1 Star - Video

[Touma appears to be on the floor of the library surrounded by books. How many of these on the floor with him have actually been read already is unclear but it looks like he's made himself a nice little nest.]

Well the library here isn't too bad. It's clear that we're meant to be comfortable during our stay here so apparently that's a start. [He brings a book up to glance at the cover then sets it aside.]

It still is very different from what I'm used to but I can appreciate the advances in technology. Probably more so after I get some video games to play.

[Pause suddenly.] Oh, Shin? I had a question for you when you have the chance. [And he hangs up.]

I like all the books I'm finding here. These should keep me occupied for awhile.

They are quite nice, though there's terribly little information on Lamufao or the religion that surrounds it, or the history of the city, or... anything useful, really...

Ah, but that doesn't mean it's not interesting!

I was noticing that. Not that it stops me from wanting to read the books though. Even this little bit is interesting enough.

I am glad to hear it. I consider the pursuit of knowledge to always be worthwhile, even if it's not about something you think you need at the moment.

Please, don't let me interrupt your reading.

It's fine. I have plenty of time to read more.

I'm Touma, by the way.

Touma.

[She's heard quite a few names that sound like they might be from the same area, but it's rude to assume.]

My name is Zelda. It is good to meet you. I do hope that you don't consider it too rude, but may I ask what world you are from?

[Zelda. That's...a familiar name.]

I'm from Earth.

[She seems pleased.]

Oh good, I thought so. I've been trying to learn the sounds of other planets. It is somewhat difficult since we all hear most words in our own language, but names seem to be unaltered. There are many people from Earth here in Vatheon, aren't there?

Are there? I haven't really talked to that many yet.

Oh, yes. Japan in particular, I have noticed. Perhaps it has something to do with population size? Earth has billions of people after all, but my world for example does not even have one billion sentient beings.

It's strange that the majority would be from Japan, Earth.

Is it? Are you located on a ley line perhaps, or is it densely populated?

Many of the cities in Japan are rather densely populated.
