[ She would nod if Naegi could see her, because it's true. At least they don't have to deal with something serious.

But Naegi's next comment takes her by surprise. ]

Oh? Are you learning self defense?

[luckybreaks]

Yeah, Hinata-kun agreed to help me out a little, and there are lessons offered around here, so...

[ He's leaning back into the couch cushions, turned to face Kirigiri even though his eyes have yet to adjust to the dark. ]

It's just, er, I sort of got knocked out a lot back at school, didn't I? It'd be kind of nice to be able to avoid that in the future.

[fittedgloves]

It's good that you're taking initiative. Learning how to fight will definitely benefit you in the long run. [ Especially here. ]

action;

[luckybreaks]

It at least makes me feel a bit more like I can help out...although it seems like a lot of the people here are fighters on Oogami-san's level or higher.

[ some of them are quite frankly terrifying. ]

action;

[fittedgloves]

It does, and they have powers to back up their skills as well.

[ Which, needless to say, was jarring at first. ]

[luckybreaks]

I don't think holding our own against them in a straight-out fight will ever be feasible, but hopefully that's never going to be a concern...

[ it will probably be a concern someday with his luck ]

...it is kinda interesting how many people have powers. I guess our own world is pretty "normal" comparatively, with that one exception aside. I don't think Hope's Peak exists elsewhere, from what I can tell.

[fittedgloves]

[ She shakes her head. ]

I don't believe it does either. The several people I have spoken with about Hope's Peak seem to find the school's purpose strange.

action;

[luckybreaks]

Same here. Actually, a few even thought it was a bad idea...

[ He pauses, here. It's...it's really not like they were WRONG...or at least Enoshima Junko found it easy to twist things... ]

I guess that's our "difference" for the most part. For the worlds more like our Earth, anyway. Right...?

action;

[fittedgloves]

Yes, I believe so. We seem to have most other things in common with those from Earth.

[ Most of them seem to be from around relatively the same time period too. ]

action;

[luckybreaks]

Not to mention a lot of people from Earth are from Japan...

[ Why is that? ]

action;

[fittedgloves]

That's true. I wonder if it's merely a coincidence, or there's a reason behind it...

action;

[luckybreaks]

I'm not sure. I thought it was kind of weird enough to notice...I just don't know what it means?

[ It's just an evidence bullet with nothing to shoot it at... ]

At what point does something become more than a coincidence?

action;

[fittedgloves]

It's hard to pinpoint when exactly it's no longer a coincidence. I suppose if we continue to see an increase in people from Japan it would be worth looking into at least.
