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.

Junpei.

I'm no older than 29, thank you very much.

[coolerjunpei]

What? Actually? No way. I mean, you dress like that and everything...

[18... is he a child..... nyeh nyeh old man (he is a child)]

[limbical]

This is considered highly fashionable in Rondon. Besides, if we're going to judge based on clothing alone, then I could have pegged you for much younger, couldn't I?

[coolerjunpei]

How? I'm dressed like a normal 23-year-old dude.

[He is not even wearing the World's Sluttiest Dad sweatshirt today.



but he has worn in it public before. better or worse than tuxedo shirt.]

[limbical]

Not from where I'm standing. And how I saw you dressed at the party as well. However did Lestat let you get away with that, I wonder.

[coolerjunpei]

I'm not very tall, in everyone else's defense.

[At certain angles... he disappeared behind Kromer... this is the truth.]

And my shoes were a big hit, actually.

actually, he's Right Here

[fussiest]

- wait, Daan, you're older than I am?

[limbical]

How old did you think I was? Actually, no, I don't want to know that.

[fussiest]

Look. I didn't want to think someone who was younger than I am somehow had an ounce of sense that I didn't have! But I didn't complain.

[limbical]

You seem like you're complaining right now.

[fussiest]

Well, now I've more reason to! I still can't believe you're older. What's the world coming to. Soon, you'll tell me that you're not a licensed practitioner of medicine and you're simply as good as you are from sheer skill and experience.

wait, her too

[icanfixer]

[ hold on ]

Young Kaveh, how old are thee?

[ 1/2 ] help

[fussiest]

Oh, twenty-eight, as of this year.

[ 2/2 ]

[fussiest]

[ ... wait. ]

... that 'young' moniker of yours, you didn't actually mean it. Did you?

1/2

[icanfixer]

[ oh................................ ]

2/2

[icanfixer]

N-Nay. Thy manner is, ehm, just quite similar to a well-off young master's, hence-- hence the young! It is the same as Young Sinclair, though... he is the youngest among us as well, as it happens...

[ .......................................... ]

Kehm. That is all.

[fussiest]

Don! [ HELP. ] At least if you are going to lie to spare my feelings, lie better!

[justscribing]

You didn't already think he was older than you?

[Even if it's like a year at most. That's So Important to Kaveh.]

[limbical]

I'm even just estimating since we're at the end of the year and it's been about six months since I've been here. So, logically, I'm probably 29 by now.

[look he doesn't actually know when his birthday is, so...]

[justscribing]

That's right, some of us are experiencing incongruencies with the calendar from our home and this one. There's a discrepancy of a little over a month for me.

[limbical]

It was September when I was in Prehevil, so about two months or so for me.

[fussiest]

- logically. So you don't know? [ ... ] When is your birthday, or are you not certain, Daan?

[limbical]

...Do you really think I would know that?

[Daan folds his arms, glancing away. The sandwiches suddenly look very interesting.

Quietly, he adds:]

My parents never bothered to tell me.

[fussiest]

Of course I didn't! I was under the impression that he was in his early to mid-twenties. Don't ask me why. Wait, how old did you think he was?

[justscribing]

Mid-thirties.

[He could have been more off.]
