video.

( the video feed cuts on and a very pretty man in traditional clothing fills the frame, a serious look in his eyes. )

For one day only, I am benevolently offering my services as a seer, so to speak.

You see, I can glimpse into the future in short bursts and divine what awaits you. The spirits are restless and have compelled me to offer up my services, free of charge, to all who may desire them.

So please, supply your name and your favorite fruit and allow me to read your future.

( this, of course, has all been a lie. but damn does it sound convincing and very prettily and eloquently spoken. )

( seems complicated..... )

Define out of hand.

Possibly getting someone hurt, or having lasting consequences beyond today.

That's very grim and serious, yes.

As long as it doesn't go that far, and you tell them at some point, I think it's fine.

Do you believe me to be that type of person, I wonder?

If you weren't, there would be no reason to admit you were lying.

A fair assessment. I suppose that's the struggle with trying to dupe a fellow author.

Should I apologize? Or would it help to know that the author named Yumeno from my home is scarier than you?

[or would that make it worse??]

( this is terrible.... )

I wouldn't make such a claim so early on.

If you aren't an admitted sadist, I can make that claim with confidence.

[Yumeno... is scary...]

( A PAUSE, no okay he's a masochist if anything, not a sadist. )

I'm afraid the only pleasure I derive in hurting others is through my works.

Then you can confidently be less scary than famous author Yumeno Kyuusaku.

I suppose to avoid any confusion, you should simply refer to me as Gentaro.

Are you sure it wouldn't be overly familiar?

Given the nature of this world, and the fact that I've had others use it without permission, no, it would be fine.

Alright... [Moonlacing is an entirely different thing, but he won't argue.] In return, you should call me Atsushi.

( he's allergic to moonlacing so-- )

If that is what you wish, of course.

It would be unfair otherwise, so yes. That is what I wish.

Then it shall be done.

I look forward to our next encounter, Atsushi.

Likewise, Gentarou. But this one was fun.
