Hey wyd?

[fessus]

Who is this

[coherer]

Ha ha you're so funny. Why'd I even text you?

[fessus]

Bc I'm the only slightly normal person here?

[coherer]

yk what, I was gonna deny that to be spiteful but then I thought about it for .5 more seconds.

What is with that? It's like every 2nd person is a total nutcase.

[fessus]

Idk.....

Ig I've known weirder so maybe it's me, maybe tomorrow you're gonna flip on me and start acting crazy too lmao

[ please don't ]

[coherer]

Right, then just knock me out?? It's not hard.

What do you mean you've known weirder? Like in your world there were weirder people?

[fessus]

Wow you went right to you attacking me. Here I was thinking just you sending me weird messages, where's your mind at??

And yeah more or less. Your world's Earth right?

[coherer]

No like if I'm talking a bunch of bullcrap like that chick Fukawa on the soul app, then knock me out. That is my worst fear now, becoming that level of insane. (idk if you can see our msgs, but just read her profile and you'll get it automatically. Stay away from her and yw lol)

What's yours called again? Esso or smth.

(yes, the kingdom of lucis is located squarely within a gas station.)

[fessus]

Can't see them but I'm choosing to believe you, it's not like I'm trying to find extra people to have to talk to.

[ Just vague enough to not be accusatory, at least, but his forced socialization still doesn't appear to be wholly appreciated. ]

Eos, ee-ohs. We call it our star but I'm getting from the few convos I've had that that is too confusing for Earthers or Earthians lol

[coherer]

So does that make me the only one? I'm flattered lol

(jonas takes it in a teasing direction. a big part of him echoes the sentiment, but the other half would prefer to have company in such an intimidating world.)

I am distraught we're not called Earthers though tbh. It's actually earthlings which is kind of embarrassing like we're tiny or smth but ig compared to everything else in the universe we are.

To us, when we hear "star" we think "ball of fire in the sky" aka the sun. We call our star a planet, which like the difference is p cool actually lol

[fessus]

Earthlings???

Wow you guys had so many options, that's rough. Planet-based Earthlings lol you have no idea how ridic that sounds to me and you never will, count yourself blessed.

It's Eosians for us but no one ever says that I'm

[ He hits "send" faster than he means to, fingers hovering over the screen as he momentarily hesitates over his next move. His next choice to share just a bit more. ]

Lucian

[coherer]

Wow, that was so dramatic for seemingly no reason.

I'm

(waits for a few moments before sending his next text:)

American.

ik ik it all sounds ridiculous but keep the rest of your commentary to yourself, I am already humiliated enough as it is. idek why they actively chose earthlings. "Eosians" on the other hand makes you guys sound like an alien race to me. lol

Is it Lucia or smth like that? A country I'm guessing.

[fessus]

Lol shut the hell up, I hit send too fast

[ you CRETIN ]

Lucis and yeah, it's a country. Kinda bizarre realizing that people here really don't know about it.

And ftr American sounds like a prescription drug with way too many side effects.

[coherer]

(hahahahaha)

If America were actually a drug it'd be exactly how you described it. Like those tv ads where they say all the side effects at the end on like 2.5x speed lmfao

There are a few other Earthers I've noticed here but I think most of them are from the country Japan. It's kind of unfair there's no one you can talk to from your star.

What's Lucis like though??

[fessus]

Good to know those ads are universal, and by good I mean "trash bin vibes".

Anyway it's w/e. Tell me that Japan and America at least get along or that's gonna make things here dramatic real quick. If I end up having to throw down for you I want a warning.

It's big ig? That questions pretty broad, what's America like?

[zangetsu]

you wanted to know about my fighting.

meet me at the hinterlands.

（ this is ichigo bodily trying to drag himself out of truly spectacular amounts of depression and also a player who ain't gonna tag a post at captcha so yk hello!! ）

[fessus]

[ come into my captcha-free arms ]

Slow down, 15.

This isn't me saying no but are you saying you wanna fight me? Or let off some steam?

[ Well, this is a surprise. And, given how painful it was getting away from the Hinterlands in the first place, not a small ask. Somehow, however, Noctis has the sense that it'll be worth it to agree. ]

[zangetsu]

Neither.

There's a notice board mission about a fallen star. Somebody's paying for shards.

Seems like it could be dangerous.

[fessus]

Yeah? You wanna risk having a partner who hasn't proven himself in combat yet?

Must mean you think you're pretty good. Guess that also means I'm interested.

The hinterlands aren't small, where should I be looking to meet you?

[zangetsu]

or maybe i'm just relying on you to protect me.

（ iyaa, tasukete, noctis-san~~

but in all seriousness: ichigo is pretty aware of his own capabilities, and while he's not an egotist, he's not exactly rife with humility, either. ）

here.

（ a location ping, it's somewhere easy to reach, sort of at the borderlands to the rest of stygia proper. ）

[fessus]

As good as I am even ik I haven't proven myself to you either. It's cool though, I can play backup.

[ He's not too proud for all his bluster – in reality if he could play second fiddle a hell of a lot more than he's forced to he'd be a much happier person. What a dream. ]

Now I'm gonna need a time and then we're set

Or at least maybe after you tell me what's the deal with your un being 15

[zangetsu]

it's a pun on my name. ichigo.

you seem like you know japanese so you can probably figure it out from there.

（ why is he not using 一, the actual kanji that would sound like ichi, you ask?

because this is his idea of being incognito about it. clearly, no one will make the connection if his username is read as jūgo. #winning ）

as for time, let's say 2 hours.

[fessus]

It's got a totally different name where I'm from but sure, unless there's some major changes we don't know about yet I can read/speak it. Kinda weird actually. As weird as that pun.

[ Which is his way of hiding his own jealousy. Could he come up with an interesting pun for his own name? Should he try? ]

Cool I can be there. I've got some supplies too if we end up needing stuff.

[zangetsu]

well, 'ichi' means 'one', and 'go' means 'five'. the kanji for my name is 一護.

（ 'one who protects'.

... man, kinda lame when he has to explain the joke tho. ）

sure.

i'll bring some too. should be fine.

see you then.
