[Event Post]

[maximumogredrive]

You can find some scruffian stooping at your place of work if you work in a supernaturally themed business. This includes SAI or OOPARTS, but isn't limited to that. He can also be found in the DA or local library, pouring over newspaper articles and history books.

He seems like he's trying to make conversation, but is waaaaay too awkward to know how to approach something.

"Yeah, I'm from a parallel universe.

I think?"

He scratches at his chin, then snaps.

"Oh jeez, I forgot to introduce myself! Briar, Cassius. But you can just call me Cas."

[memoryistime]

Uh... sure, "Cas". *yeah that's a name I have heard before... but not in that form...*

You think you're from a parallel universe, then? Where Noriko's your classmate and I'm a middle-schooler or something?

[maximumogredrive]

"Yeah. I go to school with the people who're teachers in this dimension and some of the students here are teachers there.

This place is REAL messed up because of it."

[memoryistime]

...

I'm not dead in that "parallel" dimension, am I? *what.*

[maximumogredrive]

"What? Hell no.

That'd be dumb."

[memoryistime]

Okay, just making sure, since being through the experience myself, I'd feel bad if a middle-school aged version of me went through that, too.

[maximumogredrive]

"Wait, so ya believe me?

Lemme into your weird hideout so I can pretend to read all of your books."

[memoryistime]

It isn't like I haven't heard weirder.

But kid, this isn't really a research place. This is a volunteer organization with a focus on helping folks from the other 12 Dimensions adjust to here and accommodate them, with a mixture in focus on Psychic Duelists.

I dunno if we'd have the materials for you to just "pretend" to read.

[maximumogredrive]

"... experts I can pretend to listen to then?"

[memoryistime]

There might be one or two here, yes.

And at least someone who's willing to try to... figure out accommodating for you?

[maximumogredrive]

"Oh, the school accepted me no issues. Been staying there since I got here. ... but thanks, this place seems pretty cool.

Your dimension. And hideout I guess."

[memoryistime]

Hey, this isn't a hideout. We're a very open and obvious non-profit organization that I joined only because I like the owner of this place well enough.

And gave me something to do after I was forced to relive my teenage years for highschool.

[maximumogredrive]

"... that's a fate worse than death. Who'd ya piss off for that to happen?

Anyway, who should I talk to about this stuff?"

[memoryistime]

Wakahisa, mainly, is the major source of my embarrassment and strife.

And if I had to suggest someone to talk to, it'd be the top dog himself here: Juudai. He'd probably at least try to figure out what's going on here.

[maximumogredrive]

"... wait, THAT Juudai? Like, super good, super hero duelist?

... also that seems to be constant for her across all dimensions. Maybe I should find her here."

[memoryistime]

Prepare yourself if you do.

*waving it off a little* And yes, that "super good, super hero duelist". At least you know he's good at what he does, so it assures you, right?

[maximumogredrive]

"Absolutely! I'm down for hanging out with him.

... think he'll sign a card? Wait, wait, how's my hair?"

[memoryistime]

Okay, okay, let's taper down on things. This is a professional situation, after all.

[maximumogredrive]

"For YOU maybe.

I've never once been professional in my entire life and don't plan to start now."

[memoryistime]

Try.

Try very hard.

[maximumogredrive]

"... Alright, alright."

He musses with his hair and rolls his shoulders

"Calm, cool. Collected. Like a cucumber. Cucumbers are fed to kappas to keep them from eating your soul..."

[memoryistime]

Don't get eaten in your head, kid.

*is barely older than you why're they-- oh wait, they did mention the whole "reliving teenage years" thing. Huh.*

[maximumogredrive]

"Don't worry, I'm punching kappa in my head now, it's set. It's good. I'm cool."

[memoryistime]

Alright, great. Lemme just... try to see about getting you a meeting here.

*Shian goes in to make the contacts...*

[i_like_red]

*The front desk calls up to Juudai's office and places him on the speaker phone so Shian can speak with him.*

Hey, what's up?
