Dream ☳ 02 | [Anonymous] - alone at dawn in the city

[suzumenet]

Dream Effects: The feeling of being lost in a sea of people and being content about it - yet a slight streak of bitterness that you're not part of them, before feeling like the center of the world. The feeling of a child getting praise from their school teacher for work well done, the feeling of seeing a spiral flower on your page.
Warnings: None

[video / hacked]

How cute.

[Had Hornet checked the encryption lines, he would have noticed the hacking - but having operated with no interference for the better part of 2 months, the option that his security might have been compromised didn't even occur to him. As far as he's concerned, at the moment, he's still "Hornet", not "Fujishiro Souta".]

And what's cute?

[video forever]

[declinant]

To be so attached.

[There is a long pause, before:]

I don't know what you mean.

[video]

[declinant]

Keep on telling yourself that, Souta dear.

[Had it been video, the feed would have shown his fingers freezing over the keys.

How...

Who...?

Yet, on the other hand:]

Haha, how interesting!

And who are you, I wonder?

[Not like, you know, the names are displayed or anything.]

[video / private / extremely hard to hack]

[declinant]

[Rosiel laughs, and pillows his chin on a palm.]

I'm sure you can find it out yourself, little one.

[text] | Apparently it's nigh impossible to capture video/voice convos anyway o\

[suzumenet]

Ah, but who exactly are you? I think that's a very interesting question~

[video] | yep, but Rosiel just wants to show off, lulz >:

[declinant]

[moments later, there's a file transfer:

Angel wants to transfer angelsanc.exe
Continue?]

[Text] | ...show-off XD

[suzumenet]

And what's this~?

[/brb transferring anyway and running virus/bug/malware/worm/etc scans \o/]

[video] | he just wants to be friends >:

[declinant]

[it's just a clean mmo installer >: but the farther he progresses, the more it would seem familiar.

somarium-familiar.

he's just showing off.]

Maybe you'll find me there!

[Text] | But he doesn't =P

[suzumenet]

[...

his next response comes a while later, as he runs the .exe file, and -

This Rosiel person, they could be a real threat. No, not a threat. Simply...

Another hacker.]

And what if I don't want to? It seems too troublesome.

[Lies, he's going to go through it anyway.]

[video] | why you do this >:

[declinant]

Then your curiousity will have to remain unsatisfied, then!

[He giggles, before typing in a steady stream of code, lifting the filter he'd placed on the call earlier.]

[Voice]

[suzumenet]

[There is a moment before it switches to voice - but the voice that speaks is clearly synthesized, a computerized child's voice.]

It seems like this is the only choice.

I wonder if there isn't something more direct.

[This time, he sees. It'd taken him a moment due mostly to a degree of unfamiliarity with the environment, but Hornet watched as the filter was lifted.

No, not just another hacker... It would be dangerous to think of this person as just another hacker.]
