( as always, he's trying to make this as short as possible, but it's hard to even know where to stop with the way his voice carries into the charm. it's likely going to come out all wrong, but: he figures it's like posting something on the notice board in the slums. no one's going to listen to it, right? )

Looking to head back out into the forest to see if there's any trace of the people that went missing.

Figured it might be best to find someone, or someones, to come with me. Not looking to become one of the missing myself.

Some questions if you're considering it...

One, are you afraid of ghosts?

Two, how do you react when you're scared?

( --and then, with a measured sigh: )

My name is Cloud. Blonde hair, big sword. If you're worried, I'm pretty good at keeping people alive, but.

( imagine if he had just, you know, done a video. )

Yeah, I lift.

[ please disregard the language barrier for as long as it takes for him to make a homophone joke, ty ]

Not that you'd know it, but hey, appearances must be deceiving. I wouldn't have pegged you as a guy that can hurl a pretty impressive piece of metal around.

[mercedis]

( ...wow, what a pun. there is one moment where his eyes close, like he's resisting the urge to throttle--the charm. )

Yeah, well, we've never met before, so it'd be kind of hard for you to peg me as any kind of guy at all.

[ meanwhile, on this side of the feed... there's just one moment where -

well. he's wearing a blindfold, so cloud probably doesn't even know if he's being looked at, really. but there's something in the Tone of the pause that might imply that gojo's blinking (not at all) innocently underneath the cover of cloth. ]

Ah. But I pegged ya right earlier.

[ awful wording besides.

spiky ]

[mercedis]

Congratulations. How did you come to this...pegging?

[galling]

Guess it must be something I'm good at.

[ also he might've asked nanami about the local denizens and cloud got namedropped, but that reveal won't see its payoff until later probably... ]
