[ The feed clicks on, with Yukari standing in the center, Fuuka and Junpei at her side. They hope this goes as well as when they practiced it... ]
H-hey, Vatheon. Fuuka and I were doing some shopping, and--
Have any of you guys been to the 'Viking Pool' just past the marketplace in the middle district?
[ There is a brief pause--
Before Fuuka chimes in.

A pool party, huh? I guess I could be down for that.
[Duncan!Translation: He is so down for that, despite that indifferent 'tude. Could be a good chance to just chill and forget about the crazy "I've-just-been-magically-abducted-by-a-giant-weedcoral" business]

Uh, what the heck is that he's carving anyway? She is kind of trying to look and see, though doesn't ask yet. ]
Yep! A pretty big one.
Should be fun! [ She hopes. ] What's your name?

Duncan. And hey, can't be worse than my last gig.
[And hey, a pool party without Courtney there to gripe and ruin it. Bonus!]

[ ...and then she is momentarily distracted from the carving by what he just said. ]
...What was your last gig?

Just some dumb reality show where we all had to perform a bunch of stupid challenges, most of 'em dangerous. One time we had to jump off this huge cliff into a safe zone in the water about the size of one of those above ground pools.
If we missed, we'd have to outswim the sharks our "host" had shipped in.
[Seriously, go to hell McLean.]

[ Okay, was not expecting that at all. ]
Uh, and you somehow survived all that?

[And now that he's done carving in little lightning bolts around the skull, voila, masterpiece complete! Only all of the trees left to go 8|]

[ Who would sign on for something like that? She guesses maybe it's one of those 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' moments.
She's looking at his carvings with interest now. How interesting. Since she's pretty much come to associate lightning/electricity with death. B( ...or at least. Her life being in danger. ]
Marking your territory there?

Tch, no, this is just a hobby. Trust me sweetheart, I decide to start marking things? You'll know.
[Everyone will know. Keep this kid away from anything that goes boom B| ]

I see. Well, I guess that's one way to pass the time. What're you carving, exactly?

[He'll just go ahead and pan the camera a bit, showing off the other half dozen trees he's carved up. Miscellaneous tough guy things of course, like a skull with a snake coming out the eyes, some guitars, that sorta thing. And one of Gwen, but he keeps that one mostly off camera because PFFF.]

She thinks of Chidori for a second, and the art club back at her high school. Staring, staring--
Pfffft is that a Dark Mark?
Guitars--hey, there was a music club back at Gekkoukan too, wasn't there?

W-woah. Was that...a person?

Tch, no. Why would it be?
[Aaaaand cue the tough guy front...]

[...:| She knows that she isn't wrong! It was definitely a person she saw.]
Come on, who was it?

I dunno what you're talkin' about, toots. Sounds like you've been cooped up in this stupid bubble too long.

If you say so. I guess I could always come see for myself.
[Looking smug as she shrugs! She knows her way around the city pretty well by now. Maybe she can even recognize where you are...
Smirk~]
