Thank you for accompanying me to the ball, Tanyuu; I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Kyouya, I promise we'll go on that hike together soon

Oh, you went with Tanyuu?

[sore_feet_man]

Ah, yes.

Acquaintance?

[airgeargaigar]

Sorta~ We met once when she was asking about stories.

[sore_feet_man]

Stories, hm. Tanyuu knows so many...or did, before she came here. I see she's continuing the same duty she performed back where we came from.

She might as well, since it's an excellent way to make friends.

Being on-topic is clearly for losers. 8|

Hey, Ginko, have you seen those posters for a cooking contest around?

this is rp, that's totally fine, come on!

[sore_feet_man]

Ah... I've seen them. You're interested in that kind of thing, Booster?

[future_is_gold]

It looks like it could be fun, and I certainly can't object to the rewards. But, you know, I don't really have a lot of experience with cooking, but you do, right? So I was wondering if you'd be willing to pitch in a little.

[sore_feet_man]

Hnnn... I guess I could help. *is also glad that Booster has seemingly gotten over whatever was bugging him before*

What are you making?

[ace_of_11s]

Hey.

I have a list of the new people who have showed up at the apartments.

[sore_feet_man]

I'm behind, aren't I. Appreciate it, Karen.

*takes the list*

[ace_of_11s]

No, it's more my fault. That list is still a little old.

[sore_feet_man]

I'll get on it right away before we accidentally miss anyone.

Hmm... Come to think of it, I've seen people come and go in as short as a three-week period. I wonder how often people might come to the island and disappear before many people noticed them?

*silently studies Hibari - is he sizing him up? maybe, but his eye stays fixed just on the kid's face*

...Okay. But it's not wild animals that I'm worried about; if anything, I'll be able to see every animal on the mountain while I'm in the middle of it.

What I want you to watch is me.

Re: [Filter]

[sore_feet_man]

I think everything should go as planned, but there is a slight chance that the experience could overwhelm me. While the mugura mushi are merged with my conscious, I will be unresponsive to you and to my own body as my mind travels over the veins of the mountain.

We'll just have to go and see what happens. If worst comes to worst, you would be able to carry me all the way back to town if need be, yes? *even though Hibari is definitely smaller in stature than Ginko, he knows how strong he is*

[hunterxofxrare]

Hmmm~ Does this have to do with your "mugura riding"?

I'm a little worried about it, but I'd be happy to watch out for you!

[sore_feet_man]

It looks like Kyouya's raring to go (as usual), so don't worry about it. He'll keep watch while I try out the mugura riding. I'm not particularly concerned, but I reasoned that at least having a spotter would be wise.

[hunterxofxrare]

I don't think I've met him before... But if you trust him, I'm sure he'll do a good job!
