[sigh]

I really hope we made the right decision...
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Hm...)

Well, first of all, the place where we were was Watanuki-san's dreams. [Oh hey, that's the first time she's actually said that out loud.] So it's likely that "dream logic" was at play.

Anyway, the setting of the dream was Watanuki-san's shop. Normally it was just us there, and sometimes Watanuki-san himself, but one day a customer appeared. He was a pretty ordinary-looking boy. Japanese, a few years older than me. He introduced himself as John Doe, a magician. He told us that there was a trial coming up, which didn't affect him but affected a number of "foreign workers"--that's us--and that the person running the trial was trying to get them found guilty, and he was looking for a way to help prevent that.

We ended up having the choice of giving him one of three items. There was a "Summer Camp Petosky" bandanna tied around some marroni chestnuts, which I believe we've discussed before. There was a roll of dirty, used-looking bandages, which I think must have had something to do with Dazai-san. And there was a "Magic for Beginners" book, which was what we went with because it seemed relevant. Then Watanuki-san appeared and said it was a reminder for Doe-san.

[She thinks for a moment.]

During his explanation, he mentioned someone called "Titi." None of us thought to ask who that was.

...I'm not sure what to think of him, if I'm being honest.

I suppose he isn't necessarily in charge, though. He's the "host," but that doesn't mean he isn't taking orders from someone. The "producer," I suppose.

[Karen will also have stronger opinions before too long!]

I just wish we knew more about who it was. Or they were, as the case may be.
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] This is serious)

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-06-27 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...that, I'm not sure about. He showed some strange abilities that make me think he might be from 6350 himself. In that case, he'd have as much to lose from a bad result as we do.

[...]

I wish I'd gotten in a few more hits on him.

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-06-27 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
...I shouldn't say "that just means we have to try things on him until something works," because that's something a villain would say.
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Of course not hahaha)

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-06-27 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely we can set a higher bar than that, anyway.
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Just as planned)

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-06-29 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
All right. We'll be better than a nicer version of him who listens to explanations before he starts a fight.
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Looking back)

[Karen thinks for a moment.]

Do you think Dazai-san could be Titi?
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Serious Business)

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-07-02 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[...hm.]

That's... plausible. He looked Japanese and his hair was about right. He was a bit younger, but of course it was a dream. He was skinny, and he wore glasses.

As for his personality... it's hard to judge from just that one meeting, but it did seem like he had similar aspects. They're both... I don't know how to put it. Flippant, maybe? Like he wasn't really taking things seriously.

And he was definitely with the Foundation, so there's that.
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Hm...)

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-07-02 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
On the other hand, if he is wearing contacts, that would explain why he isn't wearing glasses anymore.

I'll have to look for it when I get a chance. I'll recognize it when I see it.

It's a stretch, but I should also see if he'll respond to the name "John Doe."
