001 [Video]

[gotanysparechange]

So, hey there everyone. My name's Change. Thought I do my own little introduction than leave it to everyone's favorite pain in the ass. I don't know most of you and most of you don't know me, but here's hoping we can all change that soon eh?

I'll be your tailor for the remainder of your stay here. If you need anything patched up, or just want a new look I'm the guy to come to. I might not look like it, but I'm pretty good with a needle.

That's it folks. Good to meet all of you.

[He almost closes the journal before whipping it back open again.]

Oh right, would anyone mind telling me who went through my things and took my stuff? And who nailed my penny collection to my ceiling?

Jaesus fock.

[Someone's happy to see his buddy back.]

Yer back!

Audio

[gotanysparechange]

There's a voice I haven't heard in forever.

[detectivetroll]

[Well. Looks like Nick was right about the former staff part, at least. He has to say he's a little surprised to see him here, though, given Duran's attitude.]

Guess this saves me the trouble of having to try and track you down to some other horrible place to get you out.

[He says it lightly, almost joking, but Nick actually was starting to plan how to do that.]

[gotanysparechange]

No need for any daring, impromptu rescues this time buddy.

[fuckinstoplights]

[He knows that voice. And thank Robot God for the magic journal translator.]

You seem better.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

[Yay he can understand Kagerou now! Sort of!]

And I've got you guys to thank for that. Haven't forgot about you either big guy, still looking for someone to fix you up.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

[ENGLISH IS HARD OKAY.]

I need fuel more than repairs. [For now.]

Why were you being held there?

[detectivetroll]

That's a shame, I've been getting a lot of practice at those lately.

[He pauses, then his tone turns more genuine.]

I'm glad you're okay.

[gotanysparechange]

White knight type huh? Too bad there's no princesses for you to rescue.

Thanks, just happy to be out of there right now.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

[YOU'RE A ROBOT. DOWNLOAD IT OR SOMETHING ROBOT-Y LIKE THAT.]M

Now that I can help with. I bet I can siphon off some gas from a vehicle in the stables until we get something more permanent going on.

[He pauses.]

You heard the guard dog. I can't answer any questions.

[It's obvious being leashed like this bothers him a great deal.]

Audio

[dontgiveafock]

Aye. S'good to have you back, brother. I been on the dogs case about it, the others too, but he wouldn't fockin' budge.

[And Joe didn't know where Change was. The threats of things being made worse stalled any rescue attempts as well.]

M'sorry, Change.

Audio

[gotanysparechange]

I figured you guys would have raised some hell. Just glad none of you ended up down there with me.

[The joking tone fades, becoming more genuine.]

It's alright Joe. I knew what I was getting into and I don't regret it for a second.

[And then the smile is right back.]

But hey, if you want to make it up to me I wouldn't mind getting some real food. And a hammer, gotta get my collection off the damn ceiling.

[culinarybeast]

[This is the new guy?]

All that crap was yours?

[gotanysparechange]

Well I wouldn't call it crap but yeah. Guessing you're the one who was snooping around in my stuff?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

[IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.]

There are vehicles here?

[He pauses too.]

It wasn't a dog. It was a wolf. [THIS IS A THING, OKAY, just go with it.] Why aren't you allowed to tell us what you've done?

[detectivetroll]

[He chuckles.]

I've been accused of that. I'm taking a break from princess rescuing, I've had my fill of that already.

[There's a brief pang, as he thinks of Juliette, but he shrugs it off.]

Yeah. How long were you down there?

[gotanysparechange]

Sure you say that now.

[Change goes silent for a moment.]

Not a damn clue. It's hard to tell time when you're in a dark room being electrocuted.

[It's been a lot longer than he likes though.]

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

[WELL WHY NOT?]

Not all the time, but usually there's one or two sitting around down there.

[That's a very odd correction.]

Honestly it was neither but alright.

They don't like it when I talk

[thii2ii22tupiid]

2o they're draggiing more of you fuck2 out.
are you goiing two 2tiick around more than the other2?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

[REASONS.]

Then I will break them open.

[Because that'll go just fine, right?]

The sound was... familiar. Like a wolf's.

Why not?

[Audio]

[gotanysparechange]

Oh wow, that's pretty eye searing.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Whoa whoa whoa big guy, just let me siphon out at tank. It'll be easier on everyone that way.

[Seriously, from the brief time he's known this guy Change has seen nothing but bad decisions from him.]

Yeah he tends do that when he's chasing something.

Maybe it's because I talk too much.

[Audio + Translated Text]

[fuckinstoplights]

Kagerou. Not 'big guy'.

[In the brief time he's existed, he hasn't made a lot of good decisions.]

All right. I will wait.

Everyone speaks. Why are you punished for it?

[detectivetroll]

I'll probably start missing it, soon enough.

[He considers that, still trying to reconcile the man he'd rescued, the one he'd already started to be protective of, with a staff member he has to be careful around.]

I won't ask for details. But... is there anything you can tell me, without getting yourself in trouble?

[Audio + Translated Text]

[gotanysparechange]

Right, sorry about that.

[Change holds back a sigh of relief.]

You'll have your fuel in no time don't worry.

Because I've done things they don't like.

[He's being vague for a reason here Kagerou. Please take a hint.]
