Action - 004 [4th Wall - Open to all]

[moezama]

[...there seems to be a lot of people showing up today here in Luceti. Technically New Feathers were still showing up but...today there just seems to be more of them coming in than usual.

Well, he'll try not to get into people's way as he tries to head for the library. There, he'll just hide out in his usual spot, in a corner of the library and hide behind his books. He's been here so many times and still couldn't locate what he was looking for.

You can meet him anywhere along his path to the library, or at the library.]

[W-What--Kazuma is just, going to slide off the couch now to get some space between himself and that panda]

W-What...do you need something? [Does it want food? Because he already gave most of it to the Wakka wakka thing]

[neversayno]

[The panda holds out a container of cheese to Kazuma. Panda brand cheese.

Yes, this is what was missing.]

[not_meatbuns]

[Well, it's not her usual ingredient bonanza, but she can make plenty with just this. Don't mind her making herself right at home again in the kitchen, gathering things up for making dinner. Oh yeah, and tea. That too.]

I'm glad. Hopefully Tao has been well-behaved enough...

[And not groping people.]

[moezama]

[...cheese? What?]

Ah, do you want me to have that...?

[moezama]

...Tao hasn't been around as much lately. [No doubt still upset over Litchi leaving]

She'll come back around dinner though, so you'll definitely be able to see her. [Tao probably needs it too.]

[neversayno]

[Duh. Can't you understand simple gestures?]

[suckswithmaps]

Ohhh, that's right... I don't think you ever met him. Mitsuyoshi is kind of like a cat too. It couldn't have been him though, since he would never do that!

[moezama]

[...there are more of them? 8|;;;;;;] W-Well, anyway...it seems like we remember different things. You must be more further along than me, because none of that stuff you said I did happened. [...] I don't think anyway...

[moezama]

[;w;]

Um...[o-ok, he'll take it then.] Thank you...?

[neversayno]

[Thank you for taking the time to consider Panda brand cheese, Kazuma.

Now eat it.]

[not_meatbuns]

[She's silent for a moment as worry for Tao starts to stir. After a short pause, though, she brightens up again.]

I wonder if I should try to find Tsubaki and the others to invite them over as well. Do you think your new housemates would mind?

[moezama]

Eh? Ah...no, I'm...I'm sure they'd be fine having guest over. I could get my journal and ask them though.

[suckswithmaps]

[And now she's the one who's confused..!] Further along...? In time, you mean? How is that possible..?

[moezama]

I think so. This world, it has a way of pulling people from the same place from different times. [...]

I've met others here who are over a hundred years in the future.

[not_meatbuns]

That would be wonderful. We'll have the whole family together.

[Because give her five minutes and she'll go find Dave.]

[moezama]

[That's cool, Kazuma will be...taking a little while longer than he had anticipated. It's not because he couldn't reach the others, it's just that he suddenly experienced a massive headache when he walked into his room.

The reason why he hasn't been getting much sleep lately was that the voices that constantly haunt him were happening almost ever other night. Even when he's awake now, he hears them and they're not the most pleasant kind of voices. They were voices of two people fighting. Almost every time he had these, there were always the two same voices, two very angry voices lashing out at each other. One he's positive belonged to Ragna, the other...the other sounded like him.

He's having another episode of that in his room and is just...going to lay on his bed for a while and hope they'll go away soon.]

[suckswithmaps]

Woah, really? A hundred years into the future...?!

[...Does that make us old, Kazuma...]

[moezama]

[More like dead...Though Kazuma kinda cheated that. Only kinda.]

Besides myself, everyone here from our world is from the future. You're the first from around the same time as me. Sort of. [..A smile] It's kind of nice, to know the world is still ok after all that time. I heard the Black Beast was already killed by that point.

[suckswithmaps]

[Cheater!]

Oooh I see... It must have been really strange when you met them then-- [waaaait. Caelica's not from that far along, so...] Ahhh the Black Beast was really killed?

[moezama]

[It was meant to be. He nods]

Probably not too far in our own future from the sound of it. I don't know the whole details, but the ones responsible for it's death are known as the Six Heroes in their time.

[suckswithmaps]

[Huh. That's great to hear! It would be awful if the Black Beast was still there...]

The Six Heroes, huh...? I wonder who they are.

[moezama]

I never got to ask about that. [...Just now did he notice Caelica was lacking the trademark Luceti wings]

You don't have them either...

[suckswithmaps]

In that case, maybe you could ask sometime! There's a chance that we may know them, if they happen to come from our time.

[She turns her head to glance at her back when she notices Kazuma looking.] Have what?

[moezama]

Wings...you should have wings. Unless they're under your cloak...

[Like his]

[suckswithmaps]

Wings...? I've never had anything like that...

[She lifts her cloak and pulls it off to the side a bit to show her back, but... nope. No wings.]

See? No wings. [Is she supposed to have them..?]
