds like it's a little late to help... I couldn't tell you where he is now or anything, sorry. But he's got a big brother, huh? [He pauses.] I guess I can see it.

[Maybe the resemblance, definitely a certain kind of younger sibling's friggin' big man attitude... he thinks.]
windbreak: (that sure beat words)

[personal profile] windbreak 2015-03-25 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He might be out in public, but Yosuke can't hold back a snort of laughter.] You said it, man, not me! Though, heh, you're probably entitled. [It's kind of sweet, even. Oh yeah, with his best friend back home in mind, he's convinced he recognises this type, too.]

He did seem, uh, pretty well composed for a middle school kid. Unless it works different in... [...Now that he thinks about it, that is a funny name. It's like when cartoons put "Sony" TVs in the background so that they don't get eaten alive by Sany. Still, the guy can't help that if he's serious, so Yosuke doesn't prod at it beyond looking momentarily uncertain.] - I mean, where you're from. Or is he just like that?

[Sokka starts out actually a little bit concerned, though he gradually becomes (shockingly) less so as he keeps talking.]

Oh yeah, the kid that wanted me to sneak him into Stark Industries? Yeah, I guess I know him. He tried the whole polar puppy eyes thing on me. Didn't exactly work on me, of course, though I did offer him to come check out the construction projects around town.

I watched him as he downed three entire cups of coffee, one right after the other. I'm sure you'll find him passed out somewhere in the Hotel if he isn't still running around like a chicken with his head cut off somewhere.
