[Ken's little tired from his nightmare from last night. Logically, spending a night in a strange room in a strange place would do that to him...probably. However, that's not what he's really bothered by it much, he's just dragging his feet a little more on his way to class.]

I thought I was done with school.

[He smiles and thinks Chie of a nice person. Kind of reminds him of Junpei in a way.]

It would be nice if I was.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

[ Scratches the back of her head. ]

It'd be nice for all of us, huh? I'm Chie Satonaka. Sorry if I weirded you out or anything...

[busies.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Satonaka, I'm Ken Amada.

[a small bow.]

You didn't weird me out at all. I was a little worried that I might have gone to the wrong place, though.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, too! Oh, you're a new student? How're you holding up so far?

[busies.livejournal.com]

I'm okay... The first night was a little rough, I guess.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Ugh... Even you? It's been going on for a week!

[busies.livejournal.com]

Huh? So everyone here really is having rough nights?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Yeah; it's strange. There was no warning for it, and there hasn't been an explanation why...

[busies.livejournal.com]

That is strange... Really can't be a big coincidence, can it?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Nope. What's really getting me is the fact that no one seems to want to give an explanation for it.

[busies.livejournal.com]

It'd be a little hard to explain how everyone is having nightmares though, wouldn't it?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

I guess. I just have this feeling... Maybe it has something to do with the Time Compression we heard about?

[busies.livejournal.com]

"Time Compression"?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

You don't know?

[busies.livejournal.com]

I heard some people talking about it but no one ever really explained it.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Okay, let's see... [ Tries to reboot her brain from its low battery. ]

There was this Sorceress that... wanted to "compress time" to win this war. She failed, but apparently we're experiencing the side effects? It sounds weird, I know, but that's what they told us.

[busies.livejournal.com]

That's really far-fetched, but it has to be true since we're all here. If the Time Compression has something to do with it, then would there be anything they could do?

Something like that sounds complicated.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Maybe. They said there're researchers already on it. [ Yawns. ]

[busies.livejournal.com]

All we can do now is tough it out.

[tries not to yawn as well but fails]

[charioting.livejournal.com]

[ Grimaces. ] Yeah... Wish it'd hurry up though.

[busies.livejournal.com]

At least the nightmares are just nightmares and not real.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

[ Winces as she remembers her recent nightmare. Shivers. ] Y-Yeah...

[busies.livejournal.com]

[Ken looks around a bit; he wants to pry but dreams are private matters.] ... So how long have you been here in this place, miss Satonaka?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

About... oh... [ Give her a moment. ] Three... two months? Around that time. Wow, it's been a while! [ Says this to herself. ]

[busies.livejournal.com]

So then, you must be familiar with where everything is.
