[i was so sure we'd made one i went looking for it on my journal like WHERE IS IT and then went looking for it on yours and was surprised when it was blank

anyway! she smiles at him.]

I don't mind at all.

[nightchild]

[me establishing dominance first,

Itsuki will fall into step with her,]

You know, this reminds me of how we first met.

[he says, like it was many months ago]

[countermeasures]

[she giggles]

Yes, but now we have much nicer scenery to look at while we walk!

[nightchild]

[he hms]

The scenery's always been nice to look at though? [he winks at her, help]

[countermeasures]

[oh boy.]

You must get along well with the four residents here then. They've also said it's generally been quite nice.

[nightchild]

[nice swerve jiuqing...]

They're pretty easy-going to talk to for people who didn't expect us to crash their place. We've been pretty lucky, huh?

[countermeasures]

Yes... They could have been much more hostile to us than they have been. That is lucky.

[nightchild]

[he hms]

Right? I think of myself as an easy-going guy, but even I would be pretty shy around a bunch of strangers if they showed up in my house.

[countermeasures]

If it were me, I'm not sure I'd want anything to do with them...

[granted, a batch of strangers showing up at her house in her own world tends to spell trouble, so.]

[nightchild]

[save su jiuqing's clinic...]

Would you wait for them to leave?

[countermeasures]

...mm, I don't think I would just wait. Especially if it wasn't as simple as them just deciding to go back where they came from.

What would you do?

[nightchild]

Hm. I'd probably take my time just watching them at first?

Then I'd give them the things they want most.

[countermeasures]

...your approach doesn't sound too different from the people we met here.

[nightchild]

[he grins]

Right? The only difference is I'd tell them the price upfront. I've got the home advantage, so I might as well make things fair.

[countermeasures]

Do you believe they've been making things unfair, then...?

[nightchild]

...Not on purpose. I think there really are things they don't know. Also, I don't think their personalities are twisted enough.

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

That's about the same read I've got on them so far. They seem to mean well enough, and they don't really seem to mean us harm...

[it's difficult to trust them wholeheartedly even though she gets along with them, though.]

[nightchild]

[they're good ppl.... a part of itsuki likes all of them, it's just hard to corral his thoughts in when he's feeling like he's drifting about,

speaking of thoughts...]

Yeah, they've answered questions, given us stuff... and apparently planned a party with a really specific theme...

[countermeasures]

That does seem... odd, to say the least...

[her brow furrows slightly.]

Two of the people I'm sharing a living space with seemed... very excited about it, so I assumed that sort of thing was just something we don't have in Daxing that is common in other places. But is that not the case?

[nightchild]

[so Malik and Roxana love parties that much...]

Nope, I don't think we have anything like that back home either... We have parties, but no one goes there to think. Unless it's a poetry reading or something.

[countermeasures]

...hm.

Well, I suppose we can take part, but... we ought to keep our guard up.

[nightchild]

[im so scared of today]

Should we come up with a secret code? Whoever finds something sketchy can signal the other person.

[there are phones]

[countermeasures]

[me too]

That could work... ah, but couldn't we also just send each other a message on these?

[she reaches into her sleeve and pulls out her phone]

Although I suppose it would be obvious to anyone watching that we were saying something, though they wouldn't know what it was...

[nightchild]

What about a hand signal?

[he puts his index finger and thumb together to make a heart heh]

I don't think anyone will notice that.

[countermeasures]

Hmm... like this?

[she puts her index finger and thumb together the same way, considering it]

You're right, I think that should be subtle enough.
