Who are you, my fucking mom? I don't like her, dude, I'm not gonna spend time getting to know some chick that bothers me. She's a fine person, she's smart, and she can be besties with someone else.
Hey, don't take it the wrong way or anything. I love women, so it's not like I mind. [guy, phrasing] And if any of them gets uncomfortable, I'll look at camping somewhere else, no questions asked.
But as long as they don't get too close, I think I should be able to manage for now. [mostly.]
...Chuuya Nakahara was a participant at the temple, that's why. I thought I saw someone that looked like him during the bus ride - was the right height and everything, but didn't look quite the same.
You said you're sure he's the one you remember, though, right?
Definitely. He's a fucking punk who killed when he didn't have to, I'm not going to forget that. [ casually doxes a fifteen year old ] He's a constant, I guess, considering his older self was on the fuck boat, too.
These places like to take a lot of people from similar contexts, looks like. I've never seen anybody from my world other than me, but we had people that Akira recognized in the House. I know that at least.
Yeah. There were two people from home I knew at the temple, and there's another one that came over this time in the bus. I know a lot of people that claim they're from some place called Japan, though the when and where is all over the place.
Malkuth, huh. [ she tilts her head back. ] So you're from another world entirely. I've got Faerun, Exandria, Earth and now - Auldrant. Makes me wonder how many more there are.
Sounds about right. I wouldn't call him a complicated person. More like one that just has a lot of baggage to work through. [understatement, but! moving on.]
Who knows, maybe it's just easier for him to deal with people when they don't want to be anywhere near him. If it's all you're used to, it's hard to break the habit, right?
[He'll chuckle, backing away just a bit to give her some room as he props his chin up with one hand against his leg.] Sort of. It's a mix of that and just people watching. Seeing how people are handling the sudden change gives a lot of insight, you know?
You were nice enough on the bus. I wanted to see if you'd be willing to talk again, now that throwing shoes is out of the picture. [It's dry, but good-natured.]

[He'll wave a hand in resignation, though.]
Fine, fine. It was just a suggestion. You were with her a lot longer, so I can't really blame you if you just didn't get along.
no subject
[ ANYWAY. ] Sucks to be you, in a cabin full of girls. Are you gonna suck it up or are you gonna like, sleep somewhere else?
no subject
But as long as they don't get too close, I think I should be able to manage for now. [mostly.]
What about you? Who'd you get stuck with?
no subject
I got Natalie, Lili, Belph and Chuuya. They're not bad, and I knew Chuuya from the House, so. [ shrug. ] Could've been worse.
no subject
Chuuya?
Wait, it's... it's not Chuuya Nakahara, is it?
Short, huffy, poet, drinks way too much while mouthing off the rich?
no subject
[ she looks amused. ] He is short and huffy, definitely. Why?

I'll have to take a look at his card over in the mess hall, because there's no way that can be a coincidence.

You definitely don't remind me of anyone from Kimlasca or Malkuth, either.

Malkuth is where I'm from.
no subject
Wait, Auldrant? That sounds familiar.
no subject
[Casually said, as though this isn't the first time he's mentioned the redhead in conversation.]
Who knows how many worlds we're looking at overall, though. Likely more than we expect.
I doubt anyone's in the mood to do a poll, but it's an interesting thought.
no subject
[ a pause. she hears that other information but. also. ] You guys are from the same world. You know each other?
no subject
I think that's all he meant. I wouldn't take offense over it or anything. I just asked him who he recognized, that's all.
Anyway. Yeah, we do know each other. We're not good friends or anything, but I'm familiar with him.
no subject
He doesn't like having good friends, so I'm not surprised. He does as much as fucking possible to get people to hate him first. Not that I do.

Were you just out here exploring, or what?

I've been poking around to try and get everybody's mindset here and there. Most people are annoyed, more than anything.
