Greetings.

It seems I've arrived to this place for the first time in my life. I can only suspect this to be a cruel punishment designed by those government dogs - or perhaps, a tactic by the invading Amanto - as a way to get rid of the leader of the Joui. Don't despair! I will not let myself fall prey to these lies and let humanity be destroyed by the invaders!!

On a related note, if there are any brave young warriors willing to join the cause for the liberation of Edo and the world, there will be Joui entrance exam next week.

Also, has this place finally fixed their lack of betamax?

There's no Betamax.

[onstandby]

...!!!

Then how... HOW...

[onstandby]

How am I supposed to watch my weekly drama?!!!

[notjohnsmith]

Unless you watch telenovelas, there probably isn't any way to watch it here regardless.

[oftpartitioned]

Which invaders?

[onstandby]

The Amanto invaders from outer space, of course.

[oftpartitioned]

Of course.

[onstandby]

Would you be interested in joining the cause to regain control of our land?

[maiditoutalive]

what is a betamax

[onstandby]

Only the best system to record and replay television programs you might otherwise miss.

[maiditoutalive]

isnt that what the internet is for

[onstandby]

Everybody knows the internet is for p*rn and for screwdrivers.

[badnewsboy]

Don't listen to him, it's for moving imagery of cats and other cat-like creatures and the roll of rick.

what is an anything you just said

[onstandby]

The Amanto are invading forces that need to be repelled so we can regain our home and honor.

The Joui are a group of brave, handsome and strong revolutionary men ready to fight till the end in order to liberate our nation. If you are interested in joining, please come to the exam next week. Recommended study topics are agility, action, and Jackie Chan.

Betamax is the best system to record and replay television programs you might otherwise miss.

This is a weird existential crisis.

[onstandby]

An existential crisis, or a cry for battle?!

[badnewsboy]

An existential cry for battle. Draw your swords, for the time of our charge into defining reality!

[onstandby]

Yes!! You have the spirit of the Joui!!! YOU must join us!!!

[hawkingbird]

Liberation of Edo?

[onstandby]

From Amanto oppression, yes!

[badnewsboy]

I've joined Joui, I believe.

[hawkingbird]

Well that settles it; I guess I'm in too.

[badnewsboy]

Excellent, we can Joui together!

[onstandby]

Not so fast - you must prove you belong in the Joui before you can use that name for yourself.
