96 - what year is this anyway...?

[sore_feet_man]

The year is coming to an end once again on the island. I realized that I've never done anything special for New Years' celebration, but now I'm curious; what kinds of things do people do, in the worlds we all come from? It's usually a fairly big deal in Japan, where I'm from, though I was always on the road and usually didn't make plans for it

So you're one of the long-timers here.

[sore_feet_man]

I am. Over two years spent on the island so far.

Perhaps I should be preparing for the inevitable..

[promotion_plz]

Two years?!

…The way you're talking, it sounds like you'd rather stay.

[sore_feet_man]

...You get attached after that long.

I didn't have a stationary home before I came here, so this is the first place that I've been able to call "home", really.

You're welcome, Mr. Ginko! You can choose a different superhero name if you want.

Takeru gets the Super Lite mushi explanation, lol

[sore_feet_man]

There's that "superhero" term again... =_W

I don't need a title, I already have one. I'm a "mushishi"; someone who studies and treats the effects of mushi on humans and their environment. Mushi are like supernatural creatures that only some people can see.

Takeru ignores everything but mushishi

[onwingsofhope]

Mushiman! Mushishiman. Supermushyman. Hm.

I don't think I understand very well . . . Are they like ghosts?

<3333 ahahaha this kid THIS KID i love you, TK ;v;

Not too far off...although they aren't the spirits of the dead. They're nothing like humans. You could say they're...strange neighbors to the rest of the life on this planet, living in the shadowed line between life and death.

It's hard to describe without showing you, but they're so varied in type and size that explanation can only get you so far..
