[ It'd kinda taken a backseat with everything else going on, but there's still something that's been bothering her a bit. She could just dismiss it as a kid making things up but... after everything she's experienced here, and back home, she's got a gut feeling there's more to it.

She can't search the internet like she used to but... well that doesn't mean crowdsourcing is off the table. ]

Hey, did anybody else run into a weird girl on their first day here? A little kid, blonde hair.

Also does anybody know what the name of this "linkshell" means? Kali Shashidhwaja. She mentioned that, along with telling me that "she" would try to hurt me if I ever lost it and was alone.

[ As a final note, she added the two pictures the girl had doodled, described as follows: " There was a crude drawing of a feminine figure with purple eyes standing over what appeared to be the corpses of a human and a moogle, looking a bit eerily similar to Futaba and her moogle even though the drawing was crude. " Along with "This time the figures looking like Futaba and her moogle were standing alive, and were surrounded by other figures. They faced toward the purple-eyed figure, who seemed to be fleeing."

And now, to see what information others might have... ]

Connie scratches her cheek, lips pursed. That same thought had been bugging her.

Yeah, that's the part that's confusing me too :/ The simplest answer is that somebody with a flare for the dramatic from Earth somehow ended up in MogNet Central, but something tells me that isn't the case. I think out best bet is to try and dig into the software of our slates, but I'm not that good a programmer.

I've been trying, but the tech is really different from on Earth. I'm sure I can get it. Codes always have a logic to follow, but it'll probably take some time.

In the meantime we could always try to look for more info on others from the Dream Width. Especially if they've been as rare in the past as everyone's been saying they were.

[conniemaheswaran]

That's a great idea. I'm sure we can track down one of the previous arrivals somewhere. Maybe the Curti Center has some files we can use?

[promiselisting]

Probably. They probably have files on this Mognet too. Who founded it, key developers, stuff like that.

[ Useful things to know! Especially when looking for connections. ]

[conniemaheswaran]

Alright. Then this is our plan going forward?

[promiselisting]

Seems like it. Tomorrow sound good?

[ So, y'know, she has time to mentally prepare herself and any questions to ask of strangers. And maybe get someone else to go along. ]

[conniemaheswaran]

Sure. See you!

[ Hold the iMog just a moment, Sylvarie has been monitoring the entirety of the posting since it went up, and when she sees this particular exchange she can't just let it slide. ]

I'll save you both the trouble. Please do not go asking the Curti Center for information in regards to otherworlders. For the sake of their privacy as civilians, we are not at liberty to disclose their personal information and whereabouts. They have already been questioned various times when they arrived and after, it is considered classified.

In addition, many of them are elderly and have no interest in sharing further information with us in regards to the Dream Width and everything related. Biggs and Wedge are the only ones who stepped forward.

[ Challenge Accepted. ]

Well that makes still two people we can talk to.

And that leaves our leads on the Mognet open too. Unless historical information about technological development is off-limits now too?

[ Not to mention under-the-table inquiries but she'll be saving those until she has a better knowledge of the tech here. ]

[alborada]

[ Bring it. ]

Yes, it was made clear from the beginning that they are available for questioning, perhaps even eager. They can be reached through the Mognet at any time, or you may visit them in person on weekends.

[ She even provides the information, though already she was making a note to send the two an apology of sorts. Heaven knew how the newcomers might approach them in due time. ]

If you want that information, you may ask in Arito or Von Oktavia, they are the most likely to provide the best answers.

[promiselisting]

[ Well that changed tone rather quickly. She's not particularly mollified, however. ]

Oh I will check those out, believe me.

[ On all counts. And then some, with a little luck and Phantom Thievery shenanigans. ]
