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.

Comments

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.

( ? )

[coolerjunpei]

So you're cool with, say, room temperature tap water.

[girlie do not entrap him like this.]

[gripper]

( oh..........? )

Is that what you're thirsting for right now, or are you just trying to get on my nerves?

[coolerjunpei]

You got me. I'm dying for whatever shitty tap is in the bathroom here.

[...........] Obviously I'm trying to get you to tell me what kind of drink you want.

[gripper]

( boy why do you care so much. are you against matching? is that it? this that i )

Did you grab any iced coffee?

[coolerjunpei]

[honestly.......kind of]

Uh... no. I got soda. Daan brought a pocket bar, it looks like. I can ask around.

[gripper]

( when they have their matching nail phone accessories....??? )

...Man, you really are... ( ... ) Nah, it's fine. I'm gonna go get some room-temperature tap water.

( help )

[coolerjunpei]

[oh are those matching too. help him]

Are you sure you don't want soda? I just don't want room temperature tap water to suddenly be my fault.

[gripper]

( i decided they are now. )

I don't like soda. It's too sweet, too sticky when it gets on you, and tastes disgusting when it gets warm. I'll be fine with water.

[coolerjunpei]

[why didn't she just sAY THAT ABOUT THE WA okay fine]

Fine. I'll go see if there are any water bottles.

[shut up shut UP he's turning and walking away to do this before she can say something Else to him!!]

[gripper]

( WHY IS HE MAD!!!!!!!!!! oh my god he's like the girlfriend she never fucking asked for.

she will wait patiently, thank you. )

[coolerjunpei]

[HE'S NOT MAD!!!! no just kidding he is a little mad about this whole suit and tie bullying incident.


anyway he'll be back with. water cooler water. it's at least chilled. he did have to put it in a red solo cup though. he has slightly flat soda, for himself.]

Here, plain water.

[gripper]

Thanks.

( which sounds more sincere than her good job to him before? his slightly flat soda gets a look, like, my dude...... well, she won't audibly judge his tastes. )

You did do a good job though. ( a wave of her cup. casual. ) Why do you think I always put the responsibility of dragging everyone together on you for this kind of thing?

( because she used to have major detractors. she still does but, well, it's mildly okay now. they've mostly reached an understanding. )

[coolerjunpei]

Hmm. You're welcome.

[he's going to drink his flat soda and like it, thanks!! it seems to be break time from theorycrafting, so excuse him, he's going to perch on the conference table instead of sitting in a chair and risking wiping out again.]

And I just figured you didn't feel like doing it...

[gripper]

I love bringing people together!

( in a sense. )

But really, I feel more at home on the field... you know what I mean? Rather than getting stuck in stuffy office buildings, or dealing with whoever's further up the line than me. I didn't even like school that much. ( skipped class or didn't participate more than she had to, broke into people's houses after being invited in like a vampire, so-on so-forth... ) Most of my time at work's traveling, purifying and consecrating land, all of that.

[coolerjunpei]

[does she though.jpg]

I... don't, not really. I hate field work. [some of them Don't like seeing viscera on the regular, go figure.] Not that I really like desk work, either... And I quit school...

[COUGH well, here's a Great subject change,] You know, I don't think I ever asked you what your job actually is.
