finally getting out of that headspace!

[shotazuki]

It's nice to be able to finally come out and socialize like your other muses. I know I'm not one of your stronger ones, but I'm very grateful you chose me at all.

[ a small smile ] Perhaps you'll find a suitable home for me, even. That would be grand, wouldn't it?

I hope I'll be able to come out more often from now on.

not your booty.

[hamtartarus]

Pharos-kun!

It's great that your mun let you out! Does she have anything planned for you?

gimme my booty

[shotazuki]

I don't believe she does... She's only thought about bringing me somewhere if our friends will be there.

Are you staying somewhere, Hamuko?

check your privilege who's the protag here

[hamtartarus]

That makes sense.

Oh! I'm currently in a place called crossroads, but my mun's on hiatus because of exams. She says it's a bit hectic to stay active with school and musing me but...

I don't know what she plans to do with me, I don't think it's a long stay...

guess who ends up being the one you have buttsex with yeAH THINK AGAIN

[shotazuki]

Is it fun there? Is everyone else there too?

[ kind of sighs ] I wish my mundane had plans for me but I guess she'd like to take a more relaxed approach to all of this.

um ????

[hamtartarus]

Ah.. no, it's just me right now, I think.

I would like to play somewhere with more of us. It's fun to play with people that you don't know sometimes, but...

[shotazuki]

It's not quite the same, is it?

If there was a place suitable for someone like me, I think I'd like to be with you and Minato.

[hamtartarus]

I'd like that a lot. I'll keep my eyes out for any games that might be open for all of us.

[shotazuki]

Thank you, Hamuko. I appreciate it.

weve been over this but u still have cooties??

[heavenisaplaceintvs]

...
[ Have a Nanako staring at you from 'round the corner, thinking 'bout how you look like an escaped prisoner!

It's totally not the shirt or anything. ]

u HAVE WEED DAS EVEN WORSE DUMMY

[shotazuki]

[ why is a little girl staring at me

is it because of my hair

it's because of my hair isn't it gosh darn it i should have brushed it!!!! ]

Hello there. [ said softly; not that he's one for younger women but he doesn't want to scare her off ]

its noT MY WEED ITS BIG BROS which in turns is yosukes u kno da deal

[heavenisaplaceintvs]

[ !!

Nanako would brush it for you but stranger danger!!

She shies away some more, but she's polite and she does reply, albeit hesitantly. ]

...Hi.

yOURE STILL THE ONE USING IT

[shotazuki]

[ tilts his head a little; well, there's a shy one... ]

My name is Pharos. [ extending his arm out in case she wants to shake hands ] What's your name?

oNcE CANT YOU LET IT Go

[heavenisaplaceintvs]

...

[ She steps out of her partial hiding and nods, but makes no move to grab his hand. Mostly because she's glancing away. ]

...Nanako.

no never im done w/ u nanko

[shotazuki]

That's a nice name, Nanako. [ just going to keep his arm out for a little longer, just in case ]

You don't have to be so shy. I won't hurt you.

[heavenisaplaceintvs]

[ ... ]

Thanks.

[ She grabs his hand reluctantly. ]

...How long have you been here? [ Floating in your mun's headspace, that is. ]

[shotazuki]

[ oh -- her hand is warm. that's a new feeling. ]

Not very long. Perhaps a few months, at most. What about you, Nanako?

[heavenisaplaceintvs]

A few days, I think...

[ ...Shakes hand. ]

[shotazuki]

[ wow what a pathetic hand shake where's the arm muscle biatch i mean wow nanako how cute can you be ]

Do you think you'll be headed anywhere? A game, I mean.

[notsogrimreaper]

[Woah, woah, woah. Wait a second, wait a second.

That's... him, right?

Geez, what did Minato call him...]

...Pharos?

[shotazuki]

[ why this

you would be...

nods in response ]

And you would be... Ryoji?

[notsogrimreaper]

Y-Yes, that's right.

[He's a little wary right now... as he turned into you for Halloween and kinda was an ass to one of his friends.]

It's strange that I never thought I'd see you here... though my mun did say that there are copies of people I know all over the place.

[shotazuki]

I didn't expect to see you either.

[ hms ] I see many of... "our" friends, but my mundane hasn't seen any of "me".

It must be nice to see other copies of yourself and of our friends.

[notsogrimreaper]

Well, um, my mun has one of you... she usually just puts him in memes and stuff, but...

[If Pharos is lonely, then Ryoji should probably help. He knows what loneliness feels like.]

[shotazuki]

Does she?

[ a sparked interest -- pharos has never run into himself unless it's a ryoji so... it's a new experience ]

Do you get to talk to him yourself?

[notsogrimreaper]

Sometimes, when I'm not in my Game... but not very often.

Um... if you'd like to speak to him, I can let you.

[evoketh]

...just don't wake people up when they're sleeping.

[shotazuki]

I'll try not to, but as they say, old habits die hard.

[evoketh]

You're not supposed to go into bedrooms either.

...unless you're invited.

[shotazuki]

Would you invite me in?

[evoketh]

Not for the same reasons.

[shotazuki]

Then what for?

[evoketh]

Because we're friends.

[shotazuki]

-- ah. I see.

That makes sense.

[kirijos]

A young child, such as yourself, should be chaperoned by a responsible adult...

[shotazuki]

I think I'm old enough to be on my own, though...

[1/2]

[kirijos]

[smiles almost ruefully] That's never true.

[kirijos]

[....coughs slightly]

...still, I admire how, even at such an age, you desire to be independent. However, you'll never stand as tall as you would with people supporting you from behind.

[shotazuki]

From behind?

... I think I'd rather them by my side.
