( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )

There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently?

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble. It might've changed since the last time you saw it.

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin.

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

[ someone in her... boobs? tsukasa chances a glance at them again, then away just as quickly. he's not gonna do it a third time. ]

I... see. Maybe it's like my cat and they're, er... Back home, or something. Hopefully. Blissfully unaware that you've left at all.

[ this will be the most permissible it will be to stare at someone's boobs ]

Oh. They'd notice if I'm not there, probably.

[ if time is passing anyway ]

[ YOU YELLED AT CARD FOR THIS!! I WON'T FALL FOR IT and tsukasa is too polite, for now ]

I'm not sure I really believe all of that nonsense on that pillar anyway. I mean, I've heard - read? - weirder from— [ a beat, and, he clears his throat ] From. From elsewhere.

[ he's still on the fence about talking about the app to people he doesn't remember seeing on it but it's okay ]

But it sounds... even less plausible than those notices.

[ from elsewhere...

well, he's obviously hiding something, but hajime just goes for the "pretend he didn't say anything weird" route and carries on. ]

I guess we're going to have to find out! Mystery, mystery...

[ thank you hajime you are too kind and too gracious ]

Mystery, mystery... Just like home. [ if only goro was here!! ] But where would we even begin?

We ask around! And take pictures!

[ that last one is less important ]

Take pictures? [ ...ohhh wait. ] For, um... Evidence, right? And so we don't lose our way.

That's a great use for them!

[ she just wanted to take pictures ]

[ his expression flits right to "what, that wasn't their intended purpose??" but you're valid hajime don't mind him ]

...Um, yeah. Do you have a camera, or are you just gonna use your phone? [ he's kinda on the fence about using his bc

Where Are The Charge Spots, Space

but if other people want to it's nunhisbiz ] Not that it matters to me, but one of them's easier to keep powered... since I think there's probably batteries in the store?

We could charge our phones with potatoes.

[ it's said very seriously ]

I'm sure we can figure it out if we can find the supplies here.

...I guess I remember an experiment in science class that was something like that. Making a lightbulb turn on, I think. [ so in theory he

he guesses it could work? ] But, ummm, alright... You're very optimistic, aren't you?

[ tbh he likes it, optimistic people are just... good? so he sounds quite happy when he tell-asks her so. ]

I just think we should try before assuming something might not work!

[ so, yes

she is rather optimistic... usually. it's complicated. ]

Then let's try it right now. I'm always happy to, um... try new things with a new... a new friend?

[ best friends...... art club....... be proud of him he is TRYING. ]

Ah, me too! It's a fun way to bond, isn't it? You get to learn new things about each other.

[ they're friends now.

she's going to grab onto his arm. to the potatoes. ]

[ they're friends!!!

to the potatoes. hmm... ]

Does size matter when it comes to this kind of thing? [ does potato species matter ]

I'm not sure! We can try a small one and a larger one to see the difference?

[ really science it up ]

Good idea. [ do they need a control. what even acts as a control potato in this situation. ] Species? Or... no, let's just go with a standard potato.

[ good ol'fashioned uhhhhhh idaho i guess, those are the usual aren't they. potatoes are all the same to me. ]

...Should we get lab coats and goggles to complete the look?

[ Really science it up ]

Yesssss! Lab safety 101!

[ you never know

they might explode a potato ]

[ i mean

looks at everything else going on in this game

checks out ]

Then let's shop for those as well. Ooh, and gloves... [ anyway so potatoes

giant bulk bag of potatoes (these exist and they are 50 lbs of potatoes and i hate this), or one massive potato (the biggest ever was apparently 10 lbs but let's go with 30 lbs potato). ]

...They don't have anything smaller?

[ huh

she's going to walk over to one of the bags and like

try to pick it up

hm ]

We have a challenge on our hands.

[ he'll go over and help her too!!

hm ]

We do. Should I get a cart? We can try to tip it in or something...

... possibly!

It would be bad if we hurt ourselves for science.

[ even if that would also be the most sciencey thing they could ever do.

BUT ROGER-DODGER, HAJIME... he'll go get a cart and run it right back. or ride it over more accurately. he did this with itaru okay. it's fine.

beep beep. ]

Um... I can probably get it if you want to hold the cart for me. [ that's

probably safest anyway so ]

Hm... okay.

[ she will allow this

and walk over to the cart and bump him away from the handle bar ]

[ phew.

bumped off!! he'll do that then. a little bit of a struggle, and tsukasa is content to just like, lean on the cart once the potatoes are in, but like

yo

he did it ]

......Ugh. We don't need this many potatoes. I already know we don't. Would anyone care if we just... passed them out?
