❝Greetings. You have reached Kamisato Ayato, however, I seem to be occupied currently. Leave a message and if it is important I'll get back to you.❞

Indeed. To explain further, they are twins who are searching for the other. From what I understand, their journey is taking them country to country to try and track the other down.

{ he frowns. }

Though I couldn't say if a single choice would say who was where between them.

[localgrandma]

Sometimes but more often than not, they underestimate my age. They simply do not believe me when I am over 100 years old.

They should know how rude it is!

[acquirement]

Age is merely a number, is it not? If a person has lived 50 or 100 years, it's what they've done with those years that count.

[localgrandma]

Indeed and yet, some just do not understand.

It's enough to make me wonder if I should give a lesson on manners!

[As she shakes her cane and tells kid to get off her lawn.]

[acquirement]

Etiquette and manners likely differ country to country, though it would be interesting to see how that is the case.

[localgrandma]

Or at least learn the basics of knowing how to say please and thank you. I think that should be enough to start.

[acquirement]

I certainly can agree with the sentiment. It's good practice to be polite, especially when engaging with others.

[localgrandma]

Although, how begs the question if anyone would be interested. I suppose most people wouldn't like to have a lesson taught about this.

[acquirement]

Most people don't like to be told they have no manners, no.

[localgrandma]

And thus, I will have to try to figure something else out.

Unless you can find something that makes teaching such a thing more enjoyable.

[acquirement]

I'm not a teacher myself, so I'm afraid that is something I'd have difficult with.

[godofdust]

Of course not, that was taking a more simple view of things that what is likely the reality.

[But this has distracted her from the work she brought over to keep him company with. Guizhong leans back on her hands and watches the line of the horizon.]

How interesting. Lumine and Aether, you said? Are they both here?

[acquirement]

They're both here, yes. Lumine has been here as long as I have, if not longer. Aether arrived around a month or so after.

{ he'll keep talking, but he does start to apply the paint on the canvas now, eyeing the landscape in front of himself to try and copy its likeness. }

[localgrandma]

Then would you like to be my student in helping me find ways to make it more interesting?

[unknowntodeath]

Indeed. Foraging is another skill that would be important. Especially figuring out what even is edible.

finish up?

[godofdust]

Hmm, I see. I think I've spoken to Lumine already.

[So that may give her something to go on should she decide this is interesting enough to follow up. In the meantime, while Ayato gets to his painting, Guizhong settles herself forwards and begins to pore over a half-finished sketch.

It's nice to have the company.]

[acquirement]

Are you asking me to be a test subject?

[acquirement]

I suppose normally people would refer to books or texts regarding what is safe to eat?

[localgrandma]

Yes but if you do not wish to be one, then I will ask no more.

[acquirement]

I suppose we can have a trial run, and if I don't deem it too uncomfortable we can continue.

[localgrandma]

Then let's give it a try and we shall see how it goes.

But I shall not leave you disappointed as I do have a reputation to keep.

[unknowntodeath]

Yes. But I've found that the books are out of date, considering the changes that have happened due to the Darkness. So it might be time to renew those a little.

[acquirement]

Books generally are, since they take time to write and print, by the time the news is out to the public it is dated.

voice; un: jean

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean's too excited to text so Ayato gets a voice message instead.]

Ayato, I met another person from our world today. It's Marco. He's actually here and... alive.

cont voice

[acquirement]

{ he barely manages to greet jean in return before he's continuing on, and he's glad for the other with what he's said of his friend before. }

I'm glad to hear it. It... hasn't been too difficult for him to process, has it?
