I don’t mind being bumped into, but it’d be nice to see your face first, instead of the back of your head! Haha.

Oh, this game’s known for being loud. It’s a rhythm game, so the music has to be loud. We actually have a version of this game in the states! It has a translated name, though. I don’t know what it’s called in Japan!

[ignistitium-blog]

Hmm, really? To be honest, I don’t like rhythm games. They’re kinda stressful! Strategy games are my forte.

[ He catches Cato, his hands on both of Cato’s arms. He seems amused that, yet again, Cato bumped into him. ]

Must we always meet like this?

[ He laughs, and lets go of Cato, letting him turn around. ]

Are you okay? You got really spooked!

[ignistitium-blog]

[ Noticing that it was Tucker behind him made him relieved, yet slightly flustered by their second meeting being similar to the first. ]

I suppose so, yes...! Let’s try to not make it happen every time, though...

Maybe....but i-i’ll be fine! It’s just a machine. I think.

[ignistitium-blog]

[ Supposedly alone, Cato was taking his time to view the arcade that the park had held. The loud sounds that it made were scary, but...nobody else was here. It would have to do. He needed a way to keep himself busy. ]

Hmmm....

[ He pressed a button on a quieter machine before him, seeing if it worked. The machine reacted in a roar, suddenly blaring music and making Cato almost squeak in surprise, falling backwards and into a person behind him. ]

O-Oh....! I’m....sorry....I--didn’t see you there...!

So if I found you a map of this place, you could potentially find a way out?

[ignistitium-blog]

Yeah! As long as it’s detailed enough.

[turbodl-blog]

You all miss your old lives, right? I bet mom and dad are missing you too! Maybe you should just kill someone already! Then, you can see them again!

No? Not enough for some of you? I’ll give all of you something you really want if someone kills someone else! Caught or not! Promise! You can have anything! 100 billion yen! John Stamos’ nudes! Anything!

[ignistitium-blog]

Could…you give me some self-confidence? My will to live? I’ve…lost those for a while, now…

[turbodl-blog]

Sure, if I can find them! I think they’re really tiny.

[ignistitium-blog]

Yeah, that sounds about right...Good luck.

[slakcul-blog]

Spurling, right? You’re Super High School Level…? What? Maybe it’ll help.

[ignistitium-blog]

Tactician! Y’know, strategy, and stuff...? More for games or war, but...?

[ahtlete-blog]

when you’re dying inside but you want to cheer up everyone else

[ahtlete-blog]

Nobody’s going to get killed in broad daylight, surrounded by witnesses! You’re safe, Cato!

I’ll make sure of that!

[ignistitium-blog]

Thank you, si- Tucker...! This...means a lot to me...

[slakcul-blog]

Yeah, nice to meet you too.

If you don’t trust anyone else, how do you expect people to trust you? Maybe it’s stupid, but it’ll keep morale high.

[ignistitium-blog]

That’s true! Perhaps that is our best choice for now.

            If you can’t stop crying, then you should just leave. It would be beneficial for the both of us. You would stop wasting my time, and, well… I’m not sure what you’d gain from it. Figure that part out yourself.

[ignistitium-blog]

O...Okay.....

Again, i’m sorry for bothering you....

[ He wipes away a tear and quietly slinks away. ]

[ahtlete-blog]

Ha, I know the feeling. But at least you’re not trying to run and hide now!

[ignistitium-blog]

Well, I mean....Running away is sometimes the best strategy. When you know that you’re going to lose, there isn’t any point in losing more than needed...

[avi8tions-blog]

I’m Jess! It’s real nice to meet you, Cato! That’s a cool name. Not Japanese, though…?

[ignistitium-blog]

Ah, thank you...! But, nah, i’m pretty sure it’s Roman.

( he watches the smaller boy try to dart away from the group and takes it upon himself to interject. he really didn’t care all that much about what this kid did, but considering the circumstances. he might as well give it a little shot and try to contain the situation. if he didn’t listen to him the first time, he didn’t listen to him.. standing in front of him –not actually too much bigger than the other– he folds his arms and speaks. )

…It’s best if we stay together right now, if we can come to the consensus that nobody’s gonna kill someone else, we’ll be fine.

I’m Eto Shunji, if that makes it easier for you to trust me. Go ahead and call me Shunji, too. I really don’t care.

[ignistitium-blog]

I’m...not sure...that everyone here is very honest. Eventually there will be at least one changed mind...

...But, um...I’m Cato Spurling...! It’s nice to meet you....
