Koutarou Takao

3/13 near Viea Village
Lemon Leaf is closed for the whole day today, and will also be closed all of the 19th.

On another note, does anyone know anyone called Mori-sensei? Tall, Japanese, brown hair pulled back.

[ Memory regains he's been wondering over since he got that cat plushie.

And usually, Koutarou never has the atelier closed for a whole day. But he needs some time to himself that is not painting. (And some people might know that today is Koutarou's 29th birthday.) That's not to say that people can't encounter him during that time. ]

I do not know of this person. A friend of yours, I take it?

[She was pointedly not going to assume it was because of a vision, not yet anyway. There were completely mundane reasons to ask a question like that, damnit, and she was going to try and pretend the mundane world still existed ... if even for only a moment.]

Koutarou Takao I don't know. A teacher, I think. It felt that way at least.

[ Sorry, it's definitely one of those visions that has him asking. ]

Chloe Bouchard I see.
Chloe Bouchard How is it that you do not know who this person is, and yet are asking about them?
Chloe Bouchard Or is this one of those visions people are having?

Koutarou Takao It was a vision, yes.
Koutarou Takao He felt very familiar.

Chloe Bouchard I see.
Chloe Bouchard In that case, I definitely do not know this person, for which I am sorry.
Chloe Bouchard But nobody seems to know those from mine, so I think this is not uncommon.

It's fine. It was a long-shot anyway.
Yeah, probably not.

I am beginning to wonder if any of our visions are related at all. That might almost be alarming in and of itself.

You mean, related to each others'?

Yes. I was wondering if any of our visions were somehow shared on some level, but nobody has given me any sign that they were.

I see. They might not be.

[ Apparently Koutarou and Chuuya share the memory of a name and the occupation belonging to that name, but beyond that… Nope. ]

And if they are not, then that makes it more likely that the visions aren't real somehow, as some are extremely surreal. At least that is how I feel about it when I hear stories of strange visions that look nothing like mine.

[Though she was basically grasping at straws on this one.]

It would make sense with some of them if they were not real.

With a few stories I have heard, yes. Some of the ones I have heard about are just outlandish enough that it is much easier to believe it is fake.

I suppose that would be so.

Yes, but so far mine have been just short of believable. There haven't been any images I have seen that were not really the sort of thing that 'could' happen, if the situation were somehow right. I envy the more fantastical in a way.

Easier to disbelieve.

Ryoji Mochizuki i don't know a Mori-sensei, but is he a university Japanese language professor?
Ryoji Mochizuki i'm not sure -sensei is used very much unless it's in that context
Ryoji Mochizuki also
Ryoji Mochizuki is everything alright at your studio?

Koutarou Takao Sensei is not only used for teachers. In this case he was maybe teacher, it felt like it, but he also seemed to be a doctor.
Koutarou Takao Yes, it is. Not to worry.

Ryoji Mochizuki a doctor... in our general hospital?
Ryoji Mochizuki one of the outpatient clinics?
Ryoji Mochizuki there should be a list of doctors you can search for by last name for you to find your friend(?)

Koutarou Takao No, I don't think so. I can't recall ever meeting him either here or in Japan, yet I remember meeting him and knowing him except I don't know the details.
Koutarou Takao There are online telephone books...isn't there?

Ryoji Mochizuki that's kind of hard to grasp...
Ryoji Mochizuki and if he's a doctor from your past, he might have retired depending on how long ago it's been
Ryoji Mochizuki Mori is likely too common a name to narrow down through telephone books
Ryoji Mochizuki what else do you recall about this mystery doctor?

Koutarou Takao It's one of the most common surnames in Japan.
Koutarou Takao Our family doctor's name was Maeda, the school's was Sakamoto, and I don't think I would connect a feeling of respect to a doctor I didn't know well. I respect the profession and all but it's a different kind of respect.
Koutarou Takao Not much at all, except his appearance and the air he gave off.

Ryoji Mochizuki hmm
Ryoji Mochizuki it's rather difficult to find somebody with so little information to go off of...
Ryoji Mochizuki what is it you need to tell him so badly?
Ryoji Mochizuki if it isn't too private to share

I know. I don't have very much to go on.
No, it's fine.
It's not that.
I want to know who he is, if he's real or if this vision I had is something impossible as the last one I had was.

finding a single person amongst the millions on our planet might seem impossible, but if you think he's out there, then i believe you can find him!

what was your last vision about?

I hope so, if only to make sense of it.

Getting treatment in an old-fashioned infirmary. It was really minor I suppose but it was definitely one of those visions and it felt important to me.

anything else you can tell me about him?

name alone doesn't ring a bell but I might've talked to him sometime, I see a lot of people

and hey, I can always keep an eye out.

Koutarou Takao Not very much.
Koutarou Takao He seemed a bit of a military man? Maybe. I think he was a doctor but wore militaristic clothing. Like some sort of uniform-like outfit.
Koutarou Takao Thank you, Chuuya.
Koutarou Takao I'm not sure he is real though.

Chuuya Nakahara a kind of military doctor maybe, then
Chuuya Nakahara but what do you mean you're not sure he's real?
Chuuya Nakahara if you know who he is then he's got to be real in SOME way, right?

Yeah, maybe. I didn't think of that.
It was one of those hallucinomemories. Which I think that the Vesuvius thing last month was too.
It felt real but it can't be but I want to be sure, you know?

[there's a longer delay between messages, this time.]

I think it must be real

not sure if it's the same one but I remember a Mori-sensei too, he was my boss. used to be a doctor, too.

[ Does that mean he's cheated on his girlfriend without being aware of it? He doesn't like that thought, he's never even thought abouit cheating even oncein his life. ]

Are you sure?

That sounds a little odd to simply be a coincidence.

But a doctor was your boss? Doesn't that make Chuuya a nurse or something like that?

[ That image is amusing. He needed some amusing today. ]

oh my god no

former doctor

I don't know what kind of job I had with him but I'm very sure I wasn't a damn nurse, I can't even imagine

consider that mental image your birthday present til I can get you a real one

You don't want to be a nurse?

My, it's the best birthday gift a painter could ever ask for, are you sure?

Can't say I have. Are they well known for something?

Koutarou Takao I don't really know, actually. I can't say either yes or no.

So, why ask about them, then? Did you just meet them?

No, I didn't.
I suddenly had a vision and wanted to know if there was anything to it.
But it doesn't seem like it.

Do you get visions a lot? Or is that a new thing? Because there's been some freaky stuff going on around here lately.

No, not really. Sometimes. They started last month. I'm not sure if they're connected to the other oddities that has been going on lately or not.

Last month... like around the time all the horses suddenly became chocobos?

Yes, that’s right.

Hm. A lot of weird stuff started happening around that point.

It did, and they're not stopping either.

I wonder if it's related.
