bravenewworld | Fifth Snapshot [Video]

[Hayato is an oddly somber individual when he turns on the feed. His expression is calm but serious when he finally speaks.]

So, with the upcoming fight, I just wanted to wish everyone luck. If we can pull this off-- and I know we will-- there's going to be a whole city of people that are going to have their lives and freedom back.

That said... I know Union is a pretty peaceful town. While it's admirable you guys have done so well by not resorting to violence, and I mean that, I do, don't forget that ...this is very much a war. Gigas isn't going to care about a thing like that. They'll shoot to kill, and if they take you alive.

Well.

Hope that they don't.

That's ...all I really wanted to say. I want to see everyone one of you make it back here. I don't want a single person landing on an MIA list, I mean it.

[And he does. His expression is much more grave this time. He likes this place and he likes the people and he doesn't want to see another body count. He ends the feed.]

[Locked to Mission Eight.]

[His drops the grave expression for something much more resembling a smile.]

Ah, Hey! Everyone assigned to Mission Eight! We should talk or get together before we set out. I don't know some of you very well and we should change that if we're going to be relying on each other to watch our backs.

If you don't already know who I am, my name's Hayato Ichimonji. Nice to meet you.

You know the same goes for you too, right? I said this already, but... No MIA lists for you, either.

[Oooh no. He puts on a hopefully reassuring smile.]

And like I said earlier, I won't let them get their hands on me again, okay?

[She smiles, nodding.]

You'd better not. I'll have a big welcome waiting when you get back.

Don't worry, Hayato. Pretty sure we're all gonna make it and free Sanctuary. [He taps the side of his head with one finger.] I got the Image in my head already.

[He's not surprised by that attitude. Right's a good kid but he's one of the ones he's worried the most about. He offers a smile.]

Keep that image in your head until you can see it with your own eyes. What mission did you end up on?

I will! [He nods in agreement.]

And I'm gonna help free the Council of the Magi with Rise and a few others.

Mister Ichimonji? You're going off to fight too, right?

[A small smile for Sanae. He nods.]

That's right. This is a very important fight and you could say it has a very personal importance to me.

Personal importance? What kind?

Video.

[He's quiet for a long time, narrowing his eyes and tilting his head in an unreadable expression. And then it's something like a smile as he smooths the thumb of his prosthetic arm against his lower lip.]

Sometimes humans do say good things.

[Well then. He can't help but snort.]

Oh? Well, I'm glad someone thinks so.

[He mostly ignores that.]

Which mission are you heading on?

You know me unfortunately well, though.

[A cheeky grin.]

Man, you're not kidding. It's like I'm never going to get rid of you.

[He's obviously kidding. He's glad Taki's going on this mission.]

You think I'd let you off that easily? Therein lies your biggest mistake, my friend.

I hope you know me well enough to trust me at your back.

[He almost shoots back something joking and sarcastic but he can't quite do it right now. He just smiles and nods.]

I'm pretty sure I know I can count on you to not Aurora Beam me in the back on this mission.

[Okay, maybe there is a little humor in him. Just a little.]

My aim is better than yours, Hayato.

[She smirks at him, quite happy.]

Who else is coming?

[Gordon smiles at that.]

The same goes for you, son. I don't want any of you kids getting hurt.

[Leave it to Gordon to look at Hayato and call him a 'Kid.']

[Then, to the locked section.]

Jim Gordon. You can call me Jim, or Gordon, or Gordon-san, whatever's most comfortable for you. I'm already acquainted with most of our team, I think, or at least aware of them, but getting to know one another a little better certainly wouldn't hurt.

[It's been a while since someone's called him Kid. He'll let it slide since you're an older guy. He just kind of gives him a grin and switches over to the locked part.]

Nice to meet you Mr. Gordon. And I agree. I'll admit that I'm probably the least familiar with our team since I've only been in town for a few months. What kind of background do you have?

Been with the Swords since...

[He considers the younger man for a moment.]

Probably before you were born. Pretty new to the training thing, only started the last time we had to go help out someone against Gigas. I've never exactly organized a jailbreak before, and this will be my first time on anything resembling the front lines, but don't let my age fool you, I can take care of myself.

And you. Do not let me find your name on there again.

[Vaguely sheepish grin here.]

You won't. That's a promise.

[Have a kid.]

That's what usually happens in war. You have to kill your enemy before they come up with some trick that will kill you. Holding back won't get you anything except dead.

[...He seems far too cheerful for the subject matter.]

Chie Satonaka, reporting for duty!

[She gives a salute and a big enthusiastic smile.]
