Is this how you work it? I really need some-oh, it's on! Great! It was getting frustrating after a while, but it...looks like the video on this thing is working.

[And so the face of a spikey-haired boy comes into view, his face showing signs of excitement.]

Ciaossu! Listen, there's a problem here. See, this place keeps on popping up on my computer, and I've tried several times to make it go away. But, it just won't! I really don't know what to think about it.

Anyways, it's really starting to clog up my computer by this point, and I'm wondering if there is any way to just make it go away. What is this place supposed to be, some sort of...social network site? This is all sounding way too familiar with what Natsume-san does.

...oh, right! I forgot about it. Ahem, my name is Souhei Sasahara, but my friends call me "Sasayan", so feel free to call me that. If you have any idea on how to help me, please let me know! If it doesn't go away then... [A bit of despair seemed to flash on his face at that point, quickly replaced by his usual grin.] Thanks, you've been helpful!

No, no, it's alright, you're barely learning these things. It's only natural that there'd be some confusion thrown into the mix. [He wonders who could have taught her, then...] Ehe, calling me "Mr. Sasayan" would make me feel old, so either Sasayan or Sasayan-kun would work just fine!

Hey, no problem! Anything for a new friend!

Sasayan then. I'm likely to forget the suffixes or get confused again otherwise.

[ How many of these suffixes are there anyway.. ]

So you don't think you have fairies in your world then?

Alright, well, I think we've settled for something that everyone can agree on.

[Hopefully for the better.]

Eh, I'm not sure, really. I haven't seen one with my own eyes, and I have no clue what fairies would do in the first place.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Sasayan.

[ Lydia puts up a fingers, more than happy to talk about fairies. ] There are many different kinds of fairies. Have you ever had only one sock go missing?

Eh? Now that you mention it, I've always wondered where those other socks went...I thought it might have been because of my negligence of throwing my clothes or something, but...

W-Wait a minute, you're telling me fairies do things like that!?

Brownies normally help to clean up around the house, but sometimes they get mischievous and tend to take things, like socks.

[Brownies? That's an odd way of naming a fairy. Oh well, the more you learn.]

So what you're telling me is they clean up around the house...and steal my socks? That's a little dirty. Ehe, oh well, is there anyway of getting them back, at least?

Amongst other things. When something seemingly falls off of a desk because of nothing or perhaps you trip on your own feet, it's usually them. They can be quite playful.

If you had a worldhop, perhaps I could ask them for you? Once I'm back in Scotland, of course. I'm a little busy at the moment.

These fairies really are cumbersome, then. I've always thought it was the wind that actually made my stuff fall down. And... [His face grew rosy again.] I always thought I tripped myself, but that's a whole different story!

Excuse me, a worldhop? What exactly is that?

They're actually quite harmless outside of those few things and can be quite helpful. [ Lydia smiles earnestly. She really does love fairies. Though after a moment she tilts her head, looking to the side. ] At least Brownies. Other types can be much more dangerous, especially if you're not careful.

I'm not exactly sure, but I'm told it's something that can allow you to travel from your world to others and back again.

[He meets her smile with one of his own.] You really do take interest in these fairies, don't you? [When she mentioned "dangerous" fairies, that caused him to tilt his head.] These guys can be dangerous, too? It must be their pranks gone awry, then.

... [The look on his face when she described that was caught between disbelief and sheer amazement.] They can do that here?!

Of course! Just because most people can't see them doesn't mean I can ignore them or pretend they're not there. [ There's a slightly unsure look. It's hard to give fairies a good image when people tend to not see them as "cultural differences" and more as dangerous sometimes. ] Well, things like leprechauns and clurichans are quite fond of drink and can get into quite a bit of trouble... Humans don't always get along with fairies simply because of some fairies diets, of course. [ She's just hoping he gets the implication that certain ones eat humans. ]

Yes! I haven't done it myself, but I've been transported to other places during parties.

I know what you mean. Tell me, can you see some around me right now, though? [He's motioning to the space around him. He can't even tell if he hit one just now or not. Oh well.] Oh, you guys have leprechauns too? I've always wanted to catch one to see if I can get rich off of them, but ehe, it doesn't seem like that'll be happening anytime soon. [...wait, fairy diets? What...oh.] So, some fairies actually...well, that's something I sort of expected. These things sure are...varied.

Hehe, well, if I ever had one, you'd be welcome to come visit sometime soon! It's always nice to hang out with new people.

If there were, they wouldn't be hanging around your head. Can you show underneath your bed? If there are brownies in your room, they probably got stuck in there on accident. [ She nods, smiling a little shyly. ] Even the ones who do have diets like that can be friendly, though, so please don't think that they're monsters.

[ This guy really is too friendly to her though. It's not a bad thing, it's just.. not what she expects. She does question it a little bit, especially since he's not questioning her about fairies like everyone does even if she can find ways to provide proof. Is he trying to trick her..? ]

I appreciate it.

Under my bed? [He shrugs, lifting up his webcam and placing it right under his bed.] I would see why they would get stuck under there, though. I don't even know what's under there myself! [A little laugh, followed by a tilt of his head.] ...So despite eating people, they still want to talk to them? Man, that takes talking to your food to a whole new level...

Hey, no problem! You'd probably like how nice and quiet it is here, anyways!

[Don't mind him, he's just overly friendly with anyone.]

Near the back edge. [ What is with that mess.. ] Do you have a lemon and a glass of water handy? I can show you how to help him out.

I must admit, I do miss the quiet sometimes. I've been unexpectedly traveling lately.

I dunno about either of those, I would have to go downstairs to actually check it out. Give me one sec... [A small sigh. If he had lemons in his room, it would be really weird. In any case, he runs downstairs, and comes back, a sliced lemon in one hand, and a glass of water in the other.] What do I do now?

Traveling, huh? What exactly are you doing, traveling to see different things and such?

Squeeze about half of the lemon into the glass of water, then drop single drops to make a trail of the lemon-water across the floor to your door, fairly slowly. It's like a trail of bread crumbs to lure birds, except this attracts brownies.

Originally I was going to see my father in London, then I got kidnapped, followed by a second kidnapping away from the first kidnapper. Now I'm being paid to help retrieve a sword guarded by the merrow.

[This is strange enough as it is, but he decides to go along with it. Doing as she says, he's already in the process of dropping the lemon-water across his floor. He can't help, but feel this is all really, really silly. Why is he doing this again...?] Alright, there. I guess I'll...wait, then. [He plops himself on the floor.]

...W-Wait a second, you were kidnapped?! And you don't seem phased by it at all...are you sure you're ok? [Ok in the head is what he meant, but he didn't want to come off as rude.] ...My, you must have a crazy life...

He's following you, just make sure there's enough room to get out the doors. About 15 centimeters should be enough.

I'm better now. It was quite some time ago. [ There was a lot of freaking out then, especially since she was pretty convinced Edgar was a serial killer arsonist too. ] Besides, it's a large paycheck and someone has to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

...To get out the doors? [That statement puzzled him. But...it's good to know she at least saw this thing in his room? Ah, he shrugged once more, and allowed those fifteen centimeters.] How big are these brownies, anyways?

Ah, well, I would have imagined that it would have been traumatizing for someone like you to be kidnapped. You seem awfully kind as it is. [Or so he thinks so far. Who knows, maybe she has a dual personality? Ah, Sasayan, stop thinking these things.] ...the wrong hands?

They're fairly small, but portly and about.. [ She shows him with her hands, about the size of a garden gnome. ] that large, with scrunched faces.

Well, I have Nico with me and Edgar has been.. much kinder than the other individual after my expertise. He wasn't the one chasing me with a battleship, after all. [ No dual personality or anything, alas. She's just... too kind to leave Edgar even though she had a chance. ] It's a special sword that indicates nobility and would give the owner, if obtained, rights to land in the fairy world as well as kinship to the king in this world and recognition as the Blue Knight Earl.

Wow, that's not big at all! I was actually expecting them to be the size of a mouse, but...eh. Too bad I can't see them myself...

[Wow, from the sound of it, her world must be totally bonkers.] Nico and Edgar? Are those your friends from your world, or are they escort of sorts? [A sword that'll make the user a king? Sounds like a fairy tale, already.] ...man, that really is nuts, I'm glad I'm here in simpler times...

Fairies vary in size and shape, just as earthly creatures do.

Nico is a friend of mine, he's a fairy cat. Edgar is the man I'm traveling with who employed me. [ Just kinship with one! Not the actual king.. ] It was simple until very recently.

[Now he's getting the vision of a fairy being about as big as a bear.] So they're not that different from anything on this Earth, huh? That's actually pretty cool. You really do have a cool job!

...A fairy cat. [Something about that just seems off.] Eh? You mean with kidnapping?
