Ah. Then yes, we have the same powers - which is to say, none.
This reality can be difficult for people without inherent abilities. Until you regain yours, I would recommend finding someone powerful to help protect you.
He'll find out his weird super power eventually. He bets it really is something stupid. It's gotta be turning peoples undies blue. Gotta be.]
He was definitely nice. No complaints from me, other than trying to shove me into a mushroom house at first. So thanks for the heads up about there being cottages.
Of course! To be honest, I'm always surprised when people choose to live in the mushrooms or tree houses, especially if they're from more modern times like us...
[That gets sent without really thinking. Before Kazuya can get his thoughts in order to remind himself that Maruki said that he should ingratiate himself if he wanted things.
(That is not what he said at all.)]
Do you know any plumbing or electrical skills, Maruki-sensei?
[Sensei is a step up from being called senpai, right? Right?]
Unfortunately, trying to fix plumbing and electricity by hand doesn't work, as far as I know. Those amenities have to be wished for at the crystal. I'd be happy to walk you over there when you're ready.
In the meantime, there is a bathhouse. It's not dissimilar to one you'd find in Tokyo, and it's a very nice place. Akechi-kun and I visit fairly frequently. You're welcome to use that to get clean.
I think that's probably pretty prudent information to give to new arrivals when they arrive. The location of amenities where they can clean themselves.
Speaking of taking a shower, where would I wash my clothes? You're not going to say a river, are you? Or does the bathhouse also have a laundromat?
Yes, Vaeros really should include a pamphlet of useful information along with the "contract" that we all signed.
That's a great question, actually. [ Because even before he moved into the castle, he was able to use Eren's cottage to wash up and whatnot... The benefits to spending his earliest days in Somnius meeting everyone in dreams. Poor Kazuya. ] I might have to say a river...
You're probably better off getting water and electricity ASAP, Kazuya.
You know, there are many messed up things about this reality, but in my opinion one of the worst offenders is what we can and cannot wish for for others.
Which is to say... Unfortunately, water and electricity can't be wished for by anyone but the user in question. [ so sayeth the mods! ]
I'm sorry. It doesn't bring me any joy. If it helps at all, you'll have enough shards in no time.
[ Acceptance of Akechi's horrendous attitude has been hard won after months of constant daily contact and intense bonding. It isn't a grace extended to just anyone. Maruki is much more used to annoying teenagers whose words hit his brain and slide right off, which is exactly where Kazuya falls. ]
That would be a very uncharitable way to read the genuine advice that I just gave you. Tone really is hard to parse over text, huh?
I wasn't being serious. I'm really grateful for your advice, honestly. It's just a bit strange for me having had to settle through several different situations in a very short amount of time.

But mostly, he seemed really mad about it while trying to put on a friendly, cheerful disposition.
no subject
I'm sure he wasn't mad, though. He's always calm. It's quite admirable.

He must have had a bad day. He probably slept poorly.
Still, I hope he was kind to you despite his oddities.

Feel like sparing some change on a newly made pauper?

The water doesn't even have to be hot.

Things will change soon enough. Like clockwork.
