First stitch - Roommates, free time and hobbies

[sewdamncute]

[Action/Ice Building, Floor Three, Apartment Thirteen]

GOKU!!!!!!!!!!

[Goddammit... It was bad enough that Kanji was living with the weirdo... okay, so, Goku wasn't that bad as a roommate. He was polite and helpful. He didn't judge Kanji on his hobbies. He was actually kinda supportive, in a weird sort of fashion.

It didn't even bother him too much that the other man liked to walk through the apartment half-dressed.... Okay, that first time totally didn't count! Who does that?

But, the towel on the floor of the bathroom, still damp from the power shower he'd taken? NOT cool.]

GET THIS SHIT UP OFF THE FLOOR! RIGHT NOW!

[Video, Later the same day]

[You can see the blond standing in a clothing shop. He's standing in front of a rack of clothes with a pensive look on his face. It's obvious the journal is open and facing out to film him for a purpose. Kanji adjusts the rack before moving to the side to let anyone curious and paying attention to see a display of knitted stuffed toys.]

Yeah, that's perfect.

[He turns to face the journal and tries to smile, but it's obvious he's nervous.]

So, um, name's Kanji Tatsumi for those who don't know me. I just...Look, here's the deal. My family runs a textile shop back home. Since I got here, I've been feelin' homesick. And, uh, I've been doin' stuff that I would back there. Thanks to Rhyme, I got a place to sell them from. So, if you need somethin' repaired or you're looking for a cute plush toy, I'm your guy.

I'll be here on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons and all day Sunday.

That's all.

I was just asking because some people come from worlds that don't have any, and others come from worlds where it's common.

Yeah, well, up till a year ago, I woulda said that magic is just parlour tricks for kids and special effects.

[fashionably_strong]

Oh, so some people use magic in your world, then? That's cool.

[sewdamncute]

Yeah, it ain't normal. It's kinda cool though. It's kinda like bein' a super hero, but nobody knows what we do.

[fashionably_strong]

So, what do you do, then?

Um, we saved people who'd been kidnapped and thrown into a dangerous world. And we caught a murderer and attempted murderer.

But, seriously, who's gonna believe that we went into a world inside the TVs to do all this and then fought a Death Goddess to keep the world from turnin' into a bunch of monsters?

[fashionably_strong]

...huh. Going inside TVs is new.

[And that's the only part that actually sounds really strange to her.]

Goku, his family, my family and some friends of ours have all helped to save the world before...but the world thinks it was mostly Mr. Satan that did it.

I don't even know how we got Adachi's confession to stick. I mean, it's not like anyone really believes we chased him into the TV world and handed his ass to him. Even if that's what really happened.

We're lucky that we even got Yu-senpai's cop uncle to half believe us after it was all over.

Well, take out the jumping into TV world part, and it's believable enough that you guys tracked down a murderer. People probably pieced things together to match up to whatever they thought was more realistic.
