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.

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.

[limbical]

I was mostly talking about your shirt. Your shoes were the least offensive part.

[even he liked the shoes how novel.....]

[coolerjunpei]

[Old man approval on the shoes...]

Well, I don't know how to tie a tie, so a suit would be stupid... That's not a kid thing, that's just— I don't really go to nice parties. Roland showed me once, but, you know.

[rip roland, couldn't get junpei to dress nice a second time]

[limbical]

I'm sure most grown men around here can show you how to tie a tie, Junpei.

[rip roland... he will continue to kin]

[coolerjunpei]

It's not a grown man thing!

[OLD MAN!!!]

Are you gonna help me for the next big fancy party, then?

[limbical]

Sure it is.

[RUDE!!]

If you ask, sure. I wouldn't mind.

[coolerjunpei]

[Well now it's the principle of the thing.





sigh.]

Fine, Daad. [just know he's saying it with the double A] Next time, I'll come and ask.

[limbical]

Ugh, don't call me that. I'll tie you a noose instead.

[coolerjunpei]

Basically what wearing a tie feels like...

[limbical]

Only if you're wearing it wrong. I like silk ties.

[please dont call him an old man because it's very old man behavior rn]

[coolerjunpei]

[honestly that seems more like horny behavior than old man behavior but he won't say that either]

I dunno, a suit's way too many little pieces for me. I can do layers... big, normal sized layers.

not in this conversation

[fussiest]

[ apparently all the old men in this log approved of the shoes.................... ]

never mind she's here now

[gripper]

You could've still put in the effort, Junpei, so I didn't look like I was going with my kid brother.

( Where's the RESPECT FOR HER )

Even a bow tie would've been less offensive... unless you don't know how to put on those either? Did you know ties come in a clip-on version?

[limbical]

Oh, they have clip-ons now? That's novel.

See, no excuses, Junpei. And the audacity to humiliate a lady. My word.

[gripper]

( you know doc you have her approval.

Thank you. At least someone's got sense around here...

[limbical]

May your next party be less embarrassing.

jumpscare....2!!

[coolerjunpei]

[jesus christ]

I think we're getting a little off topic from the documents. You know, how I found this great info after all this time... Nobody even threw me a "good job, Junpei."

maybe if he was nicer to his not-friend he wouldn't get piled on

[gripper]

Yes, yes, you did wonderfully, Junpei, truly.

















( and yet................... why does it sound so insincere.........................? )

[coolerjunpei]

[sigh.........]



I need another drink now.

[gripper]

Can you fetch me one? ( raising her hand to block out don quixote's inevitable face. ) I'm getting pretty thirsty, too.

[coolerjunpei]

[does he get another good job if he does.]

What kind do you want...

[gripper]

( yes. )

Whatever you're having is fine. I'm not a picky person.

( ? )
