video ☠️☠️☠️ MTC IN THE BUILDING

[coasts]

[ It is time again for Samatoki to grace everyone's feeds with his stupid face. This post, however, does not start with it right away! In fact, it starts off with music, a chill guitar beat that goes on for a few bars. The video that goes along with it shows various roads and streets and other stock photos and videos of the city of Yokohama. Eventually, the rapping starts— Samatoki's voice cool and calm—until the chorus where Jyuto and Riou join him.

When the song "ends", the video shifts to Samatoki's face being way too close to the camera. He's still adjusting it! Once he's got that done, he moves to sit back on the couch where Jyuto and Riou are seated. ]

Yo, Lunatia. This is Mad Trigger Crew, representin' Yokohama. We ain't just a group of rappers; with our Hypnosis Mics, we fight for our lives and for territory.

The name's Mr.Hardcore, Samatoki Aohitsugi, [ Then he elbows Jyuto to introduce himself. Go on, bunny cop!! Jyuto doesn’t outwardly react to physical contact and only instead takes his cue to politely smile at the camera. He elegantly lifts a hand. ]

Sergeant of Yokohama's Organized Crime Control Department, Jyuto Iruma, aka 45 Rabbit. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[ And lastly, ]

I’m Crazy M.

[ Riou, who has been staying quiet in the background, simply says this. He’s not really the talkative type unless you get him drunk or it’s about something he’s enthusiastic about. ]

We're gonna be here for a while. Ask us anythin'.

[ The video ends. ASK THEM ANYTHING!!! ]

I enjoy smoking by the bay, visiting antique shops or museums, and sampling specialty foods at various restaurants.
[ He also likes getting paid and being spicy in front of prisoners outside their jail cells. ]

[poopio]

Fascinating. Did you enjoy our recent visit to the Prismal's exhibit gallery?
I was hoping to see more, yet it was difficult to escape the Prismals' enthusiasm.
They were quite overwhelming.

[ A shame too. He heard the Hall of Lovers was particularly good from the reviews of those who came out of the tunnel, looking to be completely submerged in bliss. ]

[inthebuilding]

I hadn't the chance to see it for myself, unfortunately.
As a moon knight, I was interested but too preoccupied playing role of security guard.
Maybe next time.
Was it too crowded when you went? I did hear something about it flooding, but I wasn't on shift when the incident occurred.

[poopio]

Neither was I present. I had only happened upon it for the opening.
I hope it was not permanently destroyed, but love -I am told- makes many behave strange and irrationally.

I do plan on returning for another visit. You are most welcome to join when you are no longer occupied.

[inthebuilding]

How generous of you to invite me. So long as I wouldn’t be intruding?
You give an impression that you’d be as interested as I am in an exhibit, so I’d be happy to join you if your invitation actually stands. Naturally, I won’t be offended if it doesn’t. I’m plenty guilty of going through the motions of being hospitable when I’m actually too lazy to be such.
Don’t force yourself unnecessarily.

[poopio]

I would never consider it intrusive.
I have few options for companionship on these exploratory ventures. My captain departed quite recently, and the remaining crew members
have other own preoccupations.
You can say I am a bit of a wanderer.

Ah, I suppose I should introduce myself.
Please call me Lucio.

[inthebuilding]

Lucio, then. 
As was mentioned earlier in the video, I’m Jyuto.
[ Lucio is a foreign enough name… he won’t ask him to call him by last name. ]
I’ll enclose an email address where you can contact me to arrange a future date.
Before the exhibit ends, I’ll be sure to let you know days when I’m available to stop by the museum.
How does that sound?

[poopio]

Rather delightful.
I believe the skyfarers call it a date or an outing.
It will be first time attending.
Regardless of the terms, I look forward to it, Jyuto.

Shall I bring something for you as is customary?

[inthebuilding]

There’s no need, let’s keep it casual.

I’ll update you with contact information as soon as we’re finished up at the studio we’ve rented for this ask all event.

[poopio]

That is a question I neglected to ask at first.
What is the purpose of such an event?

This would be my first time attending an ask-all as well.

[inthebuilding]

I suppose it's to build good rapport with our community.
We'll be up against another rap group in a battle soon, so it'd be nice to have an audience attend.

[poopio]

Rap group? Much like a theater troupe?
Is "rap" short for anything?
Please forgive the onslaught of questions, though I suppose it is in the spirit of the event.

[inthebuilding]

It's a genre of music.
I assume you come from a world or time that doesn't have access to it, if you don't know it simply by the word.
Simply put, the best way for me to describe it is dynamic and rhythmic speaking to a beat. There's less emphasis on pitch or singing technique like other kinds of music.

[poopio]

Even so, it is not quite so unheard of.
Many forms of theatre set narration to music.

Will you and your friends be performing any time soon? I would like to attend.
In return, I can grant you three front row tickets to our next performance in the park,
entitled "Ouch! That Doesn't Go There!: A Tale of Great Woe and Excessive Bleeding"

[inthebuilding]

Our nearest event would likely be the battle I mentioned. 
It’ll certainly be a show, but maybe not too similar in the audience where people may be moving around a lot. I’d be delighted if you choose to attend, but please be careful because we’re still not quite sure how energetic the crowd is going to be here. They might not pay the people around them as much mind as they should.

Are you in a theatre troupe?

[ That… title. Is a lot. But Jyuto is too polite to verbalize his judgement. ]

[poopio]

You need not worry about me.
I have learned how to navigate the many crowds in the skydom and how to, as some say, "give them the slip."

And yes, I am. A stage actor and storyteller.
Our modest troupe often performs outdoors in public spaces.
I promise our play shall be educational.

[ And who doesn't like learning about proper safety protocols when moonlacing? ]
