❤ 1st Phase: Text/Audio ❤

[On the network, Mia starts a post with a simple text entry. She types several things to practice typing - simple words, like area, "The World" (a couple times, as she figures out how to capitalize), and sometimes just randomly presses keys. When she's done, it looks a bit strange;]

area the world. The world. The World. Rnfjhbdspw1246. ! :) ?

[Soon after that is the Audio section of the post.]

So this is what it looks like on this side. Very interesting. I've never had to use keys like that before. I wonder what the controls for a character are actually like.

I've been exploring the city. I see there are a few ways to travel besides walking, and there's no warping. Can someone explain to me what they are? They're rather interesting looking things.

Well, that doesn't sound boring, at least. Alright, I'll go with you.

Great! I could either meet you at your room, or at the tram. Whichever you'd prefer.

I'll see you at the tram.

[She hasn't actually settled into her room at all, yet.]

See you there.

[Way to go, Mia. Though yes, he'll definitely be there! At least he stands out, right? That bright yellow scarf could be spotted miles away.]

[You simply can't stand out as much as Mia, when it all comes down to it. She's waiting, and she grins when she sees Ryoji.]

[True facts. Though he'll give a wave when he notices! Smiling back at her.]

Hey! You weren't waiting long, right?

Not long at all. So, what's this interesting thing you want to show me?

Well, I guess the first thing we could do is ride the tram, right? A lot of great sights are seen from up there. Plus it would be good to get a feel for the transport here.

Alright. I've wanted to try it. Show me how it's done.

Can do. All aboard!

[He'll hang off of the door, offering a hand. Ladies first, after all! Even if they're cat ladies.]

[Interesting! She gets onto the tram, ignoring the stares she was getting in favor of peering through the windows.]

A pretty small space. It's even smaller than a dungeon room.

That just means we get to be closer together, right? [Wonk]

A dungeon room? Boy, your world sounds interesting.

It can be. It depends on the people. It's always more fun when there's someone there.

And was someone always there?

Hmm... not always in the fields or the dungeons, but there were simply so many areas to explore that it was just unlikely for there to be someone in every place.

But that was nice. It would have gotten tiring if it wasn't easy to hide from them.

That's true. Plus, it's always nice to have a moment to yourself, right?

Right. Though that's not so hard to get.

You're welcome. I'm delighted to be of assistance. [She really is! It makes her feel useful. Without her usual mountain of work to do, life in Hinoto-Ri can be a bit dull.]

That's true. Especially with that many areas to explore.

Interesting. Is there anything else you would like to tell me?

[It's not accusatory - the tone of the question is very odd for what the question is.]

So. Is this place the same? Is there a lot to look into?

Well, is there anything in particular you would like to know?

I'm curious to know what you find important to tell me, actually. That should tell me plenty.

Well... the city itself is divided into twelve Wards, all named after the different signs of a fortune-telling system called the Zodiac. You can find a map of the city and information about the Wards at City Hall, which is located in the Leo Ward.

Interesting map design. I'll look into it, then.
