goalsides | KAINE;

[ She makes a face, something like a grimace. ]

That's a long time to be in a place like this, pretending at whatever the fuck this is supposed to be.

[ Even if she got explanations about degrees granting wishes and saw stuff about the Dorm Wars, it's hard to believe it in its entirety. ]

That's what I said. They keep saying this place is a real school and we all applied, but it's like nobody can actually prove it. No entrance exams, no applications, no stupid bear to ask.

So we have to decide if we're all going along with this or not, I guess.

It makes no fucking sense when I don't know what school is like. There's no way I would have known how to do any of that.

[ Her taking some kind of entrance exam is hilarious. ]

I don't want to waste time, but there's not that many other ways to see whatever's going on.

That's what I've been thinking, too. [...] A friend of mine were trying to decide how much we want to go along with this, but I'm still saying there isn't much of an option right now. If we go with it, we're more likely to find an answer.

Better than just sitting around, right?

Yeah, and waiting's a bitch.

[ Might as well do SOMETHING even if she doesn't know just how necessary it is. ]

[mood. such a mood, in fact, that he nods and pauses for a second.]

I'm Taichi. [he could stand to say nice to meet you but like, why. that should be obvious enough.]

It's Kainé.

[ It's okay. She doesn't need pleasantries and doesn't do them either. ]

Good to know. [...and because it's something he's been asking people:] Did you show up by yourself? Or was there anyone familiar around?

I didn't know anyone.

[ ... ]

But someone knew my name even before I told him.

[...disconcerting.]

Different timelines? Or something else?

[ She looks lost for a moment, uncertain. ]

I don't know. He wouldn't tell me anything.

[ She sounds frustrated about it. ]

That...[he suddenly looks a little annoyed on her behalf. that would be really frustrating to withhold information from somebody when you clearly know things they don't.]

Did he say that he knew you? Or did you find out on accident?

[he means did this person say it or did she pick up from it via context clues.]

He said my name first thing, so it was basically telling me he knew me. Or he at least knew of me.

[ ... ]

I have a reputation.

[he raises an eyebrow.]

Good, bad, or not my business?

It's none of your business, but you can take a guess.

[ She doesn't exactly moderate her behavior. ]

I think that answers my question. [hah.] Who knows? It's still early, maybe you'll get answers from him later.

He's being really fucking stubborn about it like an asshole.

[ It sounds like she could wring that someone's neck by how frustrated she is. ]

[it's week zero please don't kill nier yet.]

Okay, what if somebody else asked him? Think he'd answer?

[ look... she's doing her best.* ]

I don't know. You can give it a shot, but it doesn't matter that much.

[ she says, even though she doesn't hide her frustration at all.

*citation needed ]

[i for one would let her do whatever the hell she wanted. but taichi notices that and he really should leave it alone, but. okay.]

So who is he?

[...he also has a guess but he's being polite and not assuming that just because two people look sort of similar that they're from the same place.]

The asshat with a headband.

[ Is that a helpful description? Probably not, but Kainé is just likes this. ]

[kaine.]

You didn't even get his name?

He doesn't want me to have it.

[ it's not her fault. this one time. ]

[she is valid in this one moment. but. okay.]

If I find this guy, I'll ask and see what he has to say. Maybe I'll actually get an answer.

Good fucking luck.

[ Taichi will probably have better luck than Kainé has had this entire week. Probably. ]
