This is the third time now. No means no, you know. At this rate, I'm going to start feeling bullied. I might even cry.

[ wow who is this dead-eyed kid. if you recognise him, you have either a) seen him on the community before, or b) you remember him from the time when shijima was fighting him and yoite. ]

And you took in someone like Kouichi, too. Is the truth that you really like Kouichi more than you like me?

[ he had a feeling this would happen. he had some kind of feeling this would occur. he had a feeling - and he'll be off to contact shijima before ever responding. off to contact her before ever thinking of it. (it causes more issues. another wrench in the works. and they've piled up. they've continued to pile up. first yoite, now --) ]

It's found Miharu-kun too, huh.

[ there's a small beat. gosh. rude: ]

Ah, it's so persistent! If you talk to it a little, it'll go away until later.

[omniferous]

Yeah. I've been here a few times before. [ ... and he's never had anyone else from their world before, so he should probably check - ] Are we at the same time point?

[owlcreation]

[ ... oh. well, he didn't anticipate that. ]

... I guess that saves strange explanations, doesn't it?

[ there's a small beat: ] I am not too sure. [ well, there's no way to disguise being from different time periods, if they are. if he were to ask the kouichi that could be there this question, it'd inevitably result in that diversion becoming untangled. ] I think asking each other would be best, but it's likely to be a little awkward if we're not, isn't it?

What day is it, then?

[unknownrival]

Oh. It's you.

Somehow I still like Aizawa better.

[omniferous]

Weird. Maybe glasses people flock together.

[unknownrival]

It could be that way.

[whysomean]

Yeah, totally. We took a vote on it and everything.

Wait, who's Kouichi?

[omniferous]

That's cruel. I'm definitely going to cry now.

He's just one of my classmates. A four-eyes guy with white hair.

[heavenlyhome]

Welcome back to the community. It does seem to find you whenever it likes, doesn't it?

[omniferous]

It's fine. I wasn't really doing anything. But if it wants me here, it should just stop letting me leave, or else I feel like I'm being tricked.

[didiscareyouyet]

I like you both the same... but I don't know him, either.

[omniferous]

It's fine. That way, you're making an unbiased judgement.

[makewayforroze]

So this is the third time it's brought you back? I didn't realize it did so beyond the second time.

[omniferous]

It needed me to survive, probably. I'm really popular.

[ it doesn't take more than an instant.

it doesn't take more than a moment. and he can feel the nervous rush of knowing. he can feel the sudden burst of knowledge that he had dreaded, perhaps. that he had hoped would not cause more difficulties, perhaps. that would not - but the voice is unmistakable. the expression. the way he stares at the camera. there is no one else. (and it comes with a feeling that stifles and stutters in and out. it comes with the turning of thoughts. quickly. it comes with a sudden steeling - and the trembling of hands. the curling of fingers. it comes with -- trouble.

brought back. brought back. the presence of others.)

he had a feeling that the other one was here. he had a feeling there was another one here. despite attempts at evasion. despite attempts at escaping. he had an inkling - and there's a small pause as he registers the name. applies it, with some thought, to the other boy he had put down. for a moment. temporarily. (and he's taking in what information he gives. taking in what information he could give. ahead -- and it is less likely to put a trip in their plans. to knot up what has been given. to -- perhaps.

and there's a blotch that comes through, first. slow. and it grows, as though with the spanning of his thoughts. it grows, for a beat or two. it stops.

lifts: ]

We're in the same time.

[ and there is no sign of that initial moment of uncertainty. there is no sign of it, at all. disguised under a quick hand and a quicker shaping of letters.

stillness. ]

( locked; 1/2 )

[omniferous]

Yoite—

( locked; 2/2 )

[omniferous]

[ text is easier. even if it's locked, when it comes to yoite, text is a lot easier. they still don't know how to deal with each other yet, and miharu doesn't want to be the first one to trip up. so, text. indifference. ]

Okay. On the community, should we appear as friends or enemies? There will be annoying people either way.

[angel_promise]

Maybe it missed you.

[omniferous]

I guess that's understandable. I still don't like it, though.

[anonymous]

[anothersoul]

Ah, I see. Hm. People with odd tempraments group together, it seems.

[omniferous]

Do you think so? I don't really see it.

[timey_wimey]

Third time here and you've kept your memories, hmm? I'd say that means it likes you more than it likes Kouichi if you asked me.

Although, could always mean the community's just taken a real shine to your world in general, mind.

[omniferous]

Yeah. Both Kouichi and Yoite, and now there's also me... It's annoying. We're totally boring people.

[ he's not even trying to make that a convincing lie. ]

[shadow_spread]

Are you a friend of Aizawa-kun's?

[omniferous]

Sure. We're classmates, mostly.
