001 POINTS | video | joint post with [personal profile] fineprinted

[ The video post flickers on to show two people, both looking rather different in demeanor. The taller of the two looks to have a scowl on his face, and eyes and hair a matching deep green. He’s not happy to be here, he doesn’t even feel comfortable leaving the apartment. Which is why he’s here with the shorter of the two boys.

It would’ve been hard to tell that the scruffy, blue-haired boy is the older of the two, but that’s probably part of his charm and it shows in how he addresses the network with a bright smile and a wave of his hand, as if he were a natural at this. ]


--Oh, I think we’re on! Hello, Lunatia! We’d like to introduce ourselves first of all: My name is Aoba Tsumugi, and this kind lad over here is my roommate! Ah, you should say hello too, Midorima-kun!

[ He gestures at the screen as smoothly as he could.

Midorima’s brows furrow before he’s even finished talking, looking mildly annoyed. What he’s annoyed about becomes apparent within only a few seconds as he doesn’t say hello and instead focuses in on correcting what he thinks was wrong with that sentence. ]


Who’s a “kind lad”? Focus on the task at hand.

[ Apparently, that’s all the greeting he’s bothering with. Tsumugi can only sigh a little before facing the screen again, smile still intact. ]

This is Midorima Shintarou, by the way. Seriously, kids these days… Um, but before I go off track, the reason why we’ve put this up is because we have one thing in common, and that is horoscopes. Luck, in general. Do you know there are apps here that tells you your daily fortune and what lucky item to bring around with you to ward off bad luck? Technology’s so amazing! Even though we’re from different worlds, it’s nice to know that there are other people who believe in them -- and that is why we are here today.

[ Midorima’s worried that Tsumugi’s going to go on for too long, so he chimes in with a much more direct demand of their audience over the network. ]

Respond with your astrological sign or birthday if you aren’t sure. We’re also looking to know what items are considered lucky in other worlds that may be incorporated into an apartment.

Y-You can just ask nicely them, you know! People wouldn’t know how to respond if you’re being demanding like that... [ why are tsunderes the way they are, man ] Anyway, it’d be very helpful for us to know everyone’s signs and birthdays to balance out of luck if it ever goes bad for a day so that we can stick with those people for a while… I’m a Leo and he’s a Cancer, if that helps.

Also! If anyone knows other forms of divination such as palmistry and tarot, that’d be greatly appreciated as well… I’m honestly more comfortable consulting with someone privately about my fortunes rather than rely on technology all the time, so let me know if it’s all right to approach you for regular sessions! I’ll pay with Chroma if I have to.


[ Midorima just decides to move on and end the video. He’s not going to give Tsumugi the chance to say goodbye. ]

We’re done.

[ And the video cuts out. ]

maybe there's something about you that interests people. or it could be random. the sample of people here appear to be rather diverse so they could just be taking a variety of people.

a control group and an experimental group.

makes sense to me.

but i guess we'll see what's going on someday.

maybe this is where people go when their worlds move to a timeline where you died, but don't remember.

except that's so far-fetched, don't really dwell on that.

Eh? Now I'm really going to dwell on it! I don't remember signing up for something like that?! Or even how I died, for that matter! I don't know what to believe anymore!!!

[ this is exactly why he'd rather believe in horoscopes, man! they're harmless at the very least!! ]

I don’t think anyone here knows what to believe. All we have are theories that could be based on personal experience. I don’t know how I died either.

You... died already? But you're here, aren't you?

it’s just theoretical. i’m saying if i died, i don’t know how i did.

[Except she sort of is dead but oh well.]

Oh, sorry. I jumped to conclusions yet again...

Either way, your theory about this being a simulation shouldn't be written off, but for the sake of my own sanity I'd rather believe that we are whisked away into another world, much like most light novels nowadays. I think it's more fun that way.

if only this were some isekai novel. but even i have a hard time believing we're now stuck in some light novel or anime...

[....this is an isekai light novel, kurisu. embrace it.]

I couldn't believe it myself either! This is more proof that we are all main protagonists of our own lives.

[ ...what was the topic at hand again ]

isn't that a motivational quote? be the main character in your own story, or something like that.

You might be right. It's just that some people forget sometimes... either that or they let someone write their story for them.
