[ It turns out that if you can hoverboard in virtual reality, you can more or less skateboard in real life. He's hardly doing anything extreme, but he can glide around the park without hurting himself or anybody else just fine, and he can manage a few beginner's tricks without much difficulty — with a few "flashy but easy" stunts in his sleeve, there's an obvious solution here: he could teach these kids some entry level skills so they stop riding into poor pedestrians and busting up the local park. The kids will probably get tired of the fad before long, may as well just humor them until they give up of their own accord.

There's an obvious solution. But from the way that Yusaku's looking at his Far Shore compatriot, it seems he does not want to do it that way... mostly because he doesn't like talking to other people. ]

... No, I'm not going to teach them, I'm not — I'm not good at teaching stuff. I don't think it'd work. Why don't you teach them instead?

[ And, well, mostly he just doesn't like talking to other people. On that note: judging from the way he's holding his skateboard, he's probably going to make an attempt to literally ollie out of this conversation if he isn't stopped. ]

[ Fortunately, Yusaku doesn't even know what either his Eastern or his Western astrological signs are, which is definitely not because he lacks a canon birthday. As such, he remains completely oblivious to any subliminal messaging. He's pretty sure it must be the work of an ayakashi, so he's trying to keep his concentration on the mission and root out where it might be hiding, but at some point not even he can ignore how weird his companion is acting. ]

... Hey, get a grip. You don't seriously believe in this star sign stuff, do you?

My name is PLAYMAKER.

I suppose not many of you are tech savvy. I advise that you not use the smartphones provided to us. They're a security risk. Unless you don't mind the fact that they're almost certainly trackable by whoever gave them to us. If you like convenience at the price of intrusion, that's a personal choice.

Also: this board is insecure.
You would be best assuming your "anonymous" posts are hardly masking your identity, if all you're doing is using the "post as anonymous" function. Same for private posts.
...
Though, to be honest, most of your private messages are more personally embarrassing than a security issue.

That's all the warnings from me.

[ And because he's a bit curious if there's anybody who's into coding or hacking like he is, he inserts here a chunk of encrypted text: complex enough that one almost certainly couldn't decrypt it just with pen and paper, but easy enough that a simple program could brute-force decrypt it. The decrypted message is literally just the first sentence of his post: "Hello, my name is PLAYMAKER." He figures if it's up anybody's alley, just seeing encrypted text should be enough to lure them in.

Also, he might unironically be behind 7 proxies right now. Paranoid? A little, it comes with the vocation. ]
