It's a little weird, right?

Being here? More than a little.

[mingling]

Yeah.
Thanks
It would be weirder if only I thought it was weird.

Depends on what you mean. What's weird?

[mingling]

Well

[Where to begin.]

It's not what I expected

un: pro.fisherman

[heavyhead]

You can say that again. What's with all the plants?

[He's not even new, but still.]

[mingling]

[That is decidedly NOT the weirdest part, in Natsume's opinion, but at this point... what does he know.]

It's beautiful here, at least.

Most things in this place are.
What is weird to you, exactly?

[mingling]

Lots of things
I know they're trying to help, but
Isn't this technically illegal?
Maybe more than technically.

I don't want any police reports or anything. At my home. I could have left a note first, at least. But then I'd be a runaway, right? That's no good, either.

But, I know they probably weren't thinking about that. I guess it's not surprising. Even if it's not surprising, though, it's weird.

If they think I should be here, maybe I should be here, but I wasn't really prepared.

Do you dislike it?

[mingling]

Weird things?
Everyone deals with them from time to time

[Which is not exactly what was asked—that's deliberate.]

@badou

[yaylungcancer]

I've seen some pretty weird things, and this definitely takes the cake.

[mingling]

Okay.
If I were the only one who thought it was weird, it would be the weirdest thing that ever happened to me.

That depends on what exactly you mean by 'it'. I could answer that myself, but I'll spare you that venture. What exactly is 'it' to you?

[mingling]

[It sounds like maybe a teacher, or like the sort of adult who used to lose patience pretty quickly with him when he was a kid. You say you're afraid of 'it', that you can see 'it'. What exactly is 'it'?

Natsume's caught between a prickle and an emotional prostration. Both are automatic.]

Sorry, that wasn't clear. The circumstances.

un: RuffRabbit

[bunnyblock]

Not really.

[mingling]

It is. It's weird that you're saying it's not, even.

text; un:youradhere

[buildingcastles]

Yeah. Only a little, though.

Most of it is kind of normal?

[mingling]

Yeah
Surprisingly

[Which, uh, in his opinion, is weird in and of itself, but maybe he should stop harping on it. He's a little embarrassed, by now. Social media can garner this many responses, huh...]

It's pretty here

text @altin

[bringbackgold]

A bit, yes.

[mingling]

So if so many people think it's weird
I wonder what the people who brought us here expected, exactly

[sixtyeighth]

No.

[mingling]

[...

That's weird! he thinks.]

So different kinds of people are here

un: v.nikiforov

[genice]

Also surprising! Welcome to Riverview, from the sounds of things.

[mingling]

Yeah, surprising

Thank you very much. I'll be doing what I can.

[This is some sanitized worry.jpg.]

un: bluebird

[exfine]

Depends on what kind of weird we're talking about here. But it's all wonderful, isn't it?

[mingling]

[Wonderfully weird, he thinks, and dryly. But...]

Do you think so? That's good

[He's not accustomed to texting much, so he's not used to the tonelessness of text, either. Otherwise, he'd be smiling mildly, the most tepid pleasantries.]

[text: un shigeru miyata]

[mysophobic]

It is a bit weird! But you definitely get used to it after awhile.

Did you just arrive here?

[mingling]

Yesterday

[And... yes. Natsume may be bad with people, but even he knows leaving it at that is a tragic lack of conversational skill. At least try, will you...

...]

Getting used to things is how it works, I guess

[That may not be much better!! But it was an attempt!!!]

@meow

[maskerading]

Think it's the bad kind of weird?

[mingling]

The inconvenient kind
