[it's probably not long until the game starts.
shinnosuke's ready—or (tangled voice) as ready as i'll ever be—albeit very unhappily so. still, there are a few things he wants to check up on. one idiot is among those things, so.
'sup, sei. shinnosuke's got his uniform on so that he can properly adjust to moving around in it, though currently sans hat and veil, showing off the headphone in his right ear.]
It's almost showtime. You sure you're ready?

[hey! who is shinnosuke('s metatext) calling an idiot!! sei has this!!
...or rather, she thinks she has this. time will tell how things turn out - for all they know the participants the nightman has roped in could throw a wrench in things - but she's ready to do her best. she's also wearing the uniform in an attempt to get used to it, though likewise, it's without the hat and the veil.]
I'm sure. [she sounds confident, at least.] Are you?

Of course I am.
[he's not. he never is. for him, it's always less about being "prepared" as so much it is that he's grown numb to his fear. because he has no choice but to do this—and do it well—he will.
he crosses his arms.]
I, however, am dubious about your ability to deliberately act like an asshole to our "guests"...

[shinnosuke isn't even remotely offended, because thank you, he tries very hard to act like a jerk. it's the one thing he's good at.*
*debatable, a surprising amount of people don't hate him]
All right. Then, I'll test you. I'm going to pretend to be one of the guests.

[he adjusts his position so his hand is on his hip in a feigned annoyed gesture.]
Hey, Vulp-whatever-your-name-is! Mind explaining to me why I've gotta go through this whole killing game thing again? Can't you just let us out of here?

[said in the same tone as "it's SEIZABURO" whenever anyone tried to nickname her:]
It's Vulpecula. And you just answered your own question! If you can say "again," then you already know it doesn't work like that! Did you stop to think about that before you asked, moron?

—Okay, Vulp-whatever. [he grins.] Hey, I've got another question. What kind of asshole actually agrees to host an event where you force a bunch of people to murder each other? You could say I'm really quite curious about what sort of messed up psyche you might have.
[shinnosuke is glad sei didn't realize or comment on how shinnosuke basically just called himself out.]
And I don't remember signing any contract, so how do I know you're not making this up, huh?

You mean gaslight, idiot.
[is this shinnosuke being himself or shinnosuke pretending to be a mean player? yes.]
[he sighs.]
You know, in the short bit I knew her before you knocked her out and stuffed her under the floor, the girl you're impersonating seemed modern like me. You're going to have to get your vocab straight.

Bonjour, comment ça va? S'il vous plait. Zut alors. Au revoir.
[he shrugs.]
Too bad for you. [and him, because he's thinking, oh, we're fucked, to which he can only smile like a fool.] If it were something like German, I could help, but my French isn't up to par.

Just don't act like a definitely Japanese samurai.
Okay, but how well did you perform in said undercover missions?
Hm.
[...]
All right, let's go back to pretending I'm a guest here.
