[ when the VIDEO feed starts, an extremely fair woman is shown, lips curled into an attractive smile for a moment, almost as if she were modeling for something-- but within an instant, the expression is turned into that of irritation, her free hand visible at the corner of the display, showing long, kept-nails but most importantly-- there's a chip

[ it's a lot to take in-- though, luckily, this person (surprisingly? maybe) seems to "get" her. now, the circumstances under which he does are rather displeasing-- well, sparse isn't the worse that could happen thankfully, but...ah.

yeah, she's just realized that every one of her belongings as well as her fortune is kind of...still...back there. how disgusting. how is she supposed to live here with only a supposed allowance? she isn't some scraggler living on the higher-ups, she's...

no TV? no radio? so, what, was this-- albeit expensive-looking-- device the only manner of... ]

Such charms don't seem to make up for what is lacking, in my mind. I suppose as long as the rooms are sparse rather than atrocious in their own right something can be done aesthetically, but really-- no television or radio? No transport?

[ sighing, she brings long nails up to the bridge of her nose, tapping it in displeasure. ]

How arcane.

[ this does pose a problem just as great as the obvious, though. with only the network (theoretically), how is she to gather followers for...? ]

[N was raised in an air-conditioned castle that was the size of a small city, and even though he was confined to a single room he still wasn't ignorant to the sheer mass of his domain. one of the few good things in his life was the fact that creature comforts were always, always available to him no matter how extravagant or impossible they seemed. he has a fucking half-pipe in his room, which was decorated in countless ways throughout his lifetime-- if his royal majesty wished for it, then it would be and that's all there was to it.

he feels junko. he really, really does. N was looking forward to watching tv too.]

It is rather primitive if I do say so myself... So long as we continue to worship, however, our quality of life should improve, so there is always that to look forward to as time goes on.

[ FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS . she'd been a little unsure about this odd boy(?) before, but now...now, she's found someone she wouldn't mind talking to. in a superficial sense, at least. ]

-- Ah. So the "hook" is shown, so-to-speak. I can see why those present here seem, more or less, complacent with the idea... this offers what appears to be a reward for obeying their commands, doesn't it?

[ a short, amused laugh. ]

It's almost endearing.

[it's okay...you're not the only person to question his sex... .___. whatever he is, he is beautiful okay.]

Many of us have been here for awhile, so it wouldn't surprise if you found that most people here seemed okay with acquiescing to such vulgar demands. Unfortunately, with no way to leave and little else but the network to occupy our time, there really isn't much else we can do in the form of resisting.

[a sigh.]

I'm not fond of it, personally, but the Twelve do not show themselves often you see...

[meaning complaining is out of the question.]

[royalvainglory]

[ oh no, he's certainly a boy-- but how old? that's the question, of course. not that she's seen him well. ]

I see. People reduced to their most primitive state.

[ sigh... she doesn't sound very pleased with that, but to be honest? there are much worse things to be (supposedly) forced to commit yourselves to. they could very easily be put into literal slavery, should these disgusting beings have wished it if they'd had the power to bring them here in the first place.

...now, that doesn't mean she likes the prospect. no, she hates it. it's demeaning, below her. but... ]

They don't? They'll have to make an exception, then, or at least expect to be questioned the moment they do.

I believe the ruling god should be changing soon. They usually make an announcement whenever that happens to alert us. If you find yourself inclined to do so, I suppose you could speak to them then, but as I said, they do not make a habit of answering questions.

[royalvainglory]

Is that so? I'll be sure to, then. At the very least they must accept a piece of my mind.

[ she pauses, unsure of whether she should...oh well, it doesn't hurt to be polite, once in awhile. ]

Thank you. I am relieved there are those here who share my concerns.

[ ...she means the more material things, but whatever. ]

I hope you are able to talk some sense into them. You seem more than capable.

[what a nice lady!!!! N likes her.]

You are most certainly welcome, Miss. I hope your adjustment to Zodion is as trouble-free as possible. I am N. Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

[royalvainglory]

I'll do my best-- and my best is just that.

[ ...the best, that is. come on, there's only so many lines she can use don't judge. while her nicety could certainly be contested, there's no doubt that this conversation has put N in her good graces. ]

Why, pleased to meet you..."N". My name is Junko Kurosu. I'm sure we'll speak again.
