[once kazuma goes looking for the jade archway, it will appear before him. stepping through feels like stepping into a soothing landscape painting. the atmosphere goes grey, but rather than the monochrome of other areas, it's the mist of morning fog, still hanging low in the air. his feet touch down onto dirt and grass. he is standing in a quaint country garden. there are tall, dark green trees all around and rolling hills far away, but in the immediate vicinity is a flat, empty area with a few fenced in garden patches. the fenced in area in front of you looks to be a tidy herb and vegetable garden patch. there's a small shed towards the back of the garden, and gardening tools are scattered about.
in the distance he can see a pond and across the pond, far away, a small cottage with smoke billowing from the chimney. there are a few stone statues scattered about the garden, but none are moving.]

[it's very beautiful, but still. however, after a moment, a jade green archway opens, and shale steps through. vines wind around them today.]
Oh, hey. A new visitor.
Oh, hey. A new visitor.
[they gesture at the cottage.]
That's it right there. But I spend a lot of my time out in the garden.

[ Hello.
as he steps through the quartz arch, he will find himself standing in a traditional Japanese-style room - tatami mats on the floor, and sliding paper doors on every side. there are no windows, or even decorations on the walls. it's dim in here, lit only by low candles and shadows crawling out of every corner. it's very, very silent.
No one seems to be around?
Oh but there's a kotatsu in the middle of the room now. shit happens. ]

[he steps through the archway and finds himself in a small apartment. it's one room with a bathroom, though the room itself doesn't appear entirely lived in. there are a few posters on the wall, but they are hard to make out and it seems that there is a clock on the wall by the door. there's a small couch along with a bed. the kitchen exists, but it seems empty of anything of note except for one whiteboard that reads: If you seek someone to love, think of what it means to give up.
against the wall across from the door there's a computer desk with a pc on it. its screensaver is up right now, but there's also a nice computer chair in front of it. in the kitchen sink there looks like a bowl that maybe once had something in it but has since been rinsed out.
and finally, there's a large pile of blankets on the bed and sort of nested in a corner. it's vaguely person-sized but otherwise does not move for the moment.]

[he steps through into...
a studio apartment, one room, with a bathroom and a tiny kitchen! the main room is just a couch and a TV, with plain white walls and plain grey carpet. this'd be boring if it weren't for the various posters and trinkets plastered around the room. the posters are blurred out, but they're colorful and eyecatching anyway.
there is a blanket nest full of grey static on the couch.]

["People really need to start asking before coming through the archway."
but kazuma takes off his shoes and approaches which means there are two slightly glowing spots appearing from under the blankets. a third spot soon appears, and kazuma gets a text.]
hey
did u need something?

Huwha? [he... examines the blanket nest, and the static wiggles and buzzes away from his hands.]
Hi? Hhhhey!

[ thank you for being one of VERY FEW POLITE PEOPLE. ]
[ Just. Silence. And then after a second, steel's voice, seemingly from nowhere:]
I do wonder if wandering into someone's home unannounced is a custom I am simply unaware of, or merely a quirk of all of yours.

It's not an intrusion. I like company. Could I get you anything? Tea?
[they nod at the question though.]
I'm sure you do. I'm here to answer.

[maybe that's why they're so chill?]
... Yeah. Frankly, we're stumped, too. It wasn't good.

[try it bro.]
I have a few tricks up my... well, I don't wear sleeves. But I can fight if I have to.

[kazuma either has to deal with texts or living in silence. or he can just say he doesn't know phones well.]
