[The magitek's pulled back far enough to feature not one, but two members of Audentes... or, rather, one of them striving vainly to nudge his teammate out of the feed. It's the tail end of the struggle, though, and Kung Jin is fighting a losing battle. It takes half a second for Asher Millstone to shove his way into view, taking up half of the screen and speaking up before Jin can truly get a word in.

The law student looks more excited than ever when he starts speaking, and even lifts his arms above his head in a “raise the roof” sort of gesture.]

It’s time to get wiggity wiggity whack, yo!

Don't. [He nearly slaps a hand over his friend's mouth, but reconsiders, elbowing him back instead.] So, Audentes. Since we're almost all set to leave on our next assignment, it's come to our attention that not everyone here is from a world that people like Asher or I consider "modern day".

Whoa, you? Wait a minute. Last I checked, there was nothing normal about you, man. People in your world, like, rip dudes’ spines out through their mouths and crap!

[After he says this, Asher immediately turns from Jin back to the camera, and waves his hands emphatically in its general direction.]

Don’t try that.

[Jin casts a dubious glance at Asher and moves right along in spite of all the interruptions.]

Even if you look the part, you’ve still got to play the part, too. If you're looking for any advice or tips to blend in properly on-planet, we’re pretty much experts-- so let us know if you need a hand.

[The paler of the two pops up right behind him, leaning on the other’s shoulder.]

That’s right, baby! We’ll teach you how to be 90s.

Yo, wat up mofos! [ And here enters the definition of a Try Hard. ] FYI I have not been to America, however I have seen many documentaries and series regarding this era. As there are quite a few having problems, please feel free to ask if you need more people to contribute.

[ Or don't tbh jfc ]

[jesus h christ]

...You know, I was gonna make fun of you at first, but you're actually in the top 5 for what we've seen so far.

[Mettaton is winning, FYI. That's the bot to beat.]

[assent]

[ She just wanted to Fit In... ]

For realz? Though there are quite a few of us from different times it would seem.

[ She isn't that much of a try hard okok ]

[moneyballer]

[not as much as Asher, tbf??? and u kissed him jin. luk at ur life. luk at ur choices]

Ay yo, Sons!

[*pronounced SOHNZ, not like "son" with an s]

Um, you're from a foreign country right? Maybe you could just stick with that angle. You're a transfer student! Bingo, we got our story.

[assent]

'Sup, homie?

[ Yeah, Jin... this is what you wanted isn't it. Asher at his Finest. ]

Please do not worry about me, I have my cover story down 100%!

[moneyballer]

Yeah?

[Asher raises a brow, smiling at her.]

You wanna take it for a test run?

[He says this because he's legitimately concerned... They both may be rich brats, but at least he's (somewhat) mingled with people who haven't been as fortunate.]

[assent]

Hmm? A test run? [ Excuse you, you're the only brat here Asher. She doesn't flaunt her money... she uses it on the poor so they have food?????? ]

I am a transfer student studying medicine from Germany. Giovanni will be my brother during the mission, and I have moved to America to be with my love who has moved to the same area.

[ She presses a hand over her heart. ] Not only is it flawless, it is also a story that would move others.

[ wHY... She's comparing that to how many ratings it would get on TV tbh ]

[moneyballer]

[Uttered flatly:]

Thaaaaat sounds a lot like something you'd see on a soap opera.

[assent]

[ Her... cheek may have started to puff out slightly at that. ]

Many people move abroad to be with someone they love.

[moneyballer]

Well, that's definitely a thing! You could just say you came here to be with your boyfriend, though. And, y'know, axe the drama.

[The diversity he's seen in this place in regards to couples, though, makes Asher reconsider his words.]

O-or girlfriend! Whatever-

[cue an awkward but well intentioned fist-bump]

You're into.

[pummelling]

[Jin casts Asher a pointed, somewhat specific look of "yeah u better not make assumptions u bread roll 90s sitcom character"]

It depends on how she sells it, too. Sonia, right? If you're convicted enough, people will believe basically anything.

[assent]

Somehow that term makes it feel more intimate when we are not actually together... [ A beat follows, as she just blinks, then slowly murmurs: ] Though is that not merely what girls in the 90s called their friends? "Yo what's up girlfrand?"

[ She even emphasises it... ]

But I suppose I could say boyfriend as well. Though ah! Yes, I believe we have not properly met before... My name is Sonia Nevermind.

[pummelling]

Believe me. There's a huge difference between 'girlfriend' and 'girlfriend'. It's the inflection that does it... [IS HE GONNA DO IT????????]

Girlfriend.

[G OD HE DID IT] It's Kung Jin, by the way. Welcome to the team.

[assent]

[ Ah... he did it. Thankfully she isn't going to judge. I mean, she came in saying 'wat up mofos' so... you know. ]

I see, then I will be sure to copy that if I ever choose to use it.

[ In before she does and someone gets the wrong idea... well done. ]

Thank you, though... I have been here a couple of months now, it is rather difficult to meet everyone is it not? Are you and Asher good friends?

1/2

[pummelling]

[side...long... glance at asher.......]

[pummelling]

Yeah, we're pretty good friends.

[After everything they've gone through over the last few months? He's not about to deny it, not even to a near stranger.]

[moneyballer]

Hell to the yeah!

[he's so excited he's gonna loop one arm a little too tightly around jin's shoulder, pulling him closer as a result of that half-hearted admission

suspicious]

[pummelling]

[He's chuckling pleasantly and not pulling away, even if he looks vaguely embarrassed about it. Don't PDA him man ur harshing his mellow]

Okay, okay, don't get too excited, Asher.

[moneyballer]

[noogies Jin and sticks his tongue out bcuz he can

quick sonia

stop them]

[ gay seal gif ]

[assent]

[ Instead of stopping them, however, she encourages this behaviour. ]

That is truly magnificent! I can tell just by watching that you are dear friends. [ "friends" ]

[pummelling]

[the noogie is too much unfortunately and jin is already wrenching his way out of asher's
grasp]

We're-- mostly-- a pretty personable group.

[excluding you, jin, rude jerk] You'll get to know everyone pretty soon, and if not, just watch the net for the next time somebody throws a public fit.

[assent]

Does that happen that often? [ She's mostly seen it being used to decent purposes, but you never know what people might pull when bored or angered she supposes. ]

[moneyballer]

Kinda, yeah.

[He makes a clicking sound with his mouth.]

There are bunch of people on this team who can't really control their tempers.

[u included??? lmao cease]

[assent]

Truly? I have not met that many.

[ She she just does... not piss many people off. Y'know. ]

[moneyballer]

[Said quickly, without thinking:]

That's because you're adorable.
