Quick survey: do you know anyone from home here, or are you the only one who got brought from your world?

And is it weird to people from modern Japan to see Valentine's Day not being advertised in February? It was only really brought over after my death, but the last few years I've been around for it, you can't miss all the sales and promotions.

I'm the only one from my world.

Yes, it is super weird, and I am weirdly nostalgic for the frankly ridiculous amounts of homemade chocolates I would get.

[She can't eat it, but getting things from her fans was very sweet, OK??

Wait.]

HOLD ON, "DIED"??? ARE YOU A GHOST???

[thesettingsun]

Lucky, lucky. I mostly get storebought from my coworkers.

More or less? I'm solid, but very much a dead person.

[shutter_hime]

They're good, and if I had some here, I'd give them to you because I'm not allowed to eat it.

Also, that's weird. Like, are you saying "dead" as in "you died the last time you checked" or "dead" as in "actually: zombie"?

[thesettingsun]

Definitely the first one! No rotting or eating brains here.

[shutter_hime]

Oh good. Because the latter is really scary and I'm bad with horror movies.

[Not that her school isn't a horror movie... But that's neither here nor there.]

[thesettingsun]

Don't worry, this is more fantasy genre than horror.

[They're already isekai'd, so like...]

[shutter_hime]

I mean, it's definitely got that Ghibli bent to it.

Even if the food doesn't look half as appetizing in real life.

[Does he know what Ghibli is? Who doesn't, right? At least she's not crying those exaggerated giant, blobby tears.]

[thesettingsun]

I've never actually seen a Ghibli movie. I know they did one based on one of my coworkers' stories though?

[shutter_hime]

idk how much I believe that, though.

Aren't all the stories from Ghibli taken from English works, mostly?

They are fun, though. But they make me cry every time.

Have you read Hori Tatsuo's The Wind Has Risen? That's the one in particular.

[shutter_hime]

No; I generally don't have a lot of time to read. I guess that's kind of different now? But I like being active, but reading books and running or practicing volleyball don't mix, lol

[thesettingsun]

You're missing out. Books are way better than sports.

[shutter_hime]

Agree to disagree there. Especially if you're not a person suited to sitting around, like me. Besides, how can I meet new people and get new views if I'm reading a book?

[thesettingsun]

What new views are you going to get from sports? How to kick a ball differently?
