Text; un: Koromaru

Has anyone have any good news to hear? I think after everything going on, I really could use something positive right now.

Also, what kind of things are you guys into? I think I might try to gain some new hobbies now that I have the time for it.

[As Ken sees the message "ecraig is typing", he might feel an impending feeling of dread.]

I have some. You've been added to a watch list, young man.

@ blackbirdtarot, this is the boy I was talking about. The middle schooler who didn't listen to any of my warnings to stay away from danger and signed themselves up for the soccer game.

[Elliot you are fucking terrifying holy shit.]

more a "hey so how many actual minors do we have here again" list but

dude

this guy is gonna be your teacher next year why would you do that

[whatsamada]

[He really didn't want this!]

Because I made an error and I was being stupid.

[...]

And I might have gotten overconfident.

[whatsamada]

[Oh, he is sensing it alright. The moment he sees the message, the poor boy was at a loss of what to say. Between realizing his mistake and pissing off his future teacher, he didn't know what to do.]

I know and now I'm paying the price for it.

[drewthetower]

well at least you're self-aware. more than most kids your age anyway

but yeah don't fucking do that again kid. if Elliot doesn't do something about it, *I* will

[fiddlestick]

That's right. From now on, you'll only be allowed in the Spirit Realm if an adult or an approved upperclassmen is accompanying you. And you'll also be taking some survival courses if we can get those set up.

[He warned you sensei was more powerful than senpai. He warned you]

Now, how are you feeling? I've seen from some of the others that reviving can take it out of you.

[letmewin]

Dunno about good news but uh...for hobbies? I like video games a lot.

I play with my cousin a bunch

Well, I don't really have any good news, but...

I do have hobbies! I enjoy cooking, singing, watching musicals and opera and collecting guns.

un: why

[missingache]

Positive: Finished all of my finals without dying.

I've been practicing how to fight with this weird key-sword I got in the mail as a hobby.

I managed to get a lot of new material for my manga.

Though I have yet to draw anything worthwhile, it's all a lot of information and interesting.

I'll get back to you on the "good news" thing. Suddenly being taken from your home dimension into another one doesn't net a lot of positive experiences.

Alchemy's great! I mean, it's a job more than a hobby, but it's still worth pursuing!!

[whatsamada]

Mind if I see those drawings? Only if the both of you are okay with it.

[And there it was. Taking a deep breath in, Ken wanted to say he was but he wasn't. He wanted to lie but he also knew it would be making things worse. Instead?]

To be honest? I don't know.

[whatsamada]

Oh really?

Tell me, what kind of games do you play?

[And you know. Totally not trying to play it himself in secret too.]

[whatsamada]

Hey, that's still good news! You still have hobbies you're trying out!

Especially collecting guns. How's that turning out?

[whatsamada]

That's good! At least you can look forward to the rest of summer break now!

But key-sword? I didn't know there was a sword was that was shaped like a key.

[whatsamada]

What kind of information have you gathered so far? If you don't mind me asking.

Because I'm interested in reading this manga of yours.

[Which he may or may not do in secret.]

[whatsamada]

But you have made some friends right? So that has to be a positive!

And tell me, how do you do alchemy?

[whatsamada]

Thanks? I'll take that as a compliment.

But I won't. I doubt anyone would want to try and die again. The last thing I want is to make others worry.

[whatsamada]

Yes, sir. I promise that I'll only go there with someone and I'll stay out of trouble.

[He really really didn't want to do this. What has he done? Still, there was a considerable pause before he took in a deep breath.]

Honestly? I'm feeling tired and wondering what I should do from here.

[fiddlestick]

Good. Thank you.

[He'll be watching]

If you're feeling tired, then you should rest. You did just return from the dead, so it'd be better to try to take things easy for awhile.

[not_a_possum]

Well, I've had these hobbies for a quite a while now, so I'm not really trying them out, but...

It's been going great! I've been doing this for quite a while now and I have a few really nice historical guns, including a flintlock pistol made in 1748 and a 1911 colt that was originally used in the US Army. Of course, I also have a few modern guns since I'm not entirely sure these more historical pieces can safely shoot anymore, and I do like practicing my shot at the gun range...which I might not be able to go to in my current state, but...

Well, anyway, my point is, I have quite the collection at this point, even if most of my guns are purely decorative, and if there's ever a time period you take an interest in I'd be more than happy to share any information I have on the guns of that period.

[droptheious]

I guess I have, yeah. Probably? I'm not used to making friends my own age honestly, I'm not sure what counts.

[How do you interact with other teenagers? He doesn't know!]

That's like asking how do you do science, there's lots of different ways and it matters what you're trying to create. But I mostly work with chemicals- creating new chemical compounds and the like.

[theskyaccepts]

Usually when I'm with him, we play co-op games a lot, where you have to work as a team.

But I also like racing games and fighting games.

[whatsamada]

I know it's just...

[How could he explain this? He knows he shouldn't allow himself to be so burden with all of these emotions but at the same time?

He doesn't want to burden someone else with it too.]

It's a terrible feeling letting people down.
