Summer 01

[when it clicks on, have a face full of dirty red headed kid. She looks absolutely delighted by the fact that the console works, and her words seal the deal]

Holy shit, this thing really works?! This is so fucking cool! So, I turned this on and everyone else can hear me, right? This thing’s like a mass phone call or… Oh, wait. Is this what it was like being on TV?

[she pulls out a book from her backpack]

Well, I’m reading a book about anti- gravity… It’s impossible to put down. Pfff. Okay, okay, I won’t read my good ol’ pun book to everyone, but if you ever need a joke, let me know.

Also, I’m looking for someone. His name’s Joel, he’s kind of older, brown hair, talks with a pretty thick Texas accent.

And if anyone knows where I can find a bunch of books in English, that’d be awesome. Last place I went to, they were all in this fucking weird script! No good if you wanna actually read something, you know?

Western Europe. Specifically, the Southern French region.

[mightythinice]

That's really cool! What's it like over there? I only just left Boston pretty recently myself.

[unetrustworthy]

The countryside used to be really pretty. I'm not sure what it looks like now; it's been a while since I've been home.

[mightythinice]

From being here, or from something else?

[unetrustworthy]

Both.

[mightythinice]

What's the other thing, if you don't mind me asking?

[unetrustworthy]

No, I don't really mind.

But you said you didn't want to talk about depressing things anymore.

[mightythinice]

Oh. It's that sort of thing, huh?

Yeah, let's not. I've had a lot of that lately.

[unetrustworthy]

There's not as much here, fortunately.

[mightythinice]

I hope not. This place looks pretty rad, I think

[unetrustworthy]

It's alright.

Some of the people here are really nice. Not the kedan, so much, but the other Foreigners.

[mightythinice]

The kedan seemed like a friendly bunch. [just a touch of an eyeroll]

Anyone I should know about?

[unetrustworthy]

[A name does immediately come to mind, although Midii was fairly certain that was not the kind of anyone the older girl was referring to. So she thought longer about it. Realizing just how few people she actually knew.]

Besides the Emperor...I'm not sure. It depends on what exactly you're looking for.

[mightythinice]

Dangerous people. Maybe really helpful people, but dangerous people mostly.

[unetrustworthy]

Some of the kedan can be dangerous. The gangs. They don't like Foreigners. I'm not even sure they like each other.

[mightythinice]

Well, I'm used to that. But, okay, I can avoid people like that. Thanks, Midii.

[unetrustworthy]

You're welcome, Ellie.

I wish you luck. Call me if you have any more questions, alright?
