I got a question.

[he still feels weird talking at this thing on his wrist, but at least he sounds less...
irritable than he did the last time he tried this.]

I mean, I'm sure people've probably heard and answered this one before, but... does anyone really like it here? An' I don't mean just putting up with the place, I mean... people who'd rather be here than wherever they came from. Rather not go back, that kind of thing.

[after a second, he scoffs at himself.]

Though I guess if 'back home' is worse than this place, that'll be a whole lotta depressing conversation.

[occulthymns]

Not really. This place has some good points, but home is still better.

What about you?

[Audio]

[hatesblindjokes]

[oh hey, it's magical plant girl.]

Eh, still thinkin' about it. Even if not paying rent is pretty slick.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[Better than her name.]

Huh, your world must be pretty shitty if it's a tie so far.

[Audio]

[hatesblindjokes]

Nah, just the city. And that ain't bad if you got money.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

So good if you're rich, bad if you're poor?

[Audio]

[hatesblindjokes]

Yeah. Kinda figured it was like that everywhere.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

I guess most places probably are, if you think about it....

[Audio]

[hatesblindjokes]

Yeah. Looks like here is kind of a weird exception, though.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

It's because of the gods. They give us enough of the basics so any money we make can go towards stuff that aren't necessities.

audio;

[biifurcatiion]

Yep. The crazy people. And the people who buy into the bullthhit.

audio;

[hatesblindjokes]

Probably true. There a lot of that particular kind of crazy running around here, though?

audio;

[biifurcatiion]

Ehhh, dependth on your relative cultural or biological thtandardth for accepted inthanity. By my thtandardth? Yeah. Way too many.

audio.

[fiduspear]

I would rather be here, than home. I like it here.

audio.

[hatesblindjokes]

Oh. [well, that's different than what he's gotten so far...]

Mind if I ask what you like about it?

audio.

[fiduspear]

For one, a lot of my friends are here. And, some of them are people, that I would not get to meet in person otherwise. Also, the society here is actually, pretty cool? I mean, people are nice, and don't end up murdered that often. Even if they do, they come back. So, that's also good.

audio.

[hatesblindjokes]

[.........welp.]

I was gonna agree with you on the friends bit, but the "murdering" part got kind of distracting.

Think I missed a memo somewhere. People come back?

audio.

[fiduspear]

Uh... Yeah. I've died, and come back already, so that is a thing that can happen.

[holmes_fanatic]

Get ready for a lot of depressing conversations.

[voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

Welp. Got no one to blame but myself, right?

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

You could blame the gods. That's a fairly popular option! Just not very productive.

[voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

Sounds like that's somethin' that don't change on any world.

I'll stick to shit that stays constant.

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

That'd be blaming the gods?

[voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

That'd be blaming me, because at least I don't two-time myself.

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

That seems even less productive ... but I guess I don't know what world you're from, Oniisan.

[voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

...What'd you just call me? [because that sure didn't sound like his name. 8|]

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's the polite way to call someone whose name you don't know where I'm from. I guess the closest translation would be 'older brother'.

[voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

But... [he's not... your older brother ;; though he guesses, after a moment of thought, that it's kind of the same thing.] Well, all right. I guess.

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

What's your name?

[voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

...Vincent.

[voice]

[holmes_fanatic]

It's nice to meet you, Vincent-niisan! I'm Edogawa Conan. Call me Conan!

[5thchild]

I would rather be here.

[Voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

Yeah? [he recognizes this voice from listening in over the journal. he's pretty sure this guy's still pretty new.] Mind if I ask why?

[Voice]

[5thchild]

I died.

[Voice]

[hatesblindjokes]

[... ... ...]

That would do it.

[Voice]

[5thchild]

Yes. Besides, I have the chance to meet other people here. it's quite enjoyable.

voice;

[unimpressive]

I'd rather be back home, but it's not such a bad place here!

voice;

[hatesblindjokes]

Yeah? Haven't spent much time here, but I'm kinda thinkin' the same.

voice;

[unimpressive]

So you agree! This place has got a lot of really amazing things about it. I'm kind of glad we all got to visit it.

voice;

[hatesblindjokes]

Not gonna lie. Not paying rent is pretty slick.

voice;

[unimpressive]

[A laugh.] It's been really nice of the gods to take care of everything like that. Even with some of the things they do...

voice;

[hatesblindjokes]

Guess I gotta figure out if it's worth the trouble they seem to like throwing at people.

voice;

[unimpressive]

But we're supposed to be helping them this way so we can save our worlds too, right? I think that's worth it!

voice;

[hatesblindjokes]

Mm. I hope that's what it really is.

voice;

[unimpressive]

Huh?! You don't think it's something else too, do you? It all sounds pretty serious to me.
