[ There's a silver-haired guy across the cell from York, looking vaguely interested in his story. He digs out his own Junogam and speaks into it, too lazy to raise his voice. ]
What's all this about ritual sacrifice on a harvest moon? That's not how those things usually work. It's all about tossing young brides into rivers to marry the gods and seppuku and whatever.
I don't suppose that's a lollipop you got there either, huh? Or that you'd have more?
( ooc | sorry for the notif spam! you saw nothing. fellow cellmate just cruisin' for some sugar. )
Oh? I can't say I've heard of that legend before. Zach, I think we need to broaden our horizons. Though, it certainly sounds interesting. True to life, even. I'm quite sure I've stumbled across a case or two like that.
[ a pause ] No, no. It's a cigarette. A real one, I mean. Not one of those candy cigarettes. Those were awful, weren't they, Zach? I'm afraid I don't have any candy on me.
[ IT'S ALL GOOD o/!! don't mind york. he's a little weird ]

I wouldn't really call it a legend. It's what people used to do in Japan to appease the gods around their villages, but you know how things went with the Amanto. Assuming we're still in Japan and not in outer space. Don't suppose you know anything about why we ended up here or where "here" is. huh? You are a cop, right?
Ahhhh. That's a shame, but thanks anyway. Doctor said I shouldn't eat so much sugar in the first place, but it helps me think too.
( ooc | kegng I see XD can others hear him talking... to himself, I'm guessing? )
Oh, it's a custom, then? I can't say I know too much about what goes on in The Land of the Rising Sun. But I'd certainly be interested to hear more.
[ he takes a long drag ] Sorry, I can't help you, there. Even though there are a number of Japanese people here, I can't confirm that we're actually in Japan. Could be a case of racial profiling. Wouldn't that just beat all?
Technically, I'm an FBI Agent. Francis York Morgan. [ a pause ] Please, just call me York. It's what everyone calls me.
At any rate, you should listen to your doctor. It can't be a good sign if you're so willing to go against his orders.
