_{[ The feed clicks on and shows a kid appearing no older than 13 seated back in a chair, curled knuckles against his face. His eyes look tired and expression rather thin. He's wearing a uniform of some sort, though pieces of it look tattered or stained. One of his legs bounces in his seat (aren't his shorts cute?) but after a moment of mulling over what to say, he leans forward, hands folding together neatly. ]}

I already lack faith in gathering information from anyone here, and yet, here I am with inquiries. Serious responses only.

_{[ What could this boy possibly be asking for?? Where is the best place to get ice cream? Hardly so. ]}

Has anyone has ever even attempted hacking into any confidential files that could be in the government's system that operates here? Alternatively, if anyone has ever attempted to assassinate the Queen?

_{[ Oh.. what.. ]}

If not, is there any place on this goddamn planet that serves coffee? Decent coffee. Every place here is a shit hole.

_{[ That's it. No thanks for your time or anything. ]}

Surely that's plausible, alternate universe and all, different equipment and technology. Not a bad idea to look into, but I don't think I have much time for that.

More like I just want answers right from the source of this.. inconvenience. The pattern of arrival of new people, the way we're so coincidentally just the kind of energy this place needs seems too farfetched. I suspect our arrival here was planned instead of just something that keeps happening and covered up as a search and rescue on the other moons.

_{[ One of those.. conspiracy theorists. ]}

I was in the middle of something back home, and the prospect that time is just going on without me there makes it vitally important I try to get back there.

[infiltrar]

It was clearly the illuminati.

I'm joking in case you were wondering.

I have to tell you, as someone that could easily help you figure out all that information and more, I do not give a rat's ass about putting in any effort towards something I don't care about.

But I'm bored.

So by chance, by some possibility, I wanted to offer my assistance

what would be in it for me?

( TEXT, PRIVATE. )

[pubertytwice]

Depends on what you want.
I do my best to be fair.

So tell me what it is you want.

[infiltrar]

What I want can't be found here. But what you can give me is the ability to crack through walls that have never been touched. I don't like being kept in the dark.

When you're ready, tell me about yourself, and I'll tell you about me.

How does that sound, Abuelito?

[pubertytwice]

_{[ Abuelito, huh. He's flattered. ]}

Let me guess. Just like anyone worth my time, you don't want to tell me about yourself over the network and want to go to a bar or some other atypical sketchy place.

_{[ He's not against it, but he's wondering if she's different. ]}

[infiltrar]

I'm up for whatever you're up for, sir. Your call. It's only fair to make sure my potential new friend is comfortable.

[pubertytwice]

Potential friend.
Right.

Do you have a favorite place here?

[infiltrar]

"I'm an old mature sensible man I don't make friends." Blah blah okay scrooge whatever.

There's a library in the Lunar Scientia headquarters. That's where I've been starting off my work. Meet me there. I'm not hard to miss.

( TEXT → PERMA ACTION. )

[pubertytwice]

Not so much that as to be cautious to who to befriend.

_{[ Shut up, Five. It's absolutely that. He's not sure why that word is purple, but maybe it's her favorite color, and maybe 'miss' means she's a woman he's looking for. Five enjoys puzzles as much as the next person, but between Sombra and Hisoka, sometimes he wishes people would just cut to the chase.. kind of like what he did on the network just now. ]}

I hope you don't run late.

_{[ He'll show up there, though, and the second he enters the door, it's very obvious he's looking for somebody. ]}
