[ assigns jonas as being on top of the slide and staring down at rin, also looking at his phone. just two dudes, wondering what the fuck. ]
Kind of feels like asking that question is a slippery slope, man. [ but hm.] As much as I hate to say it, seems like they're the first of us to get everything together.
Yeah. After yesterday...I dunno. Maybe he's serious, or maybe it was a flex to make sure other people stay clear of their team. Like...you know, a pufferfish? Making itself bigger to look scarier. Did you get a chance to talk to him at all?
I've spoken to him... He actually tried to save my life? [ ??? ] But then he asked me to give him a weapon.
[ ??????????????? ]
Oh. I ended up partnering up with Haru after all—he's the guy I know from home. He said he had some ideas but... he's not the most trustworthy with this kind of thing. [ SIGHS ] What about you?
What, like as payment? What would you have even given him, it's not like most of us have weapons.
[ that aside...oh. he blinks a little like he's just making a connection. ]
Yeah, I met him. He seemed a little confused about what he was doing the first day but...glad to hear you two are sticking together. At least you can keep an eye on his ideas. [ whatever they may be. ] Alex and I are going with Setsu and Kazuki. Those two had already agreed to partner, and we kind of thought we'd be a good fit for each other. It...kind of sucks all four of us have the same psych, but we'll figure something out.
I've met them. Setsu seems calm under pressure and Kazuki must be pretty clever too with what he was doing back in Tokyo. [ Hmmm. ] That's a good point about psychs though... It sucks, but it's less important than ending up with a psycho.
[ He sighs, leaning back against the slide. ]
But yeah, I don't know. He seems like the type of guy that hates everyone.
That's about what Alex and I got, too. We should be fine. Hopefully you and Haru can find another pair that'll work for you, too. If you haven't already, I mean.
[ but yeah...that. ]
You think it's a real thing? Or just what he wants people to think?
Just the first day. Or second? Ran into him in the bowling alley. [ so not enough to really get to know a person, just first impressions. ] Seemed harmless enough, but...until we really get into the competition I doubt we're gonna know what people are really like. It changes people.
[ oof. oof, oof, oof. he doesn't reply right away because he has to think of what to say that's the right amount of reassuring and also the right amount of realistic. ]
Well...it should be normal to not kill people and not know people who've killed people. [ first of all. ] But since we're all from different places, that makes it a little harder? I think...
[ he trails off for a second, because he's not sure if rin will want to hear this, actually. ]
Maybe it depends on what the reasons are. Not that killing people's a good answer to anything, just. There could be exceptions. [ hm. no. okay, dial that back. ] We'll have to do what we can to maybe convince people not to try something like that here.
[ he's not entirely confident that's possible, but it's something of a plan of action. ]
So far people are okay enough, but yeah. Tell me about it. Libby was talking about this...thing. A Many Worlds Interpretation or something like that? About how a lot of places can be the same in a lot of ways but still be really different. We're both from Earth, but her world has a bunch of witches.
[ which is to say, no, no magic. ]
We don't have magic like what you'd expect magic to be. But there's other stuff that I'm not sure other people would believe or know about. [ tilting his head. ] I'm guessing you don't either since you're asking?
[ Many Worlds Interpretation... Well, it sounds right. ]
No, no magic or anything other than humans around. [ He leans back, looking at the sky. ] At least, not that I knew of. Eiden was saying that his life was pretty normal too until he touched some magic object?
So there could've been all sorts of things that I just didn't know about. [ Too focused on swimming. ] What kind of stuff wouldn't people believe?
Wait really? I haven't talked to him much but he seemed pretty normal. Guess I'll have to ask again? [ magic...object. ]
I'd say that it seems like the kind of thing you'd still have a guess about even without experience, but...maybe not. [ hrgm. ] Ours was more, uh, supernatural.
It. [ he's not sure how much he wants to explain the ghosts, actually, given all of this happened so recently. ] It was pretty bad. They weren't exactly friendly or that willing to negotiate with us in the first place.
[ thank you for the sympathy pat. rin strikes him as so normie and actually pretty decent so far which is why jonas is withholding like 90% of what happened. for his sake :') ]
We, uh. I mean I know why it happened even when we didn't know what would happen. Let's just say it was a really long night. [ but. ] Alex figured stuff out. We came up with a plan and put an end to everything there. Which, you know, makes the whole "waking up dead" thing a little funny.
[ in that it isn't funny period but he can at least see the irony. ]
[ someday, maybe, rin will get to know...live until memshare spoon i dare you. ]
Don't give me too much credit. [ sometimes you are panicking and just not appearing to be because there are ghosts. ] Alex and a few other people were really the brains behind all of it. I just sort of went with their ideas.

What the hell is "Team BDSM" supposed to mean...?
no subject
Kind of feels like asking that question is a slippery slope, man. [ but hm.] As much as I hate to say it, seems like they're the first of us to get everything together.
[ which sure is saying something. ]
no subject
... They teamed up with that Rang guy. I guess they're playing to win.
no subject
Yeah. After yesterday...I dunno. Maybe he's serious, or maybe it was a flex to make sure other people stay clear of their team. Like...you know, a pufferfish? Making itself bigger to look scarier. Did you get a chance to talk to him at all?
[ a pause. ]
Actually...where are you with your team stuff?
no subject
[ ??????????????? ]
Oh. I ended up partnering up with Haru after all—he's the guy I know from home. He said he had some ideas but... he's not the most trustworthy with this kind of thing. [ SIGHS ] What about you?

[ but yeah...that. ]
You think it's a real thing? Or just what he wants people to think?
no subject
... Could be an act. Like I said, he did show up out of no where to try and help me. Have you talked to him much?
no subject
no subject
[ And then, just because this is a lot, ] I've never even met someone who killed another person before. I thought that was normal but...
no subject
Well...it should be normal to not kill people and not know people who've killed people. [ first of all. ] But since we're all from different places, that makes it a little harder? I think...

[ he's not entirely confident that's possible, but it's something of a plan of action. ]
no subject
[ ... ]
At least, I don't think so. Seems like most people are pretty nice and friendly, it's just a little weird how different some of our backgrounds are.
[ Looks over at Jonas. ]
Did you have magic where you're from?
no subject
he has enough tact not to say that. ]
So far people are okay enough, but yeah. Tell me about it. Libby was talking about this...thing. A Many Worlds Interpretation or something like that? About how a lot of places can be the same in a lot of ways but still be really different. We're both from Earth, but her world has a bunch of witches.

[ there's a pause. ]
Do you believe in ghosts?
no subject
[ He smiles. ]
If I didn't before, I do now.
no subject
Okay. Well, yeah. That happened. Alex and I...ended up finding them. Or they found us? Something like that.
no subject
Uh... [ OKAY ] Was that as scary as it sounds?
no subject
It. [ he's not sure how much he wants to explain the ghosts, actually, given all of this happened so recently. ] It was pretty bad. They weren't exactly friendly or that willing to negotiate with us in the first place.
no subject
Oh. That's... sorry. [ jonas is at the top of the slide so... pats his foot... touch week... ] That must've been tough.
no subject
We, uh. I mean I know why it happened even when we didn't know what would happen. Let's just say it was a really long night. [ but. ] Alex figured stuff out. We came up with a plan and put an end to everything there. Which, you know, makes the whole "waking up dead" thing a little funny.
[ in that it isn't funny period but he can at least see the irony. ]
no subject
Yeah... funny. [ 6_9 ] That's pretty impressive that you managed to figure it out, though. I feel like I would've just panicked.
no subject
Don't give me too much credit. [ sometimes you are panicking and just not appearing to be because there are ghosts. ] Alex and a few other people were really the brains behind all of it. I just sort of went with their ideas.
no subject
It wasn't just you two?
