[video]
Everyone's so damn eager, huh?
[He's looking off screen as the video starts, the phone being held in his palm, looking up at him. He frowns briefly before he focuses back on the video with a grin. He's wearing his usual red suit+pink dress shirt combo, because why not? Red is his color.]
I'm not going to bother campaigning just yet; I'm pretty new and dunno if I'll even be nominated for election. [He starts walking.] Anyway, name's Michio. I'm a pretty simple guy; I like training and sparring. I'm looking for sparring partners and a job that might be worth my time. By worth my time, I mean interesting; make of that what you will.
As for a sparring partner... If you--Hm. [He frowns again, tilting the phone down as he looks up with another frown, he mutters "Gone again" before looking down and holding the phone back up before the view tilts and he picks up a brick from the ground, and lets the phone tilt away again.]
There we go. [He props the phone up against something so he can step away from it, brick in hand.] So, I have pretty specific requirements for a sparring partner, and usually I've got a good eye for strength, but it's not serving me too well here. [As he speaks, he removes his jacket and drapes it over a bench, and unbuttons the cuff of his left sleeve.] What I want from you guys is if you can track this brick after I throw it; look me up. [He holds up the brick for emphasis.] If you can't at least do this, it's an utter waste of my time.
[There is a split second pink and red blur, and Michio is in a very different position after, now reclining against the back of the bench and looking off in one direction, the brick completely gone from sight. For those that could track it; he's very fast, having taking a pitcher stance, wound up the brick and pitched it clear to the barrier in the direction he was facing, on the opposite edge of Genessia.]
Yep, the other side of that barrier might be what I'm after, but if I can't get through it; have to make due.
[He turns back to the camera and grins, buttons his cuff up again and slips on his jacket, strolling over to collect the phone casually and shuts it off.]

Video
That's some throw. [He can probably track it but he doesn't really feel like trying. He's not a fighter at heart.]
Do you really think you can make it to the other side of the barrier?
Video
[He shrugs.]
Then again; maybe it's really impossible; that's a proper goal to set. Never settle for doing less than impossible.
Video
[Seth can't help the smirk that tugs at the corner of his lips.]
Well, it sounds like we need to test some things. Rule out what we know doesn't work. If everyone tries something different and then calls it hopeless... well, [He shrugs.] we don't really learn anything. It's better to focus on what we do know then what we don't.
I do think it's safe to assume running at it is a bad idea.
Video
[The smirk doesn't escape Michio's notice, but since that was probably a shot at himself and he left himself open for it; he lets it pass by.]
I heard someone tried that the other day. I've also been reading up on our open-source information--I really like that about this place, even if it's disappointing in way. Seems it gives you a headache and makes you pass out. Now you might be right about running at it, in a way.
Video
[It usually helps him.]
Passing out doesn't sound particularly painful. Do you know if you dream or do you just wake up somewhere new. [Seth flashes set of white teeth.] I'm not really interested in trying myself. [At least not yet.]
Video
[He waves off the offer for the thesaurus.]
I think they have to collect you. I new to hit up that info bank Schnee Co. has, I heard it has more details.
Though if you think about it; If you can run and break the barrier before you pass out, running at it is a great idea.
Video
I'm in the unusual situation where I'm not in a particular rush to get anywhere.
Re: Video
I'm usually not in a rush, if I can't get to it; it wasn't meant to be. Why do you usually rush?
Video
It's complicated. [Not worth going into and far to personal for Seth to want too.] It is true that giving something a name and defining it makes it less intimidating.
I don't know if what did this to us is really that simple though.
Video
If only something here was intimidating. Still, I suppose it is scary for most folks.
As for what did this to us...Details.
Video
[Now he's curious.]
I think everyone fears something.
Video
[There's no hesitation in his answer, because Seth is very right; everyone fears something.]
For me; dying's a little more relevant than for most because I could go at any time, and when it starts I'll get weaker and weaker.
Video
Why do you say that? I'm sure anyone could die at any moment but you seem very sure.
[It's odd and while Seth knows he's prying a bit, he wants to ask. He won't push if Michio says he doesn't want to talk about it.]
Video
Well, Father made me as perfectly as he could, but somewhere along the way it went awry and he said my cells would encounter come kind of hiccup. Which was his nice way of saying that I was going to die.
[There's a sigh and he picks up another brick, almost casually squeezing it till it crumbles in his hand. He was clearly agitated now.]
He was so stumped that he couldn't even tell me when. Having that kind of forecast put me in the mind of trying to enjoy things until it's time. Whenever that might be.
Video
I see. Have you looked at Nova City for a cure? I don't know very much about the cells. [Science isn't his thing.]
