Right? Right!! That isn't normal, surely!

[Ahem!!]

I don't know what it means, but it isn't normal!

[ordimame]

[hang on his logical normie brain is trying to come up with a perfectly good explanation for all of this]

Maybe it just means it hasn't been nearly as long as we think??

[aspirings]

[... Tsukasa has a very regular eating schedule though...]

... There is no way we've done everything that we've done in just a few hours, though.

[ordimame]

[yeah. . . the trek through the forest had to take at least a day? and how knows how long they spent poking around that candy house before they found the trap door leading to the cellar]

[Edamura gives a helpless shrug]

I don't know, man. It's weird. I don't know how to explain it.

[aspirings]

... Perhaps time passes weirdly here?

[WHY IS TSUKASA OKAY WITH THIS AND THIS ONLY]

yosuke

[aspirings]

(from here)

[He does kind of get it, he thinks... it feels very familiar.

Tsukasa just laughs a little in response, takes a moment longer to look at the view, and then moves again for the stage wing to turn off the lights.]

It sounds like a very warm and exciting friendship!

I'm glad to know that you have such reliable friends, truly. Even if things do occasionally get loud... hm, well, I am very familiar with that.

[aerodynamic]

[ this image is killing me.

tsukasa begins to move to turn off the lights, but yosuke is still standing in the middle of the stage to overlook the audience, arms folded over his chest and eyes scanning the room. ]

Never a dull moment, yeah. Even if some of us are apart now, they're the ones I can count on for anything. [ so like. purgatory without them sucks. he tilts his head back to watch tsukasa again instead. ]

Tell me a little about yours? Are they all people with SEKAIs, too?

[aspirings]

[it is the most accurate.

"They're the ones I can count on for anything," Yosuke says. It really, really resonates; Tsukasa smiles to himself, expression softening.]

I would be happy to, of course!

[He joins Yosuke at center stage again, but then takes a few steps forward and sits, legs dangling off the edge of the stage.]

Rather than each having their own SEKAI, we all share mine! They are the other members of my theater troupe.

There are only four of us compared to your eight--er, unless you count the robot, of course--but even so, I feel as though we could likely give your group a run for their money when it comes to energy and loudness.

[aerodynamic]

[ well if he's sitting, he'll amble over and plop down to join him. ]

I mean we count Teddie, so I guess a robot would probably count. [ also aegis and labrys are out there somewhere. ] So how does it all work then? Do you share your SEKAI because they all have the same dream as you do? I wouldn't be surprised if you guys were just as loud though, I've met members of the drama club at our school.

[ loud. ]

Have you known them for long? [ he kind of wants to clarify that they're real people and this isn't a miku situation, but he figures tsukasa will get around to explaining that. ]

[aspirings]

[Loud drama kids... Yosuke is correct.

Tsukasa leans back on his hands, expression fond and warm and bright.]

For nearly two years now! We've been working towards our shared dream for that long, since we came together as a theater troupe.

I suppose they share it with me because we do share those feelings of making the world smile with excellent performances.

I would describe it as excellent! Majestic! Inspiring!

[He can go on. I'm sorry. He's so embarrassing...]

Ah, but!! Time does pass while we are in here, so I'm hopeful the giants will have lost interest in us and moved on by the time we go back.

[artificialsweetener]

Oh! I see!

[NODS AS IF HE SEES THE MAJESTY AND INSPIRATION IN A THEMEPARK. It is pretty neat... But more importantly:]

So it's pretty convenient, but also has some strong drawbacks... Is this, um... some sort of ability? It's not technology, is it?

[aspirings]

[...

That's

Such a good question.]

Er.

[He doesn't know if it's magic or technology or something in between.]

I think it... may be both...?

[artificialsweetener]

[GAZING AT HIM...]

...You only think?

[aspirings]

[why does he feel so judged...]

... Well, I don't exactly know how it works! And nobody has explained it any better than the fact that it's a pocket dimension made out of my feelings!

[aspirings]

(from here)

[not an answer but okay]

I suppose...

Regardless, you really can rely on these rooms, if nothing else. I hope you are able to get some proper rest now.

[tindery]

[ you set up this thread so kindly but we're hitting the new week and it'll probably be time to wrap soon ]

Ah. As much rest as someone can get around here, probably.

[aspirings]

[It is worth it for each and every Tobari tag.]

I haven't found it particularly difficult, personally...

[Still sleeps a full, precise 8 hours, like a freak.]

Do you normally have trouble sleeping?

[tindery]

I have things that keep me busy.

[ he usually sleeps 4 hours a night ]

[aspirings]

(from here)

[She's so real for this. Tsukasa on the other hand, lifts a hand to his chin thoughtfully.

If he puts aside the emotional trauma and sort-of-brainwashing, then--]

Actually, it wasn't that bad for me. I mean... well, we were separated! So I feel as though Mafuyu and Edamura-san ended up working much harder than I did to get there.

[He really did get to just, like.

Cheat. Thanks Miss.Christine.]

Of course, actually... rescuing him was its own task, but once he was no longer under any sort of mind control, we weren't in any real danger.

[He was so cool.........]

[aspirings]

(from here)

[This is fine. He accepts the back rubbing. Sniffle.]

Ahh... it is so tragic the way that they never were able to meet up again, even after realizing their feelings...!!

[aspirings]

(from here)

[Just.

Squinting at the screen thoughtfully.]

... Of course, I could play a perfectly loving husband on screen if that is the role that was called for. Absolutely! Certainly! Not a challenge at all!

[ordimame]

[side-eyeing Tsukasa now. . .]

I think "husband" is secondary to "action spy??" Why is that the one you're focused on?

[aspirings]

Huh? Well, I know I could handle playing an action lead just fine. I've done so before.

Ah, I was the deuteragonist that time, I suppose. But still!

[ordimame]

So it'd be a new role in your repertoire. . .

[anyway. like most spouses to the main hero in action flicks, Yosuke is eventually killed in an exploding car are the beginning of the film, thus beginning the main character's quest for VENGEANCE]

[Edamura just. makes a face]
