ANNOUNCEMENT 004

[intercom_voice]

[Bet you all missed hearing from the lovely lady over the intercom, yes? No? Well too bad, because she's making her scheduled announcement right now, as indicated by the screeching of intercom feed.]

I do hope you're all enjoying the fresh air. I know how stir crazy some of you have been getting. A little fun in the sun never hurt anyone. Maybe now we can cut down on the property damage, hm? [Her tone darkens a bit.] And the fires.

You're welcome.

[Because clearly she's doing all of you a favor!]

And remember, don't spend all your time taking in the sun. You have studies to get to! "Only the educated are free"~

[The announcement ends.]

Thanks.

[Raiden looked over at him, instantly spotting his cybernetic parts. He didn't recognize them, staying on the defensive in case he was an enemy. Was he a mercenary? A cop? Some other type of special forces?]

[He picked up a still whole watermelon.]

Want to try it for yourself?

[Was Jack trying to see what weapons this guy had on him? Yes, he was.]

Sorry for being late, had things I needed to square away.

[cybrid]

And waste whatever food hasn't found its way into Edna's deep fryer? I think I'll pass.

[ His overall demeanor is kept casual, relaxed as he gestures behind himself to the school building. ]

Doubt the people here would appreciate it.

[ There's a moment of silence as Leo gets a good look at the man's limbs. Clearly high-end compared to the scraps the killseekers attached to their bodies. ]

You're the first person I've seen here that's outfitted with cybernetics. Where are you from?

No problem. Take as much time as you need.

[mrthunderbolt]

[... Raiden hadn't thought of that.]

Anyone is welcome to eat it.

[Not like he was going to.]

America. You?

[cybrid]

[ Another mention of America. It's either a place from before the war or from a different world entirely. With how advanced the guy's tech looks, he's leaning more towards 'different world'. Prosthetics were always around but it wasn't until nanomachines or cyber-enhancements became necessary that options became more advanced. ]

I'm from Milvallen. Name's Leo.

[mrthunderbolt]

[Leo. He committed that to memory.]

Never heard of it. Is that in Asia somewhere?

[With the breakdown of The Patriots, it made logical sense some new countries might spring up.]

[cybrid]

Considering I had never heard of America before coming here? Doubtful.

[ Leo keeps his body language neutral as he approaches, making certain he doesn't come off as a threat. He closes in on the watermelon the man diced earlier, picking up one of the halves for a closer inspection. ]

Milvallen's one of the few places that has an established court system. If you head anywhere else, you're walking into anarchy.

[mrthunderbolt]

[Raiden eyed the man, but did nothing further. They were just chatting, after all.]

Are you from another planet or something?

[In short, he didn't quite believe him.]

[cybrid]

I'm guessing it's a case of 'or something'.

[ The retort is dry and he manages a smirk to a top it off. Without a second thought, he tosses the fruit at the other cyborg. ]

Catch.

[mrthunderbolt]

[Not quite expecting that, Raiden indeed caught it, but it exploded in his strong grasp. His eyes showed his surprise.]

Hope you weren't planning on me throwing this back.
