[ Did somebody invite Mr Loose Cannon? Did he simply hear about it? Or has he wandered in entirely by chance?! Who cares! The better question is why is Izou currently looking at a seven foot tall man clad entirely in a bad knock-off mascot costume? And why are there what looks suspiciously like blood splatters all across the chest and face of the costume? Because LILITH's technology sucks and maybe he had a snack on the way here, don't worry about it.

Godzilla himself is wondering why Izou is playing stupid. They've meet before (granted he was shorter in his human-guise then since it was holographic and not physical but still...!) Why is he acting like they don't know each other!

He crosses his arms and snorts, smoke bellowing out from the mouth of the costume. ]

I am Godzilla. That is my dental credits, as you term them. Direct me to those who are causing disharmony so I might remove them.

[hitokiller]

Dental credits?

( squaring off with the one man who won't correct him, izou repeats the botched phrase loudly. that's a name he recognizes.

in fact, it's a name anyone employed under LILITH ought to have familiarized themselves with by now, and he squints at the big guy with a clearly judging gaze. )

And I'm Okada Izou, famous manslayer, but you don't see me skippin' over the paperwork part.

( actually— )

Credentials. That's the stuff you're good at.

[30storieshigh]

Bah! Worked paper. What usage does it hold outside the lairs of academia?

[ Another snort of smoke and a roll of his eyes. Not that... Izou can see that with the giant monkey mask on, but it might translate into his tone a little. ]

If that is what you wished to know then state as such. I hunt, I battle, I kill, I destroy. These are my "Credentials". Things of use against the rotted aspects of humanity within the city, yes?

[hitokiller]

Hunting. You're makin' this sound like a sport.

( academia, huh. fair enough. and literal paper is hard to come by... )

I know well enough that killing folks can change a lot, but we're tryin' to run a... clean, agency here. Mostly.

How do you feel about ( squints at his display, ) stuff involving donation drives for the maltreated?

[30storieshigh]

Hmm.

[ Clean, huh? Godzilla knows plenty of ways to end a life without making it a mess but context implies that's probably not at all what Izou means. Filing that one away for later. This next part though, he's got this! ]

Ah! Yes. I have of recent been provided with a two wheeled powered transport. I am as yet inexperienced in its operation, however I have no issue taking on tasks that would require driving it.

[ It went completely over his head and he has no idea. Help. ]

[hitokiller]

( this guy... "two-wheeled transport"?

not that izou is the expert on goodwill or anything. the blind leading the blind, as it were. he waves a hand. )

You don't need none of that to drive, long as you don't hit nobody. But I meant more, like... collectin' supplies and food for people.

( the stuff he doesn't want to be in charge of. hmm. )

[30storieshigh]

If driving is not of involvement than why use the term... bah, humans.

[ He just shakes his head in baffled exasperation. Why can't people ever just say what they mean? ]

The procurement of supplies is... not precisely my fort's tea. [forte] One supposes it would be simple enough however. It is a matter of finding the right humans to gather the supplies from, yes?

[hitokiller]

Don't look at me. I didn't make up the words.

( in any language, that is. )

Nah, it's more like... you gather folks, and then they bring supplies to you. That make sense?

[30storieshigh]

Ah! I see.

[ He snaps his fingers... or tries to. Gorilla costume doesn't exactly lend itself to that but he tries. ]

Subordinates, underlings. You would have me gather a pack for the purpose of supplying those in need. This is the intent?

[hitokiller]

... Yeah. I think.

( he's losing track of the big picture here. )
