how odd it is to be back at startorch academy, after forty years. so much has changed during the time chisa was trapped in honami, making her feel a stranger once more in an academy she hardly recognizes. even if she'd only been a student for a couple of months before becoming trapped, she'd still managed to make it feel like home. but now, with decades missing from her life, it is difficult.
she finds it difficult connecting with fellow students ━ is not up-to-date, as she hears people call it, with current trends and whatever people think and do and talk about. she feels herself terribly out of the loop.
" um, lynae.. right? " chisa asks to gain the blonde's attention. she has seen the rover talk to @convened .. and, well, she figures a friend of the rover means they must be somewhat friendly, right? " sorry, i just heard your name from rover ", she clarifies, afraid she may come across as a creep. she feels awkward, unsure how to strike a conversation since.. well, what does she know what to talk about? anything she knows is either honami - based, or happened decades ago.
" i was wondering.. those are rollerskates, right? they seem so.. flashy ", she eventually says, her gaze lingering at the curious items. she remembers kids having used them back then ( it is still so odd to refer to her time as so far in the past, it messes with her ) but she doesn't remember them looking anything like lynae's do.
