[ It's so strange to be able to type again. After literally years of having to handwrite written messages, it's odd to use a phone again. It's perhaps that more than anything which sees him putting up this post onto the social media network. It's form a "newbie" and it might be out of place with the growing dark climate with the flickering lights and rotting foot, but it's something he throws out all the same.

And it's...! ]

Soooo!! Does anyone know any god date spots in the castle? Anyone already sailing the seas of romance before now, or is the stark soldiery we've been pushed towards put a quash on romance in the name of stoic friendship? Let's hear those stories, people! Crushes, illicit affairs, pining, maybe even marriage?! You can trust your tales to the Love Hunter Masa.

O o o r r r . . .

How about a game? ♥ We could do truth or dare if you like but while we're all a little hungry, how about word association! I'll even start us off:

Third Party.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Not really! Going solo seems pretty fatal while I'm still getting used to things.

so get a bathroom buddy.
make a dating app so people who don't care don't have to see.

Eeeeh, this is impossible to ignore?! I'm sorry about my star power!! I didn't mean to make you feel bad, Bathroom-san!

[What...is a bathroom san. What. What is going on here.]

yeah i keep getting the phone dings for it. any idea how i turn it off?

Oh.

[ It might be harder to tell with text, but he does shift his tone here, and, ]

Sorry about that man, the last network I was on didn't ping you unless you got a privated thing. I'm sure there's a mute button for a post though, I'll look. You do too.

i'm new here, i'm still figuring this stuff out.
what's a bathroom san?

Same. But hey, got any stories while you're here? Or maybe we could do the game!

I didn't know your name and you said to find a bathroom buddy, so I went with using that as a name.

[ The joke sounds stupid when you put it that way. ]

it's tim.
and no. i don't really do love stuff.

[Zero interest, just in general. His eyes rove lazily back to the word association game this guy is putting out in the open. Third party. Huh.]

neutrality.

Eeeh, never ever? No one caught your eye, or just not your thing?

[ Haha, he's playing?! Excellent, he claps his hands together, and, ]

The World.

i don't swing that way. or any way. i don't swing at all.

[A pretty succinct way of explaining it, he thinks.]

pointless.

Wow, sounds depressing.

[ Did he mean his perspective on romance, or calling the world pointless? ... Honestly, both. Maybe even more the latter than the former, even if he has some understanding of entropy ]

Rogues

gee, thanks.

[He doesn't experience romantic attraction, that's all. Doesn't make him broken. No, actually, it's his brain that makes him broken. Get it right. Ha-ha.]

dungeons and dragons?

[ Maybe that was a little rude, admittedly. ... No it was totally rude. He hums a little, and, ]

So, would you be my bathroom buddy?

King's Game.

no.

checkers.

[One thing Tim has never been is one to beat around the bush, at least.]

Aw man, and here I was hoping to do the joint bathroom thing!

Shogi.

what the hell is a shogi

[Can't play word association if you don't recognize the word, sorry. It's not like his education was all that great back at home.]

[ Haaah. But then, the guy did say his name was "Tim" so maybe it's not unexpected all things considered. And so after frowning a little at a not at all distant memory, Masaomi types back, ]

It's a Japanese board game which is pretty similar to chess all things considered. A friend of mine loves it.

oh.

[A man of many words, Tim is.]

defeat.

Yeah it's not bad.

Zompania.

[Ah geez, again? Tim's feeling dumber by the second.]

gonna have to explain that one too.

[ To be fair to him, that one, ]

There's no way you could know it - it's a place that me and mine suffered a terrible defeat in the last world I was in - one so bad that we needed to go back in time to make it less bad.

isn't that kind of cheating?

If you say so I'll agree that it is and stick away from personal things! But to me, if it's word association, the "winning" is in getting to know the other person. So Tim-san gets to know Masaomi and Masaomi gets to know Tim-san, so it's still a win even if you need to get something explained or you're confused why there would be the association.

Buuuut I'd get where that might not be ideal too! So if it's not, we'll keep it generic!

No harms here, my man.

[Man this socializing thing is brutal. How do people do it?]

oh ok. sorry, i've never really done this before.

you keep saying that san thing. what is that.

No need to be sorry.

A cultural thing! I'm Masaomi Kida, and I'm what you'd call the impetuous youth of Tokyo-!

[ Even if he's twenty now. halfway to twenty-one. But most of that was in another world so shhh let him have his moment. In truth, it still exists even after legions of people ask him about it because of his desire to keep some roots. ]

And in Japan, you'd add little honorifics to someone's name to express familiarity or unfamiliarity, as as matter of respect. So, Tim-san. It's more or less Mr. Tim.
