10 ~ comparing those worlds to this boring, normal life [audio/picture]

[menial]

['Well. It sure got cold pretty fast, huh? Which means that I'm rapidly approaching the one-year mark, so I should really be proud. Or something. After burrowing myself away to avoid complications from refugees, my antisociality has reached a certain limit.

Unfortunately, I also have nothing to contribute beyond the observation about the weather which I already blithely used up there! Not that people can read my thoughts, but if they could, they'd find out. Well, they'd find out a lot of things. But who would want to anyway? It would just go on and on without any point.

Anyway, I guess I'll poorly disguise my attempt to see who's up for a random conversation with some kind of opener. Hey, if I were at home, this would be a mind-scarring Omegle session or something. At least I'm pretty sure I won't run into the usual problems stranger-chatting over the journal.'

...and so:]

So I found this in a book the other day.



Maybe this doesn't work as well over the journal, but I thought it was cool, anyway. Or at least different from discussions about fire and eternal suffering, continued kidnapping, disappearance, reappearance, cross-dressing, and so on.

...

['"Let's see 'em ladies, those wonderful chests of yours! Beautiful, bouncy, and ripe for the picking! I can't wait, I can't wait! Just one touch~!"...


...Ah yes.']

Completely believable, when it comes to your older brother. Excused.

[repudiate]

I'm glad you already realise this much. [ along with at least half of luceti thanks to that broadcast.. ]

So that means I won't get a bad remark on my record, right?

[menial]

Well, Ange-chan, I can't avoid putting down that it's missing. But we'll waive the penalty this time.

[repudiate]

... You know, I think we're going to have to cut this out. Being called 'Ange-chan' is just too creepy to bear.

[menial]

Ah, have I found a weakness in your hard exoskeletal exterior, Ange-chan?

[repudiate]

No, it's just that I don't like overly familiar guys. It's like they're trying way too hard to get into your pants.

[menial]

['Don't worry. All I have to do is picture Maebara rambling on while he's at it with you, and all desire fades into a queasiness.']

Really? But I thought you more or less liked your brother.

[repudiate]

I like my brother because he's my brother. [ that's like admitting to being a brocon, ange.. ] If I randomly met a person who was entirely like him, I doubt I'd even care all that much.

[menial]

You know, it might be best not to say things like "I like my brother because he's my brother," given recent tree-spread rumors.

[repudiate]

.. Maybe it'd be beneficial then for you to stop thinking with your nether parts and instead use your head.

[menial]

When it comes to you, Ushiromiya, I know better than to think with anything except my head, and possibly gallbladder. Believe me, nothing could be less stimulating to the nether regions than the thought of your brother.

[repudiate]

It's okay, I'm pretty sure he thinks the same about you. After all, your boobs aren't developed enough for his tastes.

[menial]

Thanks. That actually is reassuring.

[repudiate]

I didn't take you to be the kind of guy who was insecure about his boob size. I guess you really do learn something new every day.

[menial]

Well, not all of us can be as sanguine as you about our small chests, Ushiromiya.

1 / 2

[repudiate]

... You really think mine are small?

[repudiate]

[ .. WAIT WHY DID SHE LET HERSELF GET DRAGGED ALONG BY THE JOKE-- ]

Forget I said anything. This conversation is now erased from your mind.

[menial]

['I think that counts as a win, right?']

...Is that your magical power?

For the record, yours are completely fine.

[pause.]

Your excuses, that is. As we were talking about earlier.

[repudiate]

Good to see my magic still works every single time. [ there's a tiny sigh of relief though - she seriously dodged a bullet there.. for now.. ]

But seriously, what I mentioned earlier.. are you really bored enough to discuss stuff like that picture over the journals?

[menial]

['Heh. Frankly, flustering Ushiromiya is a win every day in my book.']

Well, yeah, but not so much so that I wouldn't do something else if there were better suggestions.

[repudiate]

You could go and try to find a hobby. [ pot, kettle, etc. ]

[menial]

Huh. Well, what kind of hobby do you have, Ushiromiya?

[repudiate]

That's classified information.

[menial]

['Wow. Ushiromiya saying it mostly emphasizes how cute it was when Asahina-san said it. Sorry, Ushiromiya, you can't match up there.']

In other words, it doesn't exist?

[repudiate]

[ .. give her a moment to think of how to say this while maintaining some dignity. ]

I don't need some concept like 'hobbies' for my free time. [ good job, ange, now that just makes you sound like a weirdo. ]
