[This pops up on the magitek a few days after the dossier for the upcoming mission; Fiona's voice is smooth and friendly, like she's quite practiced at speaking to people.]

Hey, Ophelia. Fiona here.

Looks like our next mission requires some backstory work -- and unlike last time, we can't rely on "ignorant tourist." So, because of my experience with this sort of, uh... situation, I'm willing to help everyone out, because I'd rather we didn't all get thrown in cyber-jail because one of you screwed up.

I'm also from a universe where cybernetics are commonplace, so I can help you get the lowdown on that. [Just don't ask her about technical details. It will be embarrassing for everyone involved.]

So, let me know if you need help, advice, whatever -- we're all in this together, after all. And, as you all know, I'm an altruist.

No.

[ yusuke............ ]

If they ask can't I just tell 'em I'm a punk kid and then punch them in the nose if they don't take the hint?

[cachemoney]

[Don't punch people in the nose.]

How old are you?

[spiritgun]

What's that got to do with it!!

[ but how else does he bond with them ]

[cachemoney]

Well, you can't make a very convincing punk kid if you're not a kid.

[spiritgun]

[ hmm ]

Yeah, well. I'm the right age for it so you don't gotta worry about that.

[cachemoney]

Well, good. Problem solved; punk kid away. Let's just hope they're more lenient toward the young.

[spiritgun]

They who? The cops?

[cachemoney]

Yeah. They seem pretty heavy-handed, by what the dossier says, but some places give kids a break on that kind of thing.

[Not on Pandora, but hey.]

[spiritgun]

I usually can't catch a break.

[ even though he's an INNOCENT ]

So it'll be just like home. I guess.

[cachemoney]

Oh, my god. Are you a delinquent?

[spiritgun]

[ SKEPTICAL PAUSE ]

I guess so.

[cachemoney]

That's adorable. [lbr, if Fiona had actually gone to school, she'd have been a delinquent, too. It's genuine affection; he is Her People.]

[spiritgun]

[ yusuke is so taken aback. nO ONE EVER REACTS LIKE THIS ]

What?

[cachemoney]

You're, like, a baby criminal. It's cute!
