2 ~ in truth, this sort of silly question holds no real significance for me [audio/action]

['End of the month. Check. Strange things appearing for no reason. Check. This would be, if I had the choice, the part where I run and hide from the experiment. However, the content that appeared is just bizarre.']

[audio]

"A fart will follow you into the car, ruining your date."

This sounds like one of those bad Western comedies. You know, the ones with lazy slacker heroes who're forced into wacky adventures...

['Wait, if I had to honestly describe my own life... As they say at home, the eye wax laughing at the snot*.'

And so he decides to leave it at that.]

[action]

[Today, then, Kyon will be found wandering around in the Welcome Center and the plaza, annoyed, because, quite according to the horoscope, his keys are missing.

'This does not bode well. Well, I guess "against all odds, you will accomplish a basic task" isn't ominous so much as simply insulting. But "you will have a chance encounter with romance today so take a bath, for God's sake"... That one could be problematic. In all kinds of ways.']

[*ooc: Japanese idiom, something like "the pot calling the kettle black".]

...Even though they don't care about you, huh? I see...

['Seriously, what kind of girl is this? Sounds like she belongs in the 1960s America at Woodstock.']

[happyends]

Hmm, even if they don't care about me.. I would still feel bad if no one at all cared about them.

[ voice ]

[menial]

...Well, that's a unique perspective. If you don't mind, I'll keep on mostly caring about other humans.

[ voice ]

[happyends]

O-- oh, no, I don't mind at all, of course..! Everyone is free to do what they want, I wouldn't want to get in anyone's way..

[ voice ]

[menial]

...Right.

['I'm starting to feel a little bad about this whole thing. Maybe I should try looking out for this girl more rather than questioning her. Doesn't sound like she's looking that much out for herself.']

I'm sorry, I don't think I ever got your name, by the way.

[happyends]

My.. name? [ the question comes out of left field to her, so she seems caught off guard for a moment, but then she quickly nods. ]

It's Madoka! Madoka Kaname, nice to meet you.

[ voice ]

[menial]

['Huh, one might think she made up a fake name given that little pause.']

Nice to meet you too, Kaname-san. My name is [whoooooosh! wind!]. Uh, but most people seem to call me "Kyon".

[ voice ]

[happyends]

...

In that case.. would it be okay for me to call you 'Kyon' too, or..

[ voice ]

[menial]

...Yeah, it's fine.

[ voice ]

[happyends]

Okay! In that case.. [ even though the feed is audio, she's still bowing her head a little, go figure. ]

It's very nice to meet you, Kyon-san!

[ voice ]

[menial]

Ah... You too, Kaname-san.
