Plasmatio Chuuya PSLs.

[goatsongs]

Want to meet Chuuya after the end of the game? Okay! He's a little busy with two toddlers to fuss over, but he'll always be happy to greet someone he likes. (And if you're not someone he likes, at least make yourself useful picking toys up off the library floor or something.) He's drinking a whole lot less than he used to, and is all-in-all in a much better mental state than he was during the game.

You can also get him to visit, probably not with his sons in tow. Still in a better mental state and sober without having a breakdown!

Also up for AUs like 'what if chuuya did a murder' or 'what if the participants were gods' or whatever, I'm easy.

[He's not letting go of her sooner than he has to.]

You were so brave. You did amazing out there, but you don't have to be brave right now.

[in_a_bottle]

[She sniffs a little.]

They liked it, didn't they? I'm glad... Thanks. I didn't know what to do. I still feel a little scared, but also... relieved. Like I'm okay. Because I'm dead, I couldn't die again... I mean, a third time.

[goatsongs]

They loved it. And you're safe now.

[No reason to fear lightning. Besides all the trauma.]

Want to go sit down?

[in_a_bottle]

Sure. [She pulls back and takes a breath.] Are you doing well?

[goatsongs]

I'm alright. They don't call them the terrible twos for nothing, so I can't say I'm not tired, but...

[As Chuuya leads Ai further into the library, two tiny boys peek out from around a bookshelf.]

[in_a_bottle]

[Ai turns to the kids and smiles and waves like nothing was wrong.]

Hello! Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.

[goatsongs]

[An impressive transition into idol mode.

Fumiya - technically the older of the two, though it's hard to tell - comes out from behind the bookshelf, while his brother ducks his head and hides.] Really?

Fumiya, this is Ai. Ai, this is Fumiya, and his brother being shy is Yoshimasa.

[in_a_bottle]

[She nods and bows politely.]

It's nice to see you! Actually, they call me Number 3 nowadays where I'm from, but the rules don't apply over here, so Ai is fine.

[goatsongs]

Number three is a dumb name.

[Kids. What can you do. Fumiya's still gonna do a tiny bow though.]

[in_a_bottle]

Believe me, I know. It wasn't my idea to number us. [But.] How are you finding this place?

[goatsongs]

It's big.

[Hard to tell if that's positive or negative.

An addition from Yoshimasa, still hidnig behind the books:] I like it!

[in_a_bottle]

It is a nice library. Chuuya-san's got a lot of coworkers here, right? That has to be... well, interesting, anyway. There's not a dull moment at the manor, and there are only seven of us.

[goatsongs]

[Yoshimasa:] They're loud sometimes.

Yeah, I know. I can get them to try to behave around you guys.

[in_a_bottle]

Not used to kids, I guess.

[goatsongs]

Only kids who are actually just adults who wrote kids' books.

[Chuuya still treats them like kids, but he at least recognizes the difference.]

[in_a_bottle]

How does that even work?

[goatsongs]

[Fumiya:] Magic.

What he said.

[in_a_bottle]

What is it with the people who bring us here and no proper explanations? I mean, really. [She does laugh a little, though.] I'm glad you're adjusting well. It is a little hard waking up in the future.

[goatsongs]

I think it's easier because they're so young. Everything's confusing anyway.

[Yoshimasa has gathered the courage to come out from behind the bookshelf.]

[in_a_bottle]

I guess so.

[Ai crouches down and gives a little wave.]

[goatsongs]

You're pretty. [Yoshimasa. Chuuya nods in agreement.]

[in_a_bottle]

That's nice of you. [She smiles a little.] I'm not always, but that's a secret, okay?

[goatsongs]

Not pretty... you're ugly?

[Fumiya, who clearly doesn't know you shouldn't call girls ugly yet. Chuuya rubs the back of his neck.]

Girls get mad if you say that.

[in_a_bottle]

[She groans, but she can't stay too mad.]

Sometimes. But no one's supposed to know that, okay?

[goatsongs]

[They nod seriously and hold fingers to their lips. A secret!!]
