[Oh look, it's the loud boy from yesterday... only this time he's wearing a (slightly) embarrassed grin and waving at the video pickup.]

Hello! I'm Gon Freecss! It's nice to meet you!

[--and bowing, deeply, for a second before he bounces back to vertical.] I'm really sorry I yelled at everybody yesterday! [And really glad everybody but Killua just heard him over the phone, so he didn't hurt anyone, because that would have been really bad...]

I understand about this place now, so don't worry. But I wanted to ask if anybody could tell me more. About the animals here, or the Animus, or anything!

Thank you very much.

[BOW.

Oh boy he hopes that makes up for it. He doesn't even know who that girl was who sounded really scared.... quickly, he grins at the video pickup, and cuts the feed.]

[Have a humorless smile.]

Then you'll see soon enough. Every other week, usually, the Animus inflict on us an event. The last one was a lot of traps set up around the city, and the one before that involved being forced to see the graves and deaths of people you care for.

That's awful. Why would they do that?

[taijiya]

Apparently, they're trapped here as well, and misery loves company. They are cruel for reasons unknown.

[He falls silent, thinking about that, expression growing more thunderous by the moment.]

Are you alright?

[Pause -- then he notices her talking and smiles.]

Yeah, I'm fine!

[Somebody ought to stop them.]

[Honey, everyone in Ads has been down that thought process.]

You looked... upset... for a moment.

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

Why would they do something like that without a reason?

[video]

[taijiya]

It's not like you can get a straight answer out of them.

[He's going to have to ask anyway.]

There has to be... some kind of reason, right? Even if it's just for fun.

[video]

[taijiya]

I don't doubt there's a reason. It's just unclear... and unknown whether or not it's a good one.

[freecssofnature.livejournal.com]

So, I want to talk to them.

[taijiya]

They make posts periodically, so you'll have a chance soon enough.

[Smiling. Good! -- He's planning to.]
