[Naoya's NV is...sitting on a table, pointed towards the living area of one of the starter apartments. Naoya himself isn't in view, at first, but for the sleeve of his haori. Finally, he speaks.]I suppose I'll save time this way. I'm sure there are those of you who would have me side with SERO or AGI--now is your chance to tell me why I should. Or

Well, I do like games.

[Found out that fast... that's impressive. Not many like this one. He sits in front of the NV, watching the feed carefully.]

[And Naoya turns his NV to face him, leaning on one hand and looking definitely amused.]

It's been a while since anyone kept me entertained, Ooe. But games are more interesting when something's at stake, right?

True indeed. It brings something new to the game.

So, Naoya... what is it you seek?

Power, but information's how I'm going to get it. And yourself?

[cursestained]

That's also an option, but I'd rather have the information for all options before choosing any of them.

[Naoya shifts some, his hand coming into few as he taps a couple of things on his NV's touch screen.]

What do you know about them so far? I've only just gotten here so I don't know much about them at all.

[cursestained]

Not much. I've not been here long, either.

Is there any particular reason you want someone else to convince you?

[cursestained]

I want the information they'd use in the pitch. While I intend to look myself as well, I'm interesting in what people are saying.

People say a lot of things. Most Newcomers choose to stay neutral because they don't like either of the company policies, but there's no denying it makes getting a job easier.

If you're still living in the Tower Apartments, I'm sure you've seen plenty of their advertisements around.

[ ... what why. ]

voice;

[cursestained]

That is true. But I like to know all my options, and I need information for that.

I don't believe in making decisions on half-truths and rumors.

[Neutrality has other benefits. But let's not get into it.]

[barebacking]

You should ally yourself with AGI.

Because then we'd be on the same side.

Voice.

[cursestained]

Ah, straight and to the point. How refreshing.

Voice.

[barebacking]

I see no reason to mince words.

And that is all that it comes down to for me.

Voice. Wait no false alarm.

[cursestained]

It's rather flattering...
