[He took a few days to get himself composed, cleaned up, and acquire new clothes. What he'd arrived in had been stained with blood, after all. He couldn't wear that around. So now, as the video shows him sprawled on a couch (in a spacious apartment, though that's out of sight for now), he's dressed just like the locals in Crystalden. Bright, flashy clothes, glowing in places, but still comfortable-at least for him. It distracts somewhat from how unhealthy he looks-pale, with dark circles under his eyes. He hasn't been sleeping or eating much since arriving.]

Right. So what the fuck is this place and why the fuck are we all here? Kidnapping is a crime, especially when you're kidnapping someone like me. [Someone ~important~. Shhh, he doesn't know he's not important here, that no one knows who he is or gives a shit if he's famous. He hasn't gotten to figuring that part out yet.] I had...things I was doing-that I needed to do.

I don't want to fucking be here.

[Coming across as a spoiled brat? He kind of is. He's also been through some emotionally draining, really rough shit lately back home, before he got here, and it's made him even more irritable than he is when he's in a normal bad mood.]

[With all of the bar fights he's gotten into and all of the scars he's got, Dyme would be insulted to be considered weak.]

Yup. A lack of confidence won't get you very far, after all.

It's my time to waste though and I'm not forcing anyone else to sit around and listen to me, now am I?

[idiotdetective]

Over confidence will dig your own grave. [Personal experience, maybe?]

Look, I'm not here to lecture your dumb ass on what you should and shouldn't do, just a piece of advise to get over it and accept that you're stuck here.

[swansongs]

Guess that's true.

Not so easy to just get over it and accept being stuck here, though.

[Dyme doesn't usually accept things he doesn't like. Gets him in trouble a lot.]

[idiotdetective]

Yeah, I know. It's a bitch to get over. [It took him awhile too, the first time.]

It's just easier if you do, if it were easy to leave, a lot of people would have high tailed it by now.

[Not to say Yusuke wasn't going to go snooping around for any signs of escape.]

[swansongs]

So how long've you been here?

Yeah, guess so. Never hurts to ask if anyone knows anything about getting out of here though. [Because asking is better than sitting around, at least.]

[idiotdetective]

Few days.

Good luck with that. [He still needs to do some investigating himself.]

[swansongs]

Same here.

Could be worse, I guess. We could all be locked up or something. [Small plus that they're not.]

[idiotdetective]

True, but there's no telling it won't get worse.

If it's anything like the last place I was at, it'll surprise you with a few events.

[swansongs]

You been kidnapped before or something?

[idiotdetective]

Believe it or not, more places like this exist. I would be surprised if there were at least a dozen. Probably more. [That's his theory anyway.]

[swansongs]

Seriously?

[What's the big deal about kidnapping people, why can't people just be left alone? And not whisked off to strange places.]

[idiotdetective]

Seriously.
