(video) a lil game moment

(manjiro comes into the camera, wearing his gang uniform with the words 'president' stitched, loud and proud. he sighs a little, but there's a smile on his lips before he speaks.)

I ain't into being strangers. Let's talk about ourselves with a single word and go from there. I'll start.

Motocyclist.

[a beat. is that a joke. such wondrous friendship. he'll leave it alone.]

Sculpture, then? Although one might insist that mechanical work is an art unto itself.

[invinciblemikey]

That we can agree. Gotta treat the bikes with love. The sound of engines is sweet.

You don't have any other interests?

[motifs]

I have myriad interests like anyone else, of course. I'm certain bikes are not your sole interest in life...

[he has loads of hobbies like going to eat samples at the grocery store.]

If you mean to inquire about my artistic pursuits, then visual art created with traditional media is my specialization, yes.

[invinciblemikey]

I meant literally everything else. What do you do other than art?

[motifs]

[crime.]

Well, I enjoy visiting museums. [no points for guessing what kind of museum!!] The wonders of the universe one can explore in the planetarium have also been particularly inspiring of late... Occasionally I come across an engaging book or DVD, as well.

So, plenty.

[invinciblemikey]

... How old are you?

[motifs]

Hm? Seventeen. Why?

[invinciblemikey]

You talk like you're 80.

[motifs]

I disagree.

Do you not like museums? I find them a good place to think.

[invinciblemikey]

I like the sea and the shrines.

[motifs]

Then you must understand me quite well! We merely gravitate towards different spots. To blend into the crowd and be at once left to one's own devices and surrounded by the lives of others...

[he just likes to zone out in museums, okay.]

There must be a reason you find yourself drawn to the sea and the shrines.

[invinciblemikey]

That's basically it.

[motifs]

I knew it. [smug,] To be honest, I'm inclined to be happy for you. There's nothing quite like that sense of inner peace, is there?

[invinciblemikey]

There is very little inner peace in my life, after all.

How long you been here?

[motifs]

Ah, I see. Then it is even more fortunate to have a sanctuary.

That aside, I've been here a number of days.

[invinciblemikey]

Like myself, then.

[motifs]

I suppose both of us will need to find a new sanctuary in this place.

[...,] I've been told some have been here to the degree of several months.

[invinciblemikey]

You can start an exposition or something.

I see.

[motifs]

If we're to remain here for an extended period of time, it's a possibility...

Are you concerned?

[invinciblemikey]

(partly sad, partly relieved. if he's here, he can't hurt anyone at home, can he?)

Not at all.

[motifs]

Really? How enviable.

[given that he's pointedly ignoring the whole criminal detainment aspect, he'd just rather be home with his art and the rest of his silly pals... alas. he doesn't want to think about it, so,]

Well, shall we play another round of your introductory game?

[invinciblemikey]

Yeah, go ahead.

[motifs]

Alright.

[......he doesn't have a word. this was a mistake. please hold while he stares vaguely into the middle distance for just a little bit too long--]

My second word shall be... Fox.

[invinciblemikey]

Fish.

[motifs]

You associate yourself with fish?

[is this another sea thing]
