[... She is, isn't she? Ringo laughs at that, amused, as she lifts her chopsticks to go for some of the pickled vegetables.]

Yeah, you could say that. Figue's pretty different from me, though. We were made that way, you know? For balance.

She's the calm and measured one. Very sensitive, always worrying about other peoples' feelings.

[irreversal]

Hm. So it's like that. Like you're two halves of a whole.

[ Though Shoko tips her head to one side, curious. ]

You've seemed pretty thoughtful to me too, though, Ringo-chan.

[hexensabbat]

Yeah, exactly!

[Ringo beams at that, taking another swig of her beer.]

Aw thanks! If you ever meet Figue, please tell her that. I wanna see her face.

[A laugh, and she leans back on her hand.]

I just like learning about people. Humans are so interesting. Making friends and bonds and connections... it's pretty special.

I wanna learn more about you, too, Shoko.

[irreversal]

[ Oh? What an interesting dynamic she must have with her sister, for her to react that way. At Ringo's latter remark, though, Shoko grins. ]

Yeah? Go for it. What do you want to learn?

[hexensabbat]

So you're not a normal human, yeah? What's going on with you and your world?

[Of course that's the natural starting point.]

[irreversal]

Oh, you know. This and that. Like shoooom and dandannnn.

[ . . . . . .



Fine. She'll actually explain, since she did tell Ringo to go for it. ]

Negative human emotions build up and cursed spirits are born with it. People like me who can see into that supernatural layer of our world have the ability to train and fight them using cursed energy in our own bodies. Those are sorcerers, and there aren't a lot of us. In my case, though, I convert mine into a healing energy, which is rare. I can also use it to heal other people, which is even more rare. Anyway, recently a lot of bad guys popped up that wanted to turn the world upside down, so it was pretty stressful, but the students and sorcerers at my school worked really hard to beat them.

[hexensabbat]

Oh, hey! Not too different from my world, then. At least, not in the ways that matter.

[Ringo laughs, beaming.]

Not surprised you're all kinds of special, though. It just feels right for someone like you. Healing, huh... bet you've saved lots of lives.

[irreversal]

[ Shoko did have a feeling, from what Ringo's described so far, that their worlds aren't all that different. She's not sure if that's a good thing or not, but as long as there's someone like Ringo fighting for her world... it's probably going to be fine. ]

Hoh? That feels like a big compliment. [ She smiles a little. ] But, yeah. I have. I've honestly lost track, at this point.

[hexensabbat]

[Ah, there! A smile from Shoko! Ringo's deeply pleased by this.]

That's how it should be, I think.

[For healers, anyway.]

Maybe I should come give you a hand sometime. In your world.
