[ cont from here ]
Well, they're not all exactly like me. It'd be nice if I could find someone like that, though.
[ he shakes his head, laughing over the thought. oh if there was a body just like his... ]
But we look mostly similar? Our hair, eye, skin colors might be a bit different, or some people have larger chests or some people might be taller or smaller, but we all kind of have similar features. Two legs, two arms, torso, head, y'know! Heck, if it weren't because you look much smaller and your eyes are really big and sparkly like a doll's, I'd say that you're a human, too!
[ he pauses, and then adds in a casual tone, ]
But there's nothing wrong with not being human-- or, well, looking like me. I think non humans like you are incredible as well. What species are you?

[ Huh. A whole world where everyone seemed to from a single tribe? It's so farfetched that Junah even has trouble trying to visualize it. Sounds like something straight out of Will's fantasy novel.
Now that Flat mentions it though, she supposes nidia could resemble members of the elda tribe if they were taller and lacked their telltale iridescent hair and eyes.
And though she tries not to, Junah can't help but wrinkle her nose a bit at Flat's comment that she could be a human too. Humans in Flat's world are different -- there's no need to feel as though she'd just been called a monster.
Oh dear. This is going to get confusing if she can't remember that humans seem to be completely different in other people's worlds. The smile is back on her face though once she's straightened out her thoughts, all while offering Flat a wink as she responds. ]
I'm from the nidia tribe, if that's what you mean by species. ...to tell the truth, we hide our true appearances from others. Normally I'd look a little taller and a bit... older, too. Seem to have lost my ability to do that though.

[ flat seems to take the reaction in stride, at the very least. in fact, you may even question whether or not he even noticed in the first place, but the main point is that he's more engrossed in the conversation at hand. the fact that he's able to learn about beings from other worlds is incredible!
he claps his hands together, giving her a warm, sympathetic smile. ]
I understand what you mean. I think I've lost my abilities too. To be honest I can't really see well right now... or, I guess this is how normal people see?
[ there's a flash of concern in flat's expression, as the realization dawns over him. his sight is gone. his magecraft is gone. and so is he...
pushing through the anxiety trying to build in his heart, he adds: ]
So, when you change your appearance, are you casting an illusion on yourself or something like that?

[ Huh. It seems this little issue isn't unique to her then. Junah sighs, sympathetic. ]
Seems we're both seeing the world in an unusual way.
[ Ah, but... she probably shouldn't share the way nidia glamours worked. Exposing that sort of secret would be an utter betrayal of her tribe. Still, they were in this together, weren't they? It probably couldn't hurt to share a tiny bit of information for the sake of sorting things out.
As long as she doesn't go too in depth, it's probably fine. ]
Essentially, yes.
[ No need to explain it's a form of mimicry magic, wherein a nidia would reflect the appearance of those looking at them to shape their bodies into something a little more "age appropriate." ]
It's magic that's used to change how I look.
[ She studies Flat for a moment. ]
I suppose if it was working, I'd look a little older than you.

Upon your doorstep/mailbox/table or whatever! However delivery in this world works. The details don’t matter.
Before you is a gift, chocolate, and a letter.
“Dear Flat Escardos,
I wanted to send you a challenge letter, but I realize how unfair it will be.
I can probably, and most likely, beat you at anything physical.
However, you can probably find an efficient way to cheat against me in games.
So, I request that you become my HYPE-MAN when I get challengers.
From,
Hakuno Kishinami
P.S. It would make me happy if you accepted my gifts. ”
Hakuno Kishinami knows she couldn't beat Flat in an honest one-on-one duel. She might have a better chance of winning against him if it was a Master's fight, but even then, it would be a relatively close call against hard work and a genius magus. It was much more efficient for Hakuno to have Flat as a powerful ally instead.

[ flat is touched beyond belief by the present— his first ever valentine’s day present here!
hakuno will get an image sent to her: a selfie of him with a piece of chocolate in his mouth and he seems to be holding a piece of paper decorated with the hanamaru stamps. and in a handwriting that is clearly unused to writing japanese script is the message:
頑張れ、ハクノちゃん！
it’s about the extent of flat’s writing skill, depending solely on his memory of the manga he has read and his short time in japan. ]
THANK YOU!!!!!!!! i’ll hype you up whenever you want!!!!

That's incredible!
[ flat's eyes shine, delighted by the explanation. no matter how small, it's enough of a spark to ignite his curiosity even further. it's such a shame that he can't see it in action! ]
I mean, it's also incredible to be able to see your true form, but I wonder if there's any way to get your abilities back? If so, I would definitely like to see it in action. Tell me, does it have any limitations? Are you stuck to one gender or could you also change that too?
[ flat does slightly realize that he's hounding the poor girl with questions, so he quickly adds, ]
You see, back home one of the things that I was interested in was illusion magecraft. I mean, I'm interested in a lot of things, but that was one thing that I was pretty good at! So I'm just curious!

[ This kid... He'd almost certainly fit in at the Mage Academy. It leaves Junah feeling equal parts nostalgic and somewhat melancholy, given the fate of that school. There'd been several students just like Flat who'd studied alongside her, and some of them --
No, no use in thinking about that now. ]
Well... I suppose it's not precisely illusion magic, so there are certainly some limitations. Its main purpose is allowing me to look a little closer to my true age.
[ As opposed to how she looks now. Which is a small child. Unfortunate. ]
But in general, let's just say I've got a personal talent for picking up others' spells after seeing them in practice a few times.
[ There's a thoughtful look on her face as she gazes up now at Flat. ]
And I believe you mean you wonder if there's any way for both of us to get our abilities back, love.

[ oh this is someone he's never talked to. surely this question is meant for someone else, but... ]
why not both? technically ninjas were active during the pirate eras. don't you think that one of them might have gotten past the sakoku and changed careers? i think a pirate ninja would be much cooler.
[ as its recipient, flat deems it necessary to give it the thought it deserves and his genuine opinion! ]

[ If this were video, he might understand why it takes so long for a reply to come. It isn't the realization that he isn't the person she meant to text. It's Nao squinting at her screen, at the reply she's received.
Hmmmmm. Okay. ]
MAYBE coolr
but tats a wardrobe clash 1st off
an 2nd liek
theyr traits r so contrary!!
if were talkin traditionl pirates an ninjas i mean

uh
you learn the language? duh. how hard can it be? i learned enough japanese to go to japan pretty quickly, how hard can it be?
you know what works well? having friends that speak that language. i guess in that time it would be the dutch? think about it! it's like a cultural exchange program! you have a dutch pirate learning japanese and becoming a ninja and then you could have a japanese ninja learning dutch and how to be a pirate. it's like an online friendship before you even had online.
and of course a ninja can learn to be a pirate or vice versa. you can have more than one trait in dnd, why not irl?!

[Guess what?
Flat's peaceful day? Ruined!
Bunnykechi is here after a daring farm escape (he ran so fast) and now???
He sees Flat. His bunny peripheral vision can see nothing else and boy is he stomping.]

[ day ruined? more like day MADE.
at the sight of the rabbit, flat has obviously no idea that it's none other than his friend (that's right, because they're friends) akechi. he sees the bunny stomping, and completely misinterprets it as a greeting. ]
Hi! It's been so long since I've seen a rabbit. You're so cute! I don't have any carrots, but oh man, it's been forever since I've had a pet.
[ though all of those 'pets' have been home made. ]

Wow~! Wait, hold on, hold on. I have to take a photo for Hakuno. She'll love this.
[ before he goes to the boss battle, flat pulls out his device to take a couple of pictures. hold on, he's sending it to her. okay now where was he-- ]
What should I call you? Lapin is pretty good on its own, I think, but what about Jack? Or, or, I'll call you the Black Beast of Arrrghhh.
[ he's not even a black rabbit. ]

ZOOMKECHI.
He isn't sitting still. He's not a pet. Don't name him!!!
At the Black Beast of Arrghhh-
He charges Flat. Almost like he's picking a name. Or rejecting it. It's a fucking rabbit, who knows, but he does make an attempt to headbutt his leg with vicious intent and then-
Hops back a step. Come AT him.]

Aah, we can do kind of similar things, actually! Wow, that's incredible! I'm really happy to have met you so quickly after waking up! You're my first official friend in this new world.
[ flat beams at her, the excitement genuine and unable to be masked. not that he would want to do such a thing, but even if he did, he wouldn't be able to. ]
You're right. We should work hard to find out how to get our abilities again. Once I have mine back, I'll make sure to find you and tell you all about it!

[ flat is delighted by the zoomkechi photos. they look just like ufo and nessie photos, and he wastes no time in sending it to his friend.
he doesn't even flinch when akechi headbutts him, and in fact kneels down to get a better look at the rabbit. he taps the ground in front of him. ]
Come here Lapin! We can be friends! I can even find a hat and then the two of us can start a business doing magic tricks. It'd be fun, right?

and then when it becomes a hit
BAM! MANGA ADAPTATION! one of us gets possessed by the god of manga and he guides us into writing an adaptation that even sh*nen j*mp can't axe!
and then, we'll make it big and become a series with 200 eps and 4 filler arcs that people WISH had gotten cancelled back in season 5 when the two friends separated because one went to join the bad guys while the other one went to continue his dream, but never forgetting about his bff that may or may not be his bf, but we leave that up to fandom interpretation so all the fangirls can draw yaoi doujins about them!!!

[No, not fun! No, not right!! No, he is a grown man with a desire to rebel against an unjust world and kill the leader of a shadow cabal.
NOT DO MAGIC TRICKS.
Flat kneels? Down? Is he stupid? Is he dumb? Akechi's a goddamn rabbit. He wouldn't be afraid of a bunny either, but-
The tap, tap, tap on the ground - oh, infuriating. He bites at the hand that doesn't feed him. Oh, how he goes to bite.]
