[Someone has spent the last few hours holed up reading through everything on the network. Everything. Every post on both the public and encrypted networks, every comment, every introduction. He might have made notes if he'd had any paper, but for now he's just keeping it all in his head. And it's a lot.
But finally, he gets around to making a post himself. The new face that pops up on the comms is young, though the exact age is hard to determine – one of those baby faces that could be anywhere from like twelve to eighteen. He seems thoroughly unimpressed as he sits back to stare down the communicator screen.]
Wow, the corporate hellscape was pretty bad, but apparently there's a murderer on the loose, too? You'd think they'd at least switch up the genre this time.
[Who is "they"? Well, that's what he'd like to know.
But his expression abruptly changes, all childish excitement and wonder. He grins down at the communicator, nearly bouncing with excess energy.]
But how cool! A special network secret from Jorgmund? It's like we're spies! I'm sure with everyone working together, we can get out of this whole mess!
[Aw, how nice. Unfortunately, that optimistic energy suddenly disappears as the smile drops off his face, replaced with a sly smirk.]
Is that what I'm supposed to say? You're all pretty naive if you really think this network is any safer than the other one! I guess that's how so many of you have gotten picked off by just one killer, huh? What, did you just skip up to this mystery lady like "heeeyyy, you totally won't peel my face off, right?" and expect to be best friends?
[ bitch that's rude ]
Aaaanyway, I guess it's pretty standard to introduce ourselves on these things. Pretty rude of you guys to not even bother meeting people properly in person, but whatevs!
[He leans back in his seat, sizing up the communicator like it's an actual person prostate before him, and spreads his arms in a theatrical gesture.]
I'm Kokichi Ouma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader. I'm sure we're all gonna be the best of friends!
[A cheery smile, completely shameless as he tacks on at the end:]
But that's a lie. You should probably know I'm a liar.

no subject
[Or having Kokichi have that evidence, because he trusted the kid about as far as he could kick him. And even as small as the kid was, that wouldn't be far.
And, again, totally not avoiding the question because he has nothing to brag about.]
no subject
Whoopsie! I toootally forgot! I guess you'll have to tell me about it in person sometime. Well, maybe the "evil" thing isn't a great idea to chat about out in the open, but what about the "genius" part?
no subject
More proof that Wash was right about the guy essentially testing the fences with all of them. Jack wasn't great at picking up on that kind of thing on his own, but with that kind of reaction, even he could suss out that he'd basically just been quizzed.]
I mostly focus on robotics and creating advanced AI systems, as well as more general programming, and mechanical engineering. And, not exactly on the genius scale of things, but I also have skills in infiltration.
[All things everyone already knew. Still just going to keep his knowledge of practical applications of quantum mechanics to himself. He doesn't particularly want this guy knowing that any more than Jorgmund. Also going to keep his knowledge of the Shen-gong-wu in the collections room to himself. Mostly to see if he gets called out for not mentioning it the way he did when he first introduced himself. If Kokichi was going to poke at his fences he might as well poke back a little.]
What about you?
[He felt like he was piecing together a decent picture of where his talents laid, but better to try and hear it from the horse's mouth.]
no subject
Wow, a genius inventor? It's been a while since I got to work with one of those!!
[He's overacting, but there is a spark of sincerity in there. He appreciates intelligent, competent people.]
Oh man, my resume is miiiiles long. My organization is spread across the entire world, after all. I have fingers in every pie, from politics to business to horse breeding!
[At least one of those is a lie. Probably.]
But if you want examples of specific evil deeds, well...oh, I did just murder a genius inventor a little while before I ended up here!
no subject
Really? Also, good to know.
[It’s hard to pin down if that was meant to be a serious threat or just the kind of half threatening joke that villains can be prone to. Even harder to discern whether or not it’s a lie, though that’s less concerning to him than whether or not it was a sign he should watch his back.
But you know what? Two could play at that game.
Tension melting away he casually rests his chin on his hand as he puts on the most innocent smile he could manage, adapting a rather poor imitation of Kokichi’s speech patterns just for good measure.]
And you know, that’s kind of a funny coincidence. The last few great leaders I worked for who manipulated me ended up...well, I couldn't kill them, but they sure wished they could die.
[It’s both a lie and not. A stretch of the truth, maybe. Some version of him had done that and he sure had the memories of it, but time’s screwy.
And between his teasing smile, mocking attempt to imitate Kokichi’s cadence, and the fact that he can’t quite bring himself to sound as proud of that as he would like, it’s equally difficult to tell whether or not he’s serious.]
But they weren’t ultimate supreme leaders so they were obviously more flawed then you probably are.
no subject
That is a coincidence! Too bad I was lying, though.
[The grin widens slightly. He's real good at managing that shit despite this actually being a very raw subject.]
It was actually my minion that killed her. I don't like getting my hands dirty, y'know? Oh, but you shouldn't feel too bad for her. She tried to kill me first!
