◎ Bout 2: The age question [action/voice]

[thunderfists]

[action]

[Akihiko's been adjusting well enough to Luceti following the crash back to reality that Luceti was a different world that was not the TV world he was supposed to have appeared in. He's back to a "civilized" level of hygiene and no longer running around in survival pants and a cape -- no, now he's back to sweatpants and T-shirts for his jogs and training. He can be found jogging on the village roads and into the forest, which he's now fairly familiar with after spending so much time out there.

Later in the day, after he's finished with his training for the day, he opens up his journal. Ever since that "experiment," he's been wondering something. But before he asks, he should probably introduce himself...]

[voice]

Hey. I'm Akihiko Sanada. I arrived here in the recent ... cycle. I guess that's what you call it. I've heard that I might have met some people here before, so I thought I'd warn you that I don't remember ever being in Luceti.

Anyway, I've got a question. How do you decide when to celebrate or acknowledge your birthdays here? There can be a lot of different kinds of calendars, even in the same world, so... I'm curious how other people handle it.

Also, if anyone knows how I can get my hands on a speed bag, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

That is fine with me. I am the only occupant on the third floor, in room thirteen. I will see you soon.

Third floor, room thirteen. Got it. [He's definitely looking forward to getting over there, if the way he shuts the journal immediately is any sign of his enthusiasm.]

In Animal Crossing, my neighbor gave me a Speed Bag as my first piece of furniture...

[theogre]

[And Sakura will be ready and waiting. It doesn't take her long to move the speed bag closer to the door, and she spends the rest of the waiting time doing some cleaning. Collecting various pieces of exercise equipment is hard work...she needs to actually make her room hospitable if someone else were to ever come in.]

Lucky. I think mine was a chair or something...

[Akihiko's still in a good mood by the time he arrives at the building and makes his way up to the third floor. He's even wondering if he should go for another jog with the speed bag equipment, if simply because it'd be something different.

And so he knocks on Sakura's door, glancing around the community building walls in the mean time. Pretty nice place; he wonders if the building residents pitch in to keep the public hallways clean.]
