[It's around morning when all SFCs in Vatheon get the following text message:]

Hello Vatheon residents. My name's Orihara Izaya~. I'm a resident in Larmline Apartments and I live in the penthouse at the top. If any of you know anything about the penthouse, you'd know that it has four bedrooms.

I, unfortunately, am only one man.

So-oh! I'm looking for a roomie~!!!

But of course since you'll be living me I won't be accepting just annnnyone.

If you're interested, please respond~! Or stop by and I can interview you or something to see if we're a good fit! I might take on two roommates if there's just too many perfect people for me to decide between.

Bye bye bii!! ☆

[Now, it's up to your character whether or not they want to stop by in person or call Izaya back on the offer. We can always go from SFC communication to action. Any way works for me.]

[Something about that particular sentence....It makes Izaya stiffen and his eyes widen.]

Is that right?

[He looks down at the box, sliding his finger over the lid. Distractions. That's right, distractions were good.]

What was it like?

[He removes his finger from the box before he shakes his head to Ion.]

I don't use the coral unless I have to. I don't like depending on that sort of thing when I don't know what it's actually doing to my body, to my mind. And I don't really trust Vatheon enough to give it any reason to make me in debt to it just because it saved my life or stopped blood flow.

You shouldn't depend so much on religion. Maybe in your world it isn't so- but from where I come from, religion was just a fictitious way of giving humans hope of some sort of pleasant afterlife so that death didn't seem so scary. It was a way that they could accept death without truly accepting what death entails. So what was your religion like? I've learned by now that some worlds, their religion and their gods were as real as they are. Not fairy tales. But reality.

What was it like...?

[Involuntarily, he starts to remember it. All of the light fades from Ion's eyes.]

I fell apart into nothingness. There was no pain, no pleasure, no light or darkness or even time... only nothing.

[He manages to pull himself out of it, a light sheen of sweat covering his face.]

Our religion is not about the afterlife. It simply is about the story of the planet and the planet's memories - what was, what is, and what will be. The Score is the history of the planet from its birth to its end, and the Order of Lorelei reads the Score to the people.

[For a frigid moment, Izaya's not entirely sure what to do with that answer.

But then he calmly reassessed the situation: they were in Vatheon. The land of the undying practically and he didn't need to worry about that.

Though a voice at the back of his head wondered what if he were to go back home? What then? But all worlds were different- so he couldn't hold faith to just this one experience.

So he's just going to nod slowly to this answer and instead focus on the later part. Although he does lean over the desk, pulling his sleeve up over his own hand somewhat to pat at Ion's face.]

You're sweating. It's fine, nn? You're not dead anymore.

[And then he lowers his hand.]

Yeah, but is your religion reality? Truth? I know plenty of religion tries to set up how the world was created and all of that. That's basic religion. But I come from a world with several religions and all of them just childish theories when you got down to it. You use the word history. Is there proof of your world having come into existence through the way your religion states?

[Not that it's important but Izaya is curious.]

[fonmaster]

[Ion seems grateful for the contact, it reminds him that he's really here. Izaya's attitude about religion is a little surprising to him, though.]

You don't have a Score in your world, then? The proof of the Score is in the fact that it knows what will happen in the future, not just what has happened. I would like to believe that it's one of many possible futures and that the whole story of the planet isn't set in stone, but the Score is extremely accurate. Even those who disregard it and never have it read act according to it.
