[A young girl in a high school uniform appears on the Plane, clearly distracted. Over one shoulder she has a canvas bag stuffed with groceries. She’s frowning in deep concentration at the list in her hand. It takes her a little while to register the change in scenery, but when she does…]

E-eehhh?! …where am I? This isn’t that funny store.

I-I need to get home! [She’s flailing a bit, mentally if nothing else, though the poor list is getting rather crumpled.] Shigure-san is expecting me to make dinner. The dishes aren’t finished yet. I haven’t even taken out the garbage!

[She squares her shoulders in determination.]

I have to find… have to find the… exit.

[Annnd the determination gives way to utter confusion.]

Th-there’s… no… floor… How am I standing?! Maybe if I just… stay very still…

Ah! I am from Tokyo!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Really? I figured you must have been Japanese but I didn't think we'd actually be from the same city. But I bet 'your' Tokyo is a bit different from 'my' Tokyo.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

W-what is your Tokyo like, Shun-san?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Probably pretty much the same as yours. What year is it in your world? A lot of people seem to be from different times.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

1999. I met someone from before the 1900s!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I'm from 1990. Was there a Galaxian War in your world?

Really? I don't think I've meet anyone from that far back yet.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

G-g-galaxian War?!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Calm down gestures again] It was a fighting tournament that was held in my world. It was a really big deal and all the networks broadcasted it.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Ah, um, so i-it wasn't a real war, then? Th-thank goodness.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

No, I think Saori-san just called it a 'war' to make it sound more impressive. It was really just a series of useless fights.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Ah, uh, um, Shun-san wasn't hurt, I hope.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I didn't get hurt during the tournament and everyone else was fine by the end of it too.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

Oh good. I-I'm glad no one got hurt.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Smiles] Yeah, we were just lucky things turned out alright.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

[Serious nod nod] W-well, Shun-san seems like a good person, s-so of course things would turn out okay!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Thank you, you seem like a nice person too, Tohru.

[sweetumeboshi.livejournal.com]

R-really? [Bows.] Y-you are too kind, Shun-san.
