The Adventures of Herro Everynyan

And so it begins, a tale as old as time. Well, June 2000. You look around and take a moment to observe, India, the land of the rising sun. No, wait. //Checks notes// Ah, wrong country, I was thinking of Japan. So you're born in India and naturally, you proceed to answer fate with a befitting response - shitting yourself and crying. Oh well, I suppose it might still be salvageable. What would like to do next? [[Make good choices]] [[Make bad choices]]

Irrelevant Ms. Babycakes, irrelevant after all Why? Simple - [[All roads lead to us]]

Bad girl! Well, no matter. Because - [[All roads lead to us]]

Please hold a moment. We're preparing a time jump to Nov 2024. Oh you need a recap of the last 24 years? It's some heavy worldbuilding. Are you sure you want that? [[Yes ->Yes]] [[No ->No]]

Aiyyo ok ok, here goes: Our whole universe was in a hot dense state, Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait... The Earth began to cool, The autotrophs began to drool, Neanderthals developed tools, We built a wall (we built the pyramids), Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery, That all started with the big bang (bang)! lol sorry I don't actually have a clear chronological timeline so I shall list out events and you do the sorting school in ladakh school in delhi school in hyderabad meeting me meeting me again meeting me once more boards, i guess intuit! leaving intuit :( vietnam diaries etc (you can recall the rest of your life here) [[onto the meaty stuff]]

Getting right to action? I like it. Foreplay is for the sheets, not these deets. Sorry, I had to rhyme there. [[onto the meaty stuff]]

Okay, let's get to the meaty stuff. You find yourself in the land of the rising sun, it's been a long flight, and an even longer train ride to town. But then you step out, it seems like your everyday street lined with builidings, and people going about their own chapters. And then it hits you, first a gust of the crispiest cold air, then a smile, but not just any smile, a smile that carries with it your very first memories of Anime, every porter robinson song, and a bittersweet realisation that you've made it. Somehow a cruel angel's thesis is playing in your head. Fits the situation. You walk to your hotel forgetting to shut your mouth - how could you when even the traffic cones look pretty. [[check-in at your hotel]] [[enroll at tokyo university]]

You speak to the receptionist and realise the anime voices are not exaggerated. The tv has porn on it for some reason? (I found this out after coming back to india lmao, apa hotels have free porn on the TVs lol) To avoid needless edging, I'll let you jump to events now [[weaving through osaka crowds]] [[the climb to fushimi inari]] [[that night in kyoto]]

Why did you choose this? Please maintain your loyalty to HEC. [[Go back ->onto the meaty stuff]]

You felt heartbroken over not getting to visit Ghibli Museum, the importance of which I would come to realise months later after watching the movies with you. But watching you feel so eager to visit the showcase in Osaka urged me to make that reality possible for you. The way we manouvered the crowds should have been recorded, nothing short of a chase scene lol. You lit up when we finally reached there, the fangirl in you justified the past half hour of running around hehe Though I didn't get to see Lego Godzilla :( pls take me there next time [[Choose another path ->check-in at your hotel]] [[Paris arc]]

After a day full of crazy places and sneaky hand holdys, we headed back. It wasn't even that late but all of kyoto had gone to sleep as if to signal that the city was now ours to hold close. Which we did, a day full of walking was no deterrent to us. The air was just another catalyst in a country full of them, nudging us closer. And to no one's surprise, we held hands and walked along. Then came the street, which by now you would've realised is the background. But what was a street straight out of anime and the textbook definiton of tranquility was a minefield of anxiety to me. I wanted to ask, I wanted to kiss, I wanted to let you know all that bubbled up in me. Did you feel the same? Would this ruin the memory of the best trip of our lives? Should I get patus' opinion? Or do I do this at Mt Fuji? While I juggled a million questions, I believe you were doing the same. Though you reached the destination sooner than me. The conversation that followed sank my heart line by line but I was happy to have been honest with you regardless. The next few hours were a blur of drinks and badgering Patus xD [[the best kiss of my life]]

We slept for 2 hours courtesy of a lore dump the night before but it's common knowledge that tiredness does not exist in Japan. You put on a pink puffer jacket and assumed the ultimate form of Booberry shortcake. I always thought you were cute but today felt different, I wanted to hold your hand but it shouldn't come at the cost of a friendship I would've treasured the same. The shrine felt grand, we were there early, the lack of tourists made the setting more intimate. We happened across priests going about what I can only assume to be a morning prayer. It was a rather quiet moment that felt like it was created for us. I'm not one to trust in powers but I prayed that I get to return here again. The climb to the top felt easy (because I had a great view all the way hehe). I remember talking about cyberpunk of all things while we made our way up. Then came the surprise, about halfway through the forest opened up to reveal a skyline vast and blue. We held hands, it had become an instinct by now. [[Find a quiet spot and furiously make out]] [[Continue the climb]]

Bonk! No impure thoughts allowed at a shrine! [[Go Back ->the climb to fushimi inari]]

The top felt underwhelming, but the climb back was straight outta Ghibli. We sat on a random bench overlooking a beautiful beautiful park. I don't remember what we had but it was cosy sharing it with you. The neko chan that sat atop a torii gate was next, they make entire movies around this phenomenon you know? The phenomenon of cattos and that of love. [[Choose another path ->check-in at your hotel]] [[Paris arc]]
