-ving to wake up with all those eyes staring at me! Sheesh. My heart skipped a beat ...

[ Oh, it's ... recording.

He straightens up, one hand rubbing at the back of his head in a sense of discomfort. ]

Ahh. Hello, this is Kotetsu. I'm still trying to get over being told my life was nothing but fiction or ....something! I mean- what's up with that! I tried to explain to them how ridiculous that is, and I'm very much real! Tch, I don't get it at all.

[ He stares rather miserably at the screen, and a mutter followed that’s not as subtle as he thinks it is. ]

... I don't even know who I'm talking to here.

Uh. Hello?

... Bunny, can you hear me?

[ ooc; kinda backdated because I am slow and lame. ]

bunny?

[tiiger]

My partner. [ A pause. ] Ahh, well, that's not really his name. It's kinda a thing I do. Perhaps you heard of the name Barnaby Brooks Jr. instead?

[riseup]

oh, so not an actual bunny.

[riseup]

sorry, i have not seen anyone with that name.
but there have been a lot of new people lately!
maybe he's around somewhere.

[tiiger]

No, I ... wouldn't talk to a real bunny. That's just weird ...

[tiiger]

Ah, well- thanks for the input anyway. Have you been here for long?

[riseup]

it's been over a year now, which is a pretty long time.
i guess i can answer any questions you have!
the police are good about that too.
i am john, by the way.

[tiiger]

Nice to meet you, John. [ He smiled. ]

Man, I'm sorry, but I'm really confused right now. Kidnapping aside, what do they mean by 'I am real now'? I don't get it.

[riseup]

nice to meet you too!

[riseup]

honestly?
i think you would have trouble finding someone who totally believes that their life before this was fake.

[tiiger]

I'm kinda surprised you lasted a year. Didn't you manage to find a way out?

[riseup]

yeah, about that...
there isn't one.

[riseup]

they kind of forget to tell you that part.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Yes, that particular revelation is hard to accept, for most people.

The name's Koizumi Itsuki. It's a pleasure.

So where are you from, Kotetsu?

[tiiger]

Man, it's not a matter of acceptance. It's just absolutely ridiculous and doesn't really justify them kidnapping people!

Oh, I'm from Sternbild City. Ever heard of it?

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

I've seen weirder things back home.

No, I am afraid I have not. I am from Japan.
