[Dexter had denied him. Again. Dexter had... killed him. But that couldn't be right. Everything was so surreal. His plans had fallen apart, and he'd woken up - here? This place of stars and darkness?]

[Looks around; doesn't see anyone, so he settles on the "ground", folding his legs crosswise. Brian pulls something out of his pocket. It's an older looking Barbie doll, one with coarse reddish hair. It's completely naked, and slowly he starts taking it apart. A leg pops out of a hip joint. Thin, shiny red ribbon is tied around it in a careful bow.]

[Brian considers his options.]

So? It's a trade-off. Somebody's gotta do it.

[smirks again] Very true. I think I like you, kid.

[yeah, well, he's not sure how he feels about you yet :(] ...You're weird. What's your name?

[acrotomophile]

[lol, doesn't care] I'm Rudy.

Rudy. [just to try it out; an unfamiliar name from a different language] I'm Daichi.

[acrotomophile]

Nice to meet you, Daichi. What are you doing out here?

[grins impishly] I'm gonna go have a hacking battle soon. Trying to set up my weapons. [cracks his knuckles and flexes his fingers]

[acrotomophile]

I'm assuming you're talking about computers? [although he'd be far more entertained if he weren't]

[rolls his eyes] What'm I gonna do, swing an axe in the middle of a crowd??

[acrotomophile]

[holds his hands up] Hey, in this place, I don't assume anything.

What are you hacking into?

[cybercentric.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this place is fulla weirdos.

My rival's systems! Whoever gets hacked first and the most has to do the other's homework for two weeks. I'm gonna wipe the floor with her for that!
