there's been quite the rash of disappearances this month -- isn't this abnormal? It doesn't appear to be talked about, but I'd like to talk about it. Unless there's other information to be given, at least.

there also seems to be some who are able to go further out outside than others. i'd like for you to tell me how far you can go out, and how many tally marks you have.

it might not be relevant at all, but i'm searching for the purpose behind our scars.

Comments

ignore my proper punctuation in that first one i forgot that's not how noah types okay :/

[silentabyss]

what

i know it looks bad but i swear i dont remember where i got 19 of them.

he was feeling spicy and decided to captalize

[samuraiwomen]

ONLY 19????????????

[ Noah buddy she's your friend but...but. you did never tell her about the murders.

Give her a second.]

Because you're...a reasonable person I'm going to ASSUME you had a good reason for the other two.

[silentabyss]

...remember that time you caught me bandaging a wound?

...it was self defense, thats all. i didnt want to. i still feel bad

i dont have memories of anything beyond march this year so i dunno where the extra nineteen came from

i just remember them being there when i came to before the charity auction is all

[samuraiwomen]

Ah...yes. I was worried you were being bullied...or worse.

If it was self defense, then honestly, I'm glad you're here and not them.

Er...but. Nineteen is still a bit concerning though? I mean I have five, and I don't know where they came from but...

If this is a hard question, I really do apologize but...does it make sense to you, to have nineteen? Or is it surprising?

[silentabyss]

no not really

i dont like hurting people. back home when people turned into mutants i didnt even want to kill them even if it meant putting them out of their misery. theyre still people

i would only ever kill for revenge.

or self defense i guess even if id rather not be alive.

[samuraiwomen]

[ Lot of stuff to unpack there buddy...Where does she even start with this. ]

Ok, thats good to know...

Um, you know if you ever want to talk to me or Nene or anyone, we're here for you right?

And if you're mad at someone or in danger too. Killing for revenge isn't good.

[silentabyss]

why are you mentioning nene specifically

[bro the whole school knows. literally the whole school Knows.]

back home my brother was assassinated. so i have to kill that guy

really hes the only person i want to kill.

im fine btw

[what.]

[samuraiwomen]

Aren't you two...

[ No...she shouldn't say!! Even if she really really really wants to ask!!! ]

Well "btw" that guy isn't here, so lets all try to avoid anything dangerous. You have friends here.

[silentabyss]

???

[Yeah he only figured out like, at the beginning of the month if that, that he's got a crush on Nene because he's oblivious to good feelings.]

i know hes not here

if he shows up im going to mess him up tho

i dont actively look for dangerous stuff i just kind of find myself a part of it somehow. its my curse.

[samuraiwomen]

Nevermind. Tell Nene I'm sorry.

[ She tried! Noah you're cute, but she doesn't pity anyone who'd try to date him. ]

Your curse... [ Did she just somehow skip the part of Noahs personality where he overshares about this kind of thing or is he really in a bad way. She's Concerned. ]

Well I can understand the feeling. It feels like nobody understands when you do what you have to do to live...but you still need to rely on people!

[silentabyss]

[It's okay, Noah doesn't pity anyone who'd try to date him either because he has some pretty bad perceptions of himself. Clearly.]

no i mean

usually people who get close to me die or go missing, its happened here too

i made a lot of friends here and they either turned up dead or disappeared. thats the curse

on top of the other curse of usually walking facefirst into problems and having to fight my way out of them.

[He's just going to vent now kthx]

like in amongus...

[samuraiwomen]

Noah...

[ She's got her work cut out for her here. This is clearly a pretty deep set belief, so Sara doesn't really know what to say. She doubts she can change his mind with just words but...that sounds less like a curse and more like a lot of bad things happening to him. ]

Well I promise not to vanish, okay? That curse doesn't scare me. I don't believe in them.

just like that...

[silentabyss]

...okay

i mean believing or not believing probably wont help in the end but

as long as you dont disappear on me im fine w/ that

[And then, clearly jokingly:]

who else is going to yell at me about my test scores if youre not around??

1/2

[samuraiwomen]

If you fear something, you give it power Noah. Remember that.
But I'm never going to die. I'm going to live a long long time.
I told you that when we first studied together!

2/2

[samuraiwomen]

Which...speaking of...

[ They're over text, but Sara hopes Noah can feel the full force of her Study Now gaze through the tiny confines of the PDA. ]

Noah-kun. You never did tell me how you did on finals...

[silentabyss]

[why is she fucking feral]

right yeah and youre going to get married or whatever

youre not my mom im not telling you how i did on any other finals besides the fact that i got 100% on the art class final which is all that matters and also 86% in history so there

[samuraiwomen]

Career first! Then marriage! The order is important back home.

[ You know if she finds love or whatever. ]

Are you saying all those hours I spent teaching you calculus didn't matter...? :( Don't leave me in the dark, Noah...

But good job on history! An B+ is really impressive when you're starting from zero.

[ Literally his mom now. ]

un: y.kiryu

[comprises]

ah, what was that about friendship being magic...?

it's his business on where he got the tallies, i believe.

[samuraiwomen]

You're being very rude, Kiryu-san!

Noah is my friend, and we're perfectly capable of settling our own business without any nasty comments!

Besides, I would hope anyone would be concerned by the implication a friend killed twenty one people. I'm glad to hear that isn't the case.

[ In case Noah is reading this....sorry buddy. ]

[comprises]

i'm just stating facts.

settling your business...with 11 question marks?

[yes, he counted.]

like i said, it's hardly my business so long as nobody comes after me. i'd like to live to the end of things, thank you.

[he'd only let Neku kill him tbh]

[samuraiwomen]

Now you're making fun of the way I type...

Is there a reason you like poking at me? I don't want to fight Kiryu-san, but I don't need to explain everything I do to you.

[ Getting real tired of his bs. Hardly his business/ Like hell why he coming over here and making fun of her for... Don't be selfish Josh...get over here. ]

[comprises]

you're assuming too much about me. i'm just pointing out what's going on here -- it's not my fault you're taking it personally.

[sigh]

oh dear, my intention isn't to argue. i'm just reiterating what you told me. is it possible your words are conditional...?

sara: damn this guys a neet for reals.

[samuraiwomen]

Have you talked to many people before coming here?

[ She's not taking it personally: He's being rude! Sara won't stand for being told how she's feeling about a weird guy who comes over and starts analyzing her.

sigh ]

I haven't gone back on anything I said to you, Kiryu-san. It just may be that people are more complicated then you were expecting.

LMAO RIP

[comprises]

of course i have. i'm a very people-centered person.

[..............that's not exactly the truth.]

it's my job to know the way people work. i don't think anything can surprise me at this point.

[samuraiwomen]

Well then if you're such an expert, why don't you just go ahead and tell me why I'm acting the way I am.

I'm sure that would make you a lot happier then trying to explain it myself.
