[Working at the library has its good sides and downsides. The good sides: lots of books, meeting people and discussing said books.

The downside is... well... sometimes it's slow. And Souji ends up flipping through books, typing down random questions that pop into his head.

Only now- instead of *saving* it, as Futaba taught him, he accidentally posted the entire list of questions he gathered.]

➡️ What happens when you're scared "half to death" twice?
➡️ If you write a book about failure and it doesn't sell- is that a success?
➡️ Why aren't blueberries blue?
➡️ Why aren't there ads for advertising companies?
➡️ If I -save time- where do I get it back?
➡️ If space is a vacuum, who changes bags?
➡️ Why do "wise guy" and "wise man" mean two entirely different things?
➡️ Can you cry underwater?

[...he seriously needs to learn how to use new technology. Fast.]

[Voice]

Hey, everyone. I hope you're all in good spirits today.

[The voice coming across on the network is friendly enough. Legault isn’t here to be sleazy...for the most part.]

It’s been a while since we all had that dinner to remember together, hasn't it? I’ve been thinking since then, and I’m sure you all have been as well. You’re a helpful lot like that. Here’s my question for you, then. Do you consider yourself to be a Hero of Light now? Do you feel any more heroic? Or maybe you were a hero back home? I guess I’m curious.

[And then there’s silence for a moment. Unfortunately for someone else, he starts speaking again.]

That reminds me. My roommate—her name is Mòrag. I fear she’s been a little lonely lately, and I hardly ever see her socializing. If you see her, won’t you try to befriend her? You have my gratitude in advance.

Text - 02 (Backdated to 6/10)

i have a lot of questions and not a lot of answers and i don't even know where to start looking for them in this place so here it is

who is narayana?

has anyone ever fought a crystal zombie before?

has anyone ever seen crystal pillars destroy the world before?

who on this world responds to "your majesty"?

has anyone figured out why we're here yet and who are the gods of this world?

what happens to people when they die in this world?

i saw some stuff in the dreamwidth and i want answers. i think people who were in crytallis might know since the crazy lady called us "heroes of light."

Hello, my name is Komaeda Nagito. This is the first time I'll be addressing everyone, it's a pleasure to directly interact with everyone who was amazing enough to be styled a protagonist.

But first, let me get I to what I would like to talk about. There are two topics I'm interested in.

1: If you were ever in the world called Christallis, can you share your experiences there? Or agree to an interview?

2: Is there anyone I interested in archeology? Though not an immediate plan of action, I feel looking into that will bring I interesting discoveries.

[ Despite an... enlightening? conversation with a coworker, Sylvarie still found herself wanting more perspectives on a topic that had been increasingly nagging at her.

To ask those from different parts of Vaikuntha was one thing, but what of asking those who were from different worlds altogether? Maybe one could at least provide some sense of peace. ]

I understand everyone is still settling in to life here, trying to discover for themselves how our world works. But the truth of the matter is, those who have been recovered from the Dream Width have made their own contributions to Vaikuntha as well, with their technology, cultures and customs. molding our way of life over many generations.

With that in mind, I would like to ask what it means to be an 'adult' in your worlds, what responsibilities come with being deemed as such? Does it involve a rite of passage, or is a person merely proclaimed as such once they are of a certain age? Even here what a person may or may not do differs drastically depending on which country you are in.

... And would those adult responsibilities mean going to a chocobo festival is out of the question and childish?

[Today you are all graced with the visage of the Mars marshal, who has finally decided maybe it's time he brings something up here on the network.]

Howdy folks. Name's Sparks Nevada, if we haven't met yet. Before this planet, I was on one called Crystallis. Though before that, I was on Mars, and originally, I'm... from Earth. Thing is, I know a few folks who're from Crystallis that are here, too. It was kind of a similar situation. Y'know, the whole getting dragged outta yer home to be forced to live on another planet with crazy magic and chocobos and all that stuff. The difference there was that we were all considered to be somethin' called "Heroes of Light" and we had to basically save the planet -- the whole multiverse, actually -- from gettin' annihilated. Yer welcome, by the way.

Thing is, there are sure a lotta coincidences on this planet. If the jobs and the races 'a folks and all that ain't enough of a clue, the place names are a dead giveaway. Half of them are named for the Heroes from Crystallis. Even I got one - Sparks Goldsaucia. Pretty cool. Reckon it's all a bit too much to be a coincidence.

Bonnie also brought up the map to me, and... [He looks that over in a separate window.] If ya squint just right, and slide some bits around, sure as heck does look like Crystallis. Durin' that whole apocalypse thing, the planet did get kinda messed up and broken, so I guess we wouldn't have known what the continents looked like after all that. Woulda taken some time to re-map, and I was only there for a month after the whole ordeal was over. Had a planet to get back to marshaling, ya see.

What's my point to all this? Guess my point is that I don't believe in coincidences. The universe is, like, both too big and too small at the same time for that nonsense, if'n that makes any sense at all. It does. I think.

01. AIRSHIPS!! [Text]

I didn't know we were gonna get the chance to get our own airships! I know I missed being able to wake up and see nothing but sky and clouds out the window. Made drying the laundry a lot easier, too.

But that kinda got me thinking- you couldn't get very far without an airship back where I came from, but a lot of the people I've talked to have said they've never seen anything like them before! I know a few people here have had SOME sort of flying machine back in their world, though. If yours did too, I gotta know- what were they like?

For that matter, how many other pilots do we HAVE here, anyway?

Video [With bonus linkshell issues]

[Hey, it's some guy standing in his bedroom wearing street clothes. But in the next moment, with a rush of power, he's adorned in a set of armor. It's a mingling of steel plating, chain, and coarse fur draped over the shoulders, topping a cloak down the back. The giant hammer was lifted, swung like it weighed nothing, and settled against the fur-covered pauldron. The grin he gave the camera was pretty toothy.]

Yo! Name's Kanji. I said I'd go all out and be myself, so here I am.

I make stuff! Y'know, dolls, knit blankets, a whole bunch of cute shit. And there ain't a damn thing wrong with that, y'hear me? But I'm officially offering my services in makin' stuff like that for... y'know, birthdays or whatever.

But this right here's my gear for my Berserker Asterisk, and I can put somethin' together for you guys, too. I'm takin' commissions for job outfits, either to make 'em myself or work up design sketches to have made later once your mind's all made up.

...Uhhh... [He paused, and his expression faltered as he tried to think of something. Then a gloved hand went to mess with his hair as he gave a small, unsure growl in his throat. He had to be forgetting something, and it wasn't coming to mind.]

Yeah, I think that's it? Never advertised before. But I gave it a good shot.

[He nodded to someone off-camera, and the feed cuts.]

( But an hour later... another video pops on the network. )

[open video, 4/20 squeaky voice] | Skill Sharing!

[ The screen blips on to Hunk, reclined across a couch. Balmogra the moogle's pom-pom occasionally drifts into the top of the frame, and Hunk's eyes keep glancing towards it. As he starts talking, he's entirely oblivious to the fact that his voice is high-pitched and squeaky. ]

Hey, so with other people asking about things like our stories, our worlds, and our jobs, I realized that we don't actually know a lot about what we can all do! Like... I learned that some people have never been grocery shopping before! Or some can't cook! Or some people don't know how technology here works. Since we're all stuck here, we might as well try to help each other out, right? So what are some things you know or want to know?

Me, I know about cooking and engineering and mechanics. But I don't know anything about magic. Or how to defend yourself from a monster that's up close and trying to eat you. Or how to use a giant fork in a fight? Or why they use forks here to begin with.

[ He pauses for a moment, looking almost uncomfortable, and then- ]

And if you're embarrassed to say something you can't do, you can always send it to me and I'll mention it for you!

[ 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... ]

[The feed opens on a... skeleton. A fairly cartoonish skeleton with goggles, a red cape, and a labcoat, in fact. A handsome fellow, in his not so humble uponion, though with the way his eye sockets are slightly narrowed, he may be ever so slightly frustrated. But only slightly! He's not one to embrace negative feelings.

But today, Papyrus has a very important announcement to make.]

GREETINGS, MY FELLOW OTHERWORLDLY TRAVELERS! THIS MAY ALARM YOU BUT I AM, INDEED, A SKELETON. NO, I AM NOT A ZOMBIE. NO, I AM NOT GOING TO SPOOK YOU OUT OF YOUR SOCKS. THAT WOULD BE RUDE. AND ALSO POTENTIALLY SCANDALOUS. WE DO NOT NEED STRAY SOCKS LYING AROUND.

I'M BRINGING THIS UP BECAUSE A STRANGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SEEM SURPRISED BY THIS FACT, EVEN THOUGH SKELETONS MOVING AND TALKING AND BEING GENERALLY FRIENDLY AND HANDSOME FRIEND MATERIAL IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE. BUT PERHAPS SOME OF YOU DID NOT REALIZE THIS!

MY KIND, THE PROUD MONSTER RACE, HAS BEEN TRAPPED BENEATH A MOUNTAIN FOR A LONG TIME. ...AND THERE IS THE SLIM CHANCE THAT OTHER WORLDS OPERATE UNDER DIFFERENT RULES. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER CAN OF WORMS ALTOGETHER! METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING.

[As if he had to specify.]

SO! IF YOU WISH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT COOL SKELETONS AND THE RICH HISTORY OF MONSTERKIND, I'LL GLADLY OBLIGE. ALTERNATIVELY, IF YOU'RE A FELLOW FAN OF PUZZLES (AND I'M SURE MOST OF YOU ARE), THEN PERHAPS WE CAN TALK PUZZLE DESIGN. I'M THINKING A FEW PUZZLES HERE AND THRE WOULD REALLY BRING THIS PLACE TOGETHER. PERHAPS SOMETHING WITH SWITCHES... PLATFORMS? SWITCHES ON PLATFORMS? THE POSSIBILITIES ARE LIMITLESS!!!

[He's rambling a bit, but to be fair, this is a communications network! It's a great way to find people with similar interests! But there was something slightly alarming...]

ALSO, PLEASE DON'T MURDER EACH OTHER! THAT'S GENERALLY VERY BAD. DO NOT DO A VIOLENCE! I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED, BUT IF I MEET THE MOOGLE WHO DID THE MURDERING, I WILL... GIVE THEM A VERY STERN TALKING TO. PERHAPS GUIDE THEM BACK TO THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE! I BELIEVE IN YOU, POTENTIALLY VIOLENT STRANGER!

[There. That should cover it for now.]

01: Reality $ TEXT

[Okuyasu opts for a text message rather than a video as 1) it's kind of easy to figure out after some practice - it's like a computer, only the keys don't get stuck and 2) he hopes fewer people will recognize him from the tiny icon.]

you know after the past few days i think im finally getting that this is all real
that im not dreaming that i woke up in outer space and went to a planet where magic is real
does that make sense?

i guess what im trying to say is i suddenly realize that i was sleeping in a real bed in a real house and ate real food
but at the same time i cant completely accept it yet
and its confusing

i know it sounds pretty dumb but thats how I feel
