[ Seimei is relaxing in one of the restaurant booths, apparently having a hot cup of coffee when he decides to pop up on the network. ]

Hello everyone! Has anyone figured out if we can go through the top yet?

[ Since powers all seem to be dampened and no one he's met yet can fly, it might actually make sense if the city had an opening above them. Well, it's at least worth setting that thought out for the public. They might get a chance to test it eventually. ]

Ah, but for an empty city, it's strange how consistent this place is when it makes us food. You would think that we would get some bad cups of coffee at least. It's more strange that it doesn't make mistakes.

[ He takes a sip to demonstrate. See? Perfect every time! ]

Since I'm talking about weird, my friend said that the only people brought here are strange ones. I thought it sounded like a good theory, so I want to ask: what is your strangest experience? Yes, we're all different from each other, but are you different from the people you came from? Or if we see things that are strange, sometimes we attract more things... Or maybe you're completely normal and this is a fluke?

I just wonder if this is really the first time something like this happened for all of us.

[ How many isekai veterans are in the city? This is important. ]

Comments

[emyoji]

[ Heine takes the comments well, which is a good sign to Seimei. Where most people have been reluctant to really talk about their lives or seem uncomfortable with how many strangers are in the city, he usually doesn't get too far with personal inquiries. This is a decent start. ]

It's not too dangerous at the moment, but I agree that we should be prepared for anything. It's quiet now, so that's why I'm asking what everyone is used to. If things get noisy later, it might be too late.

[ He sips from his coffee again, thinking. The limits of the city are a problem he hasn't resolved yet. ]

The area we're in is the same. It's just that I'd like to know what lies beyond us.

[ He likes Heine's direct nature and can afford at least some direct answers in return. ]

However, it seems we can't go beyond the current limits.

[kampfgeist]

we can't, but at least it doesn't seem like anything happens to us if we do
it just kind of spits us back where we came from
i tried it on my first day here, walking in the subway tunnels. it just sent me back to the same station

if it was smaller to start and then got bigger, i wonder if more of the city is going to open up over time...

[emyoji]

Ah, you too? I was hoping someone might find a loophole! Or wormhole?

[ Is there a difference? ]

You might have a point. It's possible since more buildings have been opening recently. And yet they aren't stocking the existing places any more or less than they have been. I wonder why?

Anyway, what is life like underground? Have you ever seen the sky before all this?

[kampfgeist]

dude, don't say that kind of shit out loud

[ c'mon! that's like asking to get jinxed... ]

before i got here i'd seen it once, but not for very long
it takes some getting used to

[emyoji]

No? But maybe if we find one, we can go somewhere else.

[He's helping, right? He's just helping!]

Have you been to the rooftops yet? That's the best way to experience it.

[kampfgeist]

not the wormhole, i meant
» "they aren't stocking the existing places any more or less than they have been"


can't say the idea of being on the top of a super tall building appeals for various reasons, but i'll take it under consideration

[emyoji]

Oh, but wouldn't that be interesting? If it did, we would learn more about the city's limitations!

[ Yep, that's the priority. Answering the questions and poking into things that maybe shouldn't be poked. He's not really worried yet. ]

No? I guess it's not the best view if we can't see that far out. Still, being up there has a good feeling. The air is different. And it might be a good place to hide things if they are going to hide anything.

[kampfgeist]

[ bruh ]

yeah, i don't think poking around the tops of buildings is for me
not unless i know for sure there's something up there worth seeing

[emyoji]

Hmm, I guess that's a little much, huh? Well, there could still be secrets hidden down on the ground. We haven't seen everything in the city yet.

[ The city keeps a lot of its locations closed and blocked off, which of course means Seimei wants to get to them. ]

I'm sure there are still things we can uncover.
