etudes | 002 ♫ voice

Good day, everyone.

[ Kotomi's voice is.. practically the same as usual, aka very monotone and blank, no matter what she's speaking about. At least she's apparently social enough today to actually use the journal to make a post.. ]

I have two important questions to everyone. I couldn't find the answers in books, so I thought maybe someone else would be able to tell me instead.. I tried to look all over for books about it, but couldn't find anything. [ There's maybe the sliightest hint of disappointment in her tone at it. ]

The first would be any more information about "tsundere".. I heard it means someone acts tough and doesn't think they need anything more, but.. any more information would be nice, too.

[ This is clearly important. ]

And secondly, what kind of stories does everyone like..? [ totally not asking in relation to a certain someone, nope. ] I wonder if there's some sort of story that could be fun for everyone, no matter who reads it. Doesn't that sound like it'd be wonderful?

[ After that there's just.. a long pause.. apparently she forgot to turn off her journal after she was done in her obliviousness. ]

Then poke him in the side.

[ oh, this is something to more consider.. :|b ]

What would that do, poking him in the side..?

It'd probably disable most punches, too. It's kind of like a switch that makes people jump and interrupts what they're doing.

[ Teaching someone to poke the tickle spot of people as a weapon is a good use of her knowledge. ]

I don't think Ikki-kun would punch me though, probably.. Smoker-kun said I'm Ikki-kun's treasure, and you don't punch those, right?

[ Well normal people don't. ]

Probably not, but you should still try the poking thing.

If you say so, I'll try it next time, just to be sure..

Thank you very much for your help.

No problem!

I'm Yuri Nakamura, by the way.

Yuri-chan, is it..

My name is Kotomi Ichinose. [ except Kotomi's introduction sounds much more.. mechanized, as if it's something that has been repeated before in the same exact form.. ] You spell Kotomi with three wonderful hiragana. I'm a senior from class A back home, and my hobby is reading. It would be really wonderful if we could become friends. When refering to me, please call me 'Kotomi-chan'.

...Right, Kotomi it is. [ Yuri thought that was kinda weird, but moving right along. ] If anyone calls me Yurippe that's me too. Since you're calling me Yuri-chan I shouldn't get confused with the guy at least, so you can call me that if you want.

[ ... You called her 'Kotomi' instead of 'Kotomi-chan', Yuri.. do you know what happens when you don't call her Kotomi-chan?

Yup, she doesn't even hear what you're saying. It's not even ignoring, her brain just completely filters it out. So she's just sitting there as if Yuri didn't reply at all, quietly.. ]

[ Waves hand back and forth. ] Hello?

[ Nope, still nothing. It's very likely she just left her journal open there and took out a book to read while she's sitting next to it.. ]

Kotomi?

[ What. The Hell. Is she getting ignored? ]

...-chan?

[ ... Oh, someone is talking to her! Now she grabs the journal again, as if that pause just now didn't happen at all. ]

What is it, Yuri-chan?

You seriously won't respond unless I call you Kotomi-chan? What about Tomi-chan?

Huh? ... What do you mean, 'don't respond'..? [ she's oblivious to it, Yuri!! ]

You just zoned out there, Tomi-chan. [ She's experimenting. ]

[ DOESN'T WORK. aka she's zoning out again, as if Yuri didn't even speak up.. ]

You just zoned out there, Kotomi-chan.

Huh? What zone did I go out of..?

[ taking it literally too, yup. ]

You're either intentionally ignoring people when they don't call you Kotomi-chan or you really can't hear it. I'm guessing the first since the second is just stupid.

Why would I ignore people? That's something only a bully would do, and I'm not a bully at all..

[ she actually seems a little genuinely sad over it. ]

Koko-tomi-chan.

[ BACK TO NOT NOTICING DARNIT YURI. ]

Ah, Kotomi-chan's ignoring me like a bully...

[ Yuri is actually kind of finding this hilarious. ]
