[Don has been in Luceti for seven months now, but there are still some places he has not yet visited. Tonight, he's crossing one of those places off his list

[...That's a giant turtle. In a mask. In a bar.

Itachi takes a moment to check his sharingan, then the saucer of sake he's barely touched over the last half hour. His sight is pretty terrible, but he's fairly certain he really is seeing what he thinks he's seeing.

After that brief moment of surprise, he returns to his own thoughts, simply adding this to the list of strange happenings in this place.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Nod.] Hello.

[yourhatred]

[And now he has the creature's attention. He nods back.]

Good evening.

[i_speak_softly]

[He seems surprised by this greeting.] It's midday where I am.

[yourhatred]

[Itachi raises an eyebrow.] Oh? And where would you be?

[i_speak_softly]

Over here, of course. A parallel but slightly deviated dimensional plane.

[yourhatred]

I see. [Itachi takes a small sip from his saucer... Ah. It's gotten cold.]

I'm sure it gets confusing for you, then, having to pay attention to multiple planes of existence.

[i_speak_softly]

Yes, it does. I have to keep track of two sets of everything. And the time difference is annoying.

[yourhatred]

But you appear to be managing it well enough.

[i_speak_softly]

I do my best.

[yourhatred]

Has it always been like this for you?

[i_speak_softly]

No, only since I got here. You see, I'm only halfway in Luceti. I'm also still in my own world.

[yourhatred]

Oh? And how did that happen?

[Knowing everything that goes on in this place, it's possible the turtle is telling the truth, but Itachi is still highly skeptical.]

[i_speak_softly]

Incompetent Shifting is my guess. This place is run by a bunch of amateurs.

[yourhatred]

Mm. And are you working on any sort of solution?

[i_speak_softly]

Why should I fix their mess? They won't learn if I solve their problems for them.
