this feels like something you should probably be more excited about.

[arf]

I've known him for months!
Also he's really scary!

[ He's too scared to get properly excited! ]

[irritated]

yeah he's a sadist.
what are both of our lives? okita from the shinsengumi is a sadist and a boy from the future is telling me this after telling me he wanted to hot dog me.

[arf]

We're also hopping from planet to planet across the universe saving the worlds by hanging out.
It's a weird multiverse!

[irritated]

do you ever just miss being a normal teenager?

[arf]

I hated being a normal teenager, I stopped on purpose way before Lunatia or Avalon.

[irritated]

you're not out there fighting in some war wielding magic. or magical?? that's normal to me.

[arf]

I was possessed by a jiangshi a little while ago!
I showed up to a yakuza battle in a cartoon animal head!
I live with a talking bird!

[irritated]

i believe you about the yakuza crap and the talking bird because why not
but is that first one you pulling leg?

[arf]

No!
I think.
I don't remember it. We were digging through storage and found a talisman, Ban-chan came toward me and then I don't remember until Sakyo was yelling at me and there were some really disappointed girls outside the school gate...?

[irritated]

that's concerning.
what if you're still possessed or something?

[arf]

I'm not! Mucchan sealed demon lord Taichi with a talisman!

[irritated]

but what if it wasn't the right taichi? it's a common twist.
what if you're demon lord taichi who is trying to hotdog me?

[arf]

Apparently I made everyone call me Lord Taichi and referred to everyone as puny humans... U(u_u)U he's not allowed to hot dog you!!

[irritated]

were you possessed by a video game villain or something?

[arf]

A demon lord jiangshi!! I think!
I told you, I don't remember anything. One minute Ban-chan was coming at me with a talisman we found, the next Mucchan was there explaining and Sakyo-nii was chasing me around.

[irritated]

yeah you did but it sounds less like a demon and more like a video game villain. what with the puny human stuff.

but you got me sold. you're not a normal person if you can apparently be possessed by anything.

[arf]

Only because Ban-chan stuck a mysterious talisman on me, it's not like I'm running around trying to hunt ghosts!
I bet you're not normal either though!

[irritated]

i don't run into talismans. closest thing is the black magic club at our school.

[That's not normal, Hikaru.]

[arf]

Normal schools don't have a black magic club or a host club.

[irritated]

yeah the host club is pretty new. but that's because tono is weird. he's not normal.

and maybe the black magic club isn't as normal either but that's still not me.

[arf]

You joined the host club, though. It's like me joining the theater. You wanted more than your day-to-day.

We just ended up with other planets that went way past what we asked for!!

[irritated]

wow you nailed it in one.

[He's kind of impressed even though it was more like they really just wanted people to be able to hang out with but it's still the same sentiment.]

this whole thing is weird but i guess it could be worse. i met you.

[arf]

[ He takes a few moments just to stare and blush at his phone screen. ]

Σ>―(〃°ω°〃)♡→

[irritated]

if this is the same taichi-senpai that i met!!

[Maybe he was too much back there.

Even though he started this conversation with saying he had deepthroated a hot dog.]
