...



Don't interfere with my studies, Mundane. Go away.

[didhishomework]

That's quite the priority. I didn't think that the prospect of being someplace new would be trumped by the need to study.

[schoolaholic]

She'll get bore of me in a few weeks.

[didhishomework]

...you could stand to have a little more faith in your mun than that. She looks like she's putting a lot of time into learning about you and where you're from.

[schoolaholic]

She's reciting a pattern. She finds someone interesting for several weeks, forgets, or moves on to someone new. My mun's done it twice so far before me.

( she cracks open a book. )

It doesn't matter to me.

[didhishomework]

Isn't it kind of sad that you're just waiting to inevitably be tossed away? I'm not really a fan of being a part of someone's fluctuating headspace either, but the least you could do is try to pop out somehow and figure out a way to get her to not move away from you.

[schoolaholic]

( with her book still open, she shifts her gaze over at kyon and gives him a light stare down. huh... you sound like all of her friends. )

...

[didhishomework]

[He stares back... and quickly gives her a shrug.]

Just my opinion about it.

[schoolaholic]

( she shuts her book and looks over at him curiously. )

What's it like? To be in a game.

[didhishomework]

Huh?

[That's... a question he wasn't prepared for. He thinks about that question...]

Well... it depends, really. It's like moving from home. On one hand, you have to be prepared to not see the people you've made bonds with for quite some time. Sometimes it's months, maybe even years. You're kind of forced into settling in and adjusting to a new home, and it'll feel tough.

But, there's always a chance of an old friend moving with you. There's the opportunity to meet new friends, experience new things, find out more about the world and the universe as a whole. In my case, I find out what it's like to travel from planet to planet, picking up on different cultures getting a good feel for how people in other worlds, other Earths act.

( her expression may look a tiny bit bored, but she's definitely showing some interest to what he says. closely, shizuku listens to his explanation as she tries to visualize herself in his place. to be in a completely different setting than this quiet head space. it sounds troublesome in a way; having to adapt to somewhere unknown. yet... she misses the background noise. they were comforting to her. )

( if she were to go to a different place, she'd be there by herself. it'd be like before her friends and haru came along. it's definitely something she wouldn't want to go back to. but then again, an opportunity to make new friends. )

[schoolaholic]

( there's... a very small smile from her. )

... Sounds entertaining.

[didhishomework]

You think so?

[He wasn't positive that he had actually made it sound pleasing. In fact, if someone had offered him that same position before, he would have stared incredulously at that person and asked if they had escaped from the local asylum. What a difference a few years makes...]

It can be. Actually, no. It definitely is entertaining.

[schoolaholic]

But I think if my mun were to put me somewhere, it wouldn't be your place.

[didhishomework]

That's fine. I think both of us-- I mean, your mun and I might agree that you'd be too similar to a friend of mine. Still, wherever you go, you might or might not run into someone from my side.

[schoolaholic]

Eh? You mean your friends from home or your head space?

[didhishomework]

Head space. I only really have one friend from home up here, and he's the type of guy that gets annoying quickly.

[schoolaholic]

As someone who understands, you have my sympathy.

[didhishomework]

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, people like that are fine in small doses, but after a while...

[schoolaholic]

—— You'll get used to it in larger doses.
