[ sometime on saturday while we are all still blissfully unaware that the murder cult thing is legit, todomatsu is poking at some of the terrible, bland food in the refectory. he reeeeeally doesn't trust this stuff, but he's also hungry as fuck, so. yolo, he guesses, even though that doesn't have much meaning for him personally!

he hasn't been paying nearly as much attention to the guys' profiles as he has to the girls', but ichiban has both a distinctive appearance and an easy-to-remember name, not to mention that whole "being the main character" thing. so when he sees him, he's actually able to greet him by name without having to sneak a peek at the pictures of the profiles on his phone like he has with a few others. ]

Ah— Kasuga-san, right?

[ time to make a good first impression and win this guy over for future use!!! ]

[ ichiban is already picking away at whatever's available, not really looking like he's all that bothered by the tastelessness. food is food! ]

—Huh? Oh, yeah, that's me. [ he rubs the back of his neck, laughing weakly... ] Sorry, I didn't really get the chance to go over all the postings... uh, Matsu...da?

[ he's trying ]

Haha, almost! It's Matsuno. Matsuno Todomatsu.

Ah, right, my bad! Won't happen again, Matsuno-san, heh.

[ he does look a lil bashful... ]

Feelin' hungry? Whatever they've got here isn't the greatest, but it won't kill you.

[ shakes his head ]

Don't worry about it.

[ looks down at the food........ ]

Are you sure about that...?

I mean... you're gonna have to eat something eventually, right? I'd rather take my chances with cursed cult food than starve to death.

Yeah... though honestly I'm kind of tempted to just try fishing in the stream and see if there's anything edible in there.

Good luck making leech stew, dude.

[ though, now that he's able to get a proper look at totty... he just kinda... stares at him for a bit... ]

Uggghhh. I'm hoping the stream has fewer leeches than the swamp, at least...

[ ... ]

What's up?

[ he can't have anything on his face yet ]

Do I... know you from somewhere?

[ oh no ]

...I don't think so?

Huh... weird. Maybe you just have one of those faces, I guess, hehe. Plus, Matsuno isn't that uncommon of a name.

But just to be sure—you wouldn't happen to be from either Kamurocho or Ijincho, would you?

Haha, I do get that sometimes...

[ one of those six identical fucking faces ]

Nope. I'm... not sure where those are, actually.

Huh, really? Kamurocho's in the heart of Tokyo, and Ijincho is in Yokohama. Though, I guess if you're not really about the nightlife scene, I can kinda see you not having a reason to go to either.

[ my legally distinct city renames... ]

Oh, I think I'd know the one in Tokyo, at least? Where is this, exactly?
