<sub>[ Lord knows why you're asking for the opinion of someone who would almost preferred to be dressed as a giant unicorn cat. No, really. As it is, his shirt has long, tattered strips curling around him, so his fashion sense is, at the least, questionable. But he does pull it off nicely, perhaps?

Yogi jumped a bit when he was addressed, looking around for the voice and finally seeming to notice it had come from Chuuya. At which point his face morphed into something between delighted and embarrassed that someone was speaking with him. ]</sub>

It looks great on you, Mister! Spectacular! You should buy it!

[mrfancyhat]

[Now that's the kind of reaction he likes! Chuuya knows the hat looks good on him. If that shitty Dazai ever got here, Chuuya already planned on telling him someone said this hat looks spectacular on him, and rub it in that asshole's face!]

Ha! You're right. I should buy it! [So smug.] Not doing so would be a disgrace!

[For a moment he wondered if he should be taking compliments so easily from someone with Yogi's look, but is too busy feeling more pleased with himself than he probably should.]

It's nice to know that there really are people who know good taste when they see it.

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ He looked much better in his Circus gear, really! Well, maybe not, this was more or less his work gear. But his cat suit was fantastic! He relaxed someone as Chuuya continued speaking, laughing and scratching at his cheek. ]}

Haha, it kind of reminds me of Hirtao's hat!

_{[ His eyes lit up a little and he leaned in excitedly. ]}

Oh! Can it do any neat tricks?

[mrfancyhat]

[Hm, does this mean that Hirato person's hat does tricks? The thought of there possibly being other ability users made Chuuya feel that he should keep his own to himself as planned, at least until he could figure out what the norm is here. Outer space... that probably means some funky, futuristic stuff, including abilities!

Chuuya looks at Yogi incredulously.]

Huh? Tricks? Do you mean... pulling a rabbit out of it?

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ Yogi laughed and shook his head. ]}

No, not quite. Though sometimes he does, if we're putting on a circus. Oh! But maybe you've seen them and can tell me where he is. He uses his hat to hide his Banshees! Uh, these pretty ladies than fly!

_{[ That makes absolute sense, doesn't it? ]}

[mrfancyhat]

[What the what. This talk of a circus and pretty ladies that fly and ?! He's so confused. Does he even want to bother with asking?! ... Sadly, yes. Yes he does.]

I don't know what you're talking about. It all sounds pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. Care to explain?

[Better for him to understand the kind of thing he could potentially deal with, he thinks.]

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ Yogi paused for a second, clearly debating, but came to the conclusion that there wasn't much point in hiding it. It wasn't as if Circus was a secret in his own world, after all, and he supposed no one would understand whom he was asking about if he did not explain it here. Hopefully Hirato wouldn't be mad! ]}

Oh, haha, sorry! I should start from the beginning. My name's Yogi, an agent on Circus' 2nd Ship!

_{[ He bowed in a very gallant way despite his dress, an obviously practiced movement that would have been more at home with someone wearing a top hat and tailcoats that Yogi's more casual and torn up attire. At least he wasn't treating you to his real, whole introduction spiel. No one really wants to be submitted to that. ]}

Circus is an agency that fight the Varuga. They're big and scary monsters! Hirato is the captain, but there's also Gareki, Nai, Eva, and Tsukumo-chan!

Oh! But I didn't get your name either, Mister Fedora!

[mrfancyhat]

[While that all sounded weird to him, it somehow makes sense, if only because Yogi, too, seemed weird. That's about all he's got, though.

Mister Fedora huh? He's glad to still be referred to by hats, even here.]

The name's Chuuya. I guess for you, life really is a circus, isn't it?

[dornen_kiste]

_{[ When you say it aloud, sure it sounds totally weird, but it is totally real! Yogi could prove it! He still had his bracelet, which meant his Circus gifts worked. But they weren't necessarily indoor friendly. Plus that meant fighting! He didn't like fighting, it was scary. ]}

Haha, that's a funny joke, Mister Chuuya!

_{[ He scratched at his chin, his gaze turning a bit sad. ]}

But I'm guessing that means you haven't seen my friends, huh? Are you here alone too, Chuuya?

[mrfancyhat]

I don't think I have, but if I see any clown freaks, I'll direct them your way.

[Well, maybe he will. Weird people like them should probably stick together for the sake of everyone else.

Whether Chuuya is here alone or not is a good question. He puts the hat he had tried on back where it was, and puts his own hat back on.]

I can't say for sure, but no one is really here alone, are they? We did all suddenly found ourselves here.
