( EICHI )

[lotusbloom]

( continued )

[ That's not really what Keito would consider easy... In fact, the idea of having to wait until until he turns into a cat to know if he will turn into a cat sounds downright cumbersome. But Eichi isn't talking like he's teasing, which means he's probably telling the truth, which means just dealing with it. Great.

But apparently he might end up with magic? Once again, Keito openly stares. For a moment, he can only nod in response when Eichi ends with 'you see?' ]

I do.

[ He kind of wants an additional demonstration, but he already has the impression that it makes Eichi tired, so he refrains. ]

Any other changes I should be aware of?

[finethanks]

...Ah, about that... Yes, but...

[Hm. There's a long pause where he considers that, leaning into Keito as his eyes drift off to the side. Ah. He could put it casually? No, he's not even bold enough to do that, right now. Not while he's dealing with the moon currently.]

I'm not sure how to go about explaining it. It's embarrassing, you know? Can I leave it at "changes that encourage physical intimacy?"

[lotusbloom]

[ ............. ]

Does that have anything to do with the mirrors allowing us to converse with one another, or all the drinks that have been spiked, or the tree that forces people to hold hands?

[ He sounds perfectly annoyed with all of that, but not as disturbed or disbelieving as he might have otherwise. He's had an illuminating few days since arriving. ]

[finethanks]

You really have been having a fun time without me, haven't you? I'm sad that I missed it.

[Eichi please. He hums in his thought.]

Let's see, for example... Some of the people that I've met under the influence of a different moon have described a feeling of hunger that's so intense, and isn't solved by food. A hunger deeper than that... You can understand that, can't you? I'm certain you've read more than enough manga with that sort of plot line.

hit the books

[pubertytwice]

<sub>[ The library was a very much sought after place for Five. There really wasn't a moment where he was at peace unless alcohol was running through his bloodstream, and even then, it was debatable if he was really at peace.. besides being found conked out on the side of the street. Only then it was certain.

He had a mission to dissect as many books as he possibly can, but between his own coffee breaks and meeting up with potential "underlings" as he liked to call them, he was finding he was lacking time to do everything he wanted to do in the library.

Imagine that. A time traveler lacking time.

The shaky leg does definitely get his attention, but only because it's very akin to his own restlessness, fingers rapping repeatedly on the end of the book he was looking at. Quantum Physics & You, which was already boring him to death from being so elementary. He finally shut the book and clenched his jaw, shoving it aside with some kind of mutter. ]</sub>

Children's play.

_{[ He finally casts a glance to the young looking man across the table. He hadn't seen him in these parts.. which only indicated a new arrival which also held the potential for more knowledge. Keito looked like a teenager, maybe with not much life experience in Five's eyes, but it was worth reaching out to. ]}

I don't know what you're looking for, but I might could help you.

_{[ Or you know, direct the teen elsewhere. He knows this place up and down at this point. ]}

[lotusbloom]

[ Five's muttering doesn't get Keito's attention, but his sudden offer does. Keito looks, leg falling still as a thoughtful expression crosses his face. After a moment of thought, he closes his own book - something about meditation. ]

You might. Are you from a planet called earth, by any chance?

[pubertytwice]

What's left of it, yes.
_{[ Sorry. He just talks like this sometimes. ]}

There's a likelihood we're from the same Earth, just different time lines, but also a likelihood we aren't. I'm assuming you want assistance with something having to do with Earth on a broader spectrum?

_{[ Kid talks too mature for his appearance. ]}

[lotusbloom]

[ 'What's left of it'...?

Actually, he doesn't want to know - not right now, at least. He'll ask later, maybe once he's figured out why Five talks like he's a lawyer and not a middle schooler. ]

More or less. I've already noticed some similarities between this place and earth since arriving. I was wondering if you knew of any works that either explore or catalogue any other commonalities between the two.

( ATSUSHI )

[lotusbloom]

( continued )

Really. You're the Atsushi Nakajima?

[ He clearly doesn't believe it, but he's not going to accuse him of lying just yet. ]

This must be an especially confusing place for you, then.

[tigerpoet]

When you say it like that it makes me sound more noteworthy than I am, really...

[he knows you don't believe it but he still has to downplay his own works]

It would be worse if I hadn't been summoned to modern Japan before this, but it still does take some getting used to.

[lotusbloom]

There are only so many people from the Taishou period whose works I read in school.

[ You're pretty important, dude. ]

But... summoned? Did someone try to resurrect you, or something?

[tigerpoet]

[But he's not Dazai or Akutagawa or Natsume or Kyouka or-]

Well, I'm not sure how if I'd say 'try' since I'm here... but yes.

( WEISS )

[lotusbloom]

( continued )

[ Now there's something that catches Keito's attention. ]

Musicals?

[ That's closer to being Hibiki's forte than his own, but he's still perfectly familiar with them. ]

Are you an actress, then?

[schmisse]

I'm a singer.

[ Well, it's not her profession back home, but she definitely has the talent to go pro. ]

Though I joined a theatre group here. I started dabbling in acting to I could participate in musicals.

[lotusbloom]

[ Weiss is turning out to be a kindred spirit in more way than one. ]

We might end up crossing paths often, then. I'm not a professional yet, but I recently graduated from a school for the performing arts.

[schmisse]

What did you focus on?

[ She may not have gone to an art school, but she knows art schools have paths, as do most schools. ]

( MIDORIMA )

[lotusbloom]

( continued )

[ Midorima may not realize it, but he's touched on a subject that Keito's been curious about for a while now. ]

Out of curiosity, what sort of phone did you have?

[accurately]

A green flip phone.

[ That's so non-specific. Midorima isn't great at technology anyway though, you should see the print club he accidentally ruined to Takao's amusement. ]

[lotusbloom]

... That's pretty old, isn't it?

[ Not that Keito is really here to judge; he just met someone that died before 1950. ]

[accurately]

I use it for texts and phone calls. Anything further is unnecessary.

[ Flip phones aren't super uncommon in Japan anymore, but Midorima in particular is his own case. Either way, he isn't going to deny that it's not the most hip and cool phone choice, so it's probably obvious that he's not from an unmodern age. ]

( MAKOTO )

[lotusbloom]

( continued )

[ Makoto is so... reasonable. ]

We should probably sit. We're too likely to hurt one another if we walk around like this.

[ It's also embarrassing - but more importantly: ]

Yuuki, there's such a thong as being too agreeable. If the situation doesn't bother you then that's fine, but if it does you should say something.

[amodelidol]

Hmm? Oh! This doesn't bother me. Well, it's weird that we can't separate our hands right now, but it's not like it's too bad. It's not a stranger I'm stuck to it's you! So, it makes it a little bit easier.

[The cat ears on top of Makoto's head twitched while he messed with the end of his shirt with his other hand.]

Um, does it bother you that we're stuck together? I tried to pick something to make it easier for you.

[While he does get along better with Keito, it's not like they hang out a lot so Makoto didn't want to assume.]

[lotusbloom]

[ That's right, Makoto has ears, too... Keito's been stubbornly refusing to look at them, but that twitch draws his attention.

Still, he'll just keep it in mind, rather than pointing it out. ]

I'm not happy to be stuck to anyone - but it's much better that it's you than someone else.

[amodelidol]

[The ears has taken some time to get used to. Makoto couldn't believe he had them the first time he saw them. He hasn't made complete peace with them yet, even if he was aware that they existed.

Oh, that was a much nicer answer than Makoto expected!]

I worried that it was going to be someone I didn't know, but I'm glad it's someone I know. When did you get here, Hasumi-senpai?
