network preamble

[Having come into some fascinating information, Junpei—

obsessively studies it for a solid day

—and then un: junpei posts something very short and simple to the network for once:]

hey, it's junpei. i'm in the 5th floor conference room in the district 2 building by the bowling alley if anybody wants to know some *big names* and read some pages that aren't half blacked out. you know, for fun.

i've got some chips too. come check it out if you want.

log part

[The conference room is all decked out for some frantic information sharing, or rather:

Junpei has hastily set out some snacks, that is: some bags of chips and a few soda bottles, mostly what he could grab as quickly as possible from the nearest convenience store. He's also tossed some pens and notepads kind of randomly onto the table.

On the wheely whiteboard he's pushed up to the end of the room, the head of the conference table, he's written in big ol' letters:

INFO CLUB MEETING
TAKE A DOCUMENT SHARE A DOCUMENT
IDEAS???

DON'T SPREAD IT AROUND TOO MUCH YET, WE MIGHT GET PHANTOM ARRESTED OR WHATEVER

The most orderly thing here is the stack of ✨✨Documents✨✨ up by the whiteboard. These, he has put in the effort to not make a frantic mess of. Welcome to the club.]

OOC: this is a mingle for the ✨plot clue✨ junpei has received and it is open to anyone who might be interested in the information! if you have cr with junpei or have talked to him even once about The Mysteries, you're welcome to handwave that he sent your character a personal cryptic text about something important, come see. otherwise, seeing his network message and showing up is just fine too.

One way to find out, right? See if you can even get it ringing or if you're completely blocked.

[dial that shit my man!!]

[coolerjunpei]

In the middle of my conspiracy party? Maybe later. I don't know what I'd say yet besides "fuck you" a bunch of times.

[and the mods didn't tell me if anything else would happen yet oop]

[abstractart]

-yeah, maybe don't go with that. I mean, fair, but you'd definitely get blocked then.

[coolerjunpei]

You don't think I could sell it as a charming quirk?

[ha ha ha] No, but I have to think about it. It's been six months, and I thought I had everything figured out that I'd want to say, but now we've got actual names and this one person's numbers and I've got... nothing that'll hold water.

[abstractart]

Sure, but it's something, right? And that means we could end up with more somethings after this, that might hold a little more water after all.

[coolerjunpei]

You're such an optimist. [this is a compliment.] Let's just hope it doesn't take another six months, at least. Maybe next time someone'll find, like, embarrassing pictures of Sumalee at the office holiday party, and we can just blackmail them...

[abstractart]

Am I?

[huh. he doesn't hear that one very often....]

You haven't had an office job, have you. Promise you if anything embarrassing happened at a party, they're already not living it down... nobody's got anything better to talk about in places like that.

[coolerjunpei]

[it sounds like optimism to him, buddy!! he just nods, like, obviously yes?]

Come on, office party pictures was my best idea. What would you want to find, then? Any secret info you can think of, what's the best kind?

[abstractart]

The best kind would probably be something like... evidence of them breaking regulations. Messing up their job. Anything they'd get fired or killed for, basically.

[he said what he said. ~life in the company~.]

[coolerjunpei]

[killed?????? bro]

So... leaving this document lying around, pretty much? There's no way it was on purpose. "Make lots of copies and throw them off the roof" is sounding like a pretty viable plan now...

[abstractart]

Yeah, probably something like exposing this information. I mean-- sure, we already had some idea something was up, but by some standards...?

If they were trying to observe us without telling us what we're participating in, then now that we have pretty much any detail, it's going to throw off their results. Can't trust it's good data that we aren't trying to skew on purpose, or that we're not just going to act differently because we know more. If they're stringent enough about it, a leak would make the whole experiment useless.
