[Now that Ryuunosuke's had some time to settle in and get a little more used to how things go around here, it's time to hit up that one really interesting priest from the hospital. He wasn't lying when he said he was curious about hearing Gray's sermons, so Gray's getting a call today.]

Hey, Reverend! You have a bit to chat?

[divinesight]

[Oh, it's this one. The particularly odd volunteer from the hospital.]

I do. Is there something on your mind?

[greatestcool]

[wow, rude, he is a totally sane and normal individual!!]

Yeah, I'm still really interested in hearing your sermons! Or you know, just talking about that kinda thing since I'm preeeetty sure you aren't preaching anywhere just yet.

[divinesight]

All in due time, my child. But I see no reason to not discuss such things in the interim.

[greatestcool]

Great! Whenever you're available to chat, then! If you're available today we could meet up somewhere, though I don't mind talking like this either.

[So Danny has had... a lot happen since he last saw Gray at the hospital. A man that was supposed to be very dead came back and now Danny has to deal with the consequences of that, along with whatever nonsense this world had with all that flooding.

But once things have died down from that and Danny is... an appropriate approximation of "calm" enough for this, he finally sends the Reverend a message.]

Can we talk? If you're not busy, that is.

[Not a "we need to talk" demand like before when he ran into him at the hospital, but a request he would very much like to have fulfilled here.]

[divinesight]

[Implicit though the "correct" answer may be, a request is still a request as opposed to a demand or an insistence; it's more civilized, at the very least, even if Gray knows better than to assume the conversation will remain likewise.

Bluntly put, he does not foresee this being excellent.]

Of course. I certainly have time.

[He does not foresee this being excellent but there's no sense in ensuring it won't be. He can't even say he faults Danny for his behavior so far; it isn't as though things ended well.

So...fine, yes. Let's see what this is going to look like.]

[doctorize]

[Well, so far so good at least?]

Firstly, have you settled into this place somewhat yet? Figured out how things work here and such?

I've been here for almost four months now, so if you have any questions about something, I can do my best to answer them.

[This friendly "checking up on Gray" offer is not the reason he's contacting the priest, of course, but it's best to start from this point before he gets into the reason why he stopped being a big baby and contacted him today.]

[divinesight]

[If nothing else, there's something to be said about it being at least somewhat easier to do all of this over text.]

I've been doing what I can, in that regard.

Those that are naturally from this place have been kind. Those that are have come from elsewhere haven't done anything objectionable. If anything is going to present difficulty in being here, it's the nature of the place itself.

[Loose translation: holy fuck the people here live like this]

[doctorize]

[I mean there are some things better said in person than over text, but...]

... I assume you're referring to the goings-on in regards to the moon-cycles here.

[Man, how to ask this delicately... fuck it, he's just going to come out and ask it since this is text and he doesn't have to look Gray directly in the eye for this part of the conversation.]

Have you figured out yet which moon cycle affects you the most here?

[Instead of a text coming to ask if he's busy, there's an actual phone call being directed to Abraham Gray with Daniel Dicken's name flashing on the screen.

Answer?]

[divinesight]

[All of this is admittedly slightly weird - Danny doesn't usually call him, they don't usually interact over the phone fullstop - but life here is already so goddamn weird that Gray isn't exactly bothered by it? A cursory thought goes to this being a bit weird, but not a lot else before he answers.]

Yes...?

[doctorize]

[When Gray answers, Danny doesn't say anything right away: for a moment it's just the sound of him breathing, though "breathing" might be better interchanged with the word "wheezing" for how much pain Danny is in at the moment.

He almost considers hanging up, or delaying the inevitable of having to tell the other man that he is definitely not handling things on his own like he said he was capable of doing, but instead, for once he cuts straight to the chase because that's what Gray would likely prefer instead of excuses while he bleeds out in a goddamn alley.]

I--I need your help. Where are you at right now?

[divinesight]

[The pause that gets out of him is brief but noticeable; there isn't often much behind his words as far as genuine emotion goes - there are a few exceptions (for anger, for agitation, for the sending-down of the impure) but for now there's a sort of decisive sharpness to it when he speaks and that's...well, it's going to have to work for now.]

Tell me where you are. You don't sound in much condition to be going far.

[doctorize]

[... Give him a minute to risk moving closer to the lip of the alley entranceway so that he can check what street he's on, since he had kind of ran this way in a bit of a blind panic, and once he sees a sign, he'll give Gray the street address.]

I'm in one of the alleys here... I, ah, would also s--suggest having a first aid kit of some kind.

[... Yeah, like a first aid kit is going to help with a bullet wound Danny, sure. But then again, this is Danny, maybe he does have some idea of how to use a first aid kit for serious injuries like that.]

[ Even without gaining any animal traits (thank god), Mikami has to conclude that Iris moon is really really strange. It's left him feeling restless and somehow yearning for human connection and that's awful because he really doesn't even LIKE human connection.

But if nothing else, it makes him remember the priest he's spoken to upon entering this strange place. He hasn't contacted him since, despite promising to, because he hasn't really felt like actually socializing, but now that's... well, different. He hates that it is, but Gray had still been pleasant enough to talk to that he doesn't feel too bad about taking him up on an offer from a while ago. ]

Good morning, Father Gray. I hope the last few weeks have treated you well, despite the general chaos of this place. I was wondering if you still had interest in that chat about differing religious perspectives among cultures and worlds?

-Mikami

[divinesight]

[Well, this is unexpected, but not unpleasantly so.]

Yes, of course. Did you have a time and location in mind, or would you prefer to do this through text?

[inordertobelieve]

I've been introduced to a café that isn't quite as... much, as most of the locations here, if you wouldn't mind meeting in person. Some things are more smoothly expressed verbally.

As far as time goes, I do not have a preference.

[ Which feels like the world is ending, if he doesn't make a schedule soon he's going to go nuts.

Also a link to the café's website is attached. It's a nice non-offense place on Level 2. ]

[divinesight]

I can meet you there within the next twenty minutes, should that be agreeable to you.

[inordertobelieve]

In exactly 20 minutes then.

I'm a tall Japanese man with glasses, for ease of recognition.

[ He could just send a selfie but he's never taken a selfie in his life and the idea does not actually cross his mind. ]

[doctorize]

Do you know anything about fishing?

[... Yes, this is the message Gray gets today rather than a proper greeting or explanation for why he's asking this first.]

[divinesight]

I understand it in theory. I can't say I've ever done it myself, however.

Why do you ask?

[doctorize]

I'm actually thinking about going out and doing so today. It can sometimes be a good way to pass the time and organize one's thoughts.

Would you be interested in joining me? If you're not busy, of course.

[divinesight]

[...huh.]

I would like that. Where would you have me meet you?

[doctorize]

[Danny texts the directions to where there's a fishing area that is open to the public, before he also adds--]

I would also suggest wearing casual clothing, or at least something that you don't mind getting wet just in case.
