DAY 52 - [Text]

[babel_hacker]

Something I just learned very recently.

Ditto smell and taste like old gum, with a bit of wild nature from the grass. I wouldn't recommend trying to taste your own Dittos, however.

[There's a story behind this, of course.]

Just be careful while on the road.

Comments

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I'm certainly glad I never chose to discover that fact, although I have to wonder what on earth would lead you to be quite that hungry.

[babel_hacker]

The Ditto was on my face when I woke up! And I made sure to get enough supplies for the road, too!

[enjoymyatelier]

...well, that's really much more sensical than I was honestly expecting. Honestly, at this point, I'm more concerned about the Ditto's mental state than yours...

[babel_hacker]

I would probably deserve having trouble if I go out under prepared after being here for years.

The Ditto's going to Naoya, so if its mental state is off, I would probably notice.

[enjoymyatelier]

Ah, well, that's certainly true, but the unexpected does have a tendency to happen even if you try to preempt it.

...is this Naoya someone with a low tolerance for strangeness, then?

[babel_hacker]

I'll grant you that. The most we can do about that is trying to minimise the damage or effect as much as possible.

...And not really. Strange things wouldn't bother Naoya that much.

[enjoymyatelier]

Basically, yes. And even then, some things are extremely difficult to mitigate...

Ah, well, that's good, then. Although, I don't know how someone without a high tolerance for strangeness could even survive this place...

[babel_hacker]

It usually take a lot for something to really bother him.

[Unless someone find the easy mode answer aka talking about God.]

If it's anyone but him, they just need to learn to adapt.

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, again, if you can't adapt to the unusual in this place then you're really not going to be doing very well here to begin with, so it's not too much of a hard bargain, I suppose.

[babel_hacker]

Pretty much. And you'll be pretty much...left behind everyone else who did adapt and get out of the loop.

[enjoymyatelier]

Basically, yes. Honestly, I'm surprised that doesn't happen to more people, which I suppose testifies to the ability of humans to adapt to basically everything... but I'm not entirely sure.

[babel_hacker]

There's always a chance someone who can't exist, they probably haven't show up yet. Or reveal themselves out of embarrassment.
