I wonder why it is the people here hate us so much. You'd think they could be the least be grateful for something like saving their lives. [sigh] Didn't need a thanks but getting yelled at?

Anyway. How's everyone doing? Anyone have any clues yet about that second poem on the bulletin board?

Have you tried talking to them to find out why?

Aaaa I've never really been any good at poems and riddles, sorry!

[voice]

[heartbetween]

Never directly asked them, no. But they're not really all too approachable, anyway. Seem to bristle whenever we try to talk to them.

Ahah, no worries. We'll find out soon enough, I'm sure. Are you new? Don't think we've met.

[voice]

[a_royal_flush]

Hmm maybe that's all they needs is for someone to try approaching them? You never know unless you try, right?

Yeah, how did you guess I was? I'm Yuuri, Shibuya Yuuri.

[voice]

[heartbetween]

Not sure how much more you can do to approach a completely random stranger than catch them while they're falling off a building, you know?

I just hadn't talked to you before, so I figured. Guess it's a good thing I wasn't wrong--I'm fairly new too. Only about two weeks so far.

Kaien Shiba. Nice to meet you, Yuuri!

[voice]

[a_royal_flush]

Eeeeeh?! You did that? [there's definitely a sound of awe in his voice]

You're new as well? It's strange that there are so many of us trapped here at the same time against our will. I've never seen that happen before.

It's nice to meet you too, Kaien!

[voice]

[heartbetween]

It wasn't too big a deal, really. I was right there, so.

[a light sigh] But I guess the ability to stand in midair being weird was more important to him than not being dead.

Yeah, it is a bit weird, innit? I'm sure we'll find our way out soon enough, though.

You settling in all right, Yuuri? Got a job or anything yet?

[voice]

[a_royal_flush]

Oooowwwoooaaah! You can stand in midair?! That's amazing! [has completely been distracted from the original topic]

Mmmhm, yeah it is. I wonder what the purpose of it all is?

Umm I haven't gotten a job yet. I'm still trying to find my feet [he laughs somewhat sheepishly at this] but I'm getting by without any problems!

[voice]

[heartbetween]

It's not that special, really! All shinigami can do it.

Me too. Maybe there isn't one, even.

Well, that's good to hear, at least! If you need a meal sometime before you get a job, stop by the ramen shop; I'll buy you a bowl, Yuuri~ [Enter hours he works here]

[voice]

[a_royal_flush]

Ooooh I see [there's a few seconds delay before the implication to the title finally settles in] Shinigami?! [he exclaims loudly as the sound of him dropping and fumbling the Forge is heard]

There has to be a purpose. I don't believe that we were all just brought here for no reason.

Eeeh, really? You'd do that for me? Woooaah you're so nice, Kaien!

[ooc: he's so inviting trouble with that offer XD]

[voice]

[heartbetween]

Yeah. [chuckles] You know what a shinigami is?

I guess so. But it might just end up being something like boredom, on the part of whoever brought us. Or, hmm. I read that the Door used to be some kind of ancient artifact--maybe it's just malfunctioning or something?

[And a grin, there] Of course! Just drop me a line, and I'd be happy to.

[ooc: Is he now? xDDD]

[voice]

[a_royal_flush]

Um... [there's a slight hesitation in his voice before he laughs nervously] ...a shinigami where I'm from is the God of Death.

Oh! I read about that! Isn't the Mist making it that way? I wonder that if we can get rid of the Mist, then maybe the door might start working properly again. If that happens, we could go home, right?

Woooah, I'll definitely keep that in mind! But I don't have anything to repay your kindness.

[ooc: But of course XD Yuuri latches onto just about anyone lulz so he might be in trouble ;D]
