What is this, a joke?

Kai definitely had something to do with this, didn't he? It's not every day that you wake up, walk outside, barrel into a giant exploding spider, and call it a normal day.  Must be a dream, then.  Pretty realistic one.

So, which way's the most direct to Tokyo?

Apparently this isn't even Earth.

[nikuplz]

.....

Not even Earth. Are you serious?

[d_dreiberg]

Yes, I am.

Someone told me that this was another world entirely. I don't know anything other than that, though.

[nikuplz]

Kai is dead when I see him.

Anything I should know about this place, other than the exploding spiders?

[d_dreiberg]

I just got here and am now dealing with a friend I thought was dead.

So - I don't have any useful information. I'm just barely keeping it together.

But there are apartments that still have water and power - in the Latimir building. There's an empty room across the hall from mine.

[nikuplz]

As a ghost, huh. Not that they exist.

Thanks. Managed to get an apartment there, second floor.

[d_dreiberg]

No, not a ghost. Real.

Good.

I'm Daniel, by the way.

[nikuplz]

Good. I've had enough of ghosts.

I'm Sowa.

[d_dreiberg]

I thought you said they didn't exist.

What do you do for a living, Sowa?

[nikuplz]

They don't.

I'm a medium.

[d_dreiberg]

A medium, but you don't believe in ghosts.

How do you manage that?

[nikuplz]

Because until science proves it, I won't believe in it.

[d_dreiberg]

I don't really understand, unless you're a scam artist.

[nikuplz]

Our clients come to us to summon spirits, we do it. That doesn't mean I have to believe in what I'm doing.

[d_dreiberg]

So you lie to them.

[nikuplz]

I'm not asked about how I feel about it. My brother summons, and I'm the medium. It's a job.
