I was wondering...if anyone would like to play a game! After everything that's happened I thought maybe something fun would be good to take people's minds off of things.

It's called word association and you basically start off saying a word and then the other person has to think of another word they associate with it! It's really fun, and I think everyone could learn a bit more about each other playing it. Feel free to play with each other too. I. I just want everyone to enjoy themselves. So I'll start with the word: white! Now you have to think of a word that you associate with it.

But! That's not what I...really wanted to talk about. I. I also wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in learning sign language. I know we can all understand each other inherently here, which is amazing, isn't it? People can understand speech and writing but I'm not sure I've met many people who know sign language off the bat. I...think that learning a new language might be fun for some people, right?

[ Maaaybe?! He's so bad at this. Maybe this wasn't a good idea?! He doesn't even know. He's awkward so please don't rag on him too bad!! He's so not good with addressing entire networks of people and offering to teach people stuff. ]

Anyway. If you have any questions, or would even like to offer up your own language to teach or learn...please don't hesitate to speak with me! It could be like an exchange of sorts! And we could have weekly meetings, it might be fun! [ Or not. ] Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it!! And please have fun playing this game with one another!

[ Shigeru?! He forgot to mention to keep it PG-13, whoops. Please don't be too naughty. Think of the children!!

Ooc: assume this is after the Port Sylvel disaster! ]

Japanese? [ Doesn't know her, but it sounds amazing! ]

That's amazing! To be able to travel all over the world...I bet being here of all places didn't take too long to get used to then. [ Shigeru no! Just because he's well traveled doesn't mean going to an entirely new planet is easy!! ]

Well if you're familiar with learning languages, sign language ought to be easy for you.

Japan's an island nation on Earth. Does the Pacific Ocean ring a bell?

Not that it particularly matters, I suppose.

[ He's met some interesting folks here, so he's just going to write that off, now. Though he's totally going to turn this on him. ]

Well, this place is very different from anywhere on Earth. More...advanced, I guess. Nothing really has you ready for off-worlding.

[ Ah. You used the E word, Rohan. Shigeru shakes his head on his end, even if the other can't see him. ]

I don't live on Earth! But I have heard about it from other people. So Japan is another country then...

[ Interesting and he really wants to learn more. ]

Oh! Yes! I. I guess you're right. I know for me it's really different but I never really traveled much back home.

If not Earth, where are you from? Is it American Sign Language that you know?

[ He's about to start asking a lot of questions... ]

Where are you from, then? What is where you're from like?

My planet is called Kasuitiga! And American Sign...

No it's not called that here. It's Kasuitigan sign language! But people here can read it just fine, which is really interesting. A lot of things are similar in American Sign Language! It's kind of strange? But I don't mind it... [ He supposed it was also due to the whole understanding everything bit about this place. ]

My world is sort of like this one? I mean! Technology wise it's about the same as Kasu. And my world is...different; there's a few main continents and then several island nations around them. But there's also a place known as the void lands, where the dark god was felled. It's uninhabitable now and monsters come from there. But it's okay because people like me, phrobiests, fight them to keep everyone safe!

Interesting. So on this world's technology is similar to yours? Or do you mean - it has the same feeling? I have a feeling that no other worlds use people quite like batteries in the same way.

Yes that's right! Well...not the human batteries thing, but the virtual reality and robots. We even have flying cars and teleports in my world too!

[ Though nothing as powerful as interdimensional teleportation. ]

But you're right. I've never thought about people being...used quite the way this place does.

I wouldn't say it's necessarily unique that they are using people for power, but maybe in this way.

Regardless, that's pretty interesting. Where I'm from, we don't have anything such as that except in fiction.

So your world doesn't have magic and things like that either?

[ He just assumes that outlandish things would be fiction then. ]

My world also has magic, but it's unique in that not everyone can use it.

[ That's a tricky question, and he's been good about not talking about stands with people. ]

I wouldn't call what we have magic, but there are people with interesting skills there. Most people can't do it.

It's nothing like the magic you get here during the moons... which is pretty clearly magic.

Oh! I see! It's like my world then...sort of.

It's not a curse placed upon people, is it?

[ Shigeru??? Please. ]

Yes! I haven't really tried using the 'magic' during our moon phases, but apparently it's something you can permanently with a dusklight bracelet!

I wouldn't call it a curse.

You know, I hadn't considered that before. The magic we get can be pretty interesting. I like the illusions during Cordis personally.

So it's something that people willing want and get, then? [ It's interesting to think about powers that way, because no one in their right mind would ever want a phobia, regardless of the cool powers it might lead to. ]

Wait.

Cordis can make illusions?!

[ What the heck that's so cool?! ]

I thought they only had ice magic!

When I turned into the Kitsune with several tails, I could also do illusions.

And no, not one person volunteered for the abilities they have at home as far as I know.

So that's what you call them?! I was wondering what those fox like things were. A...kitsune. They're very beautiful but also have a sense of...danger to them as well.

I see. I guess a lot of people end up getting powers they don't exactly want, but don't mind either.

Well, it's still a fox. But it's a mystical fox, essentially. Similar to how dragons are mystical.

That's how it works out for the most part. I guess it's hard to be mad about something that only helps you.
