[OPEN] fastforwarded to december 1. open house!!

[overstrain]

[ On December 1st, Hirajiro's residential district goes through a minor change, which is having Terry's two-story house appear right next to the Black Cat house. With Orien's help, Terry bought the land that the house sits on. Anyway, the house has two floors. The entire first floor has a living room, kitchen, and a bathroom with sink, toilet, and shower. When you climb up the stairs, you'll reach the second floor, which has four bedrooms with a bathroom connecting two bedrooms together. The bathrooms can be locked from the inside only. There is no master bedroom nor bathroom in this house. One of the rooms are soundproof, but Terry is not telling anyone which one it is. You'll have to find that out for yourself. AC and heater are fully functional.

Terry sent out a message to all the Guests. For those who don't have phones, Orien personally delivered the message to those people himself. The message is as follows:

We solved the housing situation. Terry will not ask anyone to pay rent, but the house isn't furnished at all except for a refrigerator and a fireplace. You'll have to buy supplies and furniture on your own. There are several conditions you need to accept if you choose to live here:

1) Please do not destroy the house or cause property damage. If you do, you're paying for the damages.
2) Clean up after yourselves. A clean house means no bugs and good standard of living.
3) Do not steal/take anything from the Black Cat house. (this needs to be mentioned because he had several door stealing incidents)

The address/general directions to the location has been mentioned, which is basically next door to the Black Cat house.

Feel free to make your own top levels and stuff. ]

No, it's physics.

[Toki considers time travel and any other theoretical math/science things possible, only the equations haven't been discovered yet. Magic is something else entirely. His world was full of hidden supernatural things he hadn't known about. They are separate concepts to him.]

[overstrain]

What if someone controls that without any use of machines, nya? Would that be magic?

[ Since he knows someone who does... ]

[yokeye]

Physics is about inherent forces and things and not machines and we don't use all of our brainpower or know everything about our environment, so I don't think the manipulation of time or the perceived manipulation of time as a non-mechanical endeavor is implausible or should be considered magic because you can never know what we're all actually capable of!

[It's said in one breath and Toki seems completely confident of all of this.]

[overstrain]

[ Terry's eyes feels like they're spinning right now. That was way too many "big words" said all in one go and he's trying very hard to process this. ]

... Back in my home world or whatever, there was a person who was like... the personified concept of time and controlled it however she wanted, nya. Maybe they just... work differently depending on the world, nya?

[reveilation]

[ Kido comes back with a pad of paper and a pen. ]

Tokidoki's smarter than you, Terry. I'd trust him on the science.

[ Magic and physics are the exact same thing when she's never gone to school, so whatever. ]

[overstrain]

I know that, nya!

[ omfg. He's never gone to school for educational purposes either. Leave him alone.

But he takes those and starts drawing a diagram of some sort. It'll take him a while... ]

[yokeye]

[Toki stares at Kido in disbelief.]

You think I'm smart, Hana-chan?

[Or is she making fun of Terry...]

[reveilation]

Yeah? You explained schematics to Red, right? And back when we were trying to put out the fire at the lake, you were telling me about how it could be a flammable liquid on top of the water. You knew what to test the water and the soil from the forest for too.

[ He's smart? But he's also like this, so who knows. ]

[yokeye]

[He did explain that, though it was the wrong time for it.]

Those were good ideas!

[And he will continue to contribute similar ones, because they're at least being acknowledged.]

[reveilation]

Yeah, they were. Keep giving us those good ideas.

[ She had no idea what any of it meant, but you say something with enough confidence and people will believe you. She'll just do her best in screening good ideas from horribly bad ones. ]

[yokeye]

Maybe? I don't know how things work here, so I could be completely wrong~!

[He could have been completely wrong in his world too, but he will never know. As long as he believes it, it will come out with confidence.]

[overstrain]

... It sounds right, so we can note that down, nya.

[ He'll make quick notes of what Toki said, pausing every now and then to try and remember the specific words he used. ]

I've never gone to school anyway, nya...

[ He thinks he can't pinpoint that sort of thing here anyway; it'll probably be blocked off again. ]
