*The feed clicks on to show Jr. looking like a typical kid who just got exactly what he wanted for Christmas.* No way! Are those what I think they are? The Taj Mahal? I think I saw part of the Great Wall of China, too. Damn, I've only seen these things in history books and Lost Jerusalem literature! This is one hell of a Christmas present! Huh? Of

Comments

[Audio] Forget to put this thing in. orz

[looseleafbook]

So there are other odd buildings in tha other quarters too?

I saw part o'tha Wall myself from tha Clinic. Tha Taj Mahal definitely deserves checkin out, it was impressive last time I saw it.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

Yeah, looks like they're all over the place.

*He sounds awed at the next part.* You've seen it before?

[Audio]

[looseleafbook]

Heh, 've pretty much been all over Europe 'nd parts o'Asia. I was a historian at home.

Might have ta visit tha other quarters just ta see'em all.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

Damn, now I'm kinda jealous. I've never even been to Earth.

I know I will.

[Audio]

[looseleafbook]

's a place torn up by war 'nd development, 's not a pretty place some times.

If ya want a walkin Encyclopedia with ya just lemme know.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

What year're you from?

*Hello new favorite person!* Really? Cool! I bet there's a lot that didn't actually make it into the history files we still have.

[Audio]

[looseleafbook]

's about near tha middle of 1897 er there 'bouts.

[O-oh dear. Well, at least he doesn't mind kids.] Ahaha, ya can say that. Some o' tha stuff I know I can't tell ya 'cause of tha oaths I took.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

Damn, that's way back. I'm from the early TC 4800's, which is about 6800 AD.

*Only this 'kid' is almost ten years older than you...* That's alright, I know how that kinda thing is.

[Audio]

[looseleafbook]

[There's a whistle on the comm.] That's a long time ahead a me.

[Shorter = kid to Lavi, or at least younger.] Good. Then ya won't be poutin when I say that I can't say.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

Yeah. We've still gotta deal with wars, though, just all over the galaxy instead of just on a single planet.

*His height always drives him nuts, too.* Don't be surprised if I know a fair bit already, though. I know pretty much everything that did stay in the history files.

[Audio]

[looseleafbook]

Wars are inevitable. [Slightly bitter tone.] 's long as there're humans, there'll be wars.

[Lavi's gonna have a blast with you and Hitsugaya, seriously. Nicknames all around!] They started censorin more of tha records? 's lovely. What about tha records here? Rhode mentioned a library.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

*A sigh and a knowing tone.* No kidding. Especially with the kind of technology we have.

*Only this one actually has a sense of humor about it.* More like they didn't bother to write it down when books fell out of use. And every time I go into the library, I wind up with a huge stack of books about other things before I can find the history stuff.

[Audio]

[looseleafbook]

Mine's...bad enough fer tha time period. Probably wouldn't make much of a dent in yers.

[All the better!] Tch. Got lazy ya mean. Well, 'll try ta fill in any gaps tha idiots left.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

Wars are damn nasty in my time.

*Expect him to tease back, though.* Yeah. Not many people really care about Lost Jerusalem culture...thanks, though. Know anything about literature?

[Audio]

[looseleafbook]

Yers is on different planets er ships right? I expect so... [He will question Jr about this later for sure.]

Lost Jerusalem? 's that what they call Earth histories? ... Depends on tha literature.

[Audio]

[books_n_battle]

Yeah. *There's gonna be a lot Jr. won't want to talk about, though.*

Yeah, nobody even knows where it is. What kinda literature do you know about?
