[ Here is Ritsuka, wearing a hoodie over his head (to hide his cat ears) even though it's sunny outside. He seems to be hanging out in a park. ]Hey... is anyone else thinking about going to that AGI thing next week? It's probably not a good idea to go alone, but there's free food and stuff, and it might be fun

/PINGED by that last bit.

Make memories?

Yeah. I was thinking about going. It's smart to go, with so much free stuff.

[little_bandages]

Yeah. You know, just spend time and laugh and take a few pictures, maybe.

I'm still not sure we can really trust these people, but they're probably not going to do anything bad to us if there's a crowd, y'know?

I'm Ritsuka, by the way. Ritsuka Aoyagi.

Sounds like you could do a lot of that, with all the things planned. I have to check on my schedule and see the hours I'm not working, when I can go.

Not unless they do something all at once, but if AGI blew up their own big promoted party, they'd probably get in trouble for it.

I'm...um. At my job they call me Joe, but that's not the name I want to keep for my own.

[little_bandages]

And since it's AGI that's throwing it, it'll probably be pretty well-protected against attacks like that.

...You don't have a name?

Free food? Hell yeah, I'm in.

What's AGI?

[little_bandages]

AGI is one of the companies that competes for control of the city. They're really powerful and influential, and we don't quite know there motives but... well. All the more reason to see what they're about, really.

Really now? This place is starting to sound more interesting than I thought~ You said one of. Who are the others?

[ sourly ]

Interesting isn't the word I'd use for it.

The other company's called SERO.

[He doesn't trust that AGI shit, but he knows how tempting free food can be.]

I don't mean to put you down, but someone like you probably -- shouldn't attend. Especially not by yourself.

[ Oh hi, gruff kinda-scary-but-nice-guy. He's happy to see you... at least at first, then he looks annoyed. There's a little bit of movement beneath his hood where his ears are laying flat. ]

I'm not gonna go by myself. I thought it might be a good idea to go with a few others and check it out.

[heavendivided]

Even then it might not be the wisest idea. You shouldn't trust those companies at all; AGI'll just try to lull you in and make you sign one of their slave contracts, I bet.

[little_bandages]

[ huffing ] Do you think I'm stupid or something? I'm not going to do anything like that!

I hate that kind of thing!

[masking]

What's an AGI?

[little_bandages]

It's one of the major companies in the city. They're often in the newspaper.

[masking]

Ehh. There's gotta be a catch to all the free food 'n shit then.

[little_bandages]

That's probably true. It's pretty clear they want to win us over to their side anyway. But no one's saying we have to pick a side, and we know if those guys run it, it's probably not gonna be attacked by the anti-native terrorists.

[crawdads]

I think I'm gonna go! Who the hell's gonna pass up free food?

... Makin' memories?

video;

[little_bandages]

That's what I thought, too. And who knows, maybe the band will be good.

[ pause ]

Making memories, when you laugh with your friends and stuff and take pictures so you can't forget.

[crawdads]

[ ... aw. aw that was cute. ]

I wouldn't mind doin' sum'n like that. Sounds fun!

[little_bandages]

Okay! Once I figure out how many people are coming, I was figuring we could set a time and place and all go to the carnival together. [ That's usually how his friends did it, come to think of it. ]

What's your name, anyway? I'm Ritsuka. Ritsuka Aoyagi.
