[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.

You're being an idiot.

[Oh look, now he's actually getting mad.]

This won't be like the ones you've been to.

[It's not make believe, he means.

Although he avoids using the words.

[Perhaps it's the pent-up frustration from the mocking he's suffered time and time again at the hands of his other teammates, or the humiliation from what happened just days before. In any case, Asher Millstone has always had a tendency to be emotional, but this is one of the few times that it manifests in anger.

He yells.
]

I am not!

[Pale cheeks have a little color in them now, and Asher's nostrils flare just a tad.

When he tries to speak of important things, it seems as though others hardly ever listen.
]

You have no idea what it's like to be normal.

[Because you aren't, Kung Jin.

You're extraordinary.

[He's seen the other in enough instances to recognize that hint of a snarl. Jin tends to bare his teeth when he's been hurt somewhere deep down, and it was a part of the reason why despite the rocky nature of their early relationship, Asher couldn't help but edge a little closer.]

I'm not saying you can't do this, bro.

[There's no way to really explain it is there? The nature of consequence in a world that's closest to his own reality.

He makes a mental note of this, understanding that while he's not entirely sure he's going to be all that useful when the infection rears its ugly head, he can at least make sure his friend will be fine.

Maybe he's worrying too much. Maybe it'll all be okay.
]

That's not what I meant! But, whatever.

[A huff.]

We'll see what happens when we get there.
