westedge | PC: Kyoko

oh shit this is awesome
hi
does that mean the delay in messages is gone now?

from username lemonmeringue:

Hello.
It seems that way. This is still Kyoko, the username just changes every time I send them. I'm not sure why?

from what i understand from the other guys it's to avoid tracking who's sending messages to who
lemonmeringue is kinda cute for you though
if i concentrate hard enough would i get your voice back?
this is fine too idm
i'm just glad i get to talk to you again
it hasn't been that long but...it also kind of has

from user antichristianity:

lemonmeringue... that's a type of dessert, isn't it? I don't think I've ever had it before.
Yes, I believe that's how it works. I'm not that far away from you guys when we talk.
Either way is alright for me, its just more work on your end to hear me talk.
The time here always feels weird. Long and short, all at once. I'm usually better at keeping track than this.
But every adventure I went on was determined to give me additional memories.

[ hELP THESE NAMES mira i really hope you're not having to make these up with each tag. ]

yup. if i knew where to get it, i'd show you
it's not bad if you like a little tartness
i've been getting the impression you're all really, really close. like we should be able to touch you but we aren't able to yet
i don't mind putting in the work but if you think this is okay then i can keep it up
it probably feels very confusing for you doesn't it?
is it at least the same time and day over there for you as it is for us? or does that look different too?

[haha]

from user crusaded:

It might actually be back at that diner from one of those earlier places? That seems like the spot. Not that our side lines up to yours at the moment.
I think you're right. We're both in Shibuya, though both sides see fractured. Hard to say what exactly did that.
I'm alright either way, so I'll leave that choice up to you.
20 something years of memories plus all this additional. Then again you lived through a whole life.
Yes, it's the same day. Monday. I think it's the same time. Seems like night?

even if our sides don't line up you can still see stuff as long as i concentrate right?
i think i have an idea but i can walk and text
how fractured does your side seem?
you think it's shibuya split into parts for your side and ours?
i feel like me living through a whole life is an outlier scenario and doesn't mean everyone else's confusing memories aren't as confusing
but i understand your point
yeah. it's night-ish and it's a monday, so that's good to know that the clocks are still synced. it means you're definitely not as far

From user knight:

That's right. I might run into a wall or something on this side that isn't there on yours.
The things that should be in Shibuya do not exist, but there are places here that we can't reach. You seem to have them there. I believe they're supposed to be one Shibuya.

[ he does not reply!

instead, he is busy concentrating very, very hard to try and bring kyoko to him where he is at the diner with a slice of pie in front of him that he has zero intention of eating. but also. focusing... ]

[Here she is, fuzzy like a ghost in her usual outfit by now.]

Hello, Jonas. It's good to see you.

It's good to see you, too. [ he gestures to the pie slice, unsure if she can see it. ] Lemon meringue, if you were curious. I know you can't taste it, but you can at least get an idea.

[ also it was an excuse to sit down and concentrate enough to talk to her. ]

[Looks at the slice of pie. She can see it!]

I'll have to give it a try some time. [Even without a sweet tooth, sometimes curiosity wins out.]

Do you it's cute for me because of my hair? [Just an idle thought.]

When you're actually back, we'll celebrate with some dessert. How about that? [ but he looks at the pie and then at kyoko and he kind of laughs. ]

I think that's probably a good association, yeah. You have good hair. [ it's a nice color. ]

Dessert and coffee? [Playfully, she knows her coffee is only to her own taste.]

Thank you. I spend so much time taking care of it. [Her hair is so long.]

Only if I get to pick the coffee, too. Figure you have to have something good at last once before the end. I don't know how you do it though. Having long hair would probably drive me crazy.

You can pick the coffee, but I'll bring mix-ins.

People can really start getting used to anything. I should try some different styles with it some time. [ What's the point of long hair if you don't play with it. ]

Okay but! Even better, what if you didn't and let me mix instead? I was a barista in a different life.

You could. I think you could probably do whatever you want by now, you know? [ considering...she is dead. ] I'd offer advice, but I don't really know how to do girls' hair.

[Heehee.] Just once, I'll let you live your barista dreams.

Kaveh did it for me the last time I put it up. I have some time to learn during the rest of the week. [(lmao.)]

Thank you. Also that makes sense. Kaveh...actually gave me a trim a few weeks ago and helped fix mine, too, so I think he's probably just good at that kind of thing. So far the week looks okay, so it's not like it's a bad time to learn in our downtime. Keep yourself busy.

[ until the whole game blows up, it's fine. ]

[ Looks at the future! Yeah! You all got blown up and time traveled and had to solve a hangman. ]

Kaveh has a good aesthetic sense. I have to give him that.

I'm not really used to having downtime at all. It feels strange.
