I guess I'm just anxious about going to other places. We all know how well it's worked out for me thus far. Going to new places just seems to be... More work. You know... Puzzles and monsters, mostly.

Puzzles and monsters? Sounds like a good time to me.

[justreceivedahole]

I don't mind the puzzles... It's the monsters I don't really like..

[justiceinheaven]

...there's nothing wrong with new places if you know someone's waiting for you there.

[justreceivedahole]

... I don't think anyone's waiting for me.

[justiceinheaven]

There's got to be someone... don't you have friends? Family?

[justreceivedahole]

[This sure is an awkward pause.]

[justiceinheaven]

[...not awkward, more sad.]

No?

[notjustinthemirror]

Do they usually come as a set?

[justreceivedahole]

[He rubs the back of his head, smiling weirdly.]

Not really.

[justreceivedahole]

For me, it seems like they do.

[justiceinheaven]

[...she understands; she was pretty lonely before her big brother showed up.]

I guess... you'll just have to make some friends.

[justreceivedahole]

Heh, we'll see. I'm not all that good at that sort of thing.

[notjustinthemirror]

This is a problem?

Solve the puzzles, defeat the monsters, you're back where you started.

[justiceinheaven]

I wasn't either, until I met onii-chan.

Sometimes you just need to start talking to somebody.

[justreceivedahole]

Sometimes it's not so easy to do either.

[justreceivedahole]

I... Think that's the hard part.

[notjustinthemirror]

Whine whine whine. That's what everyone in this place does.

Why doesn't anyone just relax. Have a drink or eight. Not worry so much about whatever it is the writer upstairs wants you to do.

[justreceivedahole]

Have you been here a long time..?

[notjustinthemirror]

Long enough. And yourself?

[justreceivedahole]

Apparently the mun has been here a while, but I just got here...

[justiceinheaven]

You're talking to me, aren't you?

[justreceivedahole]

You started talking to me first.

[But hey, his smile is less awkward now]

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako paused, turning a little pink.]

My mundane asked me nicely to... but it's really not that hard.

[justreceivedahole]

For some people, I guess...

1/2

[justiceinheaven]

Maybe, but you never know if you don't try...

[She paused, her face scrunching up as she tried to think...]

2/2

[justiceinheaven]

[...ah!]

Just think like Loveline!

[justreceivedahole]

Love... Line?

[notjustinthemirror]

It's not so bad. 'Cept I guess this is where everyone goes to bitch about stuff.

[justreceivedahole]

... Seems like, at least.

[justiceinheaven]

Witch Detective Loveline!

[She struck a pose, as if she were holding out her mirror toy.]

[...]

[What do you want, Henry, she's just a kid.]

She's a super smart detective that uses magic to solve mysteries.

[justreceivedahole]

So, think like a magic detective..?

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako nodded.]

Mmhmm! Think positive, and know that you can solve the case!

[justreceivedahole]

Well... I guess I did solve the hole in my apartment...

God, how did I get so many tags?! @_@

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako beamed at that.]

See! You can do things if you put your mind to them.

MAGIC

[justreceivedahole]

[He smiles and chuckles, hand on his head again.]

Yeah... I guess.

[Considering most of what he put his mind to was nightmarish, talking to a child wasn't so hard.]

Soooooob

[justiceinheaven]

[Nanako nodded in satisfaction, before pointing to him.]

Now you have to give it a try with someone else.

Soooooob

[justreceivedahole]

[Errrrrr.]

[justiceinheaven]

[...]

I could ask onii-chan to come out. You could talk to him.

[justreceivedahole]

... That's alright.

[justiceinheaven]

Are you sure? He's a really good listener.

[...lulz]

[justreceivedahole]

I... don't have much to say.

[notjustinthemirror]

Hm.

On the bright side, at least there's lots of people around. I'm sure a few of them are interesting.

Monsters and puzzles are interesting for a start.

[justreceivedahole]

I guess... In their own way they are...

Just not in a really pleasant way...

[notjustinthemirror]

Well after you beat them then you relax and that's where the pleasantness comes in. You worry too much. Relax, have a drink, think about something other than puzzles and monsters.

[Says the demon.]

[justreceivedahole]

I suppose... It's just hard to not think about something like that when you've been trapped with them for days on end.

[notjustinthemirror]

Well isn't that kinda the point of these game things? You get to not hang out with the monsters and puzzles and shit.
