two text posts for the price of one

[ Mikami is not okay. Granted, he hasn't been okay for 10 days now and most of that is not the fault of the strange alien planet he has suddenly been brought to, but being here isn't exactly helping either. He's gone through all the arrival procedures like sleepwalking and now he's spent a day or two just sitting in his apartment staring at nothing. A part of him still expects that this will all go away and he will finally fade into nothingness as he righteously should--- but that's not happening. He's still here, he's still breathing, and all of it is so so utterly wrong.

Mikami has never posted on the internet for advice before. That has always been the kind of lost and pathetic that happens to other people. He thinks about how low he's sunken and hits 'create account' on Prismagram. ]


I am dead. I have been made to understand that this is not the status quo. Why am I here then?

[ ... yeah, a very helpful post. He may be convinced to come off anon over the course of conversations, but that's a case-by-case thing. ]

[ Some time after that existential crisis is aired to the public, Mikami sits down and makes an actual personal account that he intends to use if needed be. He's not much of a social media person, never has been, but it seems useful to have in a place that is entirely unfamiliar. ]

Good afternoon.
I have recently settled in Lunatia after my initial arrival procedures. While I have been able to gain a wealth of information from officials and don't require immediate assistance, there are questions that I feel are better answered by other 'Moonblessed'. If you have a moment to spare, I would be grateful.

How well have you found your education from your old life to be valued in this city? For obvious reasons, we are without our certificates and cannot prove whatever degrees we may have obtained in the past. How would one go about having their academic status recognized?

Naturally, most knowledge would not carry over one on one, but there is still merit in being able to cite experience.

[ There is a guy in a suit slowly exploring Lunatia Level 2 and visibly cringing at every bit of colorful decor or bubbly pop music. He looks like he hasn't slept well in many days. He also looks kind of lost. You may approach him in any manner you see fit, just wildcard me. ]

You mean not understanding why you're here. You need a purpose. Or it just feels like you're drifting along.

[ Yeah, that's easier for Roxas to relate to, much different than a blatant rejection of another chance. ]

Maybe that will come once you spend time around more people. People gave you purpose in the past, right?

[ Roxas shakes his head. ]

Not like that. Like the feeling of belonging. Like they helped you understand more about yourself.

[ Anyone can have friends! ]

What do you mean idealistic? Isn't that what friends usually do?

[ He looks highly confused by the statement. ]

[ Roxas also glances away, once more realizing his experiences with these things is probably not the norm. ]

Oh. I don't have a lot of experience with looking. Mine were always pushed toward me by someone else. Though I guess I did meet Hayner, Olette and Pence on my own before Nam—before it was decided they should be my best friends.

[ He catches himself before he can mention that Naminé was involved in that manipulation. He doesn't really blame her. He knows she was being pushed by Ansem. But he also understands that she is the one who came up with each of his altered memories. ]
