[iamtetsuo]

[Goes back to playing. No. That doesn't even warrant consideration.]


I'll figure it out.

[learntofly]

[At least that's a reaction she's used to. Boys, never getting directions when they need it.]

Of course.

[iamtetsuo]

[Nah he'll just sit here and pull directions out of people's heads or...something, shut up.

The endless parade of death continues:

From more spike enemies on the endless chain hallway.
From the very start of the level from that cheap robot bird that comes out of nowhere and slams him into spikes on the edge of the screen.
From a rhinoceros elephant thing that shoots tusks.
Several more from the rhinolephant.
One to vanishing platforms after the rhinolephant.
Another rhinolephant death.
That's the new space where he's stuck now, isn't it...

But he's got this, he can do this... maybe...

.... it's kinda embarrassing to keep dying like this with someone watching.]

[learntofly]

[If it helps, it doesn't look like she's really judging at all. More like she's just entertained watching the gameplay roll by.]

. . . What is this anyway? Just some weird game from this world?

[iamtetsuo]

It's annoying, that's what...

[So if Metroid and Megaman got really drunk... He sighs at another game over screen, tilting his head back to her. He flicks back to title screen - "Metama" (or something who knows) displayed in pixelly glory]

Where else would it be from?

[learntofly]

[She shrugs, squinting at the title like she expects it to trigger some kine of memory.]

I don't know. I'm still getting used to this being an entirely different world. It's . . . weird. Knowing there's stuff here that might never exist back home.

[iamtetsuo]

You see this game? You couldn't find anything like it back in mine.

[He doesn't start another game yet.]

[learntofly]

. . . I guess it makes sense.

[For some reason that thought has her stomach twisting in a knot. Maybe adding reality to the situation? There was a difference in knowing she was in a new dimension and in seeing proof of it, even in tiny reminders like this.]

[iamtetsuo]

[You have no idea yet, Yayoi.]

So, you're new here...?

[learntofly]

[A nod as she sinks back in her chair again.]

Really new. We got here the day they evacuated everyone from Heropa.

[iamtetsuo]

[That's almost a relief. Nonah 05 became unrecognizable sometime after he ...left.. for good. There was no explanation, nothing - just tons of people and a lot of questions he's never asking.

Like where Charlie was.]

Then what're you doing here? Heropa's fine now, right?

[learntofly]

Oh, we're just waiting for Kazu-kun to recuperate enough to come back to Heropa.

[iamtetsuo]

Kazu?

[That gets his full, undivided attention.]

You know Kazu?

[learntofly]

[She perks up too, finally looking directly at him curiously.]

Well . . . yeah. We're from the same world. I was brought here along with two of our other friends.

[iamtetsuo]

That guy from earlier... that's why I know him!

[Is this going to make sense? Maybe.]

[learntofly]

[Yyyeah not entirely.]

Which guy??

[iamtetsuo]

Forget it. It's not important.

[Tetsuo you can't DO that to people.]

[learntofly]

At least tell me if it was a guy who gave you trouble or not. That'll narrow it down.

[There's like three people it could be. This won't be hard to figure out.]

[iamtetsuo]

...

[With a completely straight face:]

He gave me ramen.

[As if it was some grave and terrible injustice.]

[learntofly]

[Either Akito or Ikki then. And with that kind of tone . . .]

Ikki-kun? . . . I'm sorry I don't have any explanation for him.

[iamtetsuo]

That's the guy.

[And that name...even if he didn't get it out of Ikki, he'd know it from Kazu.]

[learntofly]

He must like you if he's already giving you food.

[iamtetsuo]

What's that supposed to mean?

[learntofly]

It means he's a greedy pig who only gives food away if he's really interested in someone.

[iamtetsuo]

Why would he have any interest in me?

[His hand grips at the jacket sleeve, looking away a moment. There is nothing more painful than finding out you're always going to matter so much less in the grand scheme of things than you thought.]
