[ After being shown the observatory and being told of the events as well as the objectives he must do, Izumo moves out to the hall, leans on the wall next to a window showing the infinite expanse of space, and gets out the handy-dandy tablet given to him. A few minutes of fiddling with it, he manages to make it work (it's almost similar to the ones back home), and decides to look through the network.

Hmm. ]

[ he almost wanted to let totsuka know, but. come on, totsuka? really? he doesn't believe the guy's breathing and talking until he sees for himself. ]

Looks like you're all doing fine down there. How's things?

( text, public. )

Space. Didn't think this would actually happen, especially to me. Never really dreamt of becoming an astronaut when I was younger.

[ ... ]

Ah, but we're all here for a very important cause, isn't it? Guess it's time for introductions. Name's Kusanagi, I'm sure it's a pleasure to meet any of you fine people.

Huh, why?! We did pretty good, didn't we? We haven't starved! And the only advice for when you come down... watch out for any random flying snowballs?

[ hehehehe... ]

[ex_longanimity327]

[ ........................ you're nineteen, act like one. ]

Yata. [ don't make him actually spank you with your ass exposed to the elements ] I meant it: is there anything, aside from that the fact you're all plannin' to pelt me with snowballs, that I need to know?

[battering]

Aah, Kusanagi-san, when you say it like that it takes all the fun out of it... there's nothing! We haven't been down here that long ourselves.

[battering]

Oh, wait, there's a girl staying with us! That count?

[ex_longanimity327]

I see, well then—

[ex_longanimity327]

[ did Yata just said a girl's with them? ] A girl?

[ex_longanimity327]

[ that's.... that's really interesting. ]

So you finally got a girl, eh? Chitose would be so proud.

[battering]

[ oh my god ]

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!!

[battering]

We're just... friends! Number one friends!

[ex_longanimity327]

[ this is the sound of the Devil laughing at you, Yata ]

[ex_longanimity327]

—Sorry, sorry. [ you are so cute, Yata :( ] Number one friends, huh...?

[battering]

Don't laugh!

[ huffffffs :( ]

But yeah! She was the first friend I made here, and my first friend that's a girl, so... don't do or say anything weird, okay?!

[ex_longanimity327]

[ what is he, Chitose??? ]

Do ya really think of me that lowly, Yata-chan? I'm hurt.

[battering]

[ close enough to it, honestly. ]

That's not it! I just don't want a repeat of what Totsuka-san did!

[ex_longanimity327]

[ oh, please, Chitose is an Izumo copycat ]

Yeah? What did he do?

[battering]

... He sent her pictures of [ mumble mumble mumble. ]

[ex_longanimity327]

Can't hear you, Yata, you better speak louder.

[ all he can hear is Ludacris Yata not talking. ]

--pictures of me wearing cat ears!!

[ex_longanimity327]

[ ....................... Cat ears? ]

[ex_longanimity327]

[ processing information in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ]

[ex_longanimity327]

[ nope, he's snickering. ]

What's wrong with 'em?

[battering]

It's embarrassing for her to see 'em!!

[battering]

... the ears are kinda cool though, Mikoto-san wore some too... [ which is the ONLY REASON why they were cool in the first place. ]

[ex_longanimity327]

[ the image of Mikoto wearing cat ears... ] Lion ears, I'm guessin'.

[battering]

Of course! You should definitely wear some too, Kusanagi-san.
