Mun. Mun. I really must get back to my work, so if you wouldn't mind...?

[kamenriderkabuto]

What kind of work?

[nebulabus]

Space research. [Oh whoops dropped my notes. Bending down to pick them up] —Cosmic energy, specifically. I need my lab, and—

[Looks up.] Say, what's your name, young man? Do you have an interest in space?

1/2

[kamenriderkabuto]

Space? I can't say I have much personal interest, short of repelling potential threats that arrive from there.

[At which point he'd have to kick some alien ass.]

[kamenriderkabuto]

[But when asked his name, he points to the sky.]

The man who walks the Path of Heaven, the one who will rule over all...

[Then points downwards, straight at Emoto.]

Tendou Souji.

[nebulabus]

Ah, Tendou Souji-kun. How do you repel threats from space?

[kamenriderkabuto]

You defeat them.

Plain and simple.

[nebulabus]

[Finished picking up things, stands up.] What are they?

[kamenriderkabuto]

Aliens known as Worm.

They kill humans and mimic their appearance to blend in with society, and so I kill all of them who cannot live alongside humanity peacefully.

[Which, unfortunately, are far and few between.]

[nebulabus]

[Scribbling this down.] Worm... mimic appearance....

Thank you. Ah— You must have a bit of trouble. Your work can't be easy.

[kamenriderkabuto]

It's not as difficult as you'd think.

[He raises a brow at the writing though.]

This relates to your own work? On the..."Cosmic Energy"?

[nebulabus]

Not as such. But I have an interest in aliens. Some say that the study of space is, at its heart, a search for other intelligent life out there in the stars.

About these Worm— Where do they come from, do you know?

[chalicejoker]

Muns don't often care about one's work. You're probably not going to be able to get back to it now.

[nebulabus]

So I've begun to realize. Shame; I hope everything goes well.

And you, young man? What work did you leave behind?

[chalicejoker]

Photography, mostly.

[Among other Undead-fighting things...]

Gets rather annoying after a while.

[nebulabus]

Photography? That sounds nice! What about it gets annoying, if I may ask?

[chalicejoker]

It's not bad at all...just annoying when you keep getting pulled away from it for other things. Being able to focus certainly helps.

[nebulabus]

Is it your job...? What kind of things do you get pulled away for? That sounds unusual.

[chalicejoker]

On my world, there are...

[There's a bit of hesitation. It's a sensitive subject.]

...monsters. They interrupt me at times.

[nebulabus]

Monsters, you say? ... Do you mean they seek you out? Ah— Forgive this old man's nosiness, but why are you so cavalier about this?

[chalicejoker]

Let's just say they'd rather I wasn't around.

[There's a very thin, fleeting smile.]

You could say I'm used to it.

[nebulabus]

It's always a shame when young people are accustomed to this kind of thing.

[chalicejoker]

[For a brief moment, he seems almost amused at being called a young man again.]

You seem rather concerned about young people...

[uchuukitaa]

You!

[gothics]

S-Sensei!

[minetodecide]

T-Tachibana-san!
