Hey, cut it out. There's nothing embarrassing about studying fables. I'm going to be a curator — or a writer, maybe both! One day, that is. The first chapter would have to be on ... [ hmmm what a hard choice!! ] Bigfoot, obviously.

Oh, that sounds legit. You're like a wind-slash-fairy-slash-spirit then.

[akito]

I'm not a fairy! [ he's kind of sad that he isn't though. he would love pretty feathers like tooth. ): his little purse is decorated with charms made out of tooth fairy feathers, however! ]

And the naiads like to call me a sprite, since they like to make fun of me being small. [ and sometimes beat him up oops ] But I'm definitely a spirit! Of... wind and clouds and stuff like that, I guess.

How old are you? Where do you come from? What's your name?

[ questionssss. ]

[akito]

I was... eighteen! I think? When I got turned into a spirit, but I don't really remember much from before then...

But I'm Akito! And I woke up in Japan so I guess that's where I'm from, ne?

I've been a spirit for fifty-two years!

Hello, Akito-from-Japan-who-is-super-old. How'd you find out your specialty is wind?

[akito]

[ oh. well. he won't tell him that he's actually still considered a wee babby spirit. SUPER OLD, YEAHHHH. he will take it! ]

When I woke up I was floating a couple thousand feet over Tokyo.

[undergrad]

[ that's the spirit! lulz. ]

That sounds frightening, gotta say.

[akito]

It felt familiar! And the wind was comforting, ne? So it wasn't as scary as it could have been. Though I remembered some things then that I've forgotten now that made the transition kind of hard.

You're Jamie Bennett, right?

[undergrad]

Uh, yeah! How did you know that? Or can all spirits do the spooky name thing?

[akito]

Ma- [ gosh if he wants to seem like an old awesome spirit he needs to stop calling her mama. :|a dilemma. ]

Miss Toothiana told me about the boy who believed. If you're an adult who can see spirits it makes sense to think it was you, ne?

[ a pause ]

Or we could just say it's a spooky spirit thing! Like... 'The wind told me'.
