Who: Satoru Gojou and Mercy Graves
When: Late July, early August?
Where: ADI Housing
Summary: Let's investigate the eyes.
Warnings: If you have scopophobia this probably isn't the best post to read.

[ After this particular conversation on the network, Gojou heads out of his apartment quickly and over to A1. It's not that he's necessarily excited about this, he's just eager to find out whether his eyes work the same way here or if they're entirely present. He hasn't had a chance to find out yet and he's lucky that Mercy has agreed to cooperate.

It doesn't take long to get there and he knocks on the door in a quick, loud pattern. ]

Well, they don't exactly work right.

[ He starts rolling up the sleeves of his shirt. As per usual, he's wearing long sleeves - a habit he's had since times long past. Gojou's always wanted to hide the eyes, even when it was apparent nobody else could see them. ]

I can see fine, but I can't see the things I'm used to seeing. Extra stuff, like cursed energy.

[ Perhaps there is no cursed energy here? It was certainly a thought. His nose wrinkles at it and he finished revealing where he knows the eyes are - one for each shoulder, bright and blue just like the ones on his face. ]

[Mercy sits down on one of the chairs and just... gawks for a solid few seconds, lips parted. That is intensely unsettling, if she's honest, but she's trying to be a Professional here, so she tries to keep the shiver up her spine to herself.]

We got... electricity here. [She pronounces 'electricity' like it's a foreign word.] That ain't cursed energy?

So you can see them. These too?

[ He pulls up his shirt enough to reveal the other two eyes on his abdomen. They stare without blinking. ]

Cursed energy is kind of like a supernatural energy.

Aye. I see them sure as I see the ones sitting pretty in your head. Is that... unusual?

[She'll get back to the supernatural energy business in a moment.]

It's very unusual. Back home, only someone with as much power as I have could see them.

[ He suspected that Yuuta would have been able to see them, but there was no chance to find out. Otherwise, nobody had. Only him.

One of the benefits of being The Strongest. ]

[Her eyes maybe track down to his abs and away from those eyes, lingering there for a minute before she refocuses.]

Well, maybe I got a mess more power than I thought.

[ He definitely notices when her eyes wander and his ego is absolutely delighted by this. Gojou had been about to let his shirt go again, but he's not going to now, a subtle way of teasing her. ]

You're right, we should find out if it's visible to anyone else or just you. That'd be rather unexpected and interesting.

[Gojou is a cruel and unusual man. Mercy makes herself focus on his face. But she's clearly struggling a little.]

R-right! Well, um... You could try posting a moving picture of yourself on the network. I been told we can do that. It's like letters, but you're just talking at your little rectangle thing instead of writing it all down. You could show everyone and see who can see and who can't.

That'd get the most folk looking, right?

[ Gojou isn't sure about just showing everyone like that, but she does have a good idea. Back home, cursed things don't show up on camera - so it's a way to see if this truly is normal, now. ]

...can you film it? We'll do it together.

[ Maybe that'll help his nerves. ]

Film...? I don't think you want a film growing over them eyes.

[Be patient with her.]

No, that's not what I mean.

[ Gojou is going to be very patient. ]

Here, come here and I'll show you.

[ He digs his phone out of his pocket. ]

[She lifts her brows and stares curiously. Something about the phone and films... all right. She'd seen that it could show you a variety of pictures and even moving ones! Some words have yet to penetrate her vernacular.]

All right. What am I looking for?
