9 ~ Deep inside my heart I still wanted those aliens [written/action]
[written]
So, more New Feathers coming. Guess I'll first point out Maebara's helpful five-hour lecture on the SOS Brigade, for the new people. Welcome to Luceti, get ready for weird, et cetera.
But really, isn't it weirder how it works for us "Old, Slightly Decaying Feathers" than the new ones? After all, we keep seeing the same thing over and over. The shine's totally gone. All the New Feathers get to wake up confused with something new and surprising, and ask all the same questions about what this place is, and they, obviously, never get tired of it.
Whereas those of us who've been here a while just treat it as ordinary life, and are quite tired of explaining, and, hell, wrote a book on the topic. Even the mix is usually kind of the same, right? A few cute girls, a few brooding guys, random stuff in between. Usually one talking animal.
And I haven't even been here a quarter as long as some of us.
Anyway. It's a fair question if there's a "point" to this. I guess the question is, what would you say to a New Feather, as an Old Feather, as far as what to appreciate about the whole entry experience?

[After finishing that rather off-target ramble, Kyon will go for an off-target ramble of the physical variety, wandering around the general store for the afternoon and then sitting in the library... falling asleep.]

I wasn't aware you could have two of the same person at the same time.
voice
And see? There are still new things to learn about this place.
voice
So what's your other self like?
voice
Okita-san is much like me, but of course we're also different. Perhaps you should meet him and then you could see for yourself.
voice
I'm sure you can imagine it.
Alternate selves, on the other hand-- I guess that's always been a sci-fi thing.
