[Hi, community, have an unusually distressed-looking Kano.]

Okay, this really isn't good. I wish these things wouldn't hit me while I'm trying to travel with people who don't know about the community.

Kano, I've woken up in your body. If I had to guess, you're probably in mine - it would make sense, at least. We need to talk. Soon, probably, before both our friends start thinking there's something wrong; I need to know what you ought to know so I can pass for you until the virus ends.

I think Sis already suspects something about the community. It's kinda hard to hide it after the viruses that have happened to me, with her. Just be thankful that she's a lot less crazy-protective these days. Otherwise, she'd probably threaten you with a scalpel... then again, you probably shouldn't let her know that you're somebody else in my body. After, you know. Everything else.

He didn't even tell you, then? Geez, talk about a lazy guy. I bet she just blew something up, like usual.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

I wasn't planning on it. Honestly, that's why I was asking. At least I'm not a terrible actor...

Well, probably, but we don't even know that he's after her for something she did. Who knows, maybe he wants her to blow something up for him.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

That's just something she'll never want to happen to me. Ever again.

Why do you have to help him get her?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

... Oh. Right. Um. Sorry.

Well, he did ask Seyruun for assistance, and Amelia and I are probably the people who know her best. Apart from Gourry, but he's actually with her, so it's not like he's going to be much help.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

It's not like it's your fault, Zel-kun.

He's the... um... *give her a moment to think of something less insulting than "the dumb guy"* The guy with the sword, right?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be him. He's the best swordsman I've ever seen - which is kind of surprising, since I'm amazed he can even tie his boots sometimes.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Really?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but not much. I honestly expect to have to remind him of my name again; it's been a while since I've seen him and Lina and after a few months he tends to forget.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Sounds like what I remember.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I think we could trust him to remember Lina if they got separated, though. If only because he'd be focused on trying to get back to her.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Which, I guess, brings us back to what we're supposed to do.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how much we can do, apart from wait out the virus and try not to horribly screw things up for each other.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

What if your friends start catching on?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

I... don't really know what we'd do then, to be honest.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Is there any reason you're keeping this place from them?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Apart from the fact that they'd think I was crazy? I just... don't really want to have to deal with the community affecting Amelia, so I'm trying to put it off as long as I can.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Ohh, I get it~

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Hm? What do you get?

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I'm not gonna tell anyone!

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

... Tell anyone what?

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Your secret, of course.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

And what secret would this be?

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

You should know your own secret, shouldn't you?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, except I don't know what secret you're talking about.

[He still seems flustered, though.]

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

You're in denial, then?

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Being in denial would require you to tell me what it is you think I'm denying.

[ifbymyhands.livejournal.com]

Don't worry so much! I already said I wouldn't tell anyone.

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but the problem is that you're not telling me.

*smiiiiiile*
