Sezuri-Kai II

[buggereye]

[remember those funny seashells from a few days ago? well, they're still on the beach. except this time, there is a hobo sitting near them, keeping an eye on them, the lake itself, and on anyone who happens to walk by. he is also pecking at his keyboard very, very slowly.]

ADVISORY: shouldn't approach beach. Sezuri-kai present. Not strictly

... hohhhhhhh ...

So this--is the "mushi" that Ginko-san has mentioned ... ?

[dareyuudream]

Is this your first time seeing them?

[samplemywares]

I must confess--that is so.

[dareyuudream]

Not as exciting, is it?

[samplemywares]

But still interesting.

[dareyuudream]

I doubt the ones already affected by it would say the same.

[samplemywares]

Perhaps they should consider it a ... learning experience.

[dareyuudream]

What would be the lesson, I wonder.

[samplemywares]

That, ah ...

Perhaps it would depend on--the one inflicted.

[dareyuudream]

You don't think there's a common lesson?

[samplemywares]

If there is one, perhaps ... it is one for them to discover.

[buggereye]

That's right.

[samplemywares]

So they've come even here ...

[buggereye]

[quiet for a long, long moment]

I'm sure they have a reason to be here.

[samplemywares]

Ahhhhh.

And--since you are the expert ... why do you think that is?

[buggereye]

[stares out at the lake]

There are multiple possibilities. ... but it's most likely that they were attracted. They've probably been here for a while already, before they even came up on shore.
