yeah there's honestly just a lot of variety there

[dereban]

yeah i'm OK with that

[dereban]

It's just. . . the fact that chroma feels nice is sometimes a little -- it just. It feels wrong.

[dereban]

You should send them to me.

[dereban]

i mean, you shouldn't be

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Feels wrong?

[ Konoka looked up at Inaba for a moment, still locked in her hug. ]

Hmmm. I think I talked about this with someone before. I mean, not the exact thing, but something similar.

[ Akechi had been thinking about the loss of moonlacing to the people. Konoka had actually been worried then about how moonlacing might have had more sinister aims. Fortunately, that hadn't borne any fruit.

It did get her thinking about something that happened to her back at home. ]

Are you afraid that it's too good to be true?

[resenting]

I'll need directions, but I'll be there.

My friend is a girl, so you won't need to worry about anything weird happening. So we're clear, I'm not doing anything R-18.

[tigerpoet]

I can do that. I really want to see what kind of meme you come up with.

[I place my life in your hands, Len.]

[dereban]

Well, I might come up with several. . .

[ Although the first one he'll get is this.

You're welcome. ]

[tigerpoet]

I certainly won't complain. Especially if it helps you feel better about this.

['But I only wrote the one novel??'

Thank you, you are a delight.]

[dereban]

Well, I'm always here to make terrible, terrible jokes.

[tigerpoet]

I appreciate it, I don't think I'm very funny myself. I'm not much of a humor writer.

[dereban]

My sense of humor isn't necessarily the best. . . ah, but--

[ Here's another one. ]

[scarsnstripes]

[That's more than fine, because when Inaba pulls he'll follow, settling close on the couch, close enough to touch.

Especially since he notices how sad her expression was there, for a moment. He squeezes her hand in his, gently.]

I can't imagine living in a place this big on my own, honestly. But I was never used to having a lot of room to myself either, even before I came to Yokohama.

[he makes a mental note to himself, to see about visiting Inaba sometimes. It might help make things less....]

[tigerpoet]

Oh, I like this one.

[is this his picture of bsd atsu or inaba's? a mystery. but it's probably inaba.]

It's a very good photograph.

[dereban]

My room back home was actually this big.

[ She closes her eyes shut, sounding a little bit wistful; perhaps even just slightly melancholic. ]

It was large and spacious. It had... too much room, actually. That's why it felt lonely, a lot of the time.

[ And here, it does as well. Maybe that's made just a little obvious by how her hands slightly tremble. ]

[dereban]

It really is.

[ She sagely nods.

It would not be a surprise if it was Inaba's, since she saves a lot of images. ]

[scarsnstripes]

....Really?

[His eyes widen in understanding at that admittance, because... yeah. He really can't imagine living like this.

He'd always found Kyouka's presence in the dorms back home to be a comforting one, and now Dazai's in their shared apartment. Even at the orphanage... no one was privileged enough to have space to themselves, aside from the staff.]

Well... if it wouldn't trouble you, I mean.... Would you like me to come over more in the future? It might make things a little less lonely, to have company over.

[He brings his other hand up, clasping both of hers between his in hopes of soothing that tremble.]

[dereban]

I always felt more comfortable with other people around.

[ Whenever she would have those sleepovers with the rest of the club, she couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief. That she wasn't actually alone, in spite of always having isolated herself.

She sighs, however, her shoulders sagging slightly. ]

You wouldn't be a bother. Although I can't say how entertaining I'll be as a host.

[dereban]

[ Inaba nods her head in response to her question. ]

It's kind of like. . . how people get addicted, you know? Like what happens to someone who goes home and remembers all of this and realizes that - hey, you can't do this kind of shit anymore?

Wouldn't that be bad for some people?

[scarsnstripes]

I'm the same way. The rooms were pretty full at the orphanage I grew up in, and even at the agency I shared a dorm with a friend.

[He understood, he really did. He thinks it was the silence that got to him most... the stillness.

He smiles at Inaba softly, squeezing her hands again.]

It's fine. Just spending time with a friend is more than enough for me.

[dereban]

Oh-

[ She hears the word orphanage and laughs a little hollowly, curling herself in just a little bit as she buries her head into her thighs, but she doesn't let go of him. ]

Why is everyone here so kind to people they barely even know? It's almost disgusting, really.

[necroyalty]

We've lost so much due to the Chained God's antics that it would be hard for me to determine whether or not what you say is fact.

It's a shame, really.

[scarsnstripes]

[Ah... was that awkward to admit? He'd grown so used to people just accepting that aspect of his past, but maybe it was too much for a simple explanation.

He looks a little sheepish at her comment, though.]

I don't think it's a bad thing? I kind of like how helpful everyone here is.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Huh.

[ That was actually a little different than she expected. Inaba probably felt like there had to be a drawback somewhere. This was basically the human mind at work. And it was the reason why that Cosmo Entelechiea was not as effective as Fate dreamed of. ]

To be honest, I don't know. Though if it were addicting, I imagine it would be affecting more of us right now, not just when we go home.

[ Konoka wondered if that also meant herself, but... ]

I feel like we need this to live regardless, so the only thing I can think of is to cross that bridge once we get to it.
