This week, I'll be having the testing room open for any volunteers who may wish to participate in the AI registration program. I know some of you had been interested in participating, and I've been able to put aside the time to do the scanning, currently. Please make sure your deck is up to date, as it will be fully registered, and until the AI is solidified, I'd appreciate no last-minute changes after the initial registration.

Thank you.

[Event]

*So, this is kinda a three-fold event.

A) You're at Mamoru's testing room at LDS, either to take part in the AI registration program to have your likeness and deck recreated, or you're here to talk to him for some reason or another.

B)

Right outside of LDS's main building however, there's a red-haired woman standing there, arms crossed. Labrys seems to be keeping a steady eye on Mamoru for whatever reason, and she isn't going to budge anytime soon.

C)

... And that's because Tarou's been slinking around. Sure, he's trying to make himself look like he should be there, be it going around the other facilities that're open to the public and whatnot, but he is kinda loitering.*

Apologies if it's coming off as that, then. *she makes no sign of moving*

I'm here on guarding business, so it isn't loitering.

I trust you have your papers and identification to back that up?

::Pressing a pair of glasses up her nose.::

Do you have the authority in this area to question me, and ask for trifles such as that?

*staring at you, Serena. like a statue.*

Seeing as I technically own...

Wait, haven't I seen you before.

::Narrowing her eyes and pursing her lips.::

Since you are familiar, I can only assume so.

... Other than the glasses. The glasses are new, on you.

*your vague memories of the other timeline are telling you that this is the lady that got on Reiji's case about using Literal Demons for cards, markedly about how much of an idiot he was.*

They make business partners and business meetings go smoother. Something about 'resting bitch face'.

::Yeah, didn't we take those cards over to you like a year or two in this timeline to chop up?::

*That is quite likely, yes. because those things were like toxic waste in that form.*

Ah, intimidation. A classic move in discussions of that nature.

Actually it was losing us money. Glasses make me seem more 'soft' and 'vulnerable'. Or something.

So why are you loitering on our property?

I'm here on guard-duty, as I said.

One of your employees, who's been a special-interest case for myself and my comrades, might be in danger.

... In danger how? And who?

"Yamada, Mamoru". The ghastly looking one, if you need a description.

And he appears to have a stalker. *pointedly looks in one direction.*

... The idea of ol' Skullface having a stalker is weird, but I guess there's all types?

::Looks over in the pointed direction, pushing her glasses to the top of her head.::

*you notice some messy dark-haired guy over there in glasses, but he's kinda making himself blend in with the scenery-- or at least trying to.

Labrys is a very effective deterrent. Labrys chuckles to herself a little.*

Skullface. That's a name for him.

And I'm not sure exactly why, but I've seen the same human everytime I've been here, in the vicinity. He's tended to stay clear since I've come to stand here, but... He starts to try to follow when Yamada leaves the building, as well.

...

I'll probably put a security detail of one or two people on Yamada if that boyish girl has anything dangerous intended for him.

::Cracking her knuckles.::

*Tarou would absolutely be offended at least a little bit by that*

Very well. But until that security detail is present, I'd prefer to not leave this space, since this human is present.

... Not that I haven't attempted a less blunt approach than this, but he isn't allowing me to take part in his AI research. Something about me being the only one to effectively overload his system.

...

::Staring at you for that last comment.::`

I see.

Hnm? Do you wish to make a comment?

I'm a bit concerned you can blow out his systems.

... Though I wonder if we can use you to stress test until they become You Proof, but I'm talking out loud.

::Shrug.::

... Perhaps that might be an option to bring up to him.

If he's willing to accept the obvious risk of damaging his equipment, of course.

Not like my brother and I won't give him a lot of leeway with a black budget.

::Shrugs again.::

Really? He seemed very sensitive about the idea.

*A little amused about it*

Which he.

Yamada.

He seemed anxious about it.

To be a bit mean, he's anxious about the sun rising in the morning.

::Shrugs.::

I would have more pinned him for "anxious about the sun setting at night".

But I think we both understand the point, here.
