[ 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?
