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? (〜￣▽￣)〜

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.

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

text

[delinquentkun]

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

What's not to like?

text

[glasseschan]

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

text

[delinquentkun]

Don't tempt fate. I don't want her showin up and crampin my style.

[ice_cream_ai]

My world's pretty normal I think, it got none of those things.

[Uh, Kaito? Did you forget something]

[delinquentkun]

[ There is no information missing here at all. ]

Sweet. What d'you do for a living back home since you're not busy killin monsters and junk, buddy?

Re: text

[ice_cream_ai]

I'm a Singer, I admit that's not a normal profession, but it's not a weird one.

text

[delinquentkun]

Singer like warbling in the streets for loose change, or singer like people actual give a shit about you?

Re: text

[ice_cream_ai]

It's a professional career, recording studio and all.

I think my world's pretty normal? [ gang wars and headless cyclists aside-- ] I'm a high school student too!

text

[delinquentkun]

So you're like a celebrity or an idol or something? Sweet! (ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ~

text

[delinquentkun]

[ Gang wars are so normal...if by gang wars you mean 3 o'clock on the playground after school, nerd! ]

Ah finally someone who speaks my language! How old're you, kid?

text

[endears]

[ Yes... that is exactly what is being referred to here!! ]

Fifteen; I'd only just started my first year when I got here.

How about you, mister?

text

[delinquentkun]

I'm 18, and I'm in the dyin days of my last year. Sweet freedom is nearly mine.

Don't call me mister. Shinagawa's fine.

[electricyousei]

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.

[delinquentkun]

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?

[electricyousei]

2203 AD.

They have High School as well, most people go. I grew up in a private school and never went to a normal one.

[endears]

Sure thing, Shinagawa-senpai! [ Is that really any better... ]

If you don't mind me asking, do you have anything planned for when you leave?

[delinquentkun]

Jesus. That's pretty fuckin far ahead. I'll be long dead by then...

...god that's depressin. (;*△*;)

So what's the deal with your private school?

text

[delinquentkun]

[ Mildly. At least he's used to that. ]

I don't mind you askin. I'm gonna go to university with my buddies.

[electricyousei]

Accelerated study program. Kindergarten through Masters in computer science before the age of 10.

[delinquentkun]

Holy shit! Are you fuckin with me?

[ And he thought he was a smart kid in middle school. ]

[electricyousei]

I was working on my doctoral thesis at home when I wasn't working.
