fortuneprince | Luceti - Appointment Post!

[Hm.]

Because I do not believe I have ever once broadcasted myself playing over the journal's network nor have I played in a public area. [The only chessboard she has is at the apartment.]

Maybe you should hold a chess tournament so we can find out who all the brains in Luceti are.

I suppose that isn't a necessarily bad idea. [Like she said, it would give her the chance to find out who all is smart here.]

Pawn to A-3. [And so it moves] What experience do you have with chess, if I may ask, Nakamura-san?

[ Wait what? Okay, that distracts Yuri from even thinking about a move and she just stares at Naoto like she's got an extra head somewhere. ]

What's with the "Nakamura-san"? Did you get body-snatched? Brain damage?

[Yeah she's definitely mistaking her for someone else. Not that she didn't come to that conclusion before but this just makes it more obvious.]

It is customary and polite in Japan to refer to one by their last name unless the relationship can be deemed to be more than acquaintances or unless permitted to refer to another by their first name. [She puts her hand on her hip and shifts her weight to one leg] As we have never met, we are not acquaintances and we have not permitted one another anything.

[ Waiiiit. Now that she looks at the other person--

Oh, the hair was blue. She holds up one hand and pulls her journal out and starts writing in it real fast while she keeps talking. ]

So you're not Naoi? You can still call me Yuri though. No one calls me Nakamura really. Just Yuri or Yurippe.

[She blinks at that, wondering to herself what the girl had just done then shakes her head at the question.]

No, I am not this "Naoi" person. My name is Naoto Shirogane. It is a pleasure to meet you Yuri.

[ Yuri's eyes narrow for a moment..

Nao. Really. Really. At least her first name isn't Aya or something. Hell, the only reason Yuri had assumed she was a she was because Naoi probably would've mentioned another brother during the whole backstory bit. A sister could be estranged or off doing something else, since his family always seemed a little old-fashioned.

This is ridiculous. Oh well. If anything, Yuri's adaptable. ]

Naoto-chan it is!

[ So she doesn't just accidentally start getting mixed up. Extra syllables will help. ]

[AOEIGOAEIH]

P-Please, refrain from using 'chan', if you will. 'Kun' will suffice. [It's just weird okay.]

Are you a boy then or is that just a preference? Because I don't think I can handle it if you're a boy, I'm already pretty sure you might be an alternate universe's version of Naoi except nice.

[ A pause. ]

I should call you "Nao-kun" and Naoi "Nao-chan."

Preference. [Just be lucky she isn't like how she used to be before her shadow and all, otherwise she would've claimed to be a boy.]

I would prefer it if you simply referred to me by my name and not a nickname you decided upon due to the similarity of our names.

[ Not like Yuri would care all that much. :| You can be whatever gender you want to be! She has no problem smacking any gender upside the head. :'D ]

I'll consider your request! [ Consider.

Also she's turning her journal around now for a few seconds, pointing it at Naoto, then turning it back. ]

"Consider".[Repeating her in a slightly agitated tone. This girl is going to be difficult to handle, isn't she? She sighs.

She then blinks when she notices the girl turning her journal to face her then turns it back. It's an odd action to do just randomly but she had just done something to her journal a moment ago so... is she talking to someone?]

What are you doing?

Proving to Naoi that you're his face-twin.

[ She says it like it's the most obvious thing. ]

... I see. [It kinda bothers her that she has no idea who this other person is, especially since they look similar enough to her that people can confuse her for him.]

If I may ask, who is this "Naoi" person? I do not believe I am familiar with him.

I'm going with your evil male twin. [ A pause. ] He's from my world, he likes to pretend he's a god, he does pottery, and he brainwashes people.

[:|

Why was she comparing him to her again? By the sounds of it they're nothing alike but in appearance. This girl could have at least caught on that their personalities are different.]

How exactly does he 'brainwash' people?

His eyes turn red and if you look into them, he'll hypnotize you and can tell you to do anything he wants.

[ Still scribbling in here. She wants to take a screenshot of Naoi or something to show Naoto but it's not like they're on video.. ]

His eyes turn red? [Hm] How strange. I have never seen a hypnotist use a method such as that before.

That's because hypnosis isn't really a good word for it. If he says you do something, you do it. Whether it's worshipping clothespins or erasing who you are, as long as he doesn't lose eye contact he can do it.

If 'hypnosis' isn't a proper term to describe it, then don't use it. [Sighing a little, annoyed just a bit but it wears off as she speaks again]

And you have experienced this for yourself? Or have you simply been a witness?

What else am I going to call it? "Super-effective brain washing mind control that can do anything from pranks to erasing someone" is a little lengthy.

We've never been close. [ So. Definitely. ]

No, that would not be necessary. Simply phrase your sentences more carefully to allow others to understand more clearly.

So he attempted this 'hypnosis' on you once?

Even if you say that, I have absolutely no doubts that I won't listen.

Once. It didn't take and now we live together so obviously it worked out okay.

Imbecile. [Irritated sigh. Honestly]

You hold no grudge against him? Or was what he had done not as severe as he may have allowed the situation to get?
