players | 「 REMEMBER YOUR APPOINTMENT」

That's dangerous. [ He doesn't say it in the sense that Damien is like a midget (though that is part of it), but it's also pretty dangerous around anywhere.

Everywhere.

These parts.

Those parts. ]

[ Everywhere is dangerous and Damien is somehow still alive without suffering too much trauma. He's probably just really lucky, but that's also why he looks pretty indignant because he's told that all the time. ]

People say that all the time...

Because it's true. [ Damien, don't try to fight him on this.

JUST CAUSE YOU'RE LUCKY. Either way, he opens the door for him. ]

How bad is it?

[ LAY IT ON HIM, CAMERON because he's really skeptical ]

Someone tried to mug me for money earlier, but then realized I was a poor university student on loans.

[ Yup. Outside, Damien! Outside. He doesn't say that this was on the other side though... His town is generally nice to him. ]

But if they backed off, then doesn't make it any more dangerous, right?

[ He thought that after seeing the mugger's face, the mugger would have attempted murder or something. ]

He tried to steal my cellphone and netbook in exchange for my lack of cash, I guess. [ HE DID TRY TO ATTEMPT MURDER, but talking about it so openly with a kid is kind of...

Unethical and concerning. ] Anywhere you want to go?

I don't know where to go here. I've never been here before. I'm fine with just walking around though.

[ His sense of adventure awaits--except he doesn't have his panda companion this time. Sad... ]

Hm... I think the park here is worth visiting--a decent start for someone new. [ His second choice of internship was in tourism... Other than that, he check for hours on his phone. ]

Most of the buildings should be open till six.

Why do they close so early?

[ He looks up at Cameron as he asks. He doesn't ask out of disbelief, but rather curiosity since he remembers that stores usually close at later times. ]

I think it's a tourism thing. I've never personally thought about going to indoor gardens and museums at night. [ He scratches his cheek as he checks the bus schedules. His reasoning is sound to him, so he doesn't try to articulate more. ]

The blue line bus should be here soon. It'll take us to the park in a couple of minutes. [ The transportation here is amazing. ]

Oh... [ He takes the time to think about this. ]

What's the blue line bus?

There are three buses here: red, blue, and gold. They are usually express and can get you almost anywhere in this town as long as you wake up for your stop. Doesn't change the fact you still need to hop buses though, but it's convenient compared to where I last lived. [ He shrugs and halts at the bus stop. ]

Should be here in five. [ As in minutes. ] Do you not take buses?

Oh... that sounds really convenient. [ He tilts his head. ] There aren't any buses where I live. It's just by foot, bike, or car.

[ Or panda. ]

Inconvenient... Biking is good for you though.

[ Here comes the blue bus. You can tell it's blue because this stop is blue and the color on the place where the bus parks for a bit is also blue. The driver heartily greets Cameron and motions them in...

And the rest of the passengers, too. He waves at them ad tries to find a seat-- ] There's an open seat over there.

[ Damien follows Cameron into the bus, but is startled by the greeting of... everyone in the bus. He's used to maybe one or two people, but mostly nobody greeting anybody, so this is a new experience.

And he feels uncomfortable, so he stands closer to Cameron more. ]

... Something wrong? [ He looks down at Damien while holding onto those hanging things. I forgot what they're called, but you get what I mean.

The old couple in the front look concern and mention the poor boy must be intimidated. ]

Do you just want to stand here with me then?

[ Damien doesn't nod but he holds onto Cameron by his other arm, so that he doesn't fall over with the momentum of the bus's movements. ]

[ He tries to keep Damien steady as well. The passengers on the bus mind their own business, talking amongst themselves etc. Then there is an announcement that they will be arriving at the urban cultural park soon. ]

Our stop is the one after the next one. [ Just to give Damien a heads up. ]

--Mn. [ He wasn't exactly paying attention because when he looks out the window from where he stands, he gets a somewhat obscured view of town (he's still short, so it makes looking over heads quite difficult). He takes in all that he sees and is amazed at any new place that he goes to.

sugoi ne ]

... Like what you see so far? [ It's okay, Damien. When he returned home, it was like everything was new but not at the same time. Things did change though. ]

This place is usually safe, so it's nice to walk around outside and see everything.

Yeah... It's cool. Do you go there a lot?

[ He feels like he has so many questions to ask... ]

Sometimes. I like visiting the Butterfly Pavilion sometimes. It's pretty calming since it's connected to the forest.

Anything special where you live? [ He's sure there must be other things over there. Probably more interesting things. ]

[ He thinks that if it's connected to the forest, it must be pretty huge. He starts to ponder on what's so great about the place that he lives in. ]

I don't think there's anything fun where I live.

Really? Not even one thing? [ He raises his eyebrows. Most people are usually either spiteful about their home or engrossed... ]

Maybe it's because you're so used to it, it's not a big deal. [ And the bus stops. Cameron will lead Damien out now while saying bye to everyone on the bus. ]
