[ Jakotsu has found the most important things in life. He now owns some make-up and a phone, which allows him to host this broadcast and proudly appear on video. His hair is still down as upon arrival and sadly enough his clothes are the normal prison suit, but at least his lips shine brightly red and his eyelashes are nicely dark and full of volume. This way he feels much more comfortable speaking to everyone. ]

Helloo~ [ He actually waves at the video camera. ]

This is Jakotsu-sama speaking! I've probably met some of you already, but I own a phone now so all of this introduction stuff is much easier.

Just showing my face to you would probably have been a great video already, but I've got some questions, too.

First! Money! Aside from these games or whatever they put us in, is there any other way to get some? Like, aside of being a sales assistant or something equally boring.

And second... you all act like the majority in here is wrongly convicted. What's with that? I agree this place is awful, but did you seriously just end up here by accident?

[ He tilts his head curiously. If anything he'd have thought talking about crime in prison would be easier than out of it, but a lot of people he'd met were complete goody two-shoes. It struck him as terribly odd. ]

There's always someone needing a hand outside, too.

That's what got you here, isn't it. [That's not a question.] There's not much risk in the business now that you're here.

It may be.

[ He'll answer anyway. ]

Most people hiding their crimes are probably trying to be unassuming.

That won't work for you.

It won't.

You're good at figuring people out, aren't you?

I don't think it takes much insight to say that you stand out.

Hehe, that's flattering!

You're... welcome?

[He meant for that to come out more flat, a nice bland, unreadable "You're welcome." with a clean period, but since it's real time verbal, he's not sure he exactly feels good about complimenting implicitly violent criminals, even if it is probably better for his survival than offending them.]

[ And Jakotsu laughs. The uncertainty in Mikami's tone might have been a mistake. Now he had raised his likability in the eyes of Jakotsu and with him, that's not as positive as with other people. ]

You sound cute!

[Before he can stop it, there's a quiet but decidedly audible, uncomfortable noise.] Nngh... That's less than flattering.

Why? Are you too proud for that?

[ People who give interesting responses to his flirting are the most interesting kinds of people to Jakotsu. He wouldn't call it toying with someone, but in the end it's kind of like that. ]

No, pride isn't the problem, but...

[Somehow being 'cute' in prison seems like an indictment or a curse more than a compliment.]

[ It is. Sorry. ]

Tehe, then just accept it!

My break is over. If you'll excuse me....
