so i was sittin here thinkin

you ever see those manga that have those titles like

"I'm Being Haunted By a Handsome Ghost and Somehow We Got Engaged?!"

or like

"I Befriended a Rowdy Boy Through a Rift In Time and Now He's a Dragon?!"

or maybe

"Turns Out the Guy I'm Dating is a Famous Idol From the Future?!"

those ones

so do you ever think back on those types of manga and wonder what it'd be like to actually live in a story like that?

what would the title be?



though i guess for most of us, being here in prismatica is like a manga story on its own...


[ ooc: if you need inspiration for isekai titles/their format here's a shindan to generate some generic ones! ]

Those titles seem awfully specific, Keigo-kun. Did you come up with them on your own?

sougo you're savage

[loudmouths]

uh

no...! they're titles i saw in a bookstore once...

He can't help himself.... It's too charming.

[koboreta]

That's quite the coincidence...

I'm impressed that this many titles match your circumstances so well.

KEIGO DYING IS CHARMING?!

[loudmouths]

wh

it IS a coincidence! i swear!!

[lioness_rampant]

"I Slept for Ten Thousand Years and Now I'm Fighting an Evil Empire with My Friends and our Giant Robots"

Something like that?

[loudmouths]

oh man, that sounds like an awesome premise!

but wait

that's your experience? how did you sleep that long?!

[lioness_rampant]

It is, and it's... far less 'awesome' in practice, I assure you.

I was placed in a stasis pod. All of my vital systems were frozen, in essence.

[loudmouths]

woah

did it hurt??? what was waking up like?

[justlethal]

what exactly is a manga?

[loudmouths]

oh! sorry

it's kinda like a comic book except instead of really thin serials it's usually either printed in a big magazine or compiled into books!

[justlethal]

i'm familiar with the terran object of a comic book
my boyfriend has spoken of those

[punchpass]

"My friends are too good at what they do, so now I have to defeat them"

or "My former team captain is now the final boss"

I don't think either of those sound good.
I apologize, I am not very good at this.

[loudmouths]

hah! no way, those sound fine to me!

i take it you're an athlete?

[punchpass]

Yes, I play basketball.
I came here to find several of my former teammates actually.
Are you familiar with the sport?

[ Hello, you have a found a manga nerd. ]

You could make a lot of isekai titles with most of us, probably
We're all trapped in a world that runs on touch-magic
Though light novels are more popular for kinds of titles, manga usually have to be shorter because otherwise it's a hassle for the magazine

Mine would probably be:
"Trapped In a Simulation with A Sentient AI Who Just Wanted To Help People But Actually She's Gone Insane!"
or maybe:
"Get Me Out of Here! My Evil Ex Followed Me Into A Digital World And Now I Can't Go Home"

I'd probably skip it if it were me, those sound awful

[loudmouths]

[ oh boy, keigo's favorite. ]

yeah that's kinda what i was thinkin... it probably applies to everyone in some way or another now that we're all here and stuff

but woah, AIs and stuff? and digital worlds?? that sounds like that one anime from the 90s...

[ digimon. he means digimon. ]

[anemoneae]

It ticks all the boxes, that's for sure
We got pulled here for reasons no one knows and we're the only ones who can make chroma to save the planet
It's pretty textbook, except for the part where there's so many of us

Oh, yeah! I know the one you mean

[ Hello, he's 30, he definitely knows Digimon ]

Mine wasn't as exciting as that
It was like a simulated high school for people who wanted to run away from their problems
So like, I was in the simulation but my body is probably in a coma, back home
Kind of like that one series, you know? The video games where the players couldn't log out

[ it's... you know... more like .hack but not as fun... ]

"Class Act! Actor Goes From Universal to Multiversal!?"

Like Universal Studios!

Though I guess I wasn't near that level yet. ( : ౦ ‸ ౦ : )

sorry about the delay!

[loudmouths]

uwoh?!

well still! acting is impressive! it's something i toyed with pursuing once or twice!

no problemo!

[arf]

Let me know if you want to try out some improv sometimes! You never know what will make your heart flutter while you try it, you know?

[sendinthedelta]

i got picked up by a secretly evil bioweapons corp and they tried to feed me to zombies

sorry about the delay!

[loudmouths]

wha!!

zombies?! like real ones? rotting corpses and stuff?!

You're good, fam. I was seriously delayed too lol

[sendinthedelta]

yup

rotting corpses and stuff

literally developed a virus that mutated nearly everyone who got bit or scratched by them

Sounds like something the girls in your school were always reading.

[ And Rukia. But what else was she supposed to do while hiding out in Ichigo's closet?? Anyways, it was research. ]

I'd be partial to a story that's a little less dramatic, and complicated.

[loudmouths]

haha, probably! there's a lot of em that got really popular...

but uwoh that's just as i expected of you, rukia-chan! you're of discerning taste! (˘∀˘)/
