The first thing Yasukazu took notice of after the initial greeting was the lingering scent of western food in the air. It wasn't that he particularly had a preference to it, but rather it was not something he had much during his day-to-day life. Perhaps it was an influence from his overly traditional family or perhaps because it was easier and quicker to just get ramen and be done with it. 

 He thanked his senior for both the praise and taking his offering, going down to help her populate the room with more food for everyone to enjoy. Upon placing the last dish down, he claimed ownership of a slice of the pizza closest to him, making the 'Pacman' pizza open its mouth more. The soft and chewiness was mouth-watering, contrasting significantly to the rice and ramen he was used to having. Each bite tore off the melted cheese from the pizza bread; the sharp and sour hint of tomato stimulated his tastebuds into attention as they poured out, the fragrance of spices eminating from the bitten wound on the half of the slice that escaped the wrath of his first mouthful. By the time the fifth person arrived he was had just finished his third slice, accompanied by the bitter-sweet taste of beer that he poured for himself some time between the first and the third slice. 

The fifth person was, to his delight, Sarah. Sarah left a lasting impression on the undergraduate ever since the first meeting; for one it was an ambivalent feeling having a 'junior' who was his 'senior', so to speak. For another, she was a foreigner, from her appearance to the intriguing accent. And then there was the way she called him. 'Yakkun' had a nice vibe that made him feel at ease, as if they were friends since the time he started working as a Corrector. Apart from that, he was certain she could be a big help to his project. His dream of the 'ultimate application' would be something to be used worldwide; having a foreigner's opinion with foreign culture and views to give feedback to his ideas was a crucial step in the near future. Having a foreign friend he could talk to would address that perfectly.

It was only after Sarah's arrival that Yasukazu realized there was going to be an absent member. It was hard not to admit how much Yasukazu enjoyed Michiko's contribution to discussions, or hearing the choice of words Satoru strings together! It was a pity there will be less discussions, but at least Satoru was here. He pushed these thoughts to the side as Soshi continued to address everyone in the room. A smile crept upon his face at the part about helping themselves to the food, having already binged on pizza and beer almost as soon as he had arrived. What would his father think when he found out his only son took food from seniors before asking permission? 

The time frame between that first speech and the second speech was spent by chatting and idly taking food and drink to his mouth. Yasukazu pushed the thoughts about work, about his ultimate goal and other stuff in his mind to the corner so that he can do what this meet was all about; taking a break. He found it quite easy to get involved in talking and relaxing with the members in this room compared to being with anyone else, the fatigue from dealing with work, his old-fashioned parents and the drive this morning already forgotten. 

And just like that, the unwinding time came to a close with the two senior's serious talk. Irritation flashed across his eyes as Mima's talk came to an end. It wasn't as if he couldn't understand her concerns; he could even relate to it for he too had found the amount of times they had to risk their lives as Correctors for the past few periods to be peculiar. He agreed there was too much risk to investigate it themselves like Mima had pointed out. And again, being prepared was something he completely agreed on. But what use was it expressing it at this instance? 

He gave himself time to calm down before answering Soshi's question about what each one thought of this. He liked everyone that was present plus Michiko, and the last thing he wanted to do was make things worse by saying the wrong things. Thankfully Satoru contributed to buy him time to do just that, all the while thinking about what he can truthfully and inoffensively state. 

And then their phones came alive with the dreaded siren.

Yasukazu let out a snicker; of course, he should've seen this coming. He exhaled as silently as he could, pushing all unnecessary thoughts to the back of his mind like he did before only this time focusing solely on his duty as a Corrector. Despite the constant risks and fatigue, he had to admit going to the DgtWld had never failed to make his heart beat with excitement. He couldn't wait to meet Vs and Hackers, see what kind of abilities they have or just what they are capable of. All in the name of his dream.

Yasukazu's dialing sequence was nothing fashionable enough to mention. When he opened his eyes after the brief void occured from transfer, he was Eclipse. He was now stronger, faster and... closer to his feet. Yes, he was at least a head shorter as a Corrector. This, he argued when someone asks, allows him to evade and dodge more easily. Whether that is true, he isn't sure.

"By the way, continuing on from earlier," Eclipse piped in at the group while checking his own monitor for the location of their target; he had entered the DgtWld at the "Rekindle" part by Futen and figured there were still some concerns unresolved in the team. "Just wanted to say how about we gather information about the past frequent alerts and see if there is any pattern? The location and date of occurance is freely given to us and it'd be better than doing nothing. Although X-94[i]chan[/i] would come first." With that said, Eclipse willed a Green ball to materialize in his right palm, tossing it up and catching it with one hand. It was a habit of his; test if everything is working fine. Even the safest machine or the simplest code can have errors. Last thing he needed was his power to malfunction when he needed it.
