...so we're stuck here huh.

[ordimame]

. . . seems like it. Not ideal!

[. . .]

Are you worried about your boss back home?

[rugpull]

Worried about my grandmother. My boss....Jack'll pick up my slack hopefully...though he won't be as good as me at gettin' him where he has t'be...

[ordimame]

[mmm. . .]

We might be stuck here for now, but we'll find a way to send you back home before you know it. Okay?

[rugpull]

Yeh....she'll probably hafta pick up more work until I get back but...she's a tough broad. She can handle anything...

[ordimame]

[hah]

It sounds like you really care about her.

[rugpull]

Well, she's all I got and she gave everything t'raise me for my ma.

[ordimame]

[. . .]

What happened to your mom?

[rugpull]

Died in childbirth.

I wouldn't give m'name anyway in this kinda situation. But that aside--m'name is only thing she could give me besides m'life. I don't want it taken.

Maybe it helps her find me when she's lookin' down on me from the stars.

[ordimame]

[. . . . . . . .]

[very soft]

Yeah. I bet it does.

. . . I'm sure she appreciates you safeguarding it for her, too.

[rugpull]

...gonna miss her birthday if m'stuck here too long. But I guess she'll forgive me on account of the kidnappin'.

[ordimame]

When is it? I doubt we'll still be here, but if we are, we'll celebrate. Okay?

[very serious about this]

[rugpull]

Got about a month! So that's our time limit!

[ordimame]

Then I'll mark my calendar.

[a beat]

In spirit. I don't have an actual calendar.

[rugpull]

Don't we get notebooks and planners.

[ordimame]

[me as the mod: did I give people notebooks and planners??]

I haven't seen any? Other than the one we had back in that room that was already written in.

[rugpull]

...do ya think we could communicate with anzen.

[ordimame]

[. . . . .]






I mean. Sure. Maybe?

[man who never even thought of that possibility]

[rugpull]

Can at least leave 'em notes. ...is anzen a boy name or girl name?

[ordimame]

What, "anzen?" Actually, it's not a name at all.

[his hand dips into his pocket as he pulls out his cute, sky blue with yellow accents omamori. he dangles it from his fingers, one brow raised]

It's usually written on omamori-- that's the little charm you tried to choke me with, by the way-- which are meant to give the bearer good fortune of some kind.

"Anzen" is "safety." Though it's usually paired with something else. . . like "traffic safety."

[rugpull]

Oh that ain't a word I know....so we're bein' blessed with safety?

[ordimame]

[lifting his charm up a bit, studying it against the light, before it goes back into his pocket]

It seems like it. [a beat] Is every classroom blessed with something different?

[rugpull]

Yeh their words were different...

[ordimame]

Do you know what they are? I didn't ask, but that's because I wasn't thinking about it.

[rugpull]

Yakuyoke and Kai-un.
