[TTDP 013]: hearing the world normally

TTDP # 13 is up. And now we know what she looks like when she's really grumpy.

Unlike the human condition of [hyperacusis], Chokky appears to have actual superhearing rather than a lower tolerance to noise. Which makes sense in an MT sort of way.

Interesting that this doesn't appear to be an inherited family thing. It sounds like both the superhearing and the supersized ears were something the rest of the family had not dealt with before.

Worst case scenario, she might have both superhearing and hyperacusis. That would really suck.

If he has any sense her monitor heard that line about "not caring about civilized behavior" and is calling Masamichi right now.

I'm picturing a scene like Jack-Jack's babysitter from The Incredibles.

Masamichi is sitting in his office after finishing a discussion with another client, and picks up his phone:

19 missed calls, 5 voicemail messages

Message 1: Masamichi-san? It's Tanaka. I'm calling about subject S-912. We have a problem. Please contact me.

Message 2: Masamichi-san, it's Tanaka again. I really need to talk to you about subject S-912 right now. She is threatening to destroy all of her equipment -

Message 3: The police and fire brigade are en route to Subject S-912's apartment -

Message 4: Requesting permission to call in the national guard -

Message 5: SUBJECT S-912 IS COMING TO YOU RIGHT NOW, EVACUATE AS SOON AS YOU -

BOOM! The front door of his office explodes inward off its hinges. Masamichi scrambles under his desk for cover, and as the smoke clears...

When someone threatens you, threaten them right back.

I'm liking this response.

Annoyed Chokky is very annoyed.

You don't want to annoy Chokky. :ph34r:

I was thinking more "Posting a long ranty video about the TCPD and it's treatment of demihumans." This is the guy who impressed Largo with his arsenal, after all.

Chokky will not take a course of action that may result in becoming an organ donor or an experimental test subject

Hmm. I'm not sure about that. Simply living in MegaTokyo appears to be a course of action that may result in becoming an organ donor or an experimental test subject.

You know, depending on how powerful the MG's and Kitsune really are, it's possible that just watching a trailer for MT-the-game might result in being drug into the MTverse. And I think we can make a case that just being in the game makes you an experimental test subject for something.
