backdated to sunday, text.

[Text is easier, Ken figures. It gives him time to read back over what he's written, double-check for typos, look a couple things up in his dictionary and make sure it's translating right, and generally put on enough polish to not sound like an eleven-year-old who's been in the country for all of two days.]

I used to go to the shrine every day back home. I don't think they're very common in America, but it seems like there are a lot of Japanese students here.

Is there anything like that on the school grounds? Or just a quiet enough place to go would be okay, too. I don't want to stop just because I moved.

yours is a name that's come up a lot recently in talks with other Japanese capes. you made a big splash and a lot of people nervous.

[shiroganeheir]

Why have I been making people nervous?

I realize I made a splash, but I did not realize the rest.

[musou_tensei]

dont let it get to you. I made people nervous, too. have you gotten a formal request to register yet?

[shiroganeheir]

If I have, my grandfather likely burned it. He does not take kindly to such things.

At the very least, he has not informed me of it.

[musou_tensei]

consider this empathy in advance. as soon as I started working, I had letters from the diet almost monthly. assuming you plan to go back to japan after you're done here, of course.

[shiroganeheir]

Yes, I do intend to go back. I never wished to leave.

The diet can go hang. The Shirogane family have been detectives for longer than the diet has existed.

[musou_tensei]

good. thats the right attitude to have. youre already doing better at this age than I was.

[shiroganeheir]

I do not mean to cover up who I am, even though I am attempting to come to terms with it.

However, I need not be on a list so someone can feel better about themselves. I can be trusted to not misuse what power I have.

[musou_tensei]

less about covering up and more about not letting other people dictate who you are and how you are meant to be.

[shiroganeheir]

There is already too damn much of that in the world.

[musou_tensei]

exactly.

anyways, i'll leave you to the new kid. he seems to have taken a shine to you.

[Do you guys have like. Superhero meetings in secret bases to talk about this stuff.

That's cool. He's so stalking this.]

[musou_tensei]

-He's totally had drinks with Sunfire and the Silver Samurai, kid. Be awed.-

[stophamatime]

[Tell him these stories and he will leave you like five bags of chips at your shrine.]

[musou_tensei]

-wow, big spender, Ken.-

[stophamatime]

[Look, he's still young enough to think of buying a gashapon capsule as splurging. Talk to him when he gets a job.]
