On his mun's current shipping spree.

[velvetfool]

[Actually, nah, his face pretty much says it all. As do the icon keywords.

It could be worse. She could be shipping him, too.]

Please don't.

Oh, yes, muns and their 'ships'... such a fascinating way to express their love for other people's bonds.

[velvetfool]

I'm just glad that it's simply "other people" for the time being...

[Don't worry, Souji, only terrible people deserve terrible ships and you are not a terrible person.]

[return_to_reality]

Are them from your world, Mr. Nakamura? [That's the name of the 'you' she met in Arena, sorry. Uh... was it?] You shouldn't let your guard down, the ene-pardon, the mun may attack you when you less expect it.

[Good people, terrible people, ships won't spare a single soul in the corrupted place known as fandom]

[velvetfool]

Naka-... [He realizes. His mun used to make the same mistake all the time.] Oh, "Narukami". [A good-natured smile.] Sorry, that's not the name I go by here. It's Seta. Souji Seta. I don't think we've met before, but you, um...don't happen to work for Igor, do you...? [With the blue outfit and pale hair, he can't help but think of Margaret.]

And yes, they do happen to be from my world. ["Unfortunately," he can't help but mentally add.] But my mun seems insistent that she will not do anything similar with me, so I trust her.

[return_to_reality]

I beg your pardon, I only met you once and under... very peculiar circustamcies, I never really memorized your name. [And she bows her head. And, yes, her mun used to make the same mistake all the time] Uh, Indeed, I do. I used to work in the Velvet Room then I started neglecting my duties my journey and when you obtained the Power my sister Margaret was already replacing me. [She bows again] Last time we m-last time I met another you I forgot to express my gratitude: my sister really changed because of you [That seems to be a common part in the life for the Room's inhabitants.

Oh, I see... you seem to trust... him or her very much [She giggles] How naive...

[velvetfool]

It's no problem, my Mun informs me there's quite a bit of uncertainty regarding my name as it is.

[He blinks in surprise.] Oh, you're her sister...! I do think she mentioned...-- [Don't mind the Mun casually reading over the Empress arcana Social Link in another window because she never finished it..... He responds with a sheepish laugh.] I think she expressed as much. I trust she's doing well...?

bedtime =ç=

[return_to_reality]

I heard from my mun something about 'Animation and Manga confusing people. She also mentioned how everone calls you in a different way, actually...

[she chuckles] Indeed. And you were her guest. [Worry not, not all players are really interested in 'Velvet Room social links'. Or not-so-social link in Elizabeth's case. Now she's kinda curious to hear more about it but doesn't really dare to ask.] I hope your faith in your protector won't lead you to any kind of delusion.

Sleep well!

[velvetfool]

Something like that. But going with some sort of consistant name is a least a little less confusing. For the most part. [At least it's not Kenpachi Ramasama.

He nods] Yes, that's right. [The circumstances behind my not finishing it are a little complex but I am definitely interested...!! It's just a matter of my getting back to the game in order to do so. OTL He gives her a confident smile.]

Don't worry, at least for myself, I'm sure I'll be fine.

[Not so lucky for his headspace roommate tho...]

[bearfection]

Don't what, Sensei?

[velvetfool]

Ah, just hoping that my mun will keep me out of embarrassing and otherwise... [What's a good word... "Twisted"?] ...awkward 'ships'.

Unlike the other unfortunate muse up here at the moment.

[bearfection]

'Ships'? Like boats? [Teddie's mun could explain it to the bear, but she's cruel and mean. Sorry Souji.]

[velvetfool]

More like "relationships." Kind of like Social Links? Sometimes Muns like to put characters together that aren't good matches.

[He rubs the back of his neck, trying to figure out a good way to explain.] It's like... If you try and date someone before your Social Link with them is high enough, or you don't even have a link with them at all? It doesn't really end well, and it's usually upsetting for the characters involved, but muns enjoy that sort of thing I guess???

...Did that make sense? [He'll explain it again if he needs to.]

[bearfection]

[Teddie is quiet throughout the explanation like a good bear should be!]

Yes, Sensei! I think I get it...

That's not bear-y nice of your mun to be doing that! And I hope they don't decided to do that to you, raaaawr!

[velvetfool]

[He smiles reassuringly.]

Don't worry, I don't think she has any similar intentions for me at the moment. But I'll give her hell if she does, you can count on it!

[Really, Souji, that won't be necesarry. :C]

[bearfection]

She better not! And if you need any help if she does... You can count on Teddie!

... even though I know you can handle it, Sensei.

[velvetfool]

Heh, I don't think that'll be necesarry, but you'll be first on my list to call for back-up! Just in case.
