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?

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

Mother of mercy. Here I thought studyin for my university entrance exams was a pain in the ass.

What are you going to major in?

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.

I see! I'm still not sure on what I'm going to do. So... I'm guessing you've met people from some pretty crazy worlds here?

What is a Manga?

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

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

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?

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

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]

Uh...I guess so? Man you use a lotta fancy words to say shit, y'know that?

Manga is the Japanese word for comic books. They're pretty great, you've been missin out.

Don't worry about it. You can always make a last minute choice like ol' Shinagawa-senpai did.

[ That's...that's not something to be proud of. ]

As for people from crazy worlds...that depends on your definition of meeting someone. I've seen 'em around, at the very least.

...lemme get back to you on that one. The whole university thing is a work in progress.

Bein here is a chance for a break though, amirite?

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!

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

Not really, no. Adventure games are borin.

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

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.

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?

Jesus Christ. You sound like a porn star.

[ Stay classy, Shinagawa. ]

Yes I Know
I just Want To Be Absolutely Sure That My Point Is Coming Across
Oh I Have Heard Of Comic Books
It Was To My Understanding That They Were Mostly Produced For Children Though
Is That Right

Not goin by some of the ones I've read. *eyebrow wiggle*

I mean - they make them for all ages. But you do get some made for kids, yeah.

Eyebrow Wiggle
Why Did You Just
Oh

[She squints at the screen.]

Oh Was That An Attempt At Inviting Me To Roleplay With You
Im Sorry But I Really Have No Talent For That Sort Of Thing
There Is Actually Another Friend OF Mine Who Would Be Much More Receptive To Your Advances But I Do Not Think She Has Arrived Yet
Nor Do I Know If She Will Arrive At All

The fuck are you actually talking about? I'm not makin any advances on you! I was makin a joke about porn. Jesus.

And roleplay is for sad cases who're afraid of direct sunlight, not for cool awesome guys like me.

[A joke about... oh.]

[Wow.]

[Thank god this is text, because someone's blushing a pretty unattractive color right now.]

For Your Information
Where I Come From Everyone Who Is Interested In Sustaining Their Life Is Afraid Of Direct Sunlight
The Alternian Sun Is Very Very Dangerous You Know

[Even Kanaya knows that, and she's immune to it.]

So that's why you know about vampires! You're all freakin vampires, right?
