[Miharu's sitting stretched out on his couch--he still looks a little beat up from that battle a few days ago.]

Glad to see Hayate's doing okay. But uh...guess who botched his landing and sprained his ankle?

[And the video quickly switches to his foot wrapped up in bandages, iced, and resting on a pillow.]

The Kougami Foundation's taking care of the monsters while I'm recovering, and I can at least do school online. But I'm going to get bored staying on the couch for a few days, so does anyone have any sugges...

[He's suddenly cut off as a dimensional curtain opens up behind him, and Kaitou comes diving through, ducking behind the couch.]

...And I guess Kaitou's here too now.

Minato-san, are you okay? Do you need help?

[oceanicbreak]

I'll be okay, just on crutches for a little while.

[aquaticrush]

Is there anything you need?

[oceanicbreak]

Honestly, just something to do. I'm getting bored fast.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry! I'll come over if you need to talk to somebody or anything like that.

[oceanicbreak]

It's okay, and yeah, that'd be nice.

[aquaticrush]

Do you really not need anything? Cake?

[oceanicbreak]

Sure. I can at least get to the kitchen and make some tea to go with it too.

[aquaticrush]

All right!

*Retasu gets there eventually with a small cake, wondering if she should have added something onto that post. At least a "Greed-san, if you're reading this, don't assume strange things" might have sufficed. She knocks.*

[Miharu manages to get over to the door on his crutches.]

Hi. Thanks for coming over. I'm not sure if my surprise guest left or ducked under the bed.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry! I must have upset him.

[oceanicbreak]

No, he was in a rush. I think a prank war got out of hand or something.

Anyway, come in. The water's still on the stove.

[aquaticrush]

Okay!

*She takes off her shoes with one hand, nudges the door closed, and carries the cake, following along with Miharu.*

I didn't mean to disturb you, Minato-san.

[spiritually]

You can do school online?

[ He's heard rumors of it being a possibility, but he never saw it in person. Small town and all that. ]

[oceanicbreak]

In my timeline, at least. I'm about 40 years ahead of most of the community, I think.

[spiritually]

What year are you from?

[oceanicbreak]

It's December 2041. I'm not sure if that's the farthest ahead anyone's come from here.

[spiritually]

There was a time traveler here once, a while back.

[oceanicbreak]

I think I remember seeing a couple of time travelers on here. And there was a creature I later learned was a time traveling hero from my world.

[spiritually]

Wow.. Well, I guess you're not the only one from the future though. I don't know about right now of course..

[oceanicbreak]

It's a little weird at times, though.

[spiritually]

How's that?

[oceanicbreak]

I'm a little slow on references, and I have to look up stuff. Plus, when someone actually is from my world, I have to be careful about what I say, since I might confuse them or tell them something about the future I really shouldn't.

[spiritually]

You're ahead of people even in your own.. [ well, he knows that's possible all too well. ] Nevermind I guess that makes sense.

[oceanicbreak]

It gets confusing sometimes.
