[ Kara faces the screen all but completely relaxed. It’s a huge change from her last post. She bites her thumbnail nervously, but apart from that she looks practically happy. Once she realizes she’s doing it she puts her hand down and addresses the camera. ]

I’ve been thinking, and I’d like to know more about Earth. Not just the places and the food, but the culture and history. There are plenty of other interesting planets I’d like to learn about, but most of the people here seem to be from Earth, so it’s probably the best place to start.

[ York said rebuild. Maybe now she’s building something new. It’s hard to say really, but her curiosity is what’s driving her now. That and the awkward social conundrums that arise from not knowing what any of this Earth stuff means, translation or not. The anonymous texter said to start with what she knew and work her way out. ]

I have a friend who’s from Ireland. She showed me around New York a little bit. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about her home?

[ There. That’s a good start, right? ]

[nope, not even in small doses, given his experiences, but he doesn't tell her that]

Do you have school in like your super technologically-advanced planet or something?

[notdreaming]

Of course. Education is incredibly important to any society. [ How else would they develop a super technologically-advanced planet? ]

[fotia]

Right! Of course. [he chuckles] For a second there I thought you had like smart-brainchips or something to let you know all there is to know about anything.

We have sunstones that carry information, but you still have to learn.

[fotia]

Sunstones? [omg omg??? he perks up in excitement] How do those things work?

[notdreaming]

They're crystals, coded with information that can be read by consoles all over Krypton.

[fotia]

Whoa! That's so awesome! Do you have one with you? Can I take a look at it?

[notdreaming]

I don't. The only one I had shattered after I got it to the ruins of Argo... [ Of her home. And it showed her father getting shot. Not something she really wanted to remember. ]

[and in classic leo style, he is oblivious to your suffering 8'(]

Oh. Man, that's too bad. I really wanted to tinker with one!

[and at the mention of "Argo" he brightens considerably] Hey, I know an Argo too! It's my ship, though, called the Argo II!

[notdreaming]

Is it? [ That's actually interesting in a slightly less painful way! ] Argo is the name of the city I come from.

[fotia]

What are the machines like over there?

[notdreaming]

How do you mean? It's difficult to explain.
