Our avatars are in a room together

"I'm not bad, but it's hard to talk without someone to bounce off."

"Well, that's not me! I'm... I'm... fight me!"

she immediately flinches like she's expecting a hit

I know. How that feels.

It's about the topics, isn't it. You need a common one.

Outside

(@Misaki) Oh. I, uh, wasn't...?

Trust me, you don't want me to throw a serious punch at you.

-he hasn't moved a single muscle-

Probably not even a joking around punch.

Roof (Misaki)

-Misaki looks at the book, more intrigued than you'd expect from here.-

"...What are you reading?"

-She shakes her head to Pan.-

"No, you weren't. It's fine."

-Back to the book.-

"Some rulebook for some weird game Aunt Moya's playing with Anya and some other lady here? They thought I would be interested in running a game with friends, I think?"

Roof

(@Misaki) That's great... How, um, is your day so far?

(@Andy)What game are you talk...talking about?

-MEANWWHILE, in the main room-

-Lily sits next to luis watching tv-

-luis seems to be bored, but lily's rather invested-

Roof (Misaki)

-A game rule book...-

"What type of game?"

-How has Misaki's day been...-

"...Fine."

Main Room (Ai)

-Ai walks in from upstairs. Her talk with Leos is buzzing through her head.-

-Aichi was kidnapped... Leos blames himself... Sthesia and Misaki didn't want to let her know... Aichi's been gone for a number of weeks...-

-...It's all just...-

-...? She gets distracted from her thoughts and looks up. She sees Luis and Lily.-

"Oh... Hello, Luis..."

-She tries to sound not so worried and depressed, but she's not succeeding.-

-She looks over at Lily as well.-

"...Um... Are you a friend of Luis's?"

"It's...a tabletop RPG, I think? I mean, I'd get laughed outta school if anyone back home found out I played something like this..."

Roof

(@Andy) Why would someone laugh at that? I thought tabletop games encouraged creativity and let people collaborate on stories together?

(@Misaki) Good...great. Heard about any news?

luis looks up at ai and is NOW on alert-

Ah—um—y—yes...!

Oh—hello...

-OKAY YEP TIME TO CHANGE CHANNEL OH LOOK FISH TOTALLY NOT ROMANCE TRASH NAH!-

"I dunno, people might think I'm a total nerd..."

-That word probably gives Pan some flashbacks-

"... Mm. I'm sorry."

"... Y-you're mean..."

Roof (Misaki)

-Tabletop RPG... She knows of them. She works at a card shop, but even so she's aware that people are fond of tabletop RP Gs as well.-

"...Well, do you want to play it?"

-And then she looks over at Pan and...-

-...-

"...Nothing."

-She's lying (She's still got Aichi's kidnapping on the brain, not to mention Zamasu...), but it doesn't really seem much different than anything else she has said so far.-

-Pan's a child. She doesn't need to freak a kid out.-

—

Main Room (Ai)

-Ai's a little confused about why Lily frantically changed the channel, but she doesn't say anything about it.-

-Instead...-

"Um... I'm Aichi Sendou... or, um, Ai. What's your name?"

Yeahhh, I can be.

-shrugs-

But hey, at least I'm not punching you.

Roof

(Pan zones out and flashes back to her training with Piccolo.)

Flashback

Piccolo: Hell Zone Grenade! (surrounds Pan with lots of energy spheres)

What?! That's not fair!

(The spheres blow up.)

Piccolo: Why didn't you dodge, nerd!?

I'm...I'm sorry, uncle Piccolo!

Roof

(@Andy) Oh. Why are people so mean?

(Zones back in and glances at Misaki)

(@Misaki) So it's, uh, been peaceful so far?

Lily! just Lily...

Sh—she just ended up here like me somehow...

Why. Are you sorry. Is there anything to be sorry about.

"I mean, could be fun with enough people..."

-Pan spaces out-

"Uh...you okay...?"

Roof (Misaki)

-'Peaceful'... Not really, but...-

"As peaceful as it usually is..."

-...Make of that answer what you will.-

-Yeah, tabletop RP Gs are designed for multiple people...-

-Not that Misaki's ever played one.-

"Yeah, it's something that is intended for more than one or two people."

—

Main Room (Ai)

-Ai smiles a little.-

"It's nice to meet you, Lily."

-Ai gets a little bit of a sheepish expression when she hears that Lily just randomly ended up appearing here.-

"T-That happens to a lot of people... I ended up here suddenly too..."

-...How is everyone back home doing...?-

-She hopes time was frozen in her universe...-

Roof

(@Andy) I'm fine... Just fine. Just, uh, had a little daydream.

(@Misaki) I see. (briefly peeks at her locket. Misaki may notice if she's quick enough.)

O—oh...

...

-lily seems to be thinking now-

-meanwhile Luis is just sitting awkwardly-

... S—so... so how are you Ai?

"For not keeping conversation going."

"... I can do this! You're bald and ugly!"

"Uh...maybe you guys...would be interested? Maybe?"
