Upon arriving at the castle, I found that a guest room had been reserved just for me in the basement. It seems our captor wishes us to enjoy our stay here in his realm, although I can't say that the convenience of having a room can at all make up for the rest of the inconveniences I'll be faced with while I'm here

Mushi?

[oneeyedfish]

Yes... Even though I'm a world away, there seem to be many here as well.

Mushi are...strange neighbors of the human race. They exist somewhere between life and death, and their form and shape is always varied and ambiguous. Just be sure to leave them alone, and they should leave you alone. They don't mean to be dangerous to us, but they still can be.

[orange_renge]

I see.

...

The idea that another world like this Netherworld exists is really something to fathom. I suppose that must lead me to the conclusion that you are from another world entirely different from mine, as well.

Have you seen mushi before in your world? As a shinigami, it makes sense that you'd be able to see them, given how closely linked you are to death...

[orange_renge]

Actually, I haven't seen anything like them before now. Though even before I became a Shinigami I was able to see ghosts and hollows, as well as other Shinigami.

[oneeyedfish]

...When did they show up here in Netherworld, do you remember?

[orange_renge]

Right about when you showed up, I think.

[oneeyedfish]

......

Is that so. *makes a "I'll have to investigate this" face*

[orange_renge]

Yeah, that's right. Why?
