Infinite Questions / UN: Konpeito_Oni

[Oda has ALL the questions. He's not sure whether a written list or just pure babbling is better!]

[No one else is making formal introductions on the network, but it does FEEL wrong!]

[Like the wearing shoes inside thing!]

[Finally he settles on video so he can start off with a haughty bow. How do you stay arrogant while bowing? THIS GUY!]


I'm Oda Nobunaga, Demon King of the 6th Heaven! I have some questions for all of you:

[How ominous!]

What is your favorite piece of technology from home or here?
What are the best well-known sports of your time? Does anyone sumo wrestle? Is shooting guns a sport yet? Can I place bets on Mitsuhide out-shooting everyone else?
What are your thoughts on the government here and at home?
What is the candy like where you're from, and have you tried new ones here, how is it?
What jobs did you have in your world? Do they transition well to Avalon?
What is the weirdest law, either here or from your world you know of?
What is the weirdest thing to you about this place? -- For me, it's that there are restaurants indoors that don't make you remove your shoes!
Does anyone play Go? Is anyone willing to learn? Can someone please teach me cards?
Does anyone come from a time that still uses caste systems, and for everyone that doesn't; how were they abolished?
What is your favorite music, song, and dance of this world or your own?
Does anyone else have an oni or kitsune familiar? How many people even know what those are? And how many people come from worlds that had them for real?
What's the weirdest and cutest animal you've ever seen? Was it here or somewhere else?
What is considered a luxury in your world, and do you indulge, abstain, or simply have different preferences?
Have you ever had konpeito?

[He doesn't seem to run out of breath OR questions. So the network is just rescued when the post times out and automatically posts it.]

Yes. I do like how they include nature with all their buildings, and the first magic type I had was animal, so I can understand my two other dogs. But I still miss the world I was in before. I was actually planning to settle down there since we were given the option.

Being miserable wouldn't solve anything, though, so I'm making the best of things while this lasts. I even have two of my friends from the previous world here with me.

[Not that it was difficult for someone as sweet as Nyuu to make new friends, but having some familiar faces around certainly helped to put her and Lucy at ease much faster.]

I lived in the city of Kamakura with my friends in a big house.

[She's not sure if that's what they called it in his time, but she can't recall any other names it might have had.]

It was quiet and peaceful, at least for me. I had lived a sheltered life among my friends, but for Lucy, she had a much more difficult time.

[Guess now is the best time to tell him about her split personality.]

I didn't experience it as much as she did, but in our world, there is great prejudice towards horned beings like us. Lucy told me there's even an organization that actively hunts our kind down.

N-Nobunaga-sama...

[She'll get back to talking about Lucy in a moment. For now, she's sure glad that none of that wrath is being directed towards her. She was right in thinking that the Demon King would be scary if angered. Yet at the same time, she's surprised by his reaction. Because of how her world's history portrayed Nobunaga, she hadn't been expecting much sympathy or any kind of emotional reaction from him. But here he was, getting furious for her sake (and Lucy's indirectly).]

N-no. At least I don't think there is? I haven't had any troubles with the locals so far. I've been able to show my horns openly here, unlike back in my world where I had to hide them with bows. A-anyway, this Lucy I mentioned earlier... You may not understand some of the wording I'm about to use, but I'll do my best to explain.

[Here it goes. Turning on the privacy settings.]

Have you ever heard of two minds residing within one body? Or of split personalities? That's what Lucy is. She is the other mind that shares this body, my other half. In fact, she's also the original personality... I came after.

[And that is why she made this private. Anyone who has contact with the girls often will know that they have a split personality, so that's not the topic that's worth making this private. What is, is the fact that Lucy is the original, because not everyone knows.]

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-04-22 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, please. Although we share the same body and face, I do see myself as my own person with my own feelings and thoughts.

[Although, there have been times when her and Lucy's feelings matched, such as their feelings for Kouta, and then Noiz.]

I'm afraid I can't control the personality switches, but you'll know the difference between me and her right away I'm sure. She... can come off as cold, which is why I wish to take the opportunity to apologize for her actions and words right now.

[Nyuu bows deeply.]

I can't control Lucy's actions either. We can't even remember what happens while the other is in control, but don't worry. [Lifts her head up.] We write to each other to fill in the information gap, so even though Lucy won't remember this conversation, I'll be telling her about it through our notes.

When you put it like that, it does sound strange.

[Of course, she's only just met Mitsuhide, but based off what she's seen so far, that would still be weird.

Nyuu has her reasons for feeling guilty over certain past actions done by Lucy, ones that cut much deeper than what she had just shared with Nobunaga. Today, though, Nyuu is having a good day, so the soft smile returns to her face.

Who knows, maybe--should you decide to see the opera performance--it will be her on stage the day you attend. One of our common interests is opera, and I've been told Lucy can sing just as well as I can.

Oh no, the personality switches don't tend to happen that abruptly [unless Nyuu's life is in danger], though they have become more sporadic ever since we were taken from our world. Why? I haven't been able to figure out an answer, but on the other hand, I'm glad Lucy can have opportunities to enjoy things too.

[Lucy experiencing new, positive things is always good, Nyuu believes.]

Ah, one more thing about opera, Nobunaga-sama. The protocol for audience members is to dress formally. It doesn't have to be too fancy, just something nice.

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-04-28 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I look forward to seeing you after the performance then, Nobunaga-sama. Or, if it's not me who's in control next time, I look forward to reading what Lucy wrote regarding your thoughts of it. Hopefully it will be good things.

[She's remembering that saying about the cuckoo...]

I wouldn't mind seeing your kenbu songs and dances myself someday. I don't think I ever got see any in my world.
scarredhorns: (Lucy can blush too)

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-04-28 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately, Nyuu's mind automatically thinks of the modern term of intimate. However, she thankfully doesn't spazz about it aloud. She does blush in embarrassment, though.]

I hope that by intimate you mean no public audience. I-I already have feelings for someone else.

[Except it's complicated. Noiz returns Lucy's feelings of love, but he still only sees Nyuu as a friend despite her sharing Lucy's feelings about him. Still, Nyuu understands that she can't guilt him into loving her, so she's hoping that it will happen naturally as she interacts with him more.]
scarredhorns: (Nyuu#embarrassed)

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-04-29 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Nyuu blushes even more, but she also smiles sheepishly.]

Oh dear, now I'm embarrassed that I got the wrong idea. I apologize, Nobunaga-sama. In the future, when most people hear "intimate," they tend to think of the romantic kind before any other definition.

[Just another one of those differences between the times.]

I was unaware of that until you told me.

[Although Nyuu's learned a lot ever since she and Lucy were taken from their world, her amnesia still gets in the way sometimes in terms of what most people may or may not know. Nyuu can't remember Lucy's lessons from when she was at elementary and middle school age.]

They get along great with Lucy.

[She can say that without any bitterness in her voice, even though she does feel a teeny bit of jealousy. While Nyuu is normally quick to open to others, this is something that she actually does refrain from going into great detail unless it's with someone she's close to. After the roller coaster of a ride that led up to her realizing her feelings for Noiz, it's still a rather sensitive topic for Nyuu.]
scarredhorns: (I don't think you should do that)

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-05-02 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[OH NO! He's asking about it! How should she respond? First, a small smile appears on her lips.]

We've actually been asked about being twin sisters when people meet the other personality before we're able to explain our situation.

[Then she becomes more thoughtful as she considers her words before saying anything aloud, pressing her lips into a thin line.]

I really am happy for her, but it's also... complicated.
scarredhorns: (Nyuu#grave)

[personal profile] scarredhorns 2021-05-02 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
That does sound complicated, I'd say it's even more complicated than what I'm currently going through.

[The private settings are already on, and since Nobunaga shared this bit of information with her, Nyuu feels as though she can give away a few details.]

With me and Lucy... He returns Lucy's feelings, but with me--we're just friends.

[She droops slightly.]

I don't want to directly confront him about it out of fear of being seen as a brat, and I think that would only push him away more. If nothing else, I'd still like to keep his friendship, but of course I'm hoping for something more to eventually happen. In the previous world, Lucy spent the most time with him compared to me, so with that in mind, it's not too surprising that this difference happened.
