[Well, it took Ginko awhile to find the laptop and a bit longer to figure out how to use it, but eventually he managed, so here's a brand new color handle on the forum.]

hello
i'm not entirely certain i am doing this correctly
but if other people can see this, my name is ginko

i had a question, for anyone who cares to answer
have you ever heard of creatures called mushi?
some of the phenomena i have heard about in this town bear similarities with ones from my own home, ones that are caused by these beings
i would be curious to know if they ring familiar to anyone else

in that vein, i'd like to investigate the surrounding forest, but i've been warned against doing so alone
if anyone should care to accompany me, i would appreciate it

finally, i was told i should speak with a midoriya and a maya amano for further details about our situation
if anyone knows where i can find them, or how best to contact them, please let me know

thank you

Welcome!

I've never heard of them specifically, but what sort of phenomena do they cause?

[tenthousandmiles]

an incredible variety of them
they are as much a part of nature as any other living thing, and as such some are crucial to the balance of nature -- phenomena such as the rain and the turning of the seasons
others, however, are more troublesome
there are mushi that can enter a person's mind and manifest what's there as reality
others that can change the nature of life it comes into contact with
i've even seen mushi that connected individuals to entirely different dimensions

[One of those cases even involved a girl who had fallen into a well. That would be a hell of a coincidence, he thinks.]

[tendershepherd]

Huh...they sound kinda like the seraphim from my world.

[He's learned this is true for a number of different worlds.]

So, you think some of these mushi came here with you?

[tenthousandmiles]

[See, he's not 100% convinced he's left his world.]

hm...what are seraphim?
perhaps they are different names for the same manner of lifeform

[After all, for all his wandering, he's never left Japan.]

typically, strange occurrences like our current circumstances are connected to mushi
some imbalance in nature, generally

[tendershepherd]

Seraphim are a type of spirit in my world. They're like natural elements incarnate and some humans in the past revered them as gods. They're usually connected to various natural phenomena and are only visible if you have a certain amount of resonance.

I've always had high resonance, so I've been able to interact with seraphim since I was little. My best friend is one, actually.

[Sorry, he tends to gush about subjects he knows a lot about.]

Hm...that sounds kinda like malevolence. Malevolence in my world is something like an imbalance too. [That's a light way of putting it.]

I've actually sensed malevolence in this town for a while...maybe that's what you're picking up?
