Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

Demons are a thing!?

[WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, FUTURE WORLD]

[collegedropout]

Erm, uh. Yeah?

[Oh, wow, this is hard. He needs back the Nami that is jaded to all this stuff.]

I mean... Maybe not in your world... that I could tell...

[namisan]

Oh, well that's something. Just tell me this isn't some weird version of hell I've never heard of.

[Sadly a young Nami is still a Nami that squawks over even the smallest things, Sam.]

[collegedropout]

... Oh, no. Definitely not.

So there's that.

[He winces a smile.]

Sorry. Uh... Do you want a drink? I feel like this all probably requires a drink.

[We ARE in a bar, and all.]

[namisan]

[Oh look you know that makes sense--] Please. A drink or ten.

[Maybe if she just drinks enough the world will make sense. I mean, it can't hurt.]

[collegedropout]

No problem. Definitely. Uh, lemme just get you something.

[He moves behind the bar and is quick to prepare something he knows Nami likes.

He's been around you too much, obviously.]

I don't even know where to begin, honestly. We've... been friends for a few years now?

[namisan]

[...huh. She lifts the glass to swirl its contents, eyeing it after that first sip. The labels are unfamiliar, but the taste isn't so bad. Guy knows her tastes at least. ]

I'm amazed you stuck around that long. How did we meet?

[collegedropout]

[He plops down on a stool on his side of things.]

About, uh... Three years back? Four? It's hard to tell, with the... word jumping thing.

[A year or so in Adstringendum, a year back home, a year in the fleet, a year back home...? It's fucking confusing, okay. Let's not dwell on that.]

We met in another world from our own, actually. Before this one.

[namisan]

[Slow blink.] You're telling me I've lost three years of memories? [That is a loooot of time. She looks down at her arms and her ch-- ah.

Come to think of it, she is older, huh. >_>]

...wow. World-hopping is a thing. Okay, then.

[Wow, her rack really grew, man. Starin'.]

[collegedropout]

[... He's just gonna... not look where she's looking.

EHEM.]

It sure is, yep.

[namisan]

[Her gaze shifts eventually, it's all good. To the different tattoo on the arm, and she holds still a long moment. Okay.

Okay.]

So how did we meet?

[collegedropout]

... Erm... You know, I don't remember.

I think you threatened monetary compensation for me accidentally walking in on you showering.

[He says it so casually. But it's funny.]

Then we became buddies sometime after that, I guess. Maybe because the environment was always trying to kill us, so we figured being friends was a pretty good idea.

[namisan]

Accidentally, huh.

[Nami what are you implying]

Did I succeed at getting my monetary compensation?

[The tone has shifted a bit, though. No longer as stressed, she's definitely shifting into teasing.]

[collegedropout]

[Well, he prefers teasing before stress. Always.

But he huffs a laugh.]

Probably in some way. Actually, the place we were in didn't, uh, have money.

Or anything of the sort.

[namisan]

Oh, I see. [She nods, looking... well, not all that fussed about it, to be honest.]

So what you're saying is you still owe me money.

[collegedropout]

[He shrugs playfully.]

What, are you charging me now while it's on your mind?

[namisan]

Hey, if you've known me as long as you say you have, you'll know I never let go of a debt.
