[With the current mode switched on, listeners won't have the pleasure of knowing that Haruka has been getting buzzed incessantly since his time limit became overdue.]

[...] I would like to know more about the scientist known as Ace, or "Sweet One."

Also, about any other scientists that have been in contact with the people who were living in this city for over a year. Not for games, but as people.

[He never took an interest before, but... what sing_nonomori was able to tell him about Ace before has him a little interested. Especially considering what has been happening in the city lately.]

Anything is helpful, if you have time.

It may be useful. I hear they give you items if you ask for them.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can do, but time is what it will take.

Sometimes. I've seen them give items that people have requested, as well as to those who never asked for items in the first place.

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, I appreciate it in any case.

..Is that so? Denmark-san is the one who mentioned receiving so many items from them. Apparently he requests things quite often.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Mm.

Yes. I've seen it happen before. There have been days when I've woken up to find a crate of some fizzy drink [Ramune], or the glass marble that I used to play with as a kid.

I couldn't tell you how they fulfill those requests otherwise. Maybe that girl Moa would know better than me, since she works in the inventory.

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, I've never met someone with such a name, I believe..

It's strange, though, how the scientists are willing to answer certain requests.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

She doesn't have a good grip on the Japanese language. [Something he learned from experience.] Otherwise, you two could have just missed each other.

Is it really all that strange?

[brbmodernizing]

Does she speak English? I know a few other languages, as well.

...It's odd to think of, I suppose. Perhaps like sympathy to a prisoner, though.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I think so.

...I'm not sure I really like that point of view.

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, well, then I may try to contact her.

... Ah, yes, it's not something really meant to be liked. I apologize.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Do as you like.

You don't have to apologize for something like that.
