017 - [Action]

[hageshii]

[This is Goroh, nowhere near town. With the rain finally giving up and warmer weather setting in, he's decided to say "Fuck you, Luceti!" and head into the woods. By evening time, Goroh will have set up camp on the southern side of the western lake. He's got all the supplies he needs. A simple tent, cans of food, and a fire set up for him to cook over and make his tea. His journal? Back in his apartment.

Good times.]

[awakenedchaos]

[Nah, she won't be trying anything. She's merely wondering why someone else would bother to come out here... let alone why they'd bother to go camping here when most seem to be perfectly fine with simply staying in the village.

...Eh. That aside, as long as he stays quiet, she doesn't mind the presence of another person... not much, anyway.]

[hageshii]

[After a long enough period of silence and after he's added the leaves to his tea, he'll pour himself a cup. And then he'll produce a second cup and fill that one as well. There's your invitation, even if unspoken.]

[awakenedchaos]

[And that... earns him a headtilt. Why the second cup of tea? Shouldn't one be enough for one person?

...Yep. I'm afraid the intent of that gesture flew right over her head.]

[hageshii]

[After taking a sip of his own he looks up at her.]

Your tea's gonna get cold.

[awakenedchaos]

[Wait... her tea?]

...Eh?

[hageshii]

[He nods and takes another sip.]

[awakenedchaos]

[Huh. So he's really serious? Wow...

...Well, in that case, she's going to walk over to him and sit down, though she's... not going to try the tea just yet. She's still not really sure what to make of this right now, really.]

[hageshii]

[That's good enough for him.]

Didn't expect visitors out here.

[awakenedchaos]

[Nor did she, really.]

Nu is... frequently in this area. [It is one of her favorite places in Luceti, after all.]

[hageshii]

Yeah? Hope you don't mind me pitching up camp here a few days. [If you do, he doesn't really care.]

[awakenedchaos]

...Nu does not mind. [As long as he stays quiet, anyway.]

[hageshii]

Good to hear it. [He sets his tea down and offers a hand forward.]

Name's Goroh.

[awakenedchaos]

[And she's... not going to take his hand, though she does find herself staring for a moment.]

...Why did you come here...? [She's already said her name, and frankly, she's kind of curious about this, so... might as well ask about this, right?]

[hageshii]

[He pulls back his hand. Her question earns a grin.]

I can only stand a village of idiots for so long. Figured it was time for Goroh to go commune with nature.

[awakenedchaos]

...I see. [Heh. That's actually a reason she can relate to... to some extent, anyway.]

[hageshii]

[He raises his tea again.] Not your type of beverage, is it?

[awakenedchaos]

...It isn't. [Though to be fair, she... actually never tried tea before. Water's been sufficient for her thus far.]

[hageshii]

Pity. It's supposed to be relaxing.

[awakenedchaos]

...Eh? [...Why would a beverage be relaxing?]

[hageshii]

Go on. Give it a try, yeah?

[awakenedchaos]

[Alright, fine. She's curious now. Picking up the cup of tea...

...

...Well. That... tastes alright. Not too different from water, though. Then again, Murakumo units have a weird sense of taste.]

[hageshii]

[Ah, but it's nice and warm. Goroh takes a sip, but only after breathing in the steam through his nose. It's a very important part of the experience.]

It's Nu, right? You look pretty modern to me. What year you from?

[awakenedchaos]

[Yep. That's something, at least.]

...AD 2199. [That's not exactly a secret... though it's not like anyone bothered to ask about that before, anyway.]

[hageshii]

Ah. Like Litchi, then. [No wonder Nu looked so normal. She was from the present. For the most part.]

2201, myself. Different universe, probably.

[awakenedchaos]

[Litchi... oh, her. Right.]

...Most likely. [It's definitely interesting to know that there's other people from a similar time period here in Luceti, though, different universes or not.]
