[week 19 | day 3] (accidental video)

[records_of_pain]

[A rustle, and a view of purple cloth, before it's swept away and a view of the sky through the trees of Himorogi emerges, accompanied by the face of a woman with short black hair. It's a little hard to tell, since she's looking up at the trees, but her expression seems to have moved past confusion to shock.]

Impossible- [It's a whisper, her voice

[Oh. Newcomer! Time to get into Greeting Committee mode. So if Tanyuu is looking at the actual screen of her Hitomi, she may now see a young woman with braids and hair rings smiling at her.]

Hello there! Uhm, my voice is coming from the thing you're holding -- the Hitomi. It's an object that allows you to talk to people who may be far away.

My name is Asano Rin, and, ah. I can explain your situation to you!

[video]

[records_of_pain]

[Tanyu peers curiously at the new woman.]

My situation?

[video] backdated, sorry ;;

[revengeisalie]

Ah, yes. You appear to be new here? You're in a place called "Kannagara", and, uhm.

[MEANINGFUL PAUSE.]

There isn't really any way out.

[video] backdating is the best dating

[records_of_pain]

[Pause. She'd heard that already from Ginko, but...]

There really isn't?

[video]

[revengeisalie]

Not as far as I know, no. And I've been here for a good long while.

[video]

[records_of_pain]

[She looks a little concerned at that.] How long?

[video]

[revengeisalie]

About a year now. Maybe slightly longer.

[Yeah, she doesn't sound too happy about it.]

[video] I am so sorry, school ate me

[records_of_pain]

A year? [Tanyu tries not to look to horrified at that, but she's clearly shocked.]

[video] perfectly all right <3

[revengeisalie]

Well, a year and about a month. If I kept track properly.

[Looking very sympathetic here. She knows how Tanyu feels.]

[video] <3

[records_of_pain]

[Tanyu sifts through possible questions, and decides that one is more pressing than others.]

Is it true that...we're still where we came from as well as here? [Not that there's likely any way to prove that, but still.]

[video]

[revengeisalie]

Yes, that is true! At least if the goddess who gave me that bit of information wasn't lying to me.

[video]

[records_of_pain]

Goddess?

[video]

[revengeisalie]

Mh, there's a bunch of so-called deities here that claim themselves in charge. They're doing a decent job of backing up that claim, even if there's been glimpses of other powerful beings that might be on par with them.

[video] ugh finals >.<

[records_of_pain]

...What kind of powers?

[video]

[revengeisalie]

[That... is a good point, actually.]

Well, uh. Stuff like bringing and keeping us here. Changing the landscape. Temporarily warping our minds.

[Ah, but have the gods ever stamped their name on these things openly? It seems like a rare occurrence.]

[video]

[records_of_pain]

Warping our minds? [Tanyu appears to find this understandably concerning.]
