[itsalright]

[There is a frowning boy staring at his communicator, his brow furrowed and he looked worried.]

I'm not sure if this is working, or how a mirror works much like a phone. However, that's not why I decided to try to talk to you all. I'm sure you don't recognize me. I'm a new arrival, after all. I've heard a great deal about this place from Vantas-san, so you don't need to worry about supplying me with any information. I'm more curious about the moon, and why it has a face. Is that normal?

[He thinks for a moment]

Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?

[He smiles.]

My name is Tsurugi Yuuichi, it's nice to meet you.

[ Tenma wasn't expecting him to ever be here, being hospital bound and all. He's surprised enough that he doesn't form a coherent thought before responding from his own communicator. ]

T-Tsurugi's brother!

Perma-video until they end up meeting up because you know they probably will

[itsalright]

[There was no way Yuuichi could hide the shock and surprise from his expression or voice.]

Tenma-kun?

[He wasn't expecting anyone familiar to be here tbh]

sacca party in your little brother's room y/y

[idkmybffsacca]

[ Oh. Right. Yuuichi asked a question. ]

Uhm, it's kind of weird, but here it's normal that the moon has a face! The sun does too, even!

always yes

[itsalright]

What are you doing here?

[Not to be rude or anything but gosh it's a surprise]

[Video]

[superseed]

[ Hey now. You don't have to introduce yourself to this kid, Yuuichi. In fact he's so glad to see you that he can't stop himself from smiling. And you know how much practise he's had at not smiling.

Also - really? The first thing you ask about is the moon? Sheesh.

Kyousuke has to play this cool. He doesn't want his wonderful brother to think he has been worried about him since he arrived in Death City a while back, y'know? And there's no need to get all emotional over the network. They can always switch to private when that happens. ]

The sun has a face too - it takes some getting used to.

[Video]

[itsalright]

[He had heard of his brother being here by now, but it was still a huge relief to see him. He was worried about his brother, of course, how could he not be? But Kyousuke had been here longer then Yuuichi, and he could take care of himself. Yuuichi didn't have much to worry about, to be honest. Though, he still worried. A lot.]

I'm not sure I could ever get used to it.

[Video]

[superseed]

Getting used to it was a bad choice of words. Sorry, niisan. It'll become less noticeable eventually.

[ Maybe it's easier to adjust to suns and moons with faces when you're surrounded by Avatars and other magical soccer tricks every single day of your life? The weirdness factor never quite goes away, though. ]

Are you a Weapon or a Meister?

[ Because there's no point beating around the bush, especially not when Yuuichi is obviously not surprised to see his brother. ]

[bellcaptain]

Aye! The sun has one too. I think it's quite brilliant, actually. It sort of gives them character.

[itsalright]

[He thinks about this for a moment before chuckling a little]

I suppose it does, doesn't it?

[bellcaptain]

It's just a quirk of this world. Among many others. [Smiles and shrugs.]

Oh, that's right! I'm Dylan Sharp.

[spandexisyouth]

It is... normal for this moon. I do not think I would call it normal though.

Video

[itsalright]

[He nods.]

It's very strange, but I suppose it's better smiling then frowning.

Video

[spandexisyouth]

I would very much like it if the moon did not ever frown. It is bad enough when it drools!

[ video ]

[blue_wayfinder]

[Tsurugi?]

It's normal for this world, it seems.

Are you related to Tsurugi Kyousuke, by any chance? [She's pretty sure the answer is 'yes' but it never hurts to make sure, right?]

[ video ]

[itsalright]

[He smiles fondly]

He's my younger brother, have you met him before?

[ video ]

[blue_wayfinder]

I met him when I was helping out with the tour. Some of his friends are here too.

[Video]

[hoennmaihime]

I think the mirror's cool! But the moon's definitely weird. And kind of creepy. But it's nice to meet you, Yuuichi! I'm Haruka.

[Video]

[itsalright]

It's nice to meet you too, Haruka-chan. I do think the mirror's pretty amazing, I never thought a mirror could be used for something like this.

[Video]

[hoennmaihime]

[Oh goody, another honorifics-user! She can speak more naturally, then.]

Me neither! All of the machines we have back home are kind of... machiney? More solid and clunky and tough, not really reflective, and not at all like this. What's it like for you?

video;

[surpassgod]

Tsurugi...?

[ Wait. Isn't that Tenma's friend? But he didn't disappear back home, did he? Black☆Star is confused. ]

When'd you disappear? Y'look a little older now. How long were ya gone?

video;

[itsalright]

I haven't been here before.

[He tilts his head to the side]

I think you've mistaken me for my younger brother.

video;

[surpassgod]

Brother? Ohhhh hahaha yeah, that's probably it! You two look a lot alike, ya know!

[video - I hope I'm not too late!]

[tuned_wrong]

I can assure you that that's only normal for this place.

[Sup, have a demon in your mirror, kid.]

[video - Never too late!]

[itsalright]

I wonder why that is...

[Oh hello mister demon]

[video - \o/ ]

[tuned_wrong]

That's a mystery that has yet to be lifted. Most people who were brought here have been wondering and asking questions about it at one point or another, but it seems to be normal for the people here so we haven't been able to get much that can be used as a good answer. People just don't question what they are used to too much.

My name is Aion the Sinner, by the way. Pleased to meet you and don't let yourself be irritated by the last part of it, it's something like a title back from where I come.
