Does anyone know if Japan exists in this world? I've tried to see it for myself, and I couldn't get much of anything... it's sad. The more I think about it, the more the place back home needs me.

[ Filter: Private ]

I've wondered just what brought me here. The question has been circling in my mind so much, that it's been hard for me to use the Dragon's Eye. It might be because of Souichirou-sama, or the absence of my friends. Maybe there's a reverse-Red Wing Resonance Effect. I thought my powers would "awaken" more here because so many other people here have Powers. Right now I can't even tell who. There's a lot of things I want to know about this world, and if I can just use the Dragon's Eye, maybe I can help everyone find a way back home.

Would that be changing my Fate? Or would assuming everyone's here for a reason, and doing nothing be one of the countless mistakes that keeps the Gears I hear turning? There has to be something I can do.

Even if it's here, it wouldn't really be the same as the Japan any of us know, though, would it?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It might be different for some people, and the same to others. I would really like to find out.

If it still exists.

[forkball.livejournal.com]

I don't know if knowing would make me feel worse or better, honestly.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I don't know either, but I'd like to know the Truth.

[forkball.livejournal.com]

...it's a proper noun now?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

A proper noun? Ah, did I make a mistake?

I'm sorry, there's things about English I still don't understand.

[forkball.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I wasn't sure if I was mistaken, I guess?

I don't think "truth" is usually capitalized, is it?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It's important, isn't it?

Ah, well. ^_^; I'll check on that, thank you.

[forkball.livejournal.com]

I guess so. I never really thought about it much.

That's one good thing about being stuck here, I guess. My English is getting better.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

That's true! There's so many people here speaking English, that it's hard not to catch on.

You were the one who played baseball, right?

[forkball.livejournal.com]

My accent could still use a lot of work, though.

One of them, yes. There's a few of us.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

If we come across each other, maybe we can have a chat in Japanese! That would be refreshing, I think.

That sounds like fun! Do you have teams yet?

[forkball.livejournal.com]

You're right, I think. It really would!

Not really. We've found other people who play, but it's hard to get a proper game off the ground when you only have one battery, so...

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I guess it'd be hard to start a game here. There are a lot of people with different powers.

[forkball.livejournal.com]

There's that, too. It'd be hard to balance out.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I'd like to play sometime! I promise I won't cheat!

[forkball.livejournal.com]

Great!

Any position in particular, or...?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

I think I'd make a good outfielder! Left or right maybe? Maybe I can work my way up to center!

[forkball.livejournal.com]

That should work!

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Great! I can't wait! Just tell me when you're starting a game!

Oh, my name is Natsume Aya. It's a pleasure to meet you!

[forkball.livejournal.com]

It all depends if we can get another battery, but I'll let you know if we do.

I'm Kanou Shuugo, it's nice to meet you too.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it!

[falsecontract.livejournal.com]

It's gone now.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

You know that for sure?

[falsecontract.livejournal.com]

There's nothing there to miss.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Where did you find out?

[falsecontract.livejournal.com]

I assumed.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's a little depressing.

Do you know where we are now? There was a Japan at one time?

[falsecontract.livejournal.com]

Yes. They have histories.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Do you know where I could find the history?

[falsecontract.livejournal.com]

Library.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Aa, of course! I feel so stupid now.

Thank you!

[falsecontract.livejournal.com]

Mm.

[eighthshiner.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

You must have missed the whole "civilization got fucked" thing.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

No, I got that, I just...

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

Stop worrying about it.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It's hard not to.

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

That's stupid. I'm hungry and you're being philosophical.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

There was a Japan here once. I want to find out what happened... I usually know! Aa...

...You're hungry? What do you want?

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

It went boom.

Food.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Well... I'd like a little more detail...

Just food?

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

Whatever you feel like making.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

Ah... Alright. Would you mind going out and getting me some fresh salmon? I'll make some onigiri for us.

[ofoblivion.livejournal.com]

How can you tell if it's fresh?

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

It'll be bright orange. The brighter it is, the better. It should say "sushi grade" on it.

[powersurge.livejournal.com]

There's a globe in one of the geography classrooms at the school which has Japan marked on it. I just don't think it's inhabited anymore.

[ryuume.livejournal.com]

But it existed here, didn't it? It's just... things like that make me wonder..

[bestchild.livejournal.com]

Apparently there was only ever one Tokyo. This huge war never even happened, some pervert made it up, how sick is that! This world is stupid.
