[The girl on the computer answers in a very similar voice. Bit of a different tone, but still eerily similar.
Unlike the others, she never had a life before this place, and she's awfully accepting of things besides. Someone speaking to her from outside is nothing to be too shocked about. Although she does tilt her head curiously while addressing the voice (or Rei herself, if she can see her).]
no subject
Can you see me? I don't know if you can, but. . . if you can see me, or hear me, or both, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Hazama Rei.
no subject
[And Chiaki should be appearing on the computer screen herself, apparently focusing very intently on the girl who'd just appeared out of nowhere.]
......
Hazama... Rei-san...
[She's not someone she's ever heard of before. Why would she be contacting her?]
... I'm Nanami Chiaki. It's nice to meet you.
[She's clearly curious, but that's just the proper way to greet someone. She's sure Rei will explain. If she's outside of the system, she must have a good reason to come here.]
no subject
It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Nanami-san. [ She's being awfully polite, but that's only natural. She's always a little nervous when it comes to this part. It's been too long since she's acted normal around people, so she can't help it. ] Um, you-- you know Hajime, right?
Hinata Hajime.
no subject
Hinata-kun...?
[That's right, this girl is outside. Where Hinata is.]
Of course. ... Are you his friend?
[Hinata has so many friends. This is the first Chiaki has ever met outside the system, though!]
no subject
Not really. [ No, wait, that's bound to get bad misunderstandings, right? ] I-I mean, we're-
Um.
[ Why does she have to be the one to explain this... Hajime's the one who's better at that job. And it's more embarrassing when you're talking to someone who has a similar voice to your own. Swallowing hard, Rei attempts to catch herself, sighing. ]
Actually, Hajime, he... [ THIS IS TOO HARD. If she drags this out too long, there's definitely going to be a huge misunderstanding. And not the embarrassing kind. The bad kind, where people would think that she's a bad person. And while she is, she's changed?
Well, she's changed enough to the point where she's not doing evil schemes "for the one that I love" anymore. Unless those evil schemes included doing ridiculously kinky stuff, then yes, she's not doing that anymore. No more real life Rabbit Doubt. ] We're dating. I'm actually his girlfriend.
[ She's not looking at Chiaki directly as she says this, her cheeks completely flushed as she twirls a strand of hair idly around her index finger. ]
no subject
Oh...
[This... is an interesting feeling. She doesn't really fully understand the implications, but there's a little twinge of something in there? She doesn't think she likes it. It's been so long since she's been able to spend time with Hinata. Now this girl is calling him Hajime and saying she's his girlfriend?]
... Is he there too?
[She doesn't know quite how to process jealousy, so she tries her best to ignore it, focusing instead on the reasons why Rei would be here, talking to her.]
no subject
[ While she did promise herself that she'd find a way to get them— the others that 'died'— back, it wasn't easy. She wasn't a SHSL Hacker, so she had to get in contact with some people she knew in order to get to this point. ]
But I promised that I'd find you guys, so I'm glad I managed to find you. It took a while, but I did it. [ She sounds rather accomplished, smiling brightly on the screen as she clasps her hands together. ] Hajime, he-- He told me a lot about you. I think you're important to him. Or rather, there was something different about the way he talked about you compared to the others.
[ Her voice is soft, wistful even. But it's only for the shortest flicker of seconds before she tries to perk up again. ]
I've been staying on the island for a while, but... I think it's best to get to know each other first. You're the Super High School Level Gamer, right? Do you have a favorite game...?
[ FTE START, Rei is gonna try and get those Hope Fragments!!! ]
/finally gets back to this
... Wait, that's the plan, isn't it? Sneaky, Rei.Well, so much for that jealousy she was ignoring. She's disappointed that he's not there with this Rei girl, yes. But that part about Chiaki being important to him... that there was something different about her...
Maybe it was just because she is different from the others. But it still makes her happy to hear it. And puts her in a much better mood for this getting to know each other thing.]
Ah... yes.
I don't exactly have a favorite. There are a lot of games I like. Some of them are really different from each other, but a lot have things in common too.
... Did you know that the very first graphical RPGs and first-person shooters used to have really similar interfaces? But they've grown in different ways now. So no matter how different a game might look, they could have more in common than you think.
[Did Rei ask for an infodump? No. Did she get one? Hell yes.]
one million years later
Yes, that's clearly the plan...Rei's ears are definitely perked as she listens carefully. But at the very least, she tries to. It's not that she's disinterested, but it's kind of difficult for her to care much about most things. She's been trying to fix that, though! It's a slow process. ]
I didn't know that at all. Then again, I don't really play too many games.
no subject
Get it, Rei!]It's kind of amazing, how everything can be so different, but also similar. And even bad games have their own charm.
[She's curious about Rei's comment now, though.]
... There's all kinds of games, though. Not just video games, but board games and card games...
no subject
guess whose voice and RP energy finally came back from the war?
Is that game going to be "Maid"? /shot]Yeah... I'd like that a lot, Rei-san...
[Being stuck in a computer without Hinata anymore aside, she's getting very "I want to be friends" vibes from Rei. And that in itself is enough to make Chiaki smile.]
Ah... if you don't know much about games, I could help you learn more.
[Oh. Sudden thought.]
... What do you like to do, Rei-san?
no subject
I'd like that.
[ Ah, as for what she likes to do... well, that's kind of hard to say. ]
Cooking, I guess... ah, um. It's kind of hard to say what I like, though. I haven't liked doing things in a long time. [ For good reasons. ]
and another one that was buried deep in my inbox!
[It's an innocent, curious question. She has no idea what Rei could possibly mean.]
no subject
Because I wasn't a very good person. And I lost everything a long time ago. [ Her gaze shifts, almost guiltily. ] I mean-- it's different now, but it doesn't change the fact that I did some pretty bad things before.
