[Accidental Video] 17

[The video feed clicks on at an odd angle. Clearly this is an accidental broadcast. From the ground, a pair of legs stalk by and a young teenager by the looks of the build comes into view further away into the image. He has short spikey black hair and is clutching a clearly-too-large yukata around him, glaring about with angry red eyes.]

W-Where am I? HELLO?

OI! I need to get back home, my mother is waiting for me!

[Growls then starts as a scarecrow walks by him.] Wh-WHAT is going on here?!

[Grips the sword in his hands a little tighter and scoots back out of the video's feed.

(( OOC: Guess who found his first card? Kurogane's about 12 or 13 now. That's right, chibi!Kuro tiemz! ))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Exactly! I'll be right there~

[The line on the dreamberry is cut unexpectedly, but it isn't long before the teen! Kurogane hears a familar voice nearby.]

...this way then.

[That's right, the catboy is right in front of Kurogane. Pointing in a particular direction.]

[Shakes the phone when it goes black and frowns. Did he break it? He's still trying to figure it out when he feels a presence and hears the voice. He whipped around, hands gripping his sword tightly, since he did his best to tie up the loose clothes around him as well as possible.]

?! How did you get here so fa-- [Stops and stares at the ears sticking out of Schro's head.]

A-Are you a bakeneko?

Bakeneko?

[This was the first time he was called something like that.]

What's that?

It's a cat spirit. People don't usually have those - [Points at his ears] - so you must be.

[Staring with wide eyes now, wary, but at least you aren't a demon. But he thought only miko and magic-users could see spirits like that.]

A cat spirit? Then I can't be. I am man-made after all.

B-But you have cat ears! [Peers around a little.] And a tail!

And you have two arms, two legs. I don't see what's the big deal. I'm not human, but I'm definitely not a cat spirit either.

But you just said you're not human! And you don't look like a demon! What's that leave?

An abomination, I guess. A freak of nature even. Something along those lines. There isn't a better way to put it~.

[Mouth snaps shut, he didn't mean to imply that or anything.]

... I... I guess it doesn't matter anyway as long as you aren't a demon. [Fidgets a little, feeling maybe a little guilty.]

Can you show me the way? And why did you call it my onsen before?

[Even Schro considers himself as an abomination. He doesn't feel offended at all.]

Sure.[starts to walk]

And I call it your onsen, because it belongs to you. Well, you and the magician. It might be hard to believe, but your older self lives there.

Older... self? [Trails along beside Schrodinger.]

What are you even talking about? I don't know any magicians either.

A-Are you sure you aren't talking about my father? People say we look very much alike...

[Schrodinger turns to Kurogane.]

You do know a magician,just not at your age.

And your father? Isn't it obvious that you're far away from home?

At my age? [Staring at Schro again uncertainly.]

Of course I'm far from home, though I'm not sure why I can understand everyone either if this isn't Nihon. Is it... because this is a dream? That's what someone told me.

Yes, at your age or time. You have yet to experience certain things or meet certain people.

And maybe you can understand people because of the dream or because that device you have. The dreamberry. [Schrodinger motioned to the device Kurogane has.]

That's what this thing is called? What a weird name. [He frowns at it and pokes at the buttons and the screen lights up again finally, startling him.] What is it?

[Schrodinger wanted to say phone, but he doubted that Kurogane would know what that was.]

It's a tool that people use to communicate. The dreamberry is useful in other ways like showing maps of Somarium, showing the time, having a record of everyone person here and even storing money.

[Looks at the Dreamberry in awe.] It can do all that? [He doesn't bother asking how, he doubted it would make any sense at all.]

So... this person at the onsen. I know them? You say I meet them when I'm "older?"

What's he like?

What's Fay like? [Schrodinger had to think about this for awhile.]

Well, Fay's very enthusiastic,speaks very well,he's also very welcoming and understanding.He seems to like your culture a lot and is eager to learn. And he's flamboyant!

[Kurogane noticed a lot of 'very's in there... He wasn't sure what to make of that exactly.]

Flamboyant? What do you mean? Like he's really loud and excited all the time? [He guesses that would go with the "very enthusiastic" wouldn't?]

More like colorful~ [Schrodinger couldn't help snickering at a mental image of Fay wearing those rainbow pants Magnus gave him.]

But he's a good person. You seem to only surround yourself with those type of people anyway.

[Colorful...? That sounded a bit like that other guy who'd called and made it sound like he knew him too. It was not exactly inspiring confidence, but the cat-boy's further words made Kurogane pause a moment, blinking at his back before he caught up to him again.]

... Well... That's good. I wouldn't want to think I don't. [Even if it was weird to think he meant himself older somehow.] You seem it too.

Like a good person? [Schrodinger smirked.] I'm afraid that's wrong. I'm actually one of the bad ones. Your older self just tolerates me or that's what he wishes to think, anyway.

[He turns to Kurogane as he makes his last point.] But I must admit you become a very interesting person when you grow up.

[Eyes Schrodinger uneasily now. One of the bad ones?] I... I wouldn't just put up with you if you're a bad person. I'm sure of it.

... What do you mean "interesting?"

Well, you would know better than I. You are "you", after all.

I mean interesting as in you're not boring. I have a good times talking to your older self and even spending time with him. But even more so, I like his perspective, the way he views things.
