[ this is so funny. ]

I'm not wrong that anime does that though.

[squelching]

[help.]

Sure, sure. Whatever helps you feel better. The figure might as well be of somebody else.

[ballies]

[ she's just motioning to her face and the figurine, holding it next to her head like come onnnnn look at how cute they both are. ]

[squelching]

[miss tama... you are perfect...

they are both spared from saya being rude for the time being when a bunch of comic book panels suddenly drop down out of nowhere to surround them. this is fine.]

[ballies]

[ for the time being. quynn being like hi becks have this and i'm like i am not saya no uta blind but also lmao lol. ]

...

[ huuuuu


uh.


huh? huh. ]

...? Saya?

[squelching]

[well.

the color drains from saya's face as soon as she sees tama's reaction, and then




she bolts. i'm so sorry.]

[ballies]

[ a--- ]

H-hey! Saya, come back!

[ CAAAAN SHE CHASE HER? ]

[squelching]

[SHE MAY... saya's legs are so short and she's only had them for five weeks. she ain't outrunning tama, even though she just runs faster when she calls after her.]

[ballies]

[


wouldn't it be hilarious if she like. tackle hugged saya right as they got attacked by a wholeass memory as this happens? ]

[squelching]

[HELP

she whole ass freezes up, trying to process both the tacke hug and also what the fuck happened in that memory. hello???? did ryuki just watch his crush get crushed.]

... Tama...?

[ballies]

[ a mystery! but that sure was tama-eyeball huh. ]

Oof, those things have miserable timing.

[squelching]

[eyeball tamagotchi... also truly hate when i notice my mobile typos a whole ass day later. help. saya squirms, just a little.]

... It's your fault for chasing me...

[she probably does not mean this. sometimes you are simply Rude for reasons.]

[ballies]

[ does one tag from bed for miss saya because i am so tired but yes she is trapped now. tama gives her a squeeze. ]

You bolted!

[ not allowed. ] Of course I was going to make sure you were okay.

[squelching]

[tucks you in

saya squirms a little more, before giving up and just — slumping. she is trapped now.]

Aren't you scared of me? You saw.

[ballies]

[ does one more tag for saya.


yes she is caught now. ]

I don't know. I'm not gonna lie and say pretend it's not a surprise? [ she likes saya too much to lie to her to make her feel better and pretend everything's totally okay, wowee. ] I mean, I'm a guy's left eyeball so... it's not like I can really freak out about you having an appearance you're presenting to people, and one you're not when I'm kinda doing that myself.

[ who here is actually who they are presenting themselves as anyway? ]

I guess if this was our first week here, I'd probably be scared, but-- [ it's not. ]

[squelching]

... Mm.

[she sniffs, tilting her head to look at tama from a better angle.]

You're too big to be Ryuki's eyeball. Did this world change you, too?

[ballies]

[ idly strokes her hair. i guess they are just flopped on the ground in public like this. ]

Yeah. I can look like this, but it’s normally how I’m projecting myself to Ryuki and the other agents. And how they see me in Somniums. But “I’m” still here too. My item’s ‘Tama’, after all. It’s just a shell though.

It was weird, all the body stuff at the beginning, but I think I’m used to it now.

[squelching]

[the floor is their home now.]

... So it's not like it's a new form to you at all. But what's a Somnium?

[ballies]

Being actually physical sure is though. That's a whole other thing.

[ uhhh ]

A bit complicated? It's like a subconscious space in a person's mind, where they you can unearth hidden information. Things they might be unintentionally hiding... or intentionally hiding.

[squelching]

Hmm...? So you're basically invading someone's mind?

[ballies]

They have to sign waivers for us to be able to enter Somnium with them. Chasing serial killers or not, there’s government procedures to follow.
