[bomberhat]

[ And here's the first unfortunate to stumble into the lobby not from the humble town of Inaba. His eyes are prickled with tears, he's got a retarded hunting hat on, and one of his gloves is off-- because that hand appears to be covered with blood and seems to have odd black grains mixed in, darkening it.

Good morning, Fujita, you still can't make a fucking door. ]

\o\~~~~~

[runandseek]

[staring this guy up and down- most notably at the blood-stained hands]

[he doesn't say anything for now. he's got his junogam on in his hands, with a flood of chaotic voices blipping through it.]

[bomberhat]

[ Fujita's just meandering about the room, in search of some kind of tissue... or maybe a phone. Not like he can call anyone. Hideouts don't have phones. He doesn't notice any eyes on him. ]

pretend i said "hand" 6_9 how does i reading comprehension

[runandseek]

[so Dojima breaks the silence first]

Are you-

...looking for something?

[The first part of the question is impulsive- but halfway, Dojima realizes he could've very well asked himself the same question. Why was he here?]

[What was he looking for?]

It's cool, it's cool

[bomberhat]

[ He turns to look at him. He's not thinking about his mask right away. But then it clicks and he yanks it off. ]

A phone. I need to er, call home.

[runandseek]

[Dojima's face twists a little at that childish request.]

No phones here. [slips his normal Japanese cellphone out of his pocket to show the young man, then tosses it on the bed next to him. "It's useless."]

Only thing I've found is this thing. [lifts the Junogam, still playing little voice clips- though Dojima's obviously tuned it out. It's almost equally as worthless, but it works.] You can't call home on it... it only goes to the "WillaKnet". [the very word itself is ridiculous to Dojima, and the way he says it says as much.]

...what happened to your hand?

[bomberhat]

... Well, if I can't... if there aren't phones, you wouldn't know where, uh, the Cross Eyes headquarters is? I have some, err, business! Yeah, business with them. Very important.

... Paper cut?

[runandseek]

"Cross Eyes"? [...flips the Junogam shut then just- sighs, rubbing his mouth, considering his options, here.]

Here, let's get you cleaned up at least. [Dream or no dream, Dojima wasn't about to leave the kid alone. And if he was going to wander around in this crazy place for a few hours, he might as well go with some sort of purpose.]

[Dojima gathers what few possessions he has with him from his bed, then slings his jacket over his shoulder like a total badass.]

Bathroom's over there.

[bomberhat]

Yeah... you know, the Cross Eyes. They've been running things for a while now. [ Though he suddenly looks pretty displeased about even having to say that. En's family should be running things, but those bastards... Nope, don't blow your cover. He forces a grin back on. ]

Ah, thanks, Mister. [ He adjusts his backpack and heads over towards the door. ]

I wonder if I packed any bandages...

[runandseek]

[He leans on the wall outside the bathroom. As much as he'd like to (to at least get an idea of what caused that wound) he doesn't follow in.]

...where're you from? [he has a feeling that's a more important question than "What the hell is Cross Eyes?"]

[bomberhat]

[ He starts washing his hand down, frowning. For once, there's smoke in his blood and he can't even use it. He curses under his breath until he's questioned. ]

Magic User World... not that it's much different from Hole right now. It's gone to hell, might as well just call it 'Shithole 2'.

[runandseek]

[Dojima doesn't even hide his incredulous laugh.]

Magic User World? ...well, makes about as much sense as anything else here. I suppose you're going to tell me you have a Persona now, too?

[bomberhat]

[ He looks at him, confused. ]

A what?

[runandseek]

How's your hand?

[bomberhat]

Not too bad. It probably stopped bleeding a little bit ago. It's just sore, now.

\o\

[adachy]

[ now there's a guy who looks like he's in pretty bad shape. he could use a bandage and a bath, and if adachi can tell that just by glancing at him from afar, who knows what else this guy needs?

adachi watches him for a moment and can't really take his mind off how gross that hand looks. he's seen some nasty injuries in his time on the force but goddamn, that isn't sanitary. he finally turns to fujita, hands shoved in his pockets and frowning. ]

Uhhhh, you should probably go wash that off. [ and he points at fujita's bloodied hand. ]
