[Yuuta's sitting on the edge of the fountain beside Takeshi. The two of them have their heads put together and it seems like they're studying something that Takeshi is holding. If anyone were to walk by, they might overhear the two of them talking amongst themselves.]
See, here, it was different for me. I went home after this point and stayed there for awhile before turning up here again.
[Takeshi frowns, puzzled.] Really? I wonder why that didn’t happen to me. I’d like to have gone home, too. I’m worried about Sumire-chan...
[He trails off for a moment, then points at the one of the notes he’d been taking on his Relic. It might be nonsense to some, but it would definitely make sense to people who’ve been in The World before.] Oh, you find this weird too, right? This is the last place I remember going, but I can’t seem to access Lumina Cloth anymore!
Yeah, I noticed that too! [Yuuta taps his chin as he thinks.] I wonder what made the World change like that so suddenly. The BBS disappeared too. I kinda miss that.
I miss it too. It was way easier to contact people with the BBS for parties and dungeon crawling and events... [Takeshi sighs and his shoulders slump down, looking like he’d been dumped by the girl he loved the most (which he’d really rather not happen, actually).]
I talked to one of the GMs, though. Kain. He said there was something like budget cuts and company... things that happened. Couldn’t get more than that from him, though.
[Yuuta frowns. He guesses that would make sense although the timing is still bugging him a little.] By the way, did your levels get cut too or was that just me because I went home?
Mine got cut too! I was almost 10 the last time, but then it got cut in half. [He notes this down. The list just keeps getting longer and... messier; Takeshi wasn’t very organized and his notes on the difference between the first version and this one was all over the place.] At least it’s pretty easy to get them back. I’m almost 20 this time.
[The state of the notes is actually getting on Yuuta’s nerves. He’s naturally neat and organized so it’s easy to see why but despite his giant want to fix them, he tries to ignore it.] I guess ‘cause we’re used to it by now. If you think about it, we’ve been here ages.
Ugh, don’t remind me! I already feel like a grandpa, and I’m just 20!

It's enough to make him forget what little manners he does possess and approach them instead.]
You two. Can I ask you something?
no subject
and he can't help but grin.]
Well, you already asked a question.
no subject
What Takeshi says makes him snort though and he elbows his friend in the side.]
Don't worry, you can ask us another one.
no subject
Still, there was something much more important at the moment to address.]
Just what were you two talking about? I've never heard of anything about levels being cut before.
no subject
Yuuta and I have been here longer, but things've been a little different lately!
no subject
no subject
[He then turns to Yuuta.] Did less of them arrive before?
no subject
Yeah. Most of the time they don't stay long either but I don't know why it's like that.
no subject

no subject
Well there are all types of people here so I don't see why there can't but I don't really know if they're the cause or not.
[He says while being possessed by an alien...]
no subject
Takeshi Gouda... What more do you know of this issue? I was not aware something like that had taken place.
[And him not knowing something is kind of getting him in an odd mood.]
no subject
Al Saiduq! [he still stumbles over the pronunciation oops.] Um... issue? Which one? [he looks down at his notes. there's quite a few of those "issues"]
no subject
no subject
About... two months ago? That's when I came back, anyway. Maybe something happened before that I don't know of though.
[He looks at Takeshi for confirmation.]
no subject
's really weird too, 'cause the calendars probably got reset. Last thing I remember, it was Christmas, and then it was suddenly the middle of spring!
no subject
Either would not be unreasonable to grasp.
no subject
But if those months did pass, why can't I remember? ...A virus, maybe?
no subject
[He's had experience with weird alien before so...]
Laaate
You went home?
no subject
Yeah, I did.
no subject
[Hiroto had said as much earlier, and she's pretty certain if this kid knew, he wouldn't exactly be here.]
no subject
No, sorry.
[And she'd be surprised, really. Even though he misses his friends, being here means he's still alive so he's thankful that he is.]
no subject
[Sigh.]
...What was it like, going back?
no subject
no subject
Someone else told me the same thing, but I could hardly believe it... So as long as we wait long enough, we'll be able to get back like nothing happened?
...
That really makes all of this seem even more pointless.
