Text

[SO APPARENTLY THESE NOTEBOOKS SEND OUT MESSAGES...? Like transmissions on Gauntlets...? That was a close call, he almost used this as a diary. Uh, not that anyone needed to know that.]

Good day. [There’s an awkward pause before the next words.] My name is Jonathan. I’ve arrived in this place rather suddenly, and I’m not quite sure what I’m supposed to do.

[The presses against the paper gets a bit softer.] I don’t want to bother anyone, but if it’s not too troublesome… has anyone heard of anyone called a Samurai? Or the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado? Has anyone heard of the archangels. I assume this… isn’t Heaven?

I’m sorry for being so forward, but any help could be appreciated, even if the answer is null. [Another pause.] Oh, one last thing- has anyone else arrived here… postmortem?

Action

[If anyone goes outside on the streets of Märchen, they might spot someone very pointedly trying to avoid the pixies. He thinks he's being subtle, but really he's not.

He's holding a book with the name 'Hansel' engraved on it. He also has a new-found fear of sweets, but you can't really tell that from his face. Care to approach?]

Comments

[jonathandammit]

No. I don't think I am.

[He's confused too.] Are we from... different times? [He should really be more surprised, but 1. he's already dead and all so he shouldn't expect things to go how he expects them to 2. Jonathan's already learned, from escapades in Tokyo, that things don't go as they should. He doesn't like it, but...]

How is your time like? [PLEASE DON'T BE IN RUINS...]

[kutanagi]

( she's getting confused too. )

I would think so? I'm from the Heisei period. That's the current era in Japan.

How ( well, she's not really sure how to describe it. ) It's a lot different. No wars, lots of buildings and cars, people going to school or work.

[jonathandammit]

[...School and work... buildings and cars, like Tokyo...? Yes, it sounds like Tokyo and the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado merged together in a way...

...That's... okay. And good. No wars, so it's not a world of Chaos- doesn't sound exactly like the worlds the Archangels would want, with the cars and buildings, but he didn't really understand them, anyway.] That sounds good. Thank you.

[kutanagi]

( that sounds good? then again, if he's from 1492, then that's p much chaos all over the place. )

You're welcome. There might be some books about Japanese history in the library, if you're interested.

[jonathandammit]

Thank you, again. You've helped me quite a fair bit.

[NOW IMAGINE HIS SURPRISE WHEN HE REALIZES THEY'RE NOT ONLY FROM DIFFERENT TIMES...]

[kutanagi]

Sure. I hope you find what you're looking for exactly.

[jonathandammit]

[It comes a while later, but in a hurry.]

Oh, I almost forgot! What's your name? [Especially after they've been so patient, he can't just leave them anonymous and forget about it.]

[kutanagi]

It's Yui. Yui Kusanagi.

Jonathan, right?

( you have a v western name for someone who comes from the sengoku era. missionary, maybe? )

[jonathandammit]

Understood. Yes, it is.

[HE OWES YOU NOW AND HE'LL PAY BACK somehow some day... maybe by just being friends...] Thank you again!
