If I start doing that, you'll know it's not actually me. But changing my mind doesn't mean I gave up either.
[ They had broached this subject recently but it went a bit sideways with a personal history dump and all of that. That's probably why he needs to restate it more clearly, but it's also possible he's been doing some thinking in the time since then. ]
[ He has a pretty good idea of what Hikage is getting at with that, and he frowns down at his phone. He isn't eager to accept that decision either, but it's a very different situation anyway, and it isn't something he's ready to fight over now when it's not clear that it would even be a feasible option.
There's a substantial pause before he sends his one-word reply. ]
[ The future is ever changing, or it seems to be lately; shockingly it doesn't seem to be the worst thing either, at least for Hikage. But the specifics can be ironed out later. ]
Oh, also, when you're here, could you ask Marona at some point how she's liking it here? Like, while I'm in the shower or something and not there listening.
I'm not sure if she'd say anything to me if she was unhappy.
Oh! Very nice, it's been a few years now since I was last there.
[ He kind of wonders how he pulled off international travel without an identity... did he just do a good job of faking documents too, or did he steal someone else's passport and appearance...?
Well, anyway. ]
I'm glad you were able to go back if you wanted to.
[ ... ]
You're seriously going to travel to the other side of the world to play a video game, though?
I mean, I'm very happy that you are!!
[ should he ask him to look for some doujin-- no ]
That's another reason to not bother with all of that, running into advertisements of agents is weird enough. This world's taste isn't much better than the houses'.
[ He's def run into BSD and Fate, possibly Umineko but really he doesn't want to see Dazai ever again. ]
I guess you probably have a lot of that over there, don't you?
[ There's currently a stage play of his canon going on where he's played by a 28 year old from a boy band, so IF ANYONE DOES DECIDE TO PRY INTO HIS LIFE, he guesses he wouldn't be terribly broken up about it if it were that version... ]
How often do you see Dazai's stupid face? That's popular right now, isn't it?
[ boy he is right there with you on that one ]
...It actually looks like it's going to be raining here next weekend too, but the temperature should still be nice, at least.
Too often in both cases. Tohsaka is popular as well, I'd love to see her face if she saw it all she'd probably hate it. I haven't seen much of Sakaguchi though, so his favorite drink will remain a secret I guess.
[ Will he ever drop the salt about this topic, no. ]
It's not going to rain for an entire week right? I'll just have to buy an umbrella.
To be fair, Ango was pretty boring to look at, so I can see why they wouldn't be plastering his face everywhere if they actually want to make sales.
[ --Wait, are they doing a whole week?? That makes sense, of course, it's kind of a waste to take such a long flight for one weekend... Well!! No complaints about that! He definitely needs to stock up on groceries though. ]
I'm only looking at a 10 day forecast here, but I wouldn't expect so.
How much you needed one would really depend on how much you wanted to look around the area anyway, but yes, you can always do that!
And in a worst case scenario you could always share one with one of us.
[ he is 100% the duck instead of the rabbit in that one, whether he wants to acknowledge it or not ]
Oh. Well, either way is fine with me, so whatever you decide! It's summer, so I don't have classes to teach or anything.
I don't like it much either.
[ Getting trapped under ice in a lake and almost dying will do that, probably. ]
The capital where I lived when I was in the military was a floating city surrounding by waterfalls, actually, but it was all well controlled, so it wasn't like you got wet unless you were intending to.
I'll still take snow over rain any day.
You'll have to come back here sometime when it's colder.

IT'S A COMMON FIGURE OF SPEECH, I THINK YOU GET WHAT I MEAN.
All that to say I appreciate that you understand my intentions and don't give me any of that moral superiority garbage.
[ SO DON'T YOU START NOW ]

Right.

I'll see you next weekend.

I'm surprised she agreed to live with you actually, but I'm glad she did. The Foundation is still trash.
no subject
And I'm probably more surprised than you are, but yes, I'm glad too. It was sort of depressing here when it was just me and a bird.
[ very much an understatement, and it was worse before the bird. ]
So I'd like to think it worked out for the best for both of us.
no subject
There's a saying or something like that, isn't there? I'm not sure I believe in it, but I can make an exception or two.
no subject
Not in those exact words, I don't think, but I imagine so.
Finding the right company helps, anyway.

Yeah

Is there anything I should bring? Things are a little busy but I think I can get pretty much anything.

I don't think there's anything we would specifically need, besides these gaming things I'm already buying.
Maybe a pillow, but I can just buy another one of those too if that would be annoying to travel with.
What day were you planning on getting here anyway, Friday?
no subject
I'm going to be jetlagged so I don't think I'll sleep much anyway. Yeah, Friday...in the evening, if this time conversion is right.

Where are you coming from?

It's been good
...I could just play it in the arcades here, if you want. [ Don't call him out on his tsun? ]
no subject
No, I've just been there for some tech conferences, we had translators there. It would probably be useful to learn in this industry, though.
I've HEARD myself speak it, though, which was... a strange experience...
I SAID I WAS HAPPY YOU WERE COMING!!!

I don't know if I can stay more than the weekend, but I'll be in the United States for a week at least.
I don't really like to get wet, I had enough of that at the house too. And I should be the one giving Marona an umbrella, not the other way around.
