The fog... I wonder what the cause is. Where's it coming from? There's nothing natural at all about it.

At least not where I'm from.

They don't have fog where you come from?

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

[Ah, he remembers you.] There's fog at my--our home world, but definitely not any kind that drives people crazy.

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

....... Oh, yeah, you're the American guy! Now I remember.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

[It'd be evident in his voice that he smiles.] And you're from, uh, Osaka, Japan right?

How are you? ...I don't think we know each other's names yet. I'm Jake.

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

I'm Osaka! Well, my name's Ayumu Kasuga, but everybody calls me Osaka.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Osaka would be easier for me to remember.

[It'd be easier to pronounce too.]

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what everybody else says too. Yukari-sensei even called me that on my transcript, I think.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Your school teacher? [To what little he knows about Japan, he knew that the term sensei meant teacher basically for all teachers, not just the martial arts kind.]

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

Yep! She was my homeroom teacher, but then I graduated.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

So, what was next before you were, uh, brought here?

I mean, you didn't come here willingly either right?

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, no. I was at Magical Land with my friends and I got lost. We all just got accepted to university, so we were celebratin'.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear you were dragged here while in the middle of a good time.

In America, I was about to go ride a bus to my school.

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

Whoa, you take a bus?

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. They're public school buses that are yellow. The seats aren't as comfortable like city buses, but at least you don't have to pay the driver any money.

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

Wow... a yellow bus! Man, imagine riding one of those every day! Everybody would be like, "Hey, those kids are goin' to school!"

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

[Jake lightly laughs, as there a ring of amusement is there in his voice.]

Yeah. That happens around some grown ups, but they're so used to seeing them they say it with a little less enthusiasm. Unless they happen to be excited parents.

How did you get to school?

[fuhgottaboutit.livejournal.com]

I just walked, mostly. My house is pretty close.

[jakethetigerboy.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. That's cool.
