[Daichi pops into the plane pretty aggressively, and immediately starts stomping around. He angrily inspects the "floor," stopping here and there to inspect various clusters of stars, trying to determine whether he's really standing on something invisible over bottomless space or if the scenery beneath him is somehow part of the "floor". In order to determine depth perception and perhaps something else, he often lifts his glasses, before putting them back on and grumbling. Sometimes he yells in frustration while tugging at his hair, something about metabugs and Illegals and stupid Busue.]

Now now. A tantrum will hardly solve your problems.

[watches him curiously] Are you looking for something, boy?

Need help?

Ahh, Daichi is screwing around again.

[glares at him] What tantrum?

[doesn't really pay attention to this new person] Metabugs.

YES! Minato! I need metabugs! Fumie bea- I'm out of weapons! I need to buy more, pronto!

I'm not screwing around! Metabug hunting is hard work!

But what if I already got all the metabugs?

WHAT?! [stares at her] N-no you don't, you're bluffing!

... You need money?

Ye- NO! It's not money! I mean, it is money 'cuz you gotta use 'em to pay for cyber stuff, but you can't use it for anything else!

Like an arcade token.

I do believe yanking one's own hair and yelling counts as a tantrum. However, let me rephrase: What is upsetting you, Daichi?

Have you found any yet?

[you get a FIERCE ~~pout~~ scowl, Mu :|] I'm not THREE.

I lo- I need metabugs. But I can't find any! They got so rare since last summer, but I really need to restock on my weapons!

...I guess? But that's not important! Help me find some! You know what they look like?

O-of course I have.

No.

[quirkks a brow] Metabugs? I am, surprisingly, not familiar with that term, though I assume it has something to do with consciousness -- or, failing that, some sort of virtual reality?

Even adults throw tantrums sometimes - Frustration is hard to deal with.

Be patient. I'm sure more will appear.

Augh, you're hopeless! Here- [pulls up a screen with a sort of visual guide to metabugs] See? These ones are just junk, they're barely worth anything, so ignore those. These- [points to bright red, jagged lumps] -are explosive, so you gotta be careful. Any metbugs that are smooth and have blue and green in 'em are usually the most valuable.

[okay, now you have his attention] You didn't know, but you guessed right anyway? ...You're good.

[angry snort]

Yeah, well, I hope so! Otherwise I'm screwed!

Now the question is, why did you allow yourself to run out in the first place?
