Hey everyone!

The trip around Vaikuntha has made me realize we barely know anything about what everyone's homes are like, don't we? It's important to learn more about this world if we're to live here, but it's even more important to get to know each others if we're going to live here together. I think we could learn a lot by sharing neat details about what our homeworlds are like.

I come from a planet called Earth. We have no magic or magitek, no jobs or monsters between cities. Most of these things belong to the realm of fantasy and imagination where I come from. It is what the people of my world excel at, creating stories and imaginary worlds with words and images for people to enjoy. We have technology kinda like what they have in Oktavia, but not as advanced.

But anyway, that's it for my homeworld. If you'd like to share what your world is like, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks for reading,
Monika

Earth appears to be quite a popular planet.

Regardless, yours does sound quite a bit different from mine. While people here love to speculate about alien life, we have never had any objective sign of extraterrestrial existence. It does sound like life on your Earth must be quite difficult.

Thing is, even though there's a pretty substantial chance that everything will be on radioactive fire at any give moment, it's pretty contained. Most people don't even know about Gems, outside of particularly creative historical anthropologists with an unorthodox view on mythology. I'm pretty lucky to have gotten involved at all.

You're so young though, wouldn't you have enjoyed to spend a normal life away from these troubles?

[conniemaheswaran]

I honest would've felt really guilty if I just ran away. Earth is my home too, don't I have a duty to protect it?

It's noble that you think that way. I won't try to dissuade you, the world would be a better place if more people thought like you.

Thanks! In my opinion, everybody can be a hero if they just try. I'm proof of that. Just... two years ago, now, I was practically a bystander in my own life. It's just a matter of, you know, trying.

I agree, hopefully we'll see a similar trend here.
