Hey there everyone. I've been here for... well, quite a while now, but I realized recently that I don't really know a lot of people here. Sorry about not really being around and talkative much, but well... using the internet like this is pretty weird for me. It's always been something my brother did...

... Anyway, I guess I should get to asking something so that there's a point to all of this. How many people here do martial arts and weapons training? I'm pretty into kendo myself, and well, I'm kinda curious to see how many people on the community know this kind of stuff.

[Private to Kirito, Yurippe]

The prototype Amuspheres finally came! It took them long enough, but I have both of them with me at my room now! Yurippe, when do you think you're going to be able to come over to pick yours up or try it out?

And Oniichan, if we have trouble setting this thing up you better walk me through it. We only have these to help you out, you know.

.. In other words, you've made friends on here? Is it something that sappy?

[kendoleaf]

... I've made a few of them. Is that really so weird?

[entreats]

Not really "weird". In fact, I'd probably say it's the norm, there's tons of people on here who are just looking to make friends and all that. I'm just saying it's not exactly my kind of thing.

[kendoleaf]

Oh. I see...

So, if making friends on the community isn't something you usually do, then what do you do on it?

[entreats]

.. Well, not really a whole lot. I mean, sure, I talk to people on it sometimes, but it's not like I have much of a choice. [ Normally she might have been at least a little eager to talk to people despite acting like she doesn't, but now her words are genuine. She's ran out of energy because of everything that happened. ]

This place appears everywhere when you don't spend any attention to it for too long, so it's more like forced socialisation.

[kendoleaf]

Yeah. I remember how it was when I first got access. Unplugging the computer didn't even do anything to stop it from happening. I was so freaked out.

[entreats]

I'm used to weirder stuff, so I can't really say it surprised me or anything. But even so, it's just a pain to deal with. Especially when it starts popping up when you're busy with other stuff.

[kendoleaf]

Yeah. I'm hoping that I'll get lucky and the next time it starts to bug me like it did the first time I won't be trying to do anything important.

Like, you know, school-work.

[ Or saving her brother from potential doom. ]

[entreats]

School work isn't that bad. [ Although she isn't in school anymore so it wouldn't be a worry for her.. it wouldn't be either way, technically, since Ange never really bothered in school to begin with. ]

I mean, there could be worse situations. Like being stuck in bath when it happens.

[kendoleaf]

It better not happen during that!

[ Because holy crap no. No letting the community see her naked. That was a big, big no! Never. Never ever! ]

That hasn't happened to you before, right? You're just being hypothetical?

[entreats]

.. Technically I'm being hypothetical, since you're right, it's never happened to me. [ Although she's very, very wary every single time she enters the bathroom, okay. After a while you learn to expect the unexpected.. ]

But it has shown others in those situations before, so I wouldn't dismiss the possibility.

[kendoleaf]

... That figures. I'll have to make sure not to ignore this thing then.

[ Because like hell was she going to give that anything remotely resembling a chance to happen. ]

[entreats]

Just say hi on it every now and then and it should be fine. I mean, I can't say I talk to a whole lot of people on here but it's usually satisfied.

.. Usually. [ Even she can't be saved from the random community appearances.. ]

[kendoleaf]

Yeah. I guess that's really all I can do. Well, that and hope that it doesn't catch me during something that's too embarrassing, I guess.

[entreats]

It's sort of like Russian roulette, isn't it? Except you don't have the option whether you want to join the game or not, you play instantly. A game of Russian roulette with embarassing situations rather than bullets at stake.

[kendoleaf]

Yeah. I guess so.

[ Though that was a seriously grim thing to compare the community to. ]
