[Genbu seems to be stuck in katakana mode. He seems to be struggling with this device in general.

Listen okay, he doesn't really know much about fancy schmancy tech, he doesn't even use a tomephone back home.]

i suppose they will probably tell me then. i think that's happened once or twice in my life! Everyone else seemed not to mind!

[A pause.]

are u trying to say you don't like me calling you Loulou?

[disasdeer]

I don't really have any strong emotional connection to my name, so I don't really care.

Still, since I can't necessarily predict, I assume the name someone gives is one they prefer.

Pressed send prematurely oops

[protectorofsmiles]

[Genbu can only stare at the screen of this funky button device. What was this person going on about? Was names and nicknames really so important?

What was Genbu doing all this time, then? Was what he did all his life really that strange...? Why did no one ever say anything to him before?

Congrats, Loulou, you probably gave Genbu an existential crisis.]

haha I think ur the first person who's ever really wondered this long about my nicknaming!

[disasdeer]

Ah, is that so?

Well, if no one is bothered by it, then no harm.

FEASTING ksjjs phone wtf

[protectorofsmiles]

seersly tho, I never really thought about it until y
u brought it up. It was always just something I did, never really thinking about it. Haha now I wondering why I do it myself!

But I guess the best I can say is if someone is bothered by it wont force nicknames on them

Loulou~

[Okay he might be teasing him at this point. But some time passes.]

did u get here like I did?

[disasdeer]

Yes, I did - presumably we all did. Time was strange.

[protectorofsmiles]

it's reely scary isn't it? The skolars back home always talked about different universes. Heck I even visited a different shard myself. But this feels ways different than the other ones. The only thing the same is that the locals heer use magitek or so they say

[disasdeer]

I don't know that I'd call it scary. Just strange. Not sure what makes it scary.

[protectorofsmiles]

the fact that youre an an entirely new world out of random full of strangers with no unsure way to get back?

[disasdeer]

It's not like someone came into my house and kidnapped me. It's not really scary at all because of that. Maybe I'm just harder to scare.

PHONE LET ME MAKE TYPOS PLEASE

[protectorofsmiles]

sounds like you been thru a lot then. Not being easily scared is cool, but that just means uv experienced things no one ever shud!! Did you actually get kidnapped befor??

[disasdeer]

I've never had anything like that happen before. My life was fairly normal before here. I just see no reason to be afraid of things that can't hurt me.

[protectorofsmiles]

Well they don't have to be hurtimg u like right that moment right??????? It's that sense of being in an unown place, where you don't know what's happening. And the possibility that something CAN hurt u!!

[disasdeer]

I'm a deer. There's a lot of things can kill me where I come from, too. But, if I'm afraid, I'm going to be miserable.

[protectorofsmiles]

what

How are you a deer??

Yu can't be a deer!!!! What!!!

How are you typing with hooves

[disasdeer]

Wait - why are you asking how? Obviously I've always been.

I don't have hooves. I have fingers. And toes. And stand on two legs.

Genbu is being racist I'm so sorry

[protectorofsmiles]

[...The mental image Genbu conjured up from that description is terrifying]

haha you're messing with me! Deer are wild animals they can't type!!

i am laughing i love him

[disasdeer]

Well, I'm not wild, and I am typing.

So everything you said is wrong.

[protectorofsmiles]

[Some time passes.]

So you're like lupin? Or Hrothgar? But like deer?

[disasdeer]

Lupin? ...No.

Just a red deer. From the Cervidae family.

Nothing more than that.

[protectorofsmiles]

No I mean

Why don't we just meet?

I made a fire next to the river near where the building we came out of is

[disasdeer]

Alright. I think that sounds fine. I'll be there.

[protectorofsmiles]

[And with that, Genbu puts his device down and continues with his fish roasting. Hopefully he gave enough of a description for the 'deer' to find him.]

[disasdeer]

[ He almost can't believe he's trekking down here to meet this random weirdo. What a strange time for him. But, he sees the fire - then the... large human? He's going to assume human. He looked human-ish, at least. Close enough. His limited experience with them means he has no real idea.

He approaches and: ]

Genbu, right?

[protectorofsmiles]

Zzzzz-GAH!! huh, wha-AGGH!!

[Oh the absolute whiplash of one dozing off in the wilderness, woken up by a sudden noise and then turning to see the silhouette of a creature with strange spikes coming out of its head. Once he comes to his senses, he recognizes that it's a deer.]

...Loulou?
