No, you're definitely weird.

[ He hums, putting a spring in his step and walking faster because he knows he's provoking her. She isn't, not really, but when she puts it like that she's just asking to be messed with. ]

But I could say the same about half the people here!

[ He's met some truly bizzare Outsiders. ]

[bowtography]

Yourself included, right?

[ As she quickens her step to try to keep up with him. Don't you try to out-speedwalk her, sir!! ]

That's just demonstrating that you haven't taken the time to get to know a lot of people before!

thanks to our old wanderer player for the meme

[gundemn]

I'm the only normal one here.

[ So he thinks!

But yeah, maybe he hasn't gotten to know anyone on a deep and personal level. Don't call him out like that. However. ]

The more I learn the weirder they get.

[bowtography]

I don't think you're really all that normal.

[ Just saying. ]

But it's true that a lot of people are really unique here.

[gundemn]

[ Gee, what could make her think that. ]

Next to all the gods, magicians, and superhumans? I'm as ordinary as they come!

[ Maybe in his world, he wasn't. An Enhanced Person and modified human, he was an abomination of science, a witch. Here? People pumped nanobots into their body as a normal everyday procedure. ]

[bowtography]

Well, that's the same for me! I'm none of those things.

[ That she remembers. Maybe this is not true later on IF HOYOVERSE WOULD JUST TELL ME ]

[gundemn]

You travel the galaxy in a flying train.

[ Her life falls into a category he would consider fantastical. Giant flying robots are normal but giant flying trains are not! ]

[bowtography]

But those are the circumstances, not me as a person, you know? I bet you've been through things I'd find surprising, too.

[gundemn]

[ He can't really argue with that, on both counts. Throwing his hands up, he shrugs.]

Who knows! I told you I can't remember.

[bowtography]

Okay, then! In my opinion, it was exciting and unique, whatever happened to you!

[ And she grins at him. ]

So if I'm not normal, neither are you. Sad but true.

[gundemn]

Exciting. Right.

[ Elan facepalms, his eyebrows twitching. Help. He's taking psychic damage from her statement. His life, or what he knows of it, is exciting in the way a shitshow might be. Her grin is met with a grimace. ]

Is that how you feel?

[ Don't tell him her amnesia doesn't give her any grief. ]

[bowtography]

Ahaha... well, apparently whatever my memories hold isn't great...

[ Let's not think about it too hard. ]

But I do think the life I've lived since waking up and also coming here has definitely not been boring.

[gundemn]

I'll take boring if it means never fighting a giant monster again.

[ An ordinary life suited him just fine. She should consider it too. Also, let's back up and think about it. ]

I'm not surprised. You don't just lose your memories for no reason.

[bowtography]

[ She would, except she fights monsters back home too so really, nothing has changed for her that much. ]

Well, I could've just tripped and hit my head really hard, but I guess I can rule that out. [ Which is pretty unfortunate, because if it was medical, at least maybe it'd be a somewhat easy and simple fix. ]

[gundemn]

You wouldn't have ended up floating in space if you tripped and fell. If it wasn't a spaceship accident, it can only be sabotage.

[ Though it's hard to imagine a girl like her would make enemies. ]

[bowtography]

Oh that's true, I guess someone else would have been involved with sealing me away...

[ Hm. ]

I wonder what I did.

[gundemn]

Maybe you didn't do anything and they're the assholes.

[ There's a lot of them in the galaxy. ]

[bowtography]

I guess that's one possibility, huh?

[ It'd be nice if it was just an Aeon being a bully, but why go to the trouble for a single person?

... Haaaa. Well, they're approaching the place she'd mentioned, not that he's going to know it, but she pauses to point to the store up ahead. ]

But there's the place! Ready to go in?

[gundemn]

[ Elan's gaze follows her gesture. Maybe it's time to put this downer subject behind and enjoy cake. He rearranges his expression into a vague smile. ]

What are we waiting for?

[ He forges on ahead, pulling open the door. ]

[bowtography]

[ They're greeted by the smell of delicious baked goods and March offers a wave to one of the robotic assistants, who guides them to an empty table and leaves them with menus. ]

I did say I'd treat you to cake, but if anything else looks better to you, I'll count that instead.

[gundemn]

[ His eyes light up as he looks over the menu. For all his earlier grumbling, he's a simple boy moved by food. There's flavors he hasn't tasted before he wants to try. Like this fancy white chocolate three-layered matcha mousse cake. ]

This one.

[bowtography]

[ This is probably the most normal he's been and she smiles to watch him now. This might also be the happiest she's seen him?

But she also puts in an order for a mango and orange mousse cake topped with a strawberry when the robot returns to take their orders, sighing happily. ]

I've been here a few times and there's still a lot on the menu I haven't tried yet. Gives you something to look forward to, you know?

[gundemn]

[ Once the robot takes their orders he kicks back against the booth's seat, hands folded behind his head. ]

I guess. [ Understated. He would come back for sure. ] You're a busybody.

[bowtography]

I just don't like being bored, that's all!

[ Geez, don't phrase it like that?? ]

[gundemn]

[ When the cake comes he will finally shut up... Truth be told, he sort of envies her happiness. ]

So, do you have a to-do list? What's next?
