hey hey heyyy
everyone shut up for a minute, i wanna figure out something *actually* useful!!
can everyone else see those mountains waaaaaaay off in the distance? or i guess maybe they're closer for you guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
whatever
if you can see them then try facing them and tell me where the sun is in relation to you
it seems like morning right now so we can probably assume that direction is east!
unless we're on some kind of alien planet lol
and i guess this can double as a roll call
jeeeez i have to do everything around here!!

no shit
i'm trying to figure out how far you are, not sightseeing
sheeeesh
anyway yeah there's this old guy with a mustache here but he doesn't seem to know anything either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[cactusy]

Where are you guys from?

[trialbyliar]

shouldn't you share your own info first before you ask others???

[He says, after asking for people's general locations without sharing his own.]

[cactusy]

New York. Your turn.

[trialbyliar]

a spaceship that crash landed on earth after the extinction of the human race!!

[He leaves that there for a few moments, just in case it draws any reaction.]

buuut i'm lying
japan

[cactusy]

[It does indeed draw a reaction, though he doesn't get to see it: she frowns at the text on her walkie, scoffs in annoyance, and waits for a real answer.

Luckily for her, she gets one.]

Don't suppose you work in the tech industry?

[Could Decima be regrouping overseas?]

[trialbyliar]

i'm 16

[Not that that necessarily precludes working in specialized industries where people like him and his classmates are involved, but so far he hasn't heard shit about Ultimates here, so that doesn't seem to be the norm this time around.]

[cactusy]

And not a child prodigy, huh.

Do you know why someone would want to kidnap you?

[trialbyliar]

well i *am* the leader of a secret organization with more than ten thousand members across the world
and i'm also pretty cute (^.~)☆
so i guess i can see why i'd be targeted
after all i have loooots of enemies and desperate admirers!!

[cactusy]

So that's a no.

[trialbyliar]

nope! no clue

[cactusy]

Cool. Good talk.

[salamanca]

[ Wait! "Old??" Hey! Reading that, Lalo looks suddenly self-conscious and frowns, rubbing a hand over his mustache, then down at himself, as if re-assessing his clothing choices. ]

[trialbyliar]

[He's like 16, everyone here is old compared to him!]
