asking for a friend

Ritsu Kageyama 7/2 near Chata

Welcome to all the unfortunate new users of Retrospec. You should know the unnatural changes of the world also affect loved ones outside the city, who are oblivious as the non-Retrospec users here; you might also experience some physical changes or receive unwanted things in the mail. Usually at the start of the month, given others' accounts. Anyway... If people were being very insistent. (Very.) And refusing to take no for an answer, what type of birthday present would you ask for? P.S. Indecisiveness is unhelpful and not the point of the post, please refrain from posting so unless you have some idea.

Since they're feeling so generous, something expensive that's relevant to my interests... like a game console that I couldn't afford otherwise. After all, they wouldn't insist if they weren't prepared for the answer, right? Why not take advantage of the opportunity and treat myself?

[esperimental]

Never mind the opportunistic emptying of wallets, huh? It's a step short of actual theft, but you have a point.

[hauhra]

You can call it opportunistic if you want... but it'll at least show you just how true to their word they really are... almost like a test of character. Heh.

[ Not really, Bakhura, but okay. ]

[esperimental]

I don't really want to test my parents' character. That'd be being the troublesome teenage delinquent the second I entered this stage of life.

[hauhra]

What? You want to make sure that they're suited for the job, don't you? It's your future that's on the line here, you know! And if something goes wrong with that, well, then... let's just say that it could spell far more than just delinquency for you...

[esperimental]

Do you make some habit or living out of fortune telling online.

[hauhra]

No... but now that you mention it... it doesn't sound like a bad idea.

[ What have you done, Ritsu. ]

[esperimental]

So long as you're well-researched and not actually just conning people, then I shall have no issue with your choice of business venture.

[ This is fine.jpeg ]

[hauhra]

Research won't be a problem... the occult is my specialty, after all. So don't worry! My customers will be in good hands.

[ Which means that Ritsu should be very worried. ]

[esperimental]

[ WHY DOES HE SUDDENLY FEEL... VERY MUCH UNEASE. Oh no. Time to futilely attempt to take back everything you said. ]

Are you sure it's not just scamming them.

[ smooth ]

[hauhra]

I can assure you that my interest in the occult is genuine... I'm only taking things a step further and turning what I love into a living.

That's what a career is supposed to be, isn't it?

[ He hopes Ritsu wasn't expecting him to answer that question honestly.

Because he totally didn't. ]
