Well... Yuri invited me to it, and it would be impolite to refuse- so...

[ More like he was scared she would do something bad if he said no. ]

[screwdrivers]

Mnn, then I guess you didn't have much of a choice, huh ...?

[ Keisuke wouldn't know how to refuse either, sob ... ]

[superhacker]

[ Chihiro shakes his head. ] But the dinner is good, at least... offering this to us was nice of her, I suppose.

[screwdrivers]

Ah, yeah, I agree. It's nice being able to eat real food like this.

[ Seeing as he was used to eating artificial stuff called Solids in his world ...

Too bad being dead still makes it a little difficult to stomach food, though. ]

[superhacker]

... But I wonder if it was necessary to make it so scary.

[ There are carrots shaped like fingers and then those riceballs made into skulls... ]

[screwdrivers]

Mnn, who knows? I think it's really weird, but ... food is food, I guess. I'm trying not to think about it.

[ Hmm, playing with his food a little, cutting it up and trying to arrange it so it doesn't look like body parts and creepy things anymore. He really doesn't need any more subtle reminders that he's dead. ]

[superhacker]

I guess you're right.

[ Chihiro tries to follow the example, putting a riceball apart with a fork. ]

[screwdrivers]

[ Aw, good, he notices Chihiro following his example, and he's glad to have been able to help a little, he thinks. With something that'll make the food look less creepy. ]

Yeah. And hopefully there won't be any more dinners like this.

[superhacker]

Maybe today was a special occasion we're not aware of.

[ What is Halloween... he never celebrated it. He picks at the onigiri and eats it in bitty pieces. ]

[screwdrivers]

[ Hmmmnn. ]

Shouldn't they tell us about it before they invite us places then? It's a little weird not to ...

[superhacker]

They probably wanted to surprise us...

[screwdrivers]

[ Mmnn ... ]

I don't think we really need any surprises in a place like this ...

[ Being dead and all. ]

[superhacker]

... I know.

[ Chihiro sure isn't happy to know he's dead. Then again, who would be? He doesn't even remember how he died at all. ]

[screwdrivers]

[ Mmnn, Keisuke is just going to sigh at that and pick at his food a little more. Looking a little more down, and ... well, he's not really sure what to say now. ]

[superhacker]

[ Awkward silence, the worst obstacle for socializing... Chihiro will speak up some time later. ]

I suppose we can... meet again sometime, at school?

[screwdrivers]

[ Sob. If only he were better at socializing ...

But he thinks he may have found a friend? At least, Chihiro wants to meet him again sometime, so that's good!

Smiling a little. ]

Yeah, I'd like that.

[superhacker]

[ Ah, good... he nods, smiling back. ] Which class are you from?

[screwdrivers]

[ Hmmnn ... what class is he from ...

He's not exactly used to this kind of thing, and he hasn't really been there much besides looking around the place ... OOPS ... ]

Uhh, I'm not really sure ...

[superhacker]

You're not? Aren't you a student from the school? [ But he can't be an NPC either, though. ]

[screwdrivers]

I ... think so. I mean, my room is in the dorms, but ... [ Hmmmnn ... he feels kind of irresponsible now ... ]

I haven't really been going to the school that much ...

[superhacker]

You haven't? [ That's so weird. Who wouldn't want to go to school? A normal school, to boot? There must be good reasons why people skip it, right? ]

... Can I ask why?

[screwdrivers]

[ He isn't exactly used to normal school or anything in the first place, but ... sob ...

Kiiind of acting a little awkward then. ]

W-Well, I haven't really gone out much at all. I ... wasn't in the mood. [ Which is code for he's been in intense depression since he died —

Going to school was the last thing on his mind and still is ... ]

[superhacker]

[ ... Guess it's understandable. ]

I see... I never had a chance to go to a normal school, so I'm very glad to go. [ More like, the only real school experience turned out to be rather tragic... ]

[screwdrivers]

[ Aaah, someone else who's kind of in the same boat then? ]

Ah, hey, neither have I.

[ Which is partially why he has no idea what to do here ... ]

[superhacker]

Really? So... you still need to get used to it?
