001 | [Text] | I was Worried I'd Wound up in a Cultural Wasteland.

Sup, dudes and dudettes? Shinagawa Daichi here with a Super Important Question.

How many of you chumps don't come from a world that fell right out of a manga or somethin?

That means no:
Mutants
Vampires
Werewolves
Ghosts'n Goblins (lol)
Magic all up in your face
Evil plots to destroy the world
And whatever the fuck else I've forgotten to list

'cause I'm really startin to wonder - where all the normal people at? Y'know, ordinary high school students and shit! (」ﾟヘﾟ)」

And for the rest of you, how'd that work out for you? Do you, uh, miss it or whatever?

[ Filtered to Adachi Hana. ]

Yo, Adachi. How's life in the big city treatin you? (〜￣▽￣)〜

Are These The Only Requirements For Having A World That Tripped Over Itself And Left The Realm Of What You Call A
Manga
It Is Unfamiliar To Me But May Not Be To The Rest Of Alternia
Which Is My World By The Way
In Any Case My World Can Fill The Mutants Vampires Ghosts Goblins Magic All Up In Your Face And Evil Plans To Destroy The World Quota
Though The Goblins Were Actually Called Imps
I Have Never Heard Of The Creatures Called Werewolves Or Opening Parenthesis Lol Closed Parenthesis

I Hope This Was Helpful

[ It takes him a couple seconds to respond. He's unsure if Miss/Mister Greentext is makin' fun of him.

He decides to give them the benefit of the doubt. ]

It was helpful enough, I guess. I'm not really lookin for help though. More like a conversation?

There's a whole whack of other requirements. I just didn’t have enough space to list ‘em all. I'll know 'em when I see 'em.

lol means laugh out loud, btw. And how can you have vampires without werewolves? Shit's messed up.

Oh Im Sorry
I Did Not Realize That You Were Hoping To Learn These Things For Conversational Purposes
Though If You Are I Suppose You Could Start By Telling Me What Manga Is
As I Mentioned I Have Never Heard Of It
Sharing Experiences Like This Are Standard Discussion Practices Right

Good evening, Shinagawa-kun!
Big city life has been treating me just fine, how about yourself!

It's pretty fuckin good. Even the free apartment they gave us ain't that shitty.

What's not to like?

Well it is kind of lonesome staying in a place without granny!

My home world is an Earth with none of those. That being said it seems to be further in the future than many other Earths.

As for normal high school students... I'm of age, but I've never been to High School.

Oh. How far in the future are we talkin? Like 50 years or 100 years or more?

Don't they have high school in the year I-don't-know-when?

Hey. Some of us came from totally normal worlds before someone had to go and mess it up, OK? It's not like we asked for that kind of thing.

And man, don't even joke about that game. It stole like two years of my life.

Someone got the joke? Fuckin A. I was worried I'd wound up in a cultural wasteland.

Aaand whaddya mean someone went and screwed up your world? If that can happen that it wasn't normal to begin with!

What is a Manga?

A comic book! You've heard of comics, right?

Would it be better if it fell out more of an adventure game?

Not really, no. Adventure games are borin.

[ All those puzzles, man. All those monkey based puzzles! ]

Even a 'normal' person could have fallen out of a slice-of-life manga.

But if that happened then they wouldn't know they'd fallen out of a manga, would they?

I wasn't bein literal though. Just tryin to get my point across.

I'm a normal run of the mill ninja bodyguard for a princess from a private school focused mainly on teaching life lessons through fighting with swords, but we also get normal classes in-between fighting sessions.

I guess that means I come from one of those weird worlds, doesn't it?

No shit, Sherlock.

[ Although it does sound pretty exciting. Better than being from a slow-paced romantic comedy, at any rate. His curiosity gets the better of him. ]

How'd a normal ninja end up guarding a princess?

I once pretended to be an ordinary high school student, however I stood out quite a bit due to my attire. Thankfully, I had a willing host, and he allowed me a little cover while we were traversing the halls and visiting the rooms.

[wait elizabeth no]

Jesus Christ. You sound like a porn star.

[ Stay classy, Shinagawa. ]

It might be shorter to list the criteria for what an 'ordinary' life is. Then I'd know what to tell you that you'd find interesting.
