[The NV flickers on to a pane of glass, behind which are a number of mattreses and futons, labeled with appropriate prices. An observant person will notice Neji's reflection in the window, and even more so, the strip of dark cloth pulled across his forehead rather than his headband. Pale fingers tap the glass and he turns away]I suppose what I have

Anything unusual like what?

[Blink, Neji directs the screen away from the papers he's looking over.]

This world's definition of 'strange' is rather encompassing of most things, I suppose. But in this case, I refer to anything that may have occured over the course of arrivals during these short transitions: from late afternoon to the siren's announcement of the beginning of evening, or when the dawn is announced- those strict few minutes if you've observed them.

You mean besides the usual- monsters appearing and vanishing, things getting all run down outside, water coming out of the pipes all rusty and clearing up after dawn?

[Video]

[heavenly_earth]

Yes, other than the obvious, if you recall anything.

[madeinoblivion]

Nothing too weird, no. I've been out right during the change pretty often.

[Video]

[heavenly_earth]

I see. That's unfortunate, in that case. If the prelude could lead to the source...

[Video]

[madeinoblivion]

What do you mean, lead to the source?

If oddities could be traced back to where they originated from, in other words, we could attempt to sort out how to prevent the Darkness itself.

[madeinoblivion]

I think that us newcomers are the biggest oddities from other worlds. But we show up on that field at all times of the day.

[Video]

[heavenly_earth]

Although notable, I'm not terribly interested in that aspect at the moment. It's not as though reversing it would be possible.

[Video]

[madeinoblivion]

So then what kind of oddities are you looking for?

[Video]

[heavenly_earth]

[A little sigh, somewhat frustrated, he pinches the bridge of his nose, eyes closing temporarily and he looks tired for a moment.]

..Anything I might be able to do something about. The Darkness is one of those possibilities, as I don't have the faintest idea how to go about managing people from different worlds altogether.

If something easy could be done about it, don't you think someone in the city would have figured that one out already?

[But the boy only takes a few moments to sound scornful- then he's back to thoughtful, because the darkness is a serious enough topic.]I do know a few things about the darkness. Whatever you think you've destroyed one night comes right back in the next. Madder at you, some of them must remember you, I'm pretty sure my head isn't making that up

[A raised eyebrow] I never pretended it was simple. Each individual has their own capabilities, however.

But that's information I wasn't previously aware of to those extents. I'll be certain to look into them- though in the cases of the creatures, that will come later and likely upon experience. That guide and the technology used to keep them out of secured places is interesting...

...Riku says that I became like a monster in the darkness once.

[heavenly_earth]

...I'm sorry?
