i dont know what the hell is going on here but i cant leave this stupid town.

theres this invisible wall or something thats keeping me in here.

but the local losers are moving in and out of this place just fine. what a load of crap. stupid big wigs and their heebie jeebie magic sparkles.

if anyone can get out of this dump, i need a favor. ill even pay u as a trade off for it.

"An invisible wall," you said. Does it hurt when you go up against it, or just feel like a barrier?

And-- why only you? Or have you noticed anyone else with the same issue?

[opheliac]

it doesnt hurt. it feels like im pressing my face against a door or a glass window. ive tried other ways out of this place and its the same thing. so a barrier sounds right.

thats what im asking. is this a chosen thing or a me thing, because the locals are waltzing out to the fields without a problem.

[izanagis]

I've seen other people coming and going, so whatever it is, I don't think it's affecting all of us.

When did you first notice it was happening? Did you see or feel anything else that was strange at the time?

[opheliac]

after i left city hall, i felt a lil woozy. so i have NO doubt in my mind the bastards got something to do with this.

[izanagis]

[...]

Why were you at city hall?

[opheliac]

jerry dragged me there.

[izanagis]

I see.

Are you being punished for something

[opheliac]

obviously if im the only one who cant leave here.
jerry's probably moody and he wants to take it out on someone else.

[izanagis]

Are you saying you haven't done anything you should be punished for?

[opheliac]

boy, i thought i need glasses.
i just wrote that didnt i?

[izanagis]

You said Jerry's probably moody, it's. Kind of not the same thing.

That's unusual, though. I'd expect this to come as a punishment for something.

[opheliac]

its whatever. lets talk about something else.

( before she dies from vomiting. )

what do u like to do for fun?

[izanagis]

[... That's an interesting question. Hm. What sort of answer should he give?

>A funny answer.
>A sarcastic answer.
>A nerdy answer.
>... Okay, a really nerdy answer]

I make paper cranes sometimes. It helps me think.

[opheliac]

is it hard to learn?

[izanagis]

Not very. I could show you if you want.

[opheliac]

ok. how about tomorrow?
today is... a lot. and i have to think things over.

[izanagis]

Got it. Tomorrow.
Get some rest, alright?

[opheliac]

no promises, yu-yu! staying put gets boring after 10 seconds. 🐵

[izanagis]

That's fair. Who knew doing nothing could be so hard?

[opheliac]

people with small brains with no creativity do nothing.

[izanagis]

I'm guessing that means you have trouble with it, too.

[Which must make it even harder, having to stay in one place. oof.]

[opheliac]

yep! i need to do something. even if its sitting and coloring. my hands are busy. a fact u now know about jinx!

[izanagis]

I feel so informed.

Coloring, huh? You seem to have a lot of hobbies.

[opheliac]

thats because im an interesting person. not some stuffy old geezer.

[izanagis]

I don't think anyone could mistake you for a stuffy old geezer.
