[OOC/Filter: Here's the deal. Youji intended for this post to be ladies-only, but due to a variety of factors--lack of familiarity with the device, the gender ambiguity of some names, and the weather messing with the Dreamberries--it's pretty much failed. So anyone is free to see this post (or not see it!), but if you're not a cute girl over 18, he's going to be polite, but unenthusiastic. XD]

[Youji is sitting back on his couch, looking charmingly sheepish and pleasantly cheerful.]

Hello!

I'm laid up with a broken leg, and rather bored. I don't suppose anyone could help me out...? Any recommendations are appreciated. Books, movies, snacks, art supplies, or just your sparkling conversation!

'I salute you, good sir.'

Ahh. You're a good man, sir. A good man.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Not really.

But it's damn funny when it happens to someone else, isn't it?

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not finding the filter failing funny at all.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Really? I appreciate it.

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

[Shrugs.]

Don't sweat it.

Anyway, even if this isn't what you had in mind, I'm Kyon, by the way. Nice to meet you.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

You, too. I'm Youji.

Been here very long? [He's the only one who figured out--or at least called Youji on--the filter!fail, seems somewhat intelligent, possibly a good source of information.]

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

I've been here since August, Youji-san. So that makes it roughly around 5-6 months.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I see you're enjoying yourself, too.

What do you know about getting out of here?

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

Oh, you have no idea how much, Youji.

If I knew the answer to that, we wouldn't be even having this conversation.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I take it you have some good friends here.

I was afraid of that. I suppose I should be settling in for the long haul, then?

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I made a couple.

The only perk I'm seeing so far that almost everything is for free.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

That does sound nice, but I doubt it makes up for that bit about dreams being broadcast for all and sundry.

I don't suppose anyone has figured out how that's even possible?

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

Just makes being stuck here bearable, at the very least.

It's something I haven't been questioning at the moment, Youji-san.

'Free food is still free food, after all.'

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I see.

Do most people just go along with it, then?

[snark-pants.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. Free food is still free food, right?

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

So it is. Opportunism is universal, then.
