I was wondering if there was anyone from Ikebukuro around here?

Comments

[sortaheadstrong]

Well... 'from' wouldn't be the word... but I have been living there for a while. Are you from there, or just curious?

[Added after a while and some extra thought]

[sortaheadstrong]

This isn't Izaya or Shizuo, is it?

[ofthemotions]

[ Was going to just respond normally but-- ]

Both of them are here?

[ Added. ]

That doesn't seem... healthy.

[sortaheadstrong]

IT ISN'T HEALTHY!!

[pen taps]

Though... I haven't seen any destruction... at least for a while...

[rolling_go]

I'm from Ikebukuro!

Maybe we'll meet up sometime. It's hard to find any familiarity in this place. Any urban legends that you've heard lately?

His day has been made

[rolling_go]

Yeah? I'd really like that! I usually sit by myself, so if you ever need an open seat... I'm pretty short, kinda stocky, with spiky black hair...

Urban legends... Well, I know one, but it's more for [hesitation marks galore!] pulling in women...

awesome =)

[ofthemotions]

I'll say hello if I see you. It's nice to find people from the same place. I guess...

[ Pen marks. ] Uh. Pulling in like... kidnapping? Or hitting on?

[so anonymous]

[predictator]

Ah, are you from Ikebukuro, too? It seems there are a few of us...

[ofthemotions]

Not originally from, but I've lived there. Are there a few of us? There's not a lot of people that are familiar to me here.

[same handwriting as the previous response]

[predictator]

If you've lived there, you've heard of Heiwajima Shizuo, right? I'm not sure because of the clothes, but I think I saw him.

There have been some people talking about things like Dollars on the board, too.

[slash-out readable]

[ofthemotions]

Ah, yes, I've heard of him. And seen him a few times. Not here, though. It seems I've been missing a few people.

[ .................................Hm.

[cryingweapon]

I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but, are you yourself from Ikebukuro? What's the city like? I've only seen it from above in the air.

[ofthemotions]

No, I'm not from it. I've lived there for awhile, though. It's [ Pen marks as he thinks. ] Big. It's really overwhelming at first. And it's pretty strange, too, to be honest--but it's a nice place. It's very interesting.

[cryingweapon]

It must have been scary at first, moving to an unfamiliar place that's bigger than where you lived before. With so many people and things to do in the city, I bet everyday was busy for you. I used to live in a moderate-sized town away from the city, so most of the time everybody just stayed home since there wasn't much to do. Well, except for school.

Do you mean strange as in, a different kind of lifestyle?

[ofthemotions]

I grew up in a small town, too. There really wasn't anything to do at all. So you're right there.

Uh, strange as in... There's a lot of irregularities in Ikebukuro. Things that are outside the normal border, I guess.

[roseoverture]

Not from Ikebukuro, but my school is close to Tokyo. Considering how far away some people here come from, that's pretty close!

- Tenjou Utena

[ofthemotions]

Ah, that is close. Thank you for sharing.
