[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.

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.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Yup! If you need your help around the place, you can count on me.

[busies.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[pauses for a moment]

What is it like where you're from, miss Satonaka?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Huh? Uh... [ Didn't expect that. She hasn't had many questions about her hometown. ]

It's... quaint. Calm and pretty. I don't live in the city, y'see. It's a place called Inaba. There was a bit of a shakedown in the town, but... [ And at this, her lips stretch into a proud smile, her brown eyes glinting a bit brighter. ]

It's safe now. Heck, I think it might be better than ever!

[busies.livejournal.com]

Inaba...

[Ken thinks back to where he's heard that. Oh...right. Temporarily ignoring the fact that she's from the same "world" as him.]

I remember my mom telling me about the hot springs there once. They're suppose to be really nice, right?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

[ Pauses. Hold it, wait, wait, wait... She notices that fact. ]

... does that mean you're from the same world as I am?

[busies.livejournal.com]

[OH. Ken's catching onto this quickly now too.]

... Is there a place known as Iwatodai where you're from?

[charioting.livejournal.com]

I went to Iwatodai on a school trip!

[busies.livejournal.com]

Really...? [Why would anyone want to take a school trip to Iwatodai...]

So, then, I guess we're from the same world.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Huh... [ That... really shouldn't be a surprise. She knows Souji and Naoto and Rise were here that were technically from this very same world, but something about this encounter with Ken... Urgh, her already tired head begins to throb at the thought. Just something. Chie feels that there's something about this meeting... She'll just file it away for now. ]

Small world, right?

[busies.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'd never would have thought I'd meet someone from Inaba here.

[Ken just kind of stares at Chie for a while. Was it really just one big coincidence that she ended up being from the same place as him? Do those things even happen? Probably not, but it's pointless dwelling on it now.]

What did you do when you went to Iwatodai? It seems like a weird place for a school trip.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Hung out with my friends. Our school decided to try this little outreach journey... when all we did was sat in this class in Gekkoukan High getting a lecture.

[ Which, she remembers, was the legend about Izanagi and Izanami. Funny how that ties in with her own personal encounter with those two deities... ]

[busies.livejournal.com]

Oh, well I've been told that miss Kirijo's speeches are really good. I remember one of my upperclassman telling me how the principle would ramble so he didn't look so bad.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

[ Grins. ] He did do that!

[busies.livejournal.com]

I hope he's over it when I go there.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

Oooh... I know I wasn't there for long, but Gekkoukan High seems like a pretty good school! Good luck getting and being there.

[busies.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[charioting.livejournal.com]

[ Yawns. Again. ]

Sheesh... 'm sorry about this. I'm not usually this tired...
