I guess the food is a bit suspect...

[ i look at him... he looks at me... and i look at him ]

It's just a little thing, but it's fascinating, isn't it?

[discomfort]

It is. It's at least one of the gadgets I recognize here.

[ none of this weird biotech shit!!! ]

They're very useful for music and sending out broadcasts.

[mansplains]

The rest of this tech is unfamiliar to you?

[ ye old.... ]

[discomfort]

Yes... I do know the concept of things like texting, which is sending written messages to each other through devices, but I am pretty sure it is nothing like this?

[ he has never done it before so he still sounds like he is questioning it ]

[mansplains]

I can't say I'm used to it, either. The technology we have back home is so much different....

[discomfort]

Hm? What kind of things are you used to?

[mansplains]

Fontech. We've got our own radios, robots, but.... really, nothing as advanced as here. Shoma's robot puts everything we've ever built to shame.

[ and he said he made it out of scraps... ]

[discomfort]

He's really talented, isn't he? I can't believe I'm from the same time as he is, he's way more advanced than I am.

[mansplains]

You are, really?

What time is that?

[discomfort]

We are both from Earth, around the same era, I believe...?

But our Earths may be different versions of each other. It's hard to tell here.

[mansplains]

Earth, huh.... Well, it doesn't sound familiar to me.

It seems like we come from all sorts of different places.

[discomfort]

Mm. It does seem like there are a few Earths, at least, so you will likely hear someone else mention it at some point.

Your profile says you are from Auldrant?

[ the way i tried to spell that from memory at first and got it so fucking wrong ]

[mansplains]

[ don't worry francia it's a terrible thing to spell ]

Crazy to think there's multiple versions of the same planet.... honestly, this has been really eye-opening for me.

Yep. As far as I know, there's only one out there. Anise is from there too. [ if it wasn't obvious ]

[discomfort]

You would probably notice similarities if there was more than one... for me, it was just when the same names kept repeating while discussing home.

[mansplains]

Yeah, I can imagine. But it must be hard to get used to, knowing there's another version of your home...

The same names of places?

[discomfort]

Like Japan, for example. It is my country.

[mansplains]

Japan.... [ guy repeats it. does not sound familiar ]

Same names of countries, but different event.... kind of mind-blowing to think about.
