[When the audio feed opens up, Hajime sounds rather angry about something. Not distressed, but certainly angry.]

I'm not even sure what the hell these pulses think they're doing anymore, but now I need someone to bring me a shirt. No questions, just a shirt.

[He is so irritated right now. So very irritated. Doesn't help that an earlier Echo shortened his fuse a little bit...]

With Aunt Tomiko, anything's possible.

Can't just say we were having a contest to see who had the family with the worst taste in gift clothes?

[Voice]

[chalicejoker]

Geez, and I thought my mom's sisters were bad.

That's the sort of contest that needs to be held in private, I think...

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

She's my dad's sister, it might be the same thing.

Could always say we need impartial judges? "Excuse me, sir, which shirt is the most hideous?"

[Voice]

[chalicejoker]

But that would involve asking to be noticed in these things.

I do not want to be noticed.

[Nope nope nooooope, not even for the inherent comedy factor.]

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Aa, but see, logic works backwards with these things. By being self conscious about the shirt, you stick out. By laughing it off, someone might remember the shirt, but not who was wearing it! You yourself become invisible!

[Voice]

[chalicejoker]

That...uh...

I still don't want to wear the shirt.

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Here's hoping your rescue comes through with something then.

Since going topless would just get you more attention of all the wrong sort~

[Voice]

[chalicejoker]

I would've just done that if this had happened in the middle of summer...at least it could have gotten me to a thrift shop or something to grab another shirt.

[Really, it's easy to say that now.]
