<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ac/Taro03.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Taro Ikeda (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=257738.msg12730054#msg12730054)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Cafeteria<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Flashback - a few days before school starts, breakfast time<br/><strong>With:</strong>Shizuma + Open<br/><hr/>Taro found himself agreeing somewhat with that doctor of Shizuma's, even if he hardly appreciated the way the man had expressed it. It made perfect sense that someone who had suddenly gained strange powers that set her apart from the people around her would look for forces outside herself for an explanation. It had to be easier to swallow than accepting the fact that one self was somehow 'abnormal'. But it seemed to mean a lot to Shizuma. It was what she believed.<br/><br/>Did that give her an actual claim to the existence of the Kami? Did Shizuma's power prove that they existed? Would that mean they all existed, that all legends were true? And if they did exist, what did that mean for other religions? At this point his head was beginning to spin a little. Maybe that made believing her so difficult; believing Shizuma would open a whole can of philosophical worms that Taro was just not prepared to face. No, the only way to go about this right now was to accept what Shizuma could do, and not think about the implications too much.<br/><br/>"You don't think so? Well... I guess you have to know what you are talking about, if no accident has ever happened to you." He spoke slowly, tried to chose his words with care, but knew he probably didn't do a very good job of sounding convinced, but then his eyebrows shot up in surprise.<br/><br/>"What do you mean by pranks? And," he lowered his voice a little, "pervy?" Could this conversation get any stranger than it already was?
