I could probably find a use for some of those university books.

[meanestbrother]

You're welcome to them. Not like I could sell them back to the university bookstore in their condition, anyway.

[lightnovelsftw]

Well, as long as they're readable, they'll be a great help.

[meanestbrother]

The covers are a bit warped as are the pages at the edges, but they're perfectly readable.

[vicodincrutch]

Not only are you studious but boring.

[meanestbrother]

...And who are you?

[vicodincrutch]

Greg House, M.D. I'm bored. Possessions say stuff about people. Looks like you have no social life.

[meanestbrother]

A doctor and amateur detective? Or am I getting an analysis for free now?

[concept_killer]

So....normal.

[meanestbrother]

It's almost as if I'm an average university student from the Tokyo area who just happened to drive his bike into a hot spring.

[concept_killer]

What a surprise. Going to Tokyo U.?

[meanestbrother]

Naturally.

The yen aren't usable here, but maybe carry it around in your wallet so that it'll be there if when upon you going home.

I happened to be carrying my drawing stuff with me when I came here, so I was pretty lucky.

[meanestbrother]

I'm aware of that, Sakura explained it. I just thought it would be best to take inventory in case any need of that stuff comes up later.

That is lucky. Drawing means a lot to you, doesn't it?

[doujin_dork]

Ah, that's pretty smart, then.

Yeah. I want to be a professional manga-ka.

[meanestbrother]

I think you're well on your way. I don't know a whole lot about these things, but it seems your lines are good.

[has_huge_talent]

Well, if you are offering, I would certainly like to read it.

[meanestbrother]

Norwegian Wood? My copy of it is pretty badly damaged, but still readable. Haruki Murakami is a legend in his own time, and rightfully so.

[has_huge_talent]

Unfortunately, I have never heard for him. Maybe he is not even alive where I come from? It's so very strange to think of that, still.

[meanestbrother]

It's possible. If you come from a future, past, or timeline different from my world, you may not have been blessed with him. Hopefully the events won't be too alien - it's about a Tokyo college student and his experiences with love during the university riots in the 1960s. I think at least the themes of love and loss are understandable from all perspectives, though.
