Intro

[clumsy_optimist]

[Matsuda enters the hallway. He's carrying a few shopping bags. It's much warmer than it is outside, thankfully. He plops himself down on a bench, taking his jacket off. He reaches into a shopping bag, looking around hesitantly.]

Hey... anyone want shrimp crackers?

[It's a Matt, smoking, barefoot, and with his goggles pushed up onto his forehead. He looks at Matsuda over the top of the paperback he's been walking along reading (Hogfather).]

There's something I don't see every day. Hey.

[ooc: Welcome!]

[clumsy_optimist]

[He clears his throat briefly, peeking at the book.]

M-me or the shrimp crackers? Haha. Is that a good book?

[onlydisappear]

Both, ha.

Yeah, it's good. I've read it a bunch of times. You're Matsuda, but I bet you don't know me. I'm Matt.

[clumsy_optimist]

Ah... nice to meet you, Matt!

[He reads the summary on the back.]

Hey, that does look good! Should look into it... 'tis the season, as they say...

[onlydisappear]

Hey, I guess it is. [He doesn't really keep track of the days.] But start with The Colour of Magic, dude. I'd loan you mine, but I kinda gave it away.

Has anyone told you where you are?

[Matt has appointed himself the guide for mansion newbies. He's here forever, and he doesn't have anything else to do.]

[clumsy_optimist]

[As much as finding his way around seemed like a fun challenge, Matsuda is relieved and thankful that someone is willing to show him around.]

No, not yet! What's around here to do, anything? Any good bars?

[onlydisappear]

Actually, there are. Even a karaoke bar. But it kinda makes you sing.

This is, like, a meeting point for alternate universes, and there are rooms that fuck with you.

[clumsy_optimist]

Oh, I don't mind singing!!

Thanks for the very straightforward explanation!! From what I can tell so far, that sums it up pretty well in just a few words...

[onlydisappear]

No problem, man.

Hey, this is gonna sound weird, but what year is it for you?

[clumsy_optimist]

Ahh, it's 2011. So... everything's pretty much done with. The Kira case, I mean.

[onlydisappear]

So I'm dead, yeah? [Assuming Matsuda even knew who Matt was, which he's never been sure about.] 's okay, I'm dead in my world too.
