{A}

[If you find yourself in the woods for any reason, and you happen to be preparing food, you might turn around and find yourself with a certain fluffy visitor, staring intently at your meal with his stomach rumbling loudly.]

{B}

[Alternatively you stumble across a man face down on the ground in the middle of fucking nowhere. If you come close enough to check, he does seem to be alive, just unconscious, and actually starting to wake up!]

{C}

[Or there's a Zeno in your setting. Who knows why! (BECAUSE IF ENOUGH YEARS PASS IT'S EASY TO SAY HIS FANTASY SETTING BECOMES YOUR SETTING, MAYBE HUMANITY STRAIGHT UP FUCKING RESTARTED, WHO KNOWS? THIS MAN IS OLDER THAN THE HILLS.) Anyway follow your dreams, feel free to start something more specific or ask me to start something more specific within certain lines, I'm really excited please love me.

Also feel free to just straight up game setting this shit. Court/AFD/QM/LR this shit come at me bros.]

[ingoodface]

[ well, since he's going to be waking up eventually anyway, ruler is going to sit next to zeno and wait. if he's the sort of person who can get pings, there's ~some sort of magical thing going on here, but it's difficult to tell exactly what's going on, and he otherwise looks like a regular person in a plain black uniform, toting a backpack. ]

Ah, you're waking up.

oh my GOD YOUJI

[defendless]

[he can get a vague sense of that, but only Very Very Vague, even completely unaffected by ruler's bullshit. sits up, stretching.] Ah, so I am.

:3

[ingoodface]

[ calm, with a hand pressed against his cheek and his other arm on his knees ]

Can you remember who you are, and where you are?

[defendless]

Quite well, thank you! Zeno is Zeno.

[ingoodface]

I see, that's a relief. Then, you aren't injured at all? Should I call an ambulance?

[defendless]

No need, no need. Thank you, that's very kind.

1/2

[ingoodface]

That's very good to hear. Well then . . .

[ingoodface]

[ in a gently scolding tone, ]

Would you care to explain this? It's terribly concerning to see someone lying on the roadside like this, you know -- is this the result of an overly rambunctious night or something like that? Really, you should be taking care of yourself more. Such carelessness can only be rewarded with misfortune!

[defendless]

Zeno just got tired...

[ingoodface]

The ground isn't for sleeping on! If you have no place to go, there is a church nearby that you can ask for sanctuary!

[defendless]

Zeno has an apartment, but he was sleepy right then.

[ingoodface]

Sleep at home, then! My goodness!

[ huffs, giving him a little poke on the forehead ]

What do you think that apartment is for?

[defendless]

[laughs, cheerful and charmed.] Zeno's much more used to camping out! The apartments feel cramped.

[ingoodface]

It's a matter of space? Still, there are better places to fall asleep at than in front of a school, Zeno-san.

[defendless]

Ah! Sorry, was Zeno in the way?

[ingoodface]

Put frankly, yes, but more importantly than that, you should at least have some sort of blanket and such.

[defendless]

Zeno dresses warmly, so he's fine on that front.

[ingoodface]

Still! At least sleep in a better place, alright?

And -- sleeping should be properly done at night! If you're just waking up now, then you missed every class today!

[ another forehead poke ]

[defendless]

Zeno doesn't go to school anyway, so there's no loss there. But he'll try to sleep more out of the way next time.

[this fucking truant]

[ingoodface]

......... So. Like I'm saying, go to school properly.

[defendless]

Zeno will pass.

[ingoodface]

And why would that be?

[defendless]

Zeno is too dumb to learn about all that stuff!

[ingoodface]

...

[ to be honest, a little surprised by that, but ]

I'm sure that's not really the case. Slowly, slowly, bit by bit, you can learn things as well. You shouldn't give up on yourself.

[defendless]

No, no, being a country boy suits Zeno, you see? I'm not strong, or smart, but there's a lot even I can do, so it's fine! You needn't worry so much.
