homeless, can be persuaded

H-Hello... it's been a while, hasn't it? Have you been well? I know your country gets very cold this time of year, so I hope you're taking care of yourself...

...Huh? You think you might be able to play me more again? D-Do you mean it? But aren't you busy...? Not that I mind, of course!

I'd... I'd like that a lot actually...

I HAVEN'T PLAYED HIM IN FOREVER BE GENTLE

[world_hack]

Hey, that's great Chihiro!

Though I dunno... aren't most games kinda dangerous these days?

ONLY IF YOU'RE GENTLE BACK

[xss]

Oh, Atsuro-san!

A-Are they...? The last game I was at was really nice, so I thought most games were like that...

[...tbh though it's probably still better than the school of mutual killing. and well. being dead.]

[world_hack]

I can't say, the only game I was in was pretty bad... But most of the games my mun keeps mentioning are like that or-

[COUGHCOUGHRED]

ACTUALLY NEVER MIND THAT- do you have someplace you'd WANT to go?

[xss]

[UNSURE.... YOU'RE JUST WORRYING HIM ATSURO]

Um... I don't really know... We were thinking about this one place, but it looks like it's closing soon...

I just want to be some place that's far away from that school... with my friends there, hopefully. [he knows that one might be asking for too much. they never came at the other game, but that one day where they were there was pretty great...]

[world_hack]

I guess anywhere would be away from your school. Well except that one. But maybe somewhere without all the... ya know, rampant screaming death? So not like, the Box. Maybe... something like Route? Man are there even any laid back games around anymore?

[taptap tapping away]

[xss]

Yeah... nothing like that. Mun doesn't like those kinds of games either.

[...o 3o?]

What are you doing?

[world_hack]

Just searching what's available. The mun is pretty outta loop with what's actively running these days, after all.

[he turns his laptop slightly so he can see]

[xss]

Oh! [ATSURO YOU ARE SO HELPFUL] I see! [leans in to get a better view of the screen]

Um... [fidget fidget] Thank you so much for helping me like this, Atsuro-san...

[world_hack]

[He turns a little red, omg Chihiro yer so cute he can't handle]

D-don't worry about it.

Hmmm... there's a new Pokemon Dungeon game opening up, though those have had bad luck... Oh! A Star Wars game!

[His eyes sparkle]

Adventuring across space with Jedi, oh man that's so cool!

1/2

[xss]

Oh! I've seen those movies!

[xss]

[but then he starts to look dejected]

I... probably wouldn't fit in in a game like that though... I'd just slow everyone down...

[world_hack]

[Oh now he feels bad]

N-no, I'm sure that's not true! Even if you're not very big I bet you could be helpful...

And think about all the amazing things you could see! You probably could help with the droids or something and stay outta any real fighting.

[xss]

I suppose so. [still not feeling like material to hang out with jedis though ; w ;] I don't think my mun really likes those movies anyway though...

M-Maybe we should just play in private... or something like that.

[world_hack]

Hmmm, if that's what you wanna do. You know I'd be up for that, right?

...though now I'm picturing that Pokemon game. Heh, I bet you'd make a good pokemon.

[lonely_wolf]

What kind of game? I've heard they're not all great to be in.

[xss]

I don't know... some place that's hopefully nice...

[lonely_wolf]

It might be nice to be in one. My mun hasn't put many people anywhere, but... maybe in a game, I wouldn't have to hide things like I do at home. And maybe it's a good place to make friends. What about you?

[xss]

Hide things...?

[whoa that hit close to home. but he doesn't want to seem nosy or pry...]

I-I... I just want to be safe and alive again... and with my friends if possible...

[lonely_wolf]

It's... a personal thing. Don't worry.

Maybe they're out there. I mean, who knows? Sorry, I'm not too good at the whole encouraging thing.
