Hi everyone! This is Riku Nanase!

I know we've all been worried about everything going on, but even though it's important to find a cure, thinking about something else for a little while might bring our spirits up. > <

So I wanted to ask if anyone who showed up here in the first group (3 months ago) had anyone they know come here last month! And if any of you did, did they say you'd been missing?

When my brother and another friend of ours showed up last month, even though I'd already been gone for two months, they told me they didn't realize I was missing at all! So whether it's magic or time working differently or something, unless it's just me, we might not have to worry about everyone back home thinking we've been gone for months!

Being here isn't always easy, but if that's true, then it makes me feel a lot better. So I hope it helps make some of you feel better too! We're supposed to be staying positive, so even if it's hard, let's try to think about good things like this!!!

wellyeah i have friends

uh

sure yeah

[Friend... get... ?]

[doublesharp]

Sorry, was that too out of nowhere? I think it's important to be on good terms with everyone, since we're a community!

[Izuku's reminded a little of his classmate Tsuyu, who had asked to use first names fairly quickly after they met. And Riku's so friendly, too...

Part of him's still embarrassed by the quick transition, but he's also... excited? He's never really been close enough to people to make that jump to first names before.]

If you really want to!

It'd be helpful if there was at least some record of the town's residents before us...there had to have been people here before, you know?

[doublesharp]

You mean the skeletons? It's hard to think about what must have happened to them... > <

But if there were records, wouldn't we have found them already? Maybe we should check the libraries more and see if we can find anything that isn't fairy tales.

[On the other hand, using first names with people around his age is completely natural to Riku. So while someone more reserved would probably think twice before asking to use someone's first name, he doesn't find anything strange about it at all. They're friends, so it's normal!]

Then! Izuku-kun!!!!!

[satanslash]

lol nah i had someone say she was gonna be my friend two minutes after meeting her

we're like bffs now

[doublesharp]

That sounds like someone I know too!! We're really lucky that so many friendly people are here!

[tendershepherd]

[Record scratch.]

Wait, wait, hold on a second, skeletons??

[This is the first time he's hearing about that! As far as he knew there weren't any remains of anyone in the town!]

When and where did you find skeletons??? Archaeological remains like that are actually a kind of record too!

[doublesharp]

[Oh, uh. Oops?]

Yeah... uh, when the first group of us got here, there were literal skeletons in the closets and stuff > <

We had to clean all of them out before we could live where we do now. So we buried a bunch of them out in the forest.

[satanslash]

it does make things a lot easier to deal with

i miss my friends from home a lot but im glad ive made new friends here

[tendershepherd]

Weird...I was there for all that, but the house I live in was destroyed at the time so there weren't any closets for me to look in...

[He's torn between being thankful for that and being disappointed.]

They were just tossed all together in the same grave?

[If that was the case, then they wouldn't be as much use as they might've been. Alas.]

[doublesharp]

Wait, destroyed? Does that mean you had to rebuild the whole thing?

I didn't bury any of them on my own, but I think they're kind of all over. Some of them have "gravestones" and others don't. Or at least I think so.

You should try asking Midoriya-kun about it.

[tendershepherd]

No, not exactly. I think it was a punishment for not cleaning as much as it wanted me to. I did spend time trying to dig stuff out and assess the damage with my housemates, but after about a week or so it weirdly...unbroke?

[As if it hadn't ever fallen apart in the first place.]

I see...I'll do that then. Thanks for the info!
