Canon is Log Horizon

[swordsaintseta]

Finally ready to do this? Just say the word- although...I guess it would help to know where we would be going, huh?

I guess I'm already kind of used to being stuck in another world, so being thrown somewhere else shouldn't be too bad, right? Sounds exciting, actually! Do you think I'll find any of the others?

You are here, too?

I haven't been able to make much of this place yet, but I suppose it could be an adventure, depending on how you look at it.

[swordsaintseta]

Ah! Akatsuki-san, isn't it?

I don't see how it could be otherwise. There's so many interesting people around too!

Have you gone anywhere else?

[notashrimp]

And you are Soujiro-san, right? I've come across both you and Nyanta-san so far, but no sign of my lord or the pervert.

I haven't gone anywhere yet, but my mundane wants to. [ To which she doesn't look exceedingly excited about as of yet. ] Have you met anyone interesting?

[ But she's curious now. ]

[swordsaintseta]

Mn! That's right!

[ He blinks, a little confused at first. ] ...oh! Naotsugu-san, right? I haven't seen anyone else, myself. You're the first!

My mundane isn't sure where I should go either, yet. I haven't been around here long enough to meet anyone else yet, though.

Sometimes, the journey is far more important than the destination. And perhaps you'll find that along the way?

And I suspect, as time goes on, we shall see more and more of our comrades. My own mundane refers frequently to "enabling", which sounds suspect but might well be a good thing for us in the long run.

[swordsaintseta]

That's true... Well, I look forward to it, wherever it might take me! I'm just concerned about my guild- I wouldn't want to leave them alone.

I'd very much like to see the others. I've heard about this "enabling" business, though, and it sounds like it could be fun!

Are you going to go anywhere, Chief? That strange city named after a sea creature, perhaps?

[2blades9lives]

While I wouldn't confess to being an expert on these matters, it appears in some cases our absence is not noticed in our home worlds. I believe our guilds would be safe, regardless of what these mundanes plan for us.

It appears "enabling" has something to do with responding to players from our own world when mundanes are uncertain as to whether or not they will continue to play them. Though I have learned there are other kinds as well, which I am not as familiar with.

I do believe my mundane has given it some consideration! Has yours done the same? It does sound intriguing, I must admit.

[swordsaintseta]

Really? Well, that's a relief to hear! I wouldn't want them to worry about me, not to mention that I don't want to be away from them if something were to happen.

Hm, that's what I've thought it to be. I wasn't aware there were other ways to "enabling." It sounds more complicated than I thought!

Oh... Well, your mun probably knows how crazy my mun is- so unless one of the others she has over there leaves, there's really no room for me over there, unfortunately.

[2blades9lives]

At least we can also say, with some confidence, that our friends are fully capable of handing almost any situation that may arise, especially if Shiroe is with them. Still, I would prefer to be there to lend my aid.

It does sound quite complex. Then again, perhaps to our mundanes the menus we navigate so easily would be difficult.

I believe my own is waiting to see whether or not there will be ample free time for all of the various activities he wishes to take part in. It's probably fortunate, for both of them, that Elder Tale is not available in their world. [He chuckles to himself... some people really can get carried away with online gaming.]

[swordsaintseta]

Ah! That's very true! If Shiro-sempai's around, then I know that everyone will be in good hands. You're right though, all the same, I'd like to be with my friends when I can.

That's a good way to look at it, now that you mention it! In that case, maybe it's just something to be learned by practice, just like with getting used to the game?

Mm, I see, I see! [He strokes his chin, nodding in a pseudo-sagelike gesture.] Heh heh, I guess I'd have to agree on that!
