[ It's in the fading hours of the night that this particular text message graces the network. Well, if by "graces" it's meant that this text nearly a month in the making is suddenly, rapidly thrown together and retyped over the course of a few restless hours leading to this. ​]

Lightning-kun, you aren't allowed to weigh in.

[ And having lead with that -- ]

How do you define the term 'boyfriend'? How should it be defined?

There's been some confusion about it lately. I'm simply looking for clarification, that's all.

[ Emphasis on the "that's all," not that such things are necessarily perceived through text, and that suits one Setsura Light just fine. ]

really? i've heard that before. that more than one exists in other worlds
but yes, i field all of it
it's easier than it sounds

[chichichi]

Is it just Japan?

You don't have to answer if you don't want to. I'm admittedly curious.

[dreamvour]

i don't mind!
it's all of japan, sometimes parts of china and korea
wherever i'm known really

[chichichi]

That does make some sort of sense to me. I know beings who function similarly.

[anthropophagite]

[ haha what happiness... ]

Of course. There are many people in the same situation that I am. And that you are, too. There are many people like us.

[dreamvour]

it's easier for me because time works differently in the realm of dreams
so if there's other beings who manage similar things i can't help but be impressed

[chichichi]

Are you more of a tea person or a coffee person?

[chichichi]

What is the realm of dreams like?

[anthropophagite]

Coffee. Or water. I'm not a fan of anything else. [ he can't have anything else]

[dreamvour]

it appears differently to everyone
but for me its an "endless" void with floating televisions
(it isn't really endless, it just looks that way)
if someone else shows up it changes, too
i visit a god in america often and her part of the realm is some place in the desert

[chichichi]

How curious.
Do the televisions show you people's dreams?

[chichichi]

Perhaps we could get a cup sometime, then. I don't know coffee nearly as well as I do tea, so I'll be counting on you to recommend a good brew if you're game.

[dreamvour]

they do
nightmares are full of static, thats one way i find them

[chichichi]

I imagine you're used to it. I can't help but think that's an interesting sound by which to track a meal.

[dreamvour]

it's something, that's for sure
i can tell on my own, too, but the static helps when i feel lazy
it isn't loud or annoying either, just
background noise?
if that makes sense

[anthropophagite]

[ oh he is being invited for coffee? Maybe? ]

Of course. I know all the spots around here, so I promise to show only the best.

[chichichi]

I'll be holding you to that. When would a good time for you?

[chichichi]

It sounds like something best experienced. Putting it like that, I think of hunting cicadas.

[dreamvour]

it's kind of like that
but hunting cicadas is more fun

[chichichi]

Are you any good at it?

[dreamvour]

i've only ever done it once
i wasn't good at it but i still enjoyed it
it's fun to watch, too

[anthropophagite]

Anytime works. I admit I haven't found much to occupy my days with, besides reading.

[chichichi]

It is the season.

[ Is this an invitation? It's an invitation. ]

[dreamvour]

is there a good place to do it here?

[invitation accepted]

[chichichi]

My own schedule is a bit complicated. How about I take a look at it and contact you?
