[ 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. ]

[Despite the fact their on video, as he leans in, she leans back a little, a looking suspicious and very 'the fuck?']

No.

[But she says it a little too...haughty, a little too irritated. She looks around the room, taking stock of it, before she shakes her head with a little huff]

Nothing like this. Before I came here I was on a cursed mountain that I'd been exploring for a bit, but I've got some unfinished business there. So as relatively safer-so far- this place is, I'd rather go back.

[emyoji]

[ Ahhh, what a reaction! He keeps smiling, but Seimei draws back in his seat to wave his hand at her. ]

Oh, sorry, sorry! I know this place is a first-in-a-lifetime for all of us! I wasn't trying to compare it to anything. Although it does make you wonder, right? A place like this is weird even for weird standards!

You were on a mountain? Which one? Maybe we were neighbors.

[blackwaterchild]

It's weird and boring, which is honestly the worst part of it. [At least be weird and interesting!!

She looks a bit skeptical when he asks the name, but:] Mt. Hikami. It's in Hida-Takayama.

[emyoji]

[ He pauses, his mug half-raised. ]

Ah, is that near Hakusan? I think I remember they have pretty towns over there.

[ He watches her a little more curiously. ]

I guess I can understand why you'd think this is boring. That's a busy place to come from.

[blackwaterchild]

[She has to stop and think about it, mentally trying to picture the map] Uh-- Yeah, I think so. I think Hakusan is more near the coast?

[She puffs out a breath, then sighs] I used to travel, I used to live in the city-- There was always something going on. Here it's so boring and just... Fake.

[emyoji]

Ah, I guess compared to the city life this is a little quiet, huh? But quiet can have it's good points too. Look how relaxing it is!

[ He should be taking the whole kidnapped to another world more seriously, but he's never been able to take things that seriously. ]

Well... then again, you have a point. It would be more fun if this city had more life in it.

[blackwaterchild]

I don't feel relaxed. [She says it deadpanned, mouth forming a disgruntled pout] I've been relaxing enough.

If there was actually stuff to do, things to see, movies to go to, or something it wouldn't be so bad. It'd be more fun if there were a bunch more people too.

[Siiigghh. Life is so hard when you're constantly bored by everything and everyone]

Never thought I'd say that either...

[emyoji]

No? Maybe you'll feel more relaxed if you eat something good. That's always helpful.

Or you can put on a face mask and get a massage? I'm sure the stores must carry things for that.

[ He's helping, see? ]

It would be really relaxing if they had a hot pot restaurant here. Then we could all eat together. It would feel busier.
