What's that saying? Time isn't real! [ hehe ]

Good to see you again too, Ananke-san!

[spinebuddyandme]

Did Aides have a chance to fill you in on everything yet, or did he get too excited just getting to see you again?

[sparksystem]

We talked about a lot of things! I think I'm mostly caught up.

[spinebuddyandme]

Mostly's pretty good for your first day. You've got plenty of time to fill in any missing details.

[sparksystem]

Mm! We have a long list of things to do too. The barn was so empty.

[spinebuddyandme]

It won't be for long. We'll have that list finished before you know it.

But...uh, just how many things are on it? Sometimes they give you multiple tasks to get one thing, so it can add up fast.

[sparksystem]

Six, but I am leaving room for up to ten priorities right now. Since I'm sure we'll add more as things arise. Like soup.

[spinebuddyandme]

Is soup normally a big priority for you?

[sparksystem]

Nope! That's why it's good I left space for it.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ snorts in amusement ]

Shouldn't you be saving it for better stuff? Like a private theater, or a dedicated game room so you can have friends over for co-ops.

[sparksystem]

Nii-san will need food and soup is easy.

[spinebuddyandme]

That's true if you like cooking, but I can't picture him in the kitchen...

Do you usually cook for him?

[sparksystem]

I don't know how to cook either!

There's vending machines and a cafeteria and at home we have the ration bars. . .

[spinebuddyandme]

[ This is what he expected and yet he still has many concern ]

Well you'll get some rations here too...and Lily will always be happy to cook for Aides, but do you want to try any cooking here? I could show you some basic stuff if you're interested.

[sparksystem]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

[spinebuddyandme]

Oye, no problem! It's important to be able to take care of yourselves here. You're always welcome at Lily, but there'll be some days you don't want to leave your own barn for anything.

[sparksystem]

Mm. . . especially nii-san, he can be a little shy though. . .

[ debates for a moment but ]

Does he seem super shy to you? Or maybe he seems somewhat personable? At home he's fairly eccentric.

[spinebuddyandme]

He's super shy and too hard on himself. I had to argue to get him to believe me when I tried to tell him I think he's cool.

[sparksystem]

I'm happy you think he's cool . . . it's not good that he's having trouble but it's kind of a relief to know he's the same as he is back home too.

[spinebuddyandme]

I wish he were having an easier time too, but I'm kinda glad that most of his problems are so...normal.

[sparksystem]

[ hehe ]

You make it sound like you have problems that are abnormal by comparison?

[spinebuddyandme]

Well...uh. How much about this place has been explained to you? You know about everyone coming here from other worlds, right?

[sparksystem]

Yes, and it seems from other times.

[spinebuddyandme]

Sometimes the situations in those worlds can get, uh...intense. There've been people with ancient gods in their souls, or with toxic acid for blood. That kinda thing is what I'd consider abnormal.

[sparksystem]

Oh wow. Toxic acid for blood sounds really dangerous.
