[The video clicks on to a teenage boy hunched over at the Dreamberry in a position that can't possibly be good for his back.]

There is a carnival here in the Industrial section of Somni.

Would anyone be interested in checking it out?

[Filtered against wee!Ryoji, which isn't too hard - just to avoid questions from the kid.]Would anyone know

It wasn't that interesting. The carnival, I mean.

[carpo_vita]

Was it? Maybe you picked the wrong rides, or didn't go with enough people?

[knifenut]

No, it was just boring.

[carpo_vita]

Would you be willing to give it another try, though?

[gotnyxed]

*Pinged by "carnival"*

Really? A carnival? I want to go!

[carpo_vita]

[He's trying to fish in a good number of people and see how that goes, which may take a while, but... Maybe he can make a quick trip himself before that with wee!Ryoji.]

You can come, Ryoji-kun, but can you be careful and stay close to me?

[gotnyxed]

I will! Promise!

[carpo_vita]

I'll let you know as soon as the date is decided.

[not_a_spoiler]

I'd love to check it out sometime!

[carpo_vita]

[+1 to the count, \o/] That's good to hear, Stephanie-san. I still haven't decided when, though. Would you have any preference about the time, for the upcoming two weeks?

[not_a_spoiler]

Nope! I got no plans during the day.

Have you heard from Aki yet? Maybe I'll ask him to go with me. That could be fun.

[carpo_vita]

That's good. I'm hoping to get a crowd together, including strangers. I'd like to meet new people too, and it would be more interesting and fun with more.

I haven't yet, but we can both convince him to come. [:|b Senpai is good at physical training but that's the type of social training that he usually doesn't do. It will serve him well.]

[notjust_risette]

The carnival was pretty fun the first time I went to check it out.

[She pauses for a moment, unsure of whether she should continue.] And the thing about changing... well, I know someone who became a horse a few weeks ago.

[carpo_vita]

[Nod.] I'm trying to see if I can organize a trip. It's something to do, and I'd like to meet new people.

[The pensive look returns - or that's just his usual blank face. Might remind you of someone.] Do you know what may have happened to cause it?

[notjust_risette]

Well, there hasn't been much to do around here lately so you can count me in!

[Too bad she hasn't seen you in Akihiko's dreams yet or she would've recognized you. :|] I never really got to find out. We kinda just woke up and found him that way.

[carpo_vita]

[It's all good. Both senpai and Ryoji know you - a meeting was bound to happen eventually.]

I'm glad to hear that. [Nod.] Do you have a time preference for the two weeks to come?

[He lightly scratches the side of his head. ...So it just happens?] I see... It's like that here, too. A friend of mine had a strange dream, and became a child upon awakening. Do you know how long this would last, miss?

[carnivalcat]

Why don't you talk to the people who're living in the carnival about it?

It's a pretty good deal. I don't have to take care of the rides or anything, they work just fine on their own. Bring along friends if you want.

[carpo_vita]

[...?_?] I wasn't aware that there are people living there. I would have definitely asked, if I knew.

Would that be alright with you? My name is Minato Arisato, and I'm thinking of organizing a trip there with people in the upcoming week or so.

[carnivalcat]

Nah, don't sweat it. A carnival's for everyone, right?

Boris Airay. You're welcome to drop by. I don't hang around the place much until nightfall. Like I said, everything runs on its own.

{Got myself caught up in something else, anyway...}

[carpo_vita]

That's true.

It's nice to meet you, Airay-san. [...Honestly not sure how someone who looks about his age but maybe older with cat ears would want to be called, 'A'; Let's just be safe?] Would you like to be notified once a date is settled?
