Hello. [ have a SMILE :) There is no reason for this to be video other than Kaworu not really bothering to change the settings on his communicator ] I am pleased to see that the city is different since my last visit. You are truly amazing, proving that you can heal even when all seems dire. Congratulations. [ kanworu's smile grows bigger ]

My presence here and existence in this world is still quite irrelevant. But because healing this world might be the only way to be returned to my universe, I will help. Positive contact, right? [ kaworu absolutely does not mind it at all. Regardless, that is the perfect way to ask his next question ]

Is contact with others something you are comfortable with? The touch of another person, is it something you seek?

[Cliff responds in text...mostly because he doesn't feel like sitting up, but also because he doesn't trust those vibes.]

fuuuuuck no
unless you're a really hot chick

[...okay so even while joking he feels a little guilty about that one, HEY GIRLFRIEND IN ANOTHER DIMENSION, THE REALLY HOT CHICK IS YOU, OKAY]

Chicken are generally warmer than humans, but too warm would mean it's sick.

[5thchild]

What does Hardy Har mean?

[awooligan]

this is a really weak attempt at trolling man

[5thchild]

Trolling?
I do not understand what you are talking about. Is it something chicken do?

[hot_handed]

[Oh my god. It's always the white-haired/half white-haired guys who talk like weirdos.]

I don't get half of what you're saying, but are you patronizing us?!

Video.

[5thchild]

I'm congratulating you for helping this world.

[hot_handed]

Why?! [He...he doesn't understand.] We haven't even won yet and it ain't like we got much of a choice.

You said you were hear before?

[5thchild]

There is always a choice. You are creatures with free will, after all.

You can choose not to participate in the positive contact the gods request of us. You can choose not to help this city grow. And yet this city did grow and change since the last time I saw it. [ yes, he was here before]

[hot_handed]

What do you mean, "you"?! Are you human? [Wait!] Are you an android?

Unless you're from a really shitty world, of course people are going to choose what's more likely to send 'em back home eventually. Our choices are to do nothing and remain trapped, or save the world so they'll stop holding us hostage.

[Or to go up against the gods, but he's not going to shout that to a stranger.]

[5thchild]

Humans call my kind Angels. [ he is not an android, no]

It is still a choice, and every choice has a consequence, good or bad, positive or negative. [ regardless] Do you hate this world?

[hot_handed]

That explains a lot.

[Bakugou scoffs softly and rolls his eyes.] You're damn right I do. These so-called gods don't even have the spine to face us themselves, and the shitty robots won't let us try to help unless it's cuddling and shit! It ain't our fault they fucked up their world.

[5thchild]

[ most likely it does not but kaworu is not going to bother correcting that.]

So it does not matter to you if this world dies or not?

[hot_handed]

I didn't say that-!

[Katsuki scowls and looks to the side.]

But they're going about it the wrong way.

[5thchild]

How would you go about it?

[hot_handed]

I'd murder what was harming it in the first place!

[wakemelater]

You've been here before?

[Nico may vaguely remember seeing the guy around - though it was probably back when he Did Not Care. He's also aware that sometimes people come back with no memory of this place.

But to answer the question:]

Not everyone is comfortable with physical contact.

[5thchild]

What if people are the ones doing so?

[5thchild]

Yes, I have. [ he doesn't think that subject is very important so kaworu will not elaborate ]

Why aren't you?

[hot_handed]

Like villains? I'll just kill 'em too.

[ancientflower]

Hello, there. You're a Returner as well? You remember the last time you where here though?

[Aerith is smiling, sat in her garden in the sunlight and looking perfectly content.]

As for contact with others, I find nothing wrong with a friendly hug!

[wakemelater]

[He didn't need elaboration. The details weren't important.

He stalls on the question. He has some idea why - Mr. D explained some theories during their informal therapy sessions back home. But...]

I, uh... That's a personal question.

[5thchild]

"Villain" can be quite the relative term, don't you think? In someone else's eyes you might be evil, even if you consider your actions right.

[hot_handed]

...Nope, it's pretty fucking simple. If you break the law and cause harm, you're a villain, especially if you intentionally target and hurt others.

I don't give a shit what other people think of me.
