[so it would probably be smart to be spending his time here leveling up and getting stronger and all that, but kaworu has actually done very little real gaming. most of his time so far has been spent exploring mac anu thoroughly, people-watching and marveling over the little things.

in this case, the "little thing" happens to be the fountain in the center of the city. he's sitting on the edge of it, legs hanging in over the side without care of how wet it was making his pantlegs. he keeps dipping his hands into the water, drawing some out between cupped palms and staring intensely at the liquid as it ran over the sides and back into the fountain. he's been sitting here for quite some time now, so feel free to bother if you're beginning to grow concerned for his mental health -- or if you just want to try shoving him in or whatever, that's cool too.]

Comments

[ Oh hey, you're a familiar face. He's been wandering about, trying to figure out what to do, but... this seems like a good distraction. Don't mind him as he heads over to the fountain. ]

Hey.

[diedforyoursins]

[he recognizes that voice immediately, even if they'd only met once before, and he glances over his shoulder with a smile.]

Hello again. You are more awake this time, I see.

[hedgephones]

[ Neku makes a slightly disgruntled noise at that comment, but he shrugs, coming to sit against the fountain as well - though he isn't putting his feet or legs anywhere near that water. Which begs the question... ]

Isn't that uncomfortable or something?

[diedforyoursins]

It is just water. Why should it be uncomfortable?

[there are much worse things than being wet, bro. like decapitation due to crushing pressure.]

[hedgephones]

...Yeah, but it's getting --

Nevermind. [ don't worry bro, he's dropping it because you don't seem like the type to be bothered at all by these things. so he's just going to...awkwardly sit there in silence, fidgeting with his hands. ]

[diedforyoursins]

[there isn't much that bothers him, yeah. but you...]

You are uneasy. Why?

[hedgephones]

I'm not adjusted yet. To this place, I mean.

[ A murmur. And yeah that fountain thing is a bit unsettling but it's not really the root of all this unease. ]

[diedforyoursins]

[he eyes neku for a long several moments, like he's trying to read something in particular from the other boy's expression and body language and tone. then his head cants to the side slightly, curious.]

Was your home very different? Is there absolutely nothing here to remind you of it, no one you knew or whose company you've come to enjoy to help ease the transition?
