[ uhhhh UHHH THAT'S A... REALLY... GOOD QUESTION... ]

Nahh, if they were, they'd either be human shaped or coffins in the Dark Hour.

[liven]

Many hours are dark. Which one do you refer to?

[ the fuck is your world, child. tables that eat people and hours that are dark??? ]

[slugout]

The secret one at midnight most people don't know about 'cause they get turned into coffins for it.

[ YEAH. yeeaaah. ]

[liven]

We do not have that where I am from.

[ SHIJIMA IS PRETTY SURE SHE WOULD HAVE NOTICED SUCH A THING. She's a cat, she stays up late. ]

[slugout]

You don't know that for sure! Are there any mysterious cases of people just being normal one day and then the next up and like, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and not wanting to do anything but just hanging around?

'Cause that's what happens when a Shadow eats their soul.

[ THE CORRECTNESS OF THIS ENTIRE CONVERSATION IS DUBIOUS BECAUSE IT'S COMING FROM JUNPEI, but you get the gist. ]

[liven]

I do. I would have noticed such an hour, or such occurrences.

[ THEREFORE, YOU ARE FROM SOMEWHERE WEIRD AND ELSEWHERE. ]

Are you certain these people are not just teenagers? I have observed that human teenagers have days where they do not want to do anything but hang around quite often.

[ like is this really something we're worried about here ]

[slugout]

It can happen to anybody! Old ladies, businessmen, mall crawlers, punks...

[liven]

Hm. Your old ladies aren't as sturdy as granny Shijima. I would eat the shadow-thing first.

[ she still has no idea what his name is and has no intention of asking these two are great at conversations ]

[slugout]

Please, if you're not awake during the Dark Hour, there's nothing you can do. 'S why my friends and I are here, though, so don't worry.

[ don't worry even though we all got kidnapped and he was... trying to save... the world... just before this... hahaha..... maybe this place is like a sub dark hour? it would make sense, and the decor is tartarus-y enough. ]

[liven]

Child, I do not need your protection. And I've told you, there is no such hour in my home.

[ He's really dense, isn't he. OH WELL... ]

[slugout]

Hey, my name's not child, grandma!

[ junpei. please. that won't help. ]

And you don't know what's here and what's not.

[ x( ]

[liven]

Oh? What is it, then? And I know what is in my own world very well, little boy.

[ she guesses it could be a thing here but somehow doubts it......... ]

[slugout]

Junpei. Junpei Iori!

[ ... ]

Wait, so you're from here?

[liven]

Shijima Kurookano.

[ Junpei-kun, huh. ]

No. I am from elsewhere. But a place with no Dark Hour.

[slugout]

Shijima-baachan...

[ that is a very japanese name for a europe looking place. ]

But if you're from Japan...?

[liven]

And who said it had to be the same Japan? Surely you do not think "such a thing is impossible", Junpei-kun. [ You little twerp ] Look around you.

[slugout]

Well, no, but Tartarus is pretty impossible and looks a lot like this sometimes!

[ >:I ok whatever you have a point! he doesn't care. ]

[liven]

Well, I suppose we shall see. For the time being, it seems we are on the same side of someone else's war.

[ ...How much Shijima intends to help is really debatable, without anyone she knows to sort of cajole her along, but hey. Maybe she'll decide to help out. ]

[slugout]

[ junpei scowls, rubbing at the back of his head, his hat bobbing a little with the motion. ]

Man, I got enough serious stuff goin' on already...

[ hmmm. is it just him here? what about everyone else... is the nyx fight... delayed or... what. ]

[liven]

Don't we all?

[ But then, she'd just finished remembering why she couldn't do what she'd wanted to do. ...The wish hasn't changed, but it's fractured, now. Weakened, because she made that promise to Akatsuki, and Shijima remembers it.

What a silly, stupid thing. And yet they'll keep their word. Even though it's painful. ]

I don't imagine that anyone here will tell you they had nothing to do at home.
