[Gansey smiles easily. Maybe he’s been waiting to ask - an excuse to talk about what he always wants to talk about deep down.]
I’m studying ley lines. They’re present all over the world, so I’d wondered if I could find any leads to those on island countries, if they’re present at all.
But there aren’t any in Tokyo, as far as I can tell.
[ a what now??? a...lay line?...lei...line? like a...conga line? ]
Oh, uh, yeah. I'm sure we've got plenty of those lyin' around here somewhere.
[ Ryuji laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head. should Ryuji know what those are, because he certainly doesn't. but Gansey says it like everyone know what a ley line is; and he says it so eagerly too, like he'd been waiting to talk to anyone about this. it'd probably be a real bummer if Ryuji 'fessed up and admitted he didn't know. so, not wanting to seem like a complete idiot, Ryuji meekly asks: ]
...What're those, again?
[ clearly he just needs a refresher on what a ley line is. ]
[Gansey, who is a.) quite used to people not knowing what ley lines are, and b.) perpetually eager to infodump about them, has absolutely no problem - and is, in fact, very excited - with Ryuji asking for clarification.]
Lines of supernatural energy that crisscross all over the world - all over the world, even over the oceans. And as old as the Earth itself.
Suppose I misspoke when I said I wondered if there would be any here - there certainly are. But currently I'm looking for convergences - that is to say, the points at which two lines cross over each other and meet. It creates a spectacular spike in energy, thereby - in theory - increasing the chances of experiencing the supernatural, encountering an entity, finding a mystical artifact even. They're often buried along ley lines, you know - what with how many cultures' practices involve them on a spiritual basis.
[He's rambling, and he cuts himself off with a laugh that's left breathless from all his talking.] It's, ah...Well, it's my life work. I'm never sorry to discuss it.
[ that was a lot more information than he was expecting, and it still doesn't exactly make sense to him. at the very least he can say he knows a little something about the supernatural, though he is admittedly a bit disappointed he's not actually talking about conga lines. ]
Ooohh, so you're lookin' for ghosts and shit? [ in ley-man's terms.
he does have to wonder how Gansey would react to a place like Mementos...not that Ryuji's considering how feasible it would be to take him to a place like that. that would be very reckless of him. ]
Well they say Japan's the land of 8 million spirits, soo maybe we can find some of these line thingies after we get done chowin' down!
