Misaki!? Don't tell me the ten-year bazooka ended up in your world!

[chasingstars201]

The--what? My world? Who are you!? [Fffff it's one thing to have vaguely Japanese-looking people know who she is, but wtf foreigner knows her too?]

[buckingbronco]

The ten year bazooka. I explai......what do you mean who am I? You know me.

[buckingbronco]

[Sighs] I do know you, or at least the future version of you.

[chasingstars201]

Well that isn't me, then.
