Good afternoon!

[ she seems in better spirits today ]

I was looking to to talk a walk around, actually. Were you looking for something to wear?

[ the sun, she shines bright ]

[holyspirits]

It can't hurt, right? It's bright all around heaven, but especially here.

[ give them a second, they will hand over a pair of cute red-framed ones. for you.]

But a walk sounds good if you'd like the company.

[cupidsammo]

[ aww, thank. she puts them on! ]

I think it would be better with company. And you did say you wanted to talk more, too.

[holyspirits]

I did say that. [ they usually do not voluntarily talk to people more than they need to but this is their job now. also, affection week means they offer an arm out! linksies. ]</small? We can start from this end and walk down to the other? Stop along the way if there are any shops that look interesting.

[cupidsammo]

[ immortalizes your html break ]

I'd like that! [ arm linksies yayyy ] It's been a long time since I've been anywhere like this, so it's kind of exciting.

[holyspirits]

[ cruelty. but yaaay, let's go! ]

I've never been. There isn't anything like this too close to where I'm from, but it's kind of nice to see. Is this the sort of thing you prefer?

[cupidsammo]

Well... It's just nice to visit the beach sometimes, that's all. I live close to the shore, but it's been a while since I've last gone.

[holyspirits]

Having the option sounds nice. What was it like? The place you're from.

[ they seem genuinely interested to hear about it. ]

[cupidsammo]

I'm from— [ she stops short, considering something, then: ] Have you heard of Tokyo before?

[holyspirits]

Japan, right? The biggest city in the country.

[cupidsammo]

Yes, that's right! Hahah, I feel like almost everyone I've talked to about it so far doesn't know, so I had to ask.

[holyspirits]

There's a lot of you who didn't come from Earth, it sounds like. I've never been to Japan, but I at least know where it is on a map. [ this is important. ]

[cupidsammo]

I guess so... Is everyone from other planets or something?

[holyspirits]

Other planets, other universes, other realms... there are different names for it. It can be hard for some people to grasp if they aren't used to it.

[cupidsammo]

I'm really not. All I know is just—normal Earth...

[holyspirits]

The Earth I know about is pretty normal, but I've thought about possibilities like this for a while. I never thought it would be this expansive though... not anything I'd see, anyway.

[cupidsammo]

Maybe I should've daydreamed about the stuff I'd read in manga more... I wasn't mentally prepared for any of it.

[holyspirits]

[ this is going to sound stupid, but. ]

Manga?

[cupidsammo]

[ okay, well. they get credit for knowing where japan is. ]

Oh, yeah. They're just comics, really... I like to read them sometimes.

[holyspirits]

[ oh, this makes sense. ]

I imagine they're better than the comics we have if they would ever make you think of things like this. But I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before.

[cupidsammo]

Better? What kind of comics do you read?

[holyspirits]

Usually whatever I see at the checkout lines at the store. I don't read them a lot, but sometimes I'll see what's there. I never buy them though. [ the implication is more that it's a necessity not to buy things rather than a want. they don't even want comics but they don't always like not being able to have something frivolous just because. ]

[cupidsammo]

Ohhh, like in newspapers? Those are really different from comics with dedicated storylines.

[holyspirits]

Yeah, like those. [ sometimes it is all you have... ] We didn't have a lot where I'm from. The town itself was pretty empty when it came to stores and things like that.

[cupidsammo]

That's hard to imagine... Back home you can't throw a rock without hitting a few convenience stores along the way.
