Um...

[ Oooh fuck. He fucked up, didn't he? He somehow misunderstood all of this and now Katsuki thought he was crazy or something. Denki looks a lot more nervous, fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.

...until the other man mentions a near death experience. ]

Y-yeah. I was hit by lightning when I was ten. Should have died instantly, but this lightning animal thought I was a good home.

[callmekacchan]

[Katsuki studies him a moment and then sighs.]

Kitsune. My possession. And there is a support group for it. Meets bi-monthly. There's several of us. But not everyone on the app is possessed.

[He drops his head back against the couch. He can't believe he knew someone possessed even before all the bullshit...]

...okay. Before we keep talking, if you have questions, better ask 'em. I want to make sure we're on the same page here.

[twomillionvolts]

Kitsune? No wonder it's fire stuff, then...

[ He did do his research after getting 'Bolt', but almost all kids have a yokai phase back home. ]

There's really a support group? ...and other things than having creatures inside?

[ Okay, okay. This is a lot to take in. ]

Kacchan I don't even know where to start. How long have you had yours? Is it hurting you?

[callmekacchan]

Yeah there's a support group. If you want to go I'll take you. My friend's sister runs it.

[There has only been one meeting so far and Katsuki lurked near the wall and ignored most people.]

Yeah there's more. People gaining magic powers, features changing... [Here he indicates his eyes which have gone from brown to red since the last time Denki saw him.] Getting memories from what Zodiac seems to think are past lives.

[The other two questions get a pause before he hesitantly answers.]

I don't think I could have been older than four or five. Fell in a river. Heard a voice asking if I wanted to live and... yeah. Been with me ever since. It feeds on my energy. Y'know... my 'asthma'? That's really the kitsune wearing me out because it's chowing down on my energy.

[twomillionvolts]

Yeah... it would be pretty good to meet more people like us.

[ He leans in a bit when Katsuki gestures to his eyes, and gasps. That looked so cool! Weird, but cool. ]

Past lives. Like reincarnation stuff? And what's Zodiac?

[ Denki is so full of questions and so distracted by everything at the same time. It's a lot to dump on him and he can't believe he's been friends with someone who has had his same problem this whole time! ]

Oooh. Oh man. I guess my raiju is the opposite... it stores all its lightning energy in me and sometimes it just makes me overload. The seizure issue? All because of that.

[callmekacchan]

Zodiac are the corporate bastards who made the app. We'll get onto all their many shady behaviors later. But suffice to say we all fucking hate them and you can't trust them.

[Katsuki both feels like he's saying too much in one sitting and also like he still has so much to catch Denki up on?]

Yeah. Like reincarnation. It's... shit. The more I talk the more I realize how batshit insane my life has gotten... let me know if you need a break.

[twomillionvolts]

Honestly I'm still trying to make sense of everything. Like, I'm not fully convinced I didn't just accidentally eat an edible and I'm majorly fucked up.

[ Denki rubs his temples a little, and sighs. Reaching for the pizza slice again, he actually puts it in his mouth this time, eating it. ]

So there's people with magic powers, and people like us... and they've just been hidden all over the world? Then suddenly there's enough here to make a support group for one issue?

[callmekacchan]

There's still so much shit I haven't even gotten to yet. I'm glad you're not freaking out and accusing me of being nuts though.

[But he knew he had to at least give it a try telling him. Preparing him.]

It kind of feels like we're all being drawn here for some reason, right? All these people with ties to the supernatural. And then we have... everyone has been calling them Issekais because... yeah. It's exactly what it sounds like. People being dropped here in Kaisou from other worlds.

[twomillionvolts]

I'm pretty sure I'm internally freaking out, man. I can't call you nuts, that's pot and kettle, but... wow. It's a mess.

[ Denki sighs and finishes his slice, leaning back against the couch. His heart is thudding in his chest and he's not really sure how to handle this. ]

I guess I can see people being 'drawn' here... I can't believe there's a whole community, but...

[ Then the 'isekai' comment lands and the faux-blonde just stares at Katsuki. ]

...dude, no way.

[callmekacchan]

Tell me about it. Life has been getting steadily weirder each month. I'm barely scraping the surface of what's been going on.

[Months of magical bullshit, all piled up...]

That's where you draw the line in all this? The issekais?

[twomillionvolts]

Aw come on, Kacchan! Magic and mythology is one thing when you've pretty much lived with it for a decade, people dropping in from other worlds is definitely extra weird! What is this, the multiverse??

[ Denki protests, waving his hands a bit in disbelief. What the heck was even going on, here? ]

[callmekacchan]

No idea. Could be tied into the people getting memories of past lives? Supposedly they're past lives from other worlds.

[He finally sits back up and grabs his pizza slice.]

You should consider letting me show you this month's gate. The one we have right now is just a weird library. Seems pretty safe. It'll give you an idea what you're getting into.

[twomillionvolts]

I feel like I need a drink and I don't even drink outside of parties.

[ It's a lot to deal with. ]

There's seriously a gate to a spirit realm right now? Oh man, I wanna see that but I also definitely don't want to die. Unless Bolt makes it discharge time I pretty much have no offensive magic stuff, and that's a big stretch since it knocks me the heck out.

[callmekacchan]

You'd be with me. You think I'm gonna let you die? I'm suggesting you go in this one because it's safer. Not all of them are. But if shit does go down, I can fight.

[He's decidedly not concerned about that part.]

[twomillionvolts]

Okay, okay. That's fair, you've always been a brave guy.

[ Denki isn't, he'd made peace with that long ago. ]

What do you mean with weird library, though? Are the books talking or something? Ghost librarians?

[callmekacchan]

Supposedly... it's the Library of Alexandria. And yeah, there are ghosts in the records room. And... other things guarding other rooms. But they just seem to be protecting the rooms. I doubt they'll do anything unless we do something we shouldn't. They haven't bothered us so far in there.

[twomillionvolts]

[ His jaw falls at that and Denki stands up, grabbing Katsuki's arm. ]

THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA? Oh my god, take me! Kachaaaaan~!

[ Things people forget about Denki the doofus - he's a literature fan. ]

[callmekacchan]

[Katsuki makes a scrunched up face.]

Stop yelling, damnit!! I'm right beside you! I said I would, didn't I? We just have to choose a time when we're both free.

[twomillionvolts]

Shit, yeah. Sorry.

[ He slides off of the other blonde and sits down again. ]

Wow, this is the weirdest day in my life since getting stuck with the thunder puppy. I knew there was something about you.

[ Denki grins, giving a little finger gun. ]

As for times when we're both free, Murphy-sensei gives me flexible hours so I can be ready whenever.

[ He lives on top of the repair shop, in one of the two apartments there - his boss in the other. It's pretty damn perfect, in Denki's opinion. No commuting. ]

[callmekacchan]

It's only going to get weirder. Fair warning. But this month really is the tamest I've seen. Almost feels like a calm before the storm.

[Which, given what he dealt with last month is... ominous to say the least.]

We'll go tomorrow. Tonight you wanted to party right? I'm bringing a plus one.

[Not asking if that's cool. He's just gonna do what he wants as usual. He grabs his phone to text Yoosung. He hasn't even told Denki he picked up a boyfriend while he was gone...]

[twomillionvolts]

Great. I'm terrible with storms.

[ Figuratively and literally.

...then Katsuki mentions the party and that grin grows even brighter. Right, he forgot all about that in the middle of the sudden crisis of his supernatural problem being more common than he thought - and that isekai are now a real thing. ]

Oh yeah! Totally bring a friend, dude. It's another start of school party, nothing serious. Who is it, do I know them?

[callmekacchan]

His name's Yoosung.

[He doesn't even bother to look up from his phone as he drops another bomb on Denki. Casually.]

He's my boyfriend.

[twomillionvolts]

[ Boyfriend.

...did you not think he was gonna grab you and shake you around after that, Katsuki? ]

KACCHAN YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME??? [ How could you? ] Oh man you have a boyfriend and I'm still single, how is this happening? Is he nice? Shit, of course he is or you wouldn't bother. Unless he's your level of grumpy? Is he hot?

[ He's babbling a little. ]

I'm never leaving for Japan again, I missed everything.

1/2

[callmekacchan]

GODDAMN IT! STOP SHAKING ME AND YELLING!!

[And of course Katsuki blows up.]

2/2

[callmekacchan]

It just happened. Earlier this month. So calm the fuck down.

[That is a lot of babbling there, Denki.]

You can meet him tonight if he comes along. He's... really sweet.

[They couldn't be any more different.]

You shake him like that and I'll kick your ass.
