Good afternoon. To introduce myself, I'm Omi Fushimi. I arrived recently. I work here as a photographer.

I have some questions, though they're kind of specific to those who've become Turnskin and/or other Monsters here.

So, first of all, if you're a Turnskin, how severe were the effects on your second full moon? As you can guess, I've only just passed my first.

And second, for those who are Monsters in general, when did you decide on a Bond, or rather, how long were you here before you settled on something?

I realize these are personal. I think hearing about these might help put me at ease, so I'm grateful for even vague answers. I'm sorry to ask questions with little in return, but if anyone who responds is particularly fond of scones, I've just made a large batch.

You've got at least a month to deal with it. If time is what you need, you've got some to work with.

Sure. It was Le Roman Picturesque. Why are you asking?

[pastregrets]

I'll try to relax about it. Thanks for reassuring me. You're good at that, aren't you?

I see. Something just felt a little weird, but I understand now. It's nothing to worry about, it's all on my end.

[sneaksweet]

[Juza, rereading this a few times. What? Is he good at this?]

I don't know about that.

... I'm kind of worried now.

[pastregrets]

It makes sense, sort of, if you came here before me? But I've done a second play with Autumn Troupe. That's really all.

[sneaksweet]

[The most important thing about this is-]

We paid off the debt?

[pastregrets]

[RIGHT?]

Winter Troupe won an act-off against God Troupe and the debt got paid from that. We got to keep going.

[sneaksweet]

That's great.

Who's in Winter Troupe?

[Does he even know any of them?]

[pastregrets]

[Omi thinks for a bit...]

Azuma, Homare, Hisoka, and Tsumugi... I don't think you knew any of them personally. Tsumugi is the leader. You'd know of the fifth, Tasuku, probably? He was in God Troupe before everything happened.

[sneaksweet]

What're they like? Is Azuma that guy with long silver hair?

We all met Tasuku. [Apparently the only member of God Troupe with a conscious.]

[pastregrets]

[Don't indulge Omi's nosiness.]

That's right, long silver hair, perfect skin. I didn't know you knew him by name. He's quite the character. I think he might be a lighthearted troublemaker, between you and me.

I've been around Tasuku a little more, so I didn't want to assume you remembered much about him. He's surprisingly stern, but a very gifted actor. Their play was really something with him as co-lead.

Homare is a writer. He mostly seems to do poetry, and he's very lively and unique. Hisoka is kind of the opposite entirely. He likes marshmallows, and seems to have some kind of amnesia. We're not entirely sure where he's from. Winter Troupe takes good care of him, from what I can see. Tsumugi is somewhat soft-spoken and kind. He and Tasuku have a history; they knew each other as children, if I'm remembering right. They didn't get along at first, but things smoothed out in the end.

You should've seen their play! It was really emotional and thoughtful.

[sneaksweet]

He saved Banri and me from a fight when we were trying to hand out flyers.

Sounds like an interesting group dynamic. [Is he allowed to say that when Akigumi is so messy themselves? It's too late now.]

Would've loved to. [Too bad about his canon point, huh?]

[pastregrets]

He doesn't seem like the fighting type at all. How did he save you?

They're an experience. I hope you'll meet them someday.

[sneaksweet]

You know the "I called the police" and then you don't call the police? Like that.

Yeah... me too. I need to thank them for paying off the debt.

[pastregrets]

He's a natural at acting, in his own way. It's kind of unbelievable how good Winter Troupe is. I feel like even more of a novice next to them, but it'll just make me work harder.

It'll happen. I don't know why I think that, but it will.

[sneaksweet]

Tasuku's been doing this for a while. Of course we're going to feel like amateurs... I hope he gives advice.

[Because Juza will take anything he can get.]

[pastregrets]

I don't see why he wouldn't. You'll just have to ask.

I'm kind of waffling on whether or not I should try to act here. I know the laws were strict until recently.

[sneaksweet]

I haven't really gotten to know him yet...

We can at least practice at home.

[pastregrets]

I think asking for professional advice from a person with more experience is fine even if you're just slightly acquainted. Well, of course you'll have to be not in a world he's not in, right? So what I'm saying really doesn't matter! Sorry.

We can. Have you been doing any exercises or etudes?

[sneaksweet]

I've been doing the vocal exercises but it's hard to do etudes alone.

Would you mind doing some with me?

[pastregrets]

I'll just say plainly that I will always, always want to act with you. So yeah, let's practice! We can even do street acts in front of the house or a local business, if you're feeling bold.

[sneaksweet]

Let's start in front of the house.
