Kaoru 2 [video]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Is it true that it's June already over here? It's just that when I left home it was November, so I can't figure out whether I've gone back six months or forward...

Oh, by the way. I was so busy running around like a lunatic when I got here, I never got a chance to introduce myself. So hi, I guess. My name's Kaoru. I guess I'm stuck here, huh?

Time doesn't...really matter here. People come from all points in history in their various dimensions to here.

And yes, you're stuck.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

I wish I could take that kind of view myself. But then I start thinking about what was going on at home when I left and that makes it kind of hard to. I'm trying though!

[slight chuckle] I kind of knew... I guess I just needed someone to confirm it.

[ergaleomancer]

It comes with time, sad to say. But don't let it get you down.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

I'll do my best. I'm sure it'll get better, I just have to get used to it.

It's a bit disorienting, at first. But yeah, it's June. [Ah, how time flies, he thinks.]

But 'stuck' is such a negative way of putting it. [A smile as Naoki rubs at his neck sheepishly, looking down into the feed.] I'd say 'temporarily displaced'. You never know when you're going to be sent back, after all.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Oh! Okay! [not quite sure what to think of that. It should be his and Hikaru's birthday this month. He'll have to think that one through later. For now, he laughs easily, grinning] Ah, that's true, that's true! Temporarily displaced for the meantime, then!

Have you been displaced for very long, stranger-san~?

[video]

[scalethetower]

[P-pff, 'stranger-san'. Naoki seems flustered, then grins.] It's Naoki. And long enough, I suppose.

[Pause--] A year? B-but, don't take me as an example. I only know a couple who've been here as long as I have.

[video]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[nods and smiles] Naoki-san, then~! Nice to meet you!

...I must be speaking to all the wrong people, most people I've spoken to have said a year. But... I guess it can't be so bad, if everyone's doing okay. I'll get settled.

If you could figure out if you've got into the past or the future, we might actually get one step closer to figuring out how we all got here.

And sadly, you are stuck here for now. But there's plenty of people around to lend a hand if you need any help!

[video]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[grins] Well, if it's already June. Usually it would be our birthday coming up but... [shrugs] Although I'd normally say any excuse for a celebration, if it's the same one as last time it's not worth celebrating again.[and he doesn't exactly fancy celebrating alone, either]

[with an easy laugh] I suppose there could be worse people to be stuck with~! And you are...?

[video]

[mykidiscuter]

Our? I take it you have a twin?

Oh, sorry! Maes Hughes, at your service!

[video]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[nods] Yeah. Hikaru and I were sixteen last birthday [chuckles] I don't exactly feel that old...

Ah, nice to meet you! I've been asking this a lot, but have you been here long?

[voicelessengel]

[Plays with her feed a bit and tilts her head when she notices someone's kind of just as confused as she was when she first came here.]

[Video]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[waves and smiles at] Hi~!

[Video]

[voicelessengel]

[Gasps with her wings fluffing up and drops her device to hide her face behind her hands.]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[worried] Hey, hey... I didn't mean to scare you. Come back?
