[Riku is still trying to get over the prospect of being related to 3483843 people, and he's therefore been walking around the city all by his lonesome, thinking about said experience. Eventually this particular jumble of thoughts manage to make it to the second level:]

I had two dads. I didn't know who they were before it all happened, but... [He

[humallelujah]

I didn't really know any of the people I was "related" to, either.

[versuslight]

I guess I did know some of them. My girlfriend was one of my sisters, for example...

[humallelujah]

... That had to have been awkward.

[versuslight]

It wasn't so awkward at the time, but now... [makes a face] yeah.

[knowsacrifice]

I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

[versuslight]

I'm really starting to agree with you.

[knowsacrifice]

You should. I'm always right.

[versuslight]

Sorry, I guess that must've slipped my mind.

[booyaka_baby]

Unfortunately, it looks like normal is sort of subjective around here.

[versuslight]

... No kidding.

[booyaka_baby]

It could be worse. ...I think.

[versuslight]

Don't say that, Selphie, or it'll get worse.

[twisted_lilac]

What sort of thing do you think would be 'normal' here? I am having a little trouble coming up with that answer...

[versuslight]

Anything boring would be considered normal. [pause] I can't even remember what normal is anymore, to be honest.

[twisted_lilac]

... If it is something boring, then although that is normal... would it not also be more difficult to notice and appreciate?

... Though I admit, I also cannot quite recall what is normal. Or at the least, what is normal and 'happens'... Perhaps a parade, or a festival?

[versuslight]

I never appreciated boredom before I came here. In fact I used to do everything it took to escape it.

... [Thinks briefly on this.] I think that kinda thing would be normal, you know... as long as nobody starts sniping us from inside one of the floats or something.

[unstableflames]

There's no such thing as normal.

[versuslight]

As much as I want to agree, I know there's gotta be a line of normality somewhere...

[unstableflames]

Well there isn't. You'd save yourself a lot of time remembering that.

[versuslight]

Still not sure I agree with you there, lady.
