Seriously, what the hell are you so worried about?

You were supposed to pick me up years ago, and you're just now doing it?! You play everyone else just fine, so what's the big deal about playing me...??

GANTA!!! [Tackleglomp!]

[woodpeckermaruta]

[Ohjeezdidnotevenseeher!] Oof! [Lands on his back, with a startled expression, before blinking up at her.] Shiro! [Omg it's really you!]

... Wait, you're not angry at me?

[taintedwhite]

[Shiro looks down at Ganta and her expression turns a bit more serious for a moment.] Shiro is a bit unhappy because Ganta's late.

[Then she smiles again.] But Shiro is really happy because Ganta is here now!

[woodpeckermaruta]

[He blinks a bit, at her response.] Late? [After a moment, he simply laughs, shaking his head at her.] That's all you're unhappy about?

By the way, what is this place? [He is not exactly expecting much of an answer, but he decides to try anyway.]

[taintedwhite]

[She tilts her head quizzically.] What else should Shiro be unhappy about?

Shiro's Mun said it is a place where people wait before they're sent to a game. ...But people who are already in a game can come too. [That's still not completely clear to her. But that's not important. Back to important topic now.]

When will Ganta arrive at the Tower? Ganta's coming to the Tower, right? Shiro's Mun said Ganta's Mun said so.

[woodpeckermaruta]

Oh, I see. So it's like a waiting room.

[He hesitates a moment.] Well, when I hit you for throwing the data chip... And about how I forgot about you... You should be angry at me for all of that...

[To the next question, he frowns.] Well, I'm not one hundred percent positive, but I'm sure I will be coming soon!

We just have to wait and see what the administrators of the game think of my Mun.

[taintedwhite]

Oh. [Shiro shakes her head.] Shiro is not. Ganta said he was sorry. Shiro believes Ganta. ...But Ganta should not do it again. It made Shiro sad.

They will like her, Shiro is sure! Shiro won't let them prevent Ganta from coming to play with Shiro.

[immortalia]

Your player should relax, sir. It would not benefit them to worry this much.

[woodpeckermaruta]

[Blinks] Yeah, that's what I said.

So... who are you?

[immortalia]

Ah, so you did. My apologies.

I am Sertoria Cani and it is a pleasure to meet you, sir.

[woodpeckermaruta]

W-Wait, no, I meant... [He decides to just give up.]

Nevermind. It's nice to meet you, too. My name's Ganta Igarashi.

[immortalia]

You meant what? [ Curious android is curious. ]

The pleasure is all mine, Ganta. I believe Shiro mentioned you once or twice. You are her friend, correct?

[woodpeckermaruta]

Uh... Well, I was kind of just agreeing with what you said.

[Now it's his turn to be really curious.]

Yeah, I'm her friend. How do you know her?

[immortalia]

Ah, I am happy to hear that!

[ Then, she smiles again. ]

She is my friend, too, and I have been taking care of her by playing with her whenever she wants.

[hemoeroticism]

Aha, it might have to do with where you're going, Woodpecker! ✩

[woodpeckermaruta]

Uh... How do you know my stage name? [Don't mind the confused expression, Mockingbird]

[1/3]

[hemoeroticism]

Oh, Ganta-kun, don't be so--

[2/3]

[hemoeroticism]

[ Wait... He's still wearing the collar. ]

[3/3]

[hemoeroticism]

Ahh, so you're from before all of that... Well, I guess it was only a matter of time, wasn't it? That's no problem. No problem at all.

Most people call me 'Mockingbird.' But like I said before, I'd love it if you would just call me 'Toto.' ✩

[woodpeckermaruta]

... Wait, what? [Have a hard stare, before he frowns.]

I'm from before what, exactly, ...Toto? [Something then appears to click.]

Wait, you're Mockingbird?

[hemoeroticism]

Oh, that can wait. Love means having patience. ✩

[ He then giggles like a small child, and claps his hands. ] That's right. And don't worry, I've taken such good care of my beloved Wre-- Shiro while you took your time getting here! ✩

[woodpeckermaruta]

... love...?

[He frowns really hard, now.] What do you mean... "took good care of"...? How do you know Shiro?

[You better mean fluffing her pillow and getting her some candy, Mockingbird. Anything more than that, requires vengeance. That's his Shiro, not yours. ♥]

[hemoeroticism]

Oh, Woodpecker, you wound me! ✩

[ He giggles again, and folds his hands in front of him. ]

Shiro's special, you know. Even if you might have forgotten all about it. I just did what I did for years. Fed her, entertained her, and... When she gets in a certain mood... [ No, Ganta, it's not what you're probably thinking. ] Besides, you should be a bit more grateful. How do you think she knew about the 'Data Chips' in the first place? ✩

[flourisher]

Muns are a weird thing, but does she have a game in mind for you?

[woodpeckermaruta]

They really are.

Ah... yeah, actually. It's apparently set in a tower where horrible things happen to people. I'm not actually looking forward to that part.

My name is Ganta, by the way. What's your name?
