[AKA, their husband. But Héctor can't be with them all the time, so here they are.]
Noticed a lot of places people are from are called 'earth', actually. Sometimes with weird shit. Los Angeles got wiped from the map back home before I was born, so what's it like for you?
LA isn't wiped off the map where i'm from but it probably will be in a few years. couple years back a big earthquake hit and whole chunks of the city crumbled into the ocean, and that wasn't the first time some shit like that has happened. whole city's cursed if you ask me.
Getting fused with the supernatural world kinda gave humanity so much shit that it's too easy to sit on their hands. People get bored, cities vanish.
[Nekane's home, New Tokyo, wasn't exempt. What's better then a black hole? A mobile, magical black hole!]
We've got all sorts of shit. I haven't met orks myself but my boss has. And elves are a thing, yeah. Contract signing happy assholes but they can be alright otherwise.
Although that ain't a thing for me. There apparently used to be dragons but they died out during the second world crash. We do have their decedents...kinda lizard people but they're alright.
Sounds like a lot of business guys I've met. Too much money, too much time on their hands.
And that sounds like my boss. Not so much the lizard man shit but he was a good guy and fucking frightening. Always good to know there's guys like that out there.
Usually back home people have a downside or some shit to their powers. Like someone who can control ice and fire can't regulate their own body temperature anymore or someone who can read minds can't defend their own mind without training.
So it sounds pretty sweet that there isn't a downside.
Quiet little town, nothing much happens? I'm guessing.
And nope. Héctor does but I ain't gonna make him stay glued to my side all week. Or however long this bullshit lasts. Magically I'm fine but I'm useless in the dark.
suit yourself but they have "games" there that are like going fishing, climbing a mountain, or flying around if it still works then playing those should just be like normal daytime
anyway is that a yes or a no on the cards when Héctor's gone sometimes
yeah no shit pretty sure Héctor thought I had something like that happen to me when I told him I knew him but nah I really did have two versions of my life jammed into my head and proof that both were real
and fuck yes, I need the money for cigarettes and so I don't have to do the damn laundry so often without having to touch people
Christ, and I thought my deal was shitty. Least I know I only got one life.
[As much as they did their best to pretend they had two, but still -]
And ain't that the dream? I'm thinking these gods are absolutely shit at picking people who'd actually sign up for this touching crap. Let me know when you're coming over and I'll give Héctor a heads up.
[haha...about that... Over the network wouldn't be the best time to bring up the fact that he knew Adriel (sort of) and most definitely assumed they were around the same age, Adriel even being slightly younger than him. Maybe he should have Héctor break the ice on that one, if they ever decided to go into it.]
seems that way then again you could get some real shitty creeps if you aim for people that want to go around touching folks
but yeah sure thing and if you need me to swing by so he can do some shit or whatever just let me know I'm pretty fast and don't live far
[...Well. A good handful of people have seen it now, and it's probably better to prepare them in case Héctor hasn't mentioned it. He doesn't expect that, but it would...be kind of cool of him.]
just fyi my eyes kind of do a thing in the dark sometimes
you know those pictures of animals staring at the camera at night? it's like that it's just how they are but some people think it's freaky you don't have to worry about it
You're not missing a whole lot. It's a giant pain.
It's okay, we're all a little spooked by something. And let's be real, the dark isn't really the most fun either. Have you tried sleeping? Even a little?
Yeah, I can say the same thing. I met my best friend, Shiho, at school too. And a few other friends. But really, that's all it's good for.
[ But Shiho's gone and Ren and Morgana have left and Makoto and Haru have both graduated, Yusuke's at a different school and she's... well. There's Ryuji. Who she's still managing to somehow get better grades than. Hm. ]
I know we don't know each other, but I could come over if that would help.
Supernatural things? That sounds like it has promise.
Although in a place such as this, one must wonder what you consider to be "supernatural"? I come from a world where magic and the like are commonplace and may be considered such. That might not be so common where others are from.

what year is it for you?
no subject
Shit, yeah. Sounds like it is. Mine went because apparently experimenting with black holes was a really good idea back in the day.
[Spoiler alert: it didn't end well for anyone involved.]
Historians got lazy and stopped keeping track of the year some time in 3201 so you're guess is as good as mine. What about you?
no subject
its 2072 for me. people are still keeping track of time so far.
does your version of earth have orks and elves? i haven't met anyone else who's earth also has the other types of metahumanity yet
no subject
[Nekane's home, New Tokyo, wasn't exempt. What's better then a black hole? A mobile, magical black hole!]
We've got all sorts of shit. I haven't met orks myself but my boss has. And elves are a thing, yeah. Contract signing happy assholes but they can be alright otherwise.
[Just read the fine print. And the finer print.]
no subject
did a dragon get elected president in yours? that's something that happened in mine
no subject
Although that ain't a thing for me. There apparently used to be dragons but they died out during the second world crash. We do have their decedents...kinda lizard people but they're alright.
no subject
i worked with a lizard man recently, actually. i don't think he was related to any dragons, but he was both a good dude and extremely frightening.
no subject
And that sounds like my boss. Not so much the lizard man shit but he was a good guy and fucking frightening. Always good to know there's guys like that out there.
no subject
almost everyone has got one
no subject
What kind of stuff can quirks do?
[It's an interesting name for it, honestly.]
no subject
mostly to teach u to become a hero by using ur quirk
im learning to become a hero myself
no subject
And what kind of powers do you have?
no subject
its rly hard tho!!
and my quirk is acid
i can produce acid from my skin
no subject
I'm guessing it ain't something that hurts you?
no subject
my skin and body is resistant to it
i can control it really well
no subject
Usually back home people have a downside or some shit to their powers. Like someone who can control ice and fire can't regulate their own body temperature anymore or someone who can read minds can't defend their own mind without training.
So it sounds pretty sweet that there isn't a downside.
no subject
ur bodies should be prepared for the quirks u get
at least ours are
sounds like itd be a lot of problems if your body isnt ready for ur abilities
no subject
Guess that's the price the world pays for being as advanced as it is.
no subject
is that why u got powers bc of ghosts??
no subject
I'm from a place called Podunk
you do the math
you don't have any of these weird tattoo things?
no subject
And nope. Héctor does but I ain't gonna make him stay glued to my side all week. Or however long this bullshit lasts. Magically I'm fine but I'm useless in the dark.
[Sever phobias are a bitch.]
no subject
[It's...both true and not.]
do you know how to play gin rummy? I can hang out sometimes. I've only got a little glow tattoo but it's better than nothing right?
actually I wonder if the VR cafes are still working
no subject
[Although he was bad at it, except for cheating.]
Got no idea on the VR cafe, although I try to stay far away from that shit. Bad experience.
no subject
if it still works then playing those should just be like normal daytime
anyway is that a yes or a no on the cards when Héctor's gone sometimes
no subject
And yeah, that's a yes. We can do bets or something for the hell of it.
no subject
pretty sure Héctor thought I had something like that happen to me when I told him I knew him

just fyi my eyes kind of do a thing in the dark sometimes
no subject
Yeah, that's a good point. Still hope they don't get pissy when I'm not interested.
What kind of thing?
[If it's anything like Nekane themself, it wouldn't be much of a bother but they're curious now.]
no subject
it's just how they are but some people think it's freaky
you don't have to worry about it
no subject
sorry that you're having a hard time right now, tho.
no subject
It's fine. Just ain't that great in the dark.
[Ironically they're a powerhouse with their shadow magic right now but....yeah, fuck leaving the house. Damn phobia.]
no subject
It's okay, we're all a little spooked by something. And let's be real, the dark isn't really the most fun either. Have you tried sleeping? Even a little?
no subject
[Nekane never got to meet the guy but they've seen pictures of Felix. John consistently looked happy in said photos.]
I can when a friend of mine is here. Otherwise I'm shit out of luck. Paranoia, yeah.
no subject
[ But Shiho's gone and Ren and Morgana have left and Makoto and Haru have both graduated, Yusuke's at a different school and she's... well. There's Ryuji. Who she's still managing to somehow get better grades than. Hm. ]
I know we don't know each other, but I could come over if that would help.
no subject
I wouldn't mind the company but only if you want to. This ain't gonna kill me, I just have a bad phobia of the dark.
[A really, really bad one.]
no subject
I don't mind at all. Where are you located? I can come over right now, my boyfriend is out doing whatever it is he's been up to anyways.
[ God only knows with Kaiba. He's a busy bee these days, but she loves him regardless. Weirdo. ]
no subject
[They'll concede that much, if going off of what both John and this person have said.]
Sure, I'm over here. [Nekane sends over the address.] Name's Nekane, by the way.
no subject
no subject
You?
no subject
Now, Nekane, tell me some of the things you're interested in so that I might think of a proper distraction.
no subject
Detective work
My husband
Supernatural stuff
Bitching about the dark
[The lase one wouldn't really take their mind off of the dark but complaining makes them feel better.]
no subject
Although in a place such as this, one must wonder what you consider to be "supernatural"? I come from a world where magic and the like are commonplace and may be considered such. That might not be so common where others are from.
no subject
Like controlling fire or something.
