01: Reality $ TEXT

[righthandstand]

[Okuyasu opts for a text message rather than a video as 1) it's kind of easy to figure out after some practice - it's like a computer, only the keys don't get stuck and 2) he hopes fewer people will recognize him from the tiny icon.]

you know after the past few days i think im finally getting that this is all real
that im not dreaming that i woke up in outer space and went to a planet where magic is real
does that make sense?

i guess what im trying to say is i suddenly realize that i was sleeping in a real bed in a real house and ate real food
but at the same time i cant completely accept it yet
and its confusing

i know it sounds pretty dumb but thats how I feel

[ Ena is very much in the same boat. Just learning how to use the slate, that is. Luckily, Okuyasu's post is the first one she happens to see and not another post she might embarrass herself on. ]

INDEED THIS IS HOW I FEEL AS WELL . YOU ARE NOT
ALONE IT IS A WEIRD FEELING .

[It's fine, he can't judge anyone.]

so we both arent ready to accept that this is real
then are we both real? or one of us and the other isn't
or were both real and this world isnt
or were all real and we have to deal with it

WHILE I CANNOT SPEAK FOR ANYONE BESIDES MYSELF .
I AM NOW MORE INCLINED TO BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE
I AM SEEING AND TALKING TO ARE REAL .
PHYSICAL OBJECTS . DO NOT HAVE A MALLEABLE PROPERTY..
FOUND IN ILLUSIONS . OR DREAMS .
WHETHER YOU . OR ANY OTHER FOR THAT MATTER .
IS ALIVE AND CONSCIOUS . I DO NOT KNOW . BUT YOU
ARE REAL

so im real to you is what youre saying
even if im dreaming at the same time .


?

[that question mark is tricky to type.]

YES . TO ME . YOU ARE REAL .
UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT SPEAK FOR YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS .
IF YOU PERCEIVE THIS AS REAL
THEN PERHAPS THAT IS PROOF ENOUGH .
