hello.

i have several questions for the outsider populace and i require truthful answers.

1. what are your abilities in battle?
2. what is your estimation of your skill with your own abilities?
3. who are you?
4. what was your proudest moment?
5. what was your weakest?

answer as you see fit. i’m not your boss.

[ this isn’t how one goes about making work acquaintances but it’s direct, it’s simple, and choso can’t be bothered to care if it meets industry standard. ]

To be honest, I was thinking this place might be like that for me too
I tried to do something that I thought was good for everybody, but in reality I was being selfish.
I was forcing everyone to do what I wanted because I couldn't deal with how things actually were.

I killed someone too. We were in a place where they could be resurrected, but
It's not like anyone can just forget that I did that. I definitely won't.

[ Especially not after blowing someone's brains out, literally. ]

[gimu]

you have done a lot of thinking on this. i see.

it isn't easy to forget. i don't think we're meant to.
what will you do about it now that you are here?

[picky]

I don't know if I really was brought here as a punishment
But I want to learn how to accept things I can't really control.
Being brought here kind of forces me to deal with that


I think this place takes it to a crazy extreme though

[gimu]

if we are here as punishments, then it means the others have come here by penalty as well.
i would rather think it random chance: LILITH reaching blindly into the ether. [ random chance meant yuji wasn't here as punishment, that all these souls weren't here to suffer for their crimes. ]

take solace in knowing we are here to suffer together, at the very least.

1/2

[picky]

Well
I want to, but...

2/2

[picky]

It doesn't feel right to take solace in anyone's suffering either...
I don't really know anyone here

[gimu]

not in the suffering, but the companionship of commiseration.

hello marcille, i am choso. if you wish, i can introduce you to my little brother and then you will know two of us at least.

[picky]

[ 🥺 ]

It's nice to meet you, Choso.
Your little brother is here too? What's his name?

[gimu]

itadori yuji! he is a warrior of great power and humble heart!

[ !!! ]

[picky]

[ that's quite a description... but she likes choso now, so she'll trust that he's being honest. ]

Oh I see! I haven't met him before, I don't think.
I'm not doing much right now, so I can meet you guys any time today if you want! Just let me know
I'm in Redemption. What about you two?

[gimu]

[ it’s small, just a flicker of it: a warm little kernel nestled between choso’s organs like a grain of sand on a clam’s tongue, radiating slowly outward into the cold of his meat.

could this be… the start of an acquaintanceship? ]

i am with Revelation, but yuji is with Everlight.
have you been to the cafeteria? it is a good meeting place. [ he’s read somewhere that food is a good icebreaker in social encounters. the kaiju sushi may assist. ]

[picky]

I have! I was there on my first day
The food there is interesting... But a lot of it isn't so bad?
I can meet you there for sure!
One more thing
Did you guys get chocolate from LILITH too?

[gimu]

the miso is ok. [ the one time he Looked at it without eating it. ]

yes. so much. too much. do you want some chocolate too?

[picky]

I'll take some if you take some of mine!
I know they said we need to give it away or we'll be punished somehow, but receiving it should be fine, I think.
Let me know when I should meet you two! If your brother's okay with it.

[gimu]

deal.
and why not now? i'm nearby and yuji's fast on his feet.

[picky]

Oh, now??
Give me ten minutes! I'll be there!
What do you look like? So I can find you!

[gimu]

that's fine.
look for pigtails [ ??? ]

[picky]

[ a criminal with pigtails.... ]

Alright, pigtails.
I'll see you soon!
