[ The video clicks on to show Juudai, who looks particularly excited. ]

Hey, everybody! Just reporting in to say if any of you guys are around Mizusato, you should come by and visit me. I've got a job in the area, so I picked up a couple months' rent on this place - [ the camera swings around to... a pretty average-looking house, not far from a ( Read more... )

There's a few dozen, I'd guess.

And some of us have been here longer than the locals.

[ Why private, Matt? ]

Longer than the locals? How does that work?

[It's a reflex when he so much as obliquely refers to Mello, even though M's not here anymore to be annoyed by it.]

Not me, my best friend. He said they just showed up one day. Before that, when he first got here, nothing. But they think they've been here all along.

Who's this friend? Is he still here? How long ago was this?

[ Sorry for the rapid-fire questions, Matt, but Juudai's extremely interested in this. ]

So the people here who say they've been here for a long time have really only been here for a little while?

He's gone now, and it was, like-- [He pauses to think.] Three months ago, around the time I got here, that the locals were pretty new.

So no one's really been here a long time, far as I know, but the natives think they're, y'know. Natives, and that we're the invading masses or whatever.

That's so confusing...

[ Juudai is trying to think of a reason that an entire group of people would suddenly turn up and claim to all be natives of a world that isn't theirs - assuming the natives arrived in Kannagara the way the other-worlders did and still do - and all of the reasons he can think of are pretty bad.

Does that sound like the Light of Ruin to you? he asks Yubel internally.

A few, I think. Marco, for sure, maybe some others. There's kind of a high turnover rate.

[Which makes Matt a little nervous, knowing as he does that if he goes home, it's game over, insert coin, and he's out of that kind of change forever.]

Okay, I'll ask around another time. Thanks.

[ The turnover rate is concerning... but if Juudai can get to the bottom of this soon, he might be able to get everyone home for real this time. ]

Hey, why do you ask?

[It's starting to sound like more than simple curiosity.]

[ Not planning to broadcast any intentions of heroism so soon after the last dramatic failure - Juudai does have his pride - so: ]

Just to know, I guess.
