48 - the world keeps turning

[sore_feet_man]

I wasn't going to take that hike, and it might've made the change back easier if I hadn't, but... I kept remembering what a good friend said to me. In the end, I am glad I went. It isn't so bad being in the darkness, remembering the light. Thanks for humoring me, Kyouya

Syaoran really is a nice and determined person...

Mokona will drink with Ginko.

[sore_feet_man]

Hm. Thanks, Mokona-sensei.

To Syaoran, yeah?

[mokomanjuu]

Uh-huh!

To Syaoran!

((OOC: *Thread jump*))

I never met him, but he must be a pretty great guy~! *Hands Mokona and Ginko the cups 'o tea*

[cherrygloves]

You earned a promotion too, huh?

It's about time...

[sore_feet_man]

Yes, it was a little surprising; I've missed work so many times. I suppose they understand how chaotic things can be with the random strange phenomena always occurring here. I really couldn't have done it without my trust-worthy assistant, Syaoran.

You received a promotion as well, Sakura?

[cherrygloves]

Yeah, they would...

Yeah, I'm a research assistant - they've actually started letting me know more than "don't touch that, it will melt your face off" and "that needs to be scraped off with a wet cloth".

[sore_feet_man]

I see; congratulations to you.

She sounds . . . like a very good person.

[filter]

[sore_feet_man]

Indeed. She could've hated her situation, her curse, and yet... I'd never met someone who celebrated so much a harmonious relationship between mushi and humans before.

You know... You look a little like her.

[roseofcaerleon]

What did she look like . . . ?

[filter]

[sore_feet_man]

She had short, straight hair like yours. *glances at Priscilla's face with his green eye, and then turns away again* ...I think she was older than you, though. Still, you both hold yourselves the same way. Like a noble who wishes she weren't a noble...

((Strikes unhackable~ :3))

[heroic_commoner]

Are you okay?

[sore_feet_man]

I have been more confident about everything than I am now. I'll live, though.

[heroic_commoner]

...are you sure I'd really be a good assistant? I don't really know anything about teaching.

[sore_feet_man]

Don't worry, I just need help keeping things organized, and occasionally to help grade assignments if things get hectic. I'll show you what to do.

No more than four hours a week of your time, ten bucks an hour. Think of all the sushi you could buy with that extra cash.

[hunterxofxrare]

You met a lot of interesting people, didn't you?

I'd be happy to drink tea with you. Would you like me to make some right now?

[sore_feet_man]

That'd be nice, Mistral, thank you. I'm sure Mokona would like some, too.

((they're up in the first thread, if you wanted to find a way to join or anything, but we could just say they did :3))
