This gets boring real quick.

The party was a little fun and being kids again was interesting. But what next?

[A gravelly voice belonging to a man in his mid-to-late thirties comes in over the network, sounding positively delighted and full of confidence.] O~hohoho! An artificial intelligence named Sentience? Perfect! You already know my name, but it only seems proper to introduce myself! I am Doctor Eggman, the world's greatest scientific genius! I do look forward to getting... acquainted with you.

[Much more subdued, but still trying to sound cordial.] ... But it's a shame to put a doctor to work cleaning toilets, when I'm far better suited for intellectual pursuits. Perhaps you could reconsider?

Grell~?

Is your shop still open?

[There's a good bit of fumbling before Katou figures out how to work the video camera, and maybe a muffled curse or two. Inept as he generally is, for once it's not entirely his fault. Once the thing finally flickers on, Katou leans in and immediately barges in, loudly.]

Hey! Look, I figured out this was supposed to be some kind of prison or some crap like that but listen, I'm a fucking minor, okay? Juvy's supposed to be where it's at, am I right? Right?

[Katou pauses, distracted look on his face.]

Dunno if I believe the crap about being at the bottom of the ocean but lemme tell you, it doesn't smell like hell around here. Or look like Hades. And if this is heaven then take me back to Hades, me and Doll and Uriel can have ourselves a rave party down there. With strobe lights and strippers. Kira, you aren't invited.

[Of course, he keeps going off the subject, but a furtive glance at the pocket of his jeans makes him remember.] Anyway, listen. I know this is prison and we probably ain't supposed to have 'em, but... anybody here got any... [He mimes taking a drag on a cigarette, and whispers, as though that'll make it any less obvious].... smokes? I'm not picky about the type too bad. Kinda like menthol but... [He waves his hands exaggeratedly] If you do I'll pay you with... I dunno. WE'LL SEE.

… prison? Heheh… Prison??? And chains too.

[His laughter starts softly, a deep chuckle that slowly rises in volume until it threatens to consume the airwaves with its maddened cacophony. It takes a minute before the mirth finally slows to a dangerous stillness, But when it does, his words spill over the network like a suffocating wave of darkness.]

How priceless~

Sentience, is it? Well, you've got my attention at least. I’m not sure how you brought me here, or how you intend to hold me. But I will not be bound by one such as you…

[The camera flickers on to show a pair of miscolored eyes, one a deep blue, the other a vibrant red. The man’s mouth is pressed into a tight smile as he gazes intently into the device.]

You’ve caused me a great inconvenience by bringing me here, especially at the moment you did…

Is my nephew Kaname behind this? Answer me.
