That's just AGI stirring shit. You seriously think I'd let anybody mess with you?

[inthejunk]

[It's a good thing you can't see his face over the phone, dude.]

...Uh. Did I get the wrong number?

[hostage]

What? You don't think I got your back?

[inthejunk]

Of course not. I can't think of a single reason you would. I mean, you're probably just trying to hand me over to some mad scientists right now. It's the only thing that makes sense.

[hostage]

[Wow. He's actually really hurt by that. So much so that he doesn't know what to say.]

[inthejunk]

[Except to Yosuke the silence sounds more like "whoops, caught" or something. He's trying to think of a good excuse to not hand himself over to SERO as a guinea pig, but the NV slips out of his grip somehow. Through his fingers? Shit...]

Shit!

[Thunk, thump, thud. Sup dude, you're on the floor now.]

[hostage]

[Still not saying anything. He's looking at his NV and wondering if he should just hang up, or play off the whole SERO thing as a joke, or...]

[inthejunk]

[Irritated grunting, though eventually he manages to pick the damned thing up again. Great, he either is actually not solid all of the time, or he's completely losing his shit.

Ulp.]

...Fine. But if they cut me up into fish bait for the giant squid or something I'm definitely going to haunt you.

[hostage]

Forget it.

[inthejunk]

A change of heart? Hmm. Maybe you're getting soft now that you have responsibilities. Since it's good news for me this time, I'm not complaining.

[hostage]

Whatever.

[He hangs up after all.]

[inthejunk]

[Huh? A dial tone? What, does that guy really have his panties in a twist so bad?

Still, maybe he wasn't wrong about everything. If there's anyone who knows about the core it must be those guys, right?

Hmm...]
