Day 30 - [Video]

[VIDEO]
[It’s been quite some time since his last post. When Atsuro shows up on the video, he’s wearing a pair of glasses to hide his yellow eyes. But it didn’t do much to hide the black markings on his skin. Despite it, he grins and wave.]

Hey, guys! I’ve been considering brushing up on my self-defence skills, so do you have any advice in general? If you need details, I’m used to unarmed combat and free-for-all, and most of my skills are self-taught.

[Which was a necessity back in the lockdown, and somewhat the truth.]

Basically...some pointers and maybe a teacher willing to spend some time with me? Preferably teachers in Goldenrod.

[FILTERED TO KAZUYA MINEGISHI:]
Kaz! How are your travels so far?

Tokyo, but there's a lockdown going on.

[It's strange. It's been so long since he was inside that barricade.]

Eh? A l, lockdown? Why?

[ she's not even sure... what that entails... ]

[babel_hacker]

Because a bunch of people started summoning demons, so the government's forced to contain them.

[There's more to it, but that's the simplified explanation.]

Oh, yeah, that would do it!

Ahahah... ha... ha............

[Wait for it, wait for it...There we go!]

[babel_hacker]

Yep, that's right!

[Atsuro, stop sounding so casual about this.]

[femininity]

But...

Why are there demons in Tokyo!?

video;

[babel_hacker]

People's been summoning them into the city, that's why.

[femininity]

But... you can't usually do that, can you? Maybe in movies, they draw circles on the ground and stuff but... that doesn't happen in real life!

I didn't believe it at first, but it's actually possible to summon them another way beside the traditional rituals. You just gotta convert the rituals into a program.

[femininity]

A program? [ blink. ] Like a tv show...?

[babel_hacker]

Nope, I mean a computer program. Sort of like...an app you can use on handheld consoles, like our PokeGears.

[femininity]

Oh! So kind of like a game... [ blink. ] Oh, but not a game I guess, since it was real. But that's pretty cool.

[ though wait... if that really happened, wouldn't it be seriously bad? ]

I mean... cool, but in a bad way.

[babel_hacker]

The programming itself is rather awesome. What's not awesome was when people get hurt.

[Or die.]

[femininity]

So you need to get stronger to protect others.

[babel_hacker]

Right...and that's why I want to keep my skills up.

[femininity]

Alright! Since it's for something so important... I'll give you my special training!

[babel_hacker]

Special training? [OH BOY?!] In that case, I'll work extra hard!

[femininity]

[ she'll just be making it up as she goes, half inspired by things she's seen in tv action shows... ]

Good! I'll make you strong enough to protect anyone!
