[He had been messing with the holographic interface for a while, having managed to start a recording without really realizing that it was recording quite yet.] Some serious technological wonder right here. How's a cellphone supposed to keep up with this? Man, if this kinda tech ever hits the market back home...

[He sighs, rubbing the back of his head before plopping down onto a seat and reaching into his coat for a pack of cigarettes. A few shuffles of the box and he snatches one between his lips. The box goes away and he snatches his lighter to light himself up. Only it doesn't work.] Huh? [Again. Again. Once more. No luck. A miserable sigh, and he lets his head hang]

Picked up by the gods for a big all worlds saving quest, and I grabbed the dud on the way out? That's got to be all kinds of bad omens right the-...ah. Is this thing on?

[Leaning forward, taking the unlit smoke between his fingers and peering at the definitely recording image.]

Ah, so that's how you do it.

Yo! [A wave] Anyone got a light? All this heavy business of gods and worlds and this and that, it's really just not right to try and take it all in without a good smoke. I'm at the...let's see here...ah! Odin District.

[Akiyama was keeping an eye out for people coming and going by where he was, until he spotted this guy, standing out in the crowd in a way that'd make sore thumbs look inconspicuous. Now with only a voice to go on, he couldn't be sure this was his guy or not, but given the way he talked, his gut was leaning towards it being the guy.

So, you know what? Whether it is or isn't, he's gonna wave his hand to try and catch some attention.]

[Zimos catches sight of the other man, raising his empty hand in greeting, then making his way over to him. He places his mic against his throat before speaking.]

Well, that wasn't so hard. Name's Zimos.

[Wow. Just wow. Well that explains the funky voice. Beg's the question why, though he isn't far from guessing it's for the hell of it. Guy looks like your typical hollywood pimp dialed up to eleven]

Ah, yes. Akiyama. Nice to meet you, Zimos...huh.

[Welp, a deal is a deal, so he's gonna pull the box out, shuffle out a pair and hand one over to the dude.]

Now that is strange.

Much obliged, my man.

[He takes the cigarette in his empty hand, setting his mic to lean against his side while deftly reaching into his pocket, pulling out a purple lighter with a large Z shaped with rhinestones embedded on the side. As is common courtesy, he makes sure Akiyama's cigarette is lit up first before tending to himself.]

Got a tracheotomy then decided to autotune the voicebox. Figured with my money, why the fuck not?

And likewise, my man.

[Oh, come to papa. He takes a good long drag and almost sinks into his seat. And then he just lets it all out, straight up, and sighs nice and relaxed]

Now that's the shit right there.

[And he straightens back up, holding the smoke all casual and giving his savior the attention he deserves]

I'm not doctor myself, but I'm pretty sure that'd be the thing that drives me to quit smoking myself. Different folks, different strokes though.

Not many people live as long as I do in my line of work.

[He stops to take a drag, savoring the feeling and flavor.]

Sooner or later you just stop giving a fuck. Nobody lives forever, so why stop doing the things that feel good, know what I mean?

I'm not one to judge myself, though, if I had to speak for myself? I'd wager leaving something behind is just as good as living it up.

[Another drag himself.]

But damn if I don't care to live it up myself every now and then. Sometimes, you just got to do what feels good.

I've seen it all, done it all, and fucked it all for good measure.

[One more sweet drag before he continues.]

But fuck if I've ever been yanked into a pile of shit like this.

[That earns a smile out of Zimos.]

Damn right.

Well, what's life without a new experience every now and then. Even one with gods and quests and colors and all that stuff.

[Hmm]

But yeah. I've been into some pretty deep shit, but this is a whole other kind of mess to step in.

So what's your story? You don't look like any just any random off the street motherfucker to me.

[Zimos can't help but chuckle.]

But shit, I'm one to talk.

Now if that ain't the glittered up pot calling the kettle black.

Me? I'm in financing, you know. Well, that, and I own this little hostess club in Kamurocho. Between the two of them, I'm as busy as I can be, so I can't complain.
