[ With a click, the communication feed starts.  Robin can be seen sitting near an old, dilapitated building with her arm still in a makeshift cast. ]

I believe that if there is ever a time for scholarship, now would probably be a good idea.

[ With her not-jacked-up arm, she lifts her hand to her mouth and coughs. ]

I'm not a medical scholar, however,

You shouldn't be outside without reason, Miss Robin, the ash!

...Any time in the morning during the week. Sundays I go on supply runs, and I'd like to keep Saturday as my day of rest. But perhaps it should wait until this ash is through, or your arm healed.

[darknesspill]

Don't worry too much, Professor. With the exception of those few seconds, I've been staying indoors and keeping clothing over my face--though, I've certainly been paying the price for being out and exploring as it was.

We can blame that on the pirate nature in me, I suppose.

Regardless, I think you're correct on waiting until the ash relaxes. Perhaps we'll find something more interesting then.

[puzzledprof]

I'm wondering why you went outside to make the entry in the first place. Was there not enough light indoors?

...Pirate?

In that case, I'll be looking forward to it.

[darknesspill]

I've ran out of books to read here and I was hoping the high school might have some of interest.

[puzzledprof]

Is that all? Had I known, I would have brought some to you.

[darknesspill]

Well, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you, Professor; I appreciate the kindness.

How are things on your end?

[puzzledprof]

It's no trouble at all.

I'm alright, all things considering. No injuries or illnesses. Silk and I've been considering moving out of Latimir, thanks to the damage.

[darknesspill]

That probably isn't a terrible idea, especially if there are future quakes; the building was already hit fairly hard once, who's to say it wouldn't happen again?

[puzzledprof]

Well, Marshall's held out for a year, even with all of the earthquakes. You're right, though. It's too bad we can't make more housing for ourselves -- if this city continues to have more immigrants, we're eventually going to run out of apartments.

bawwww franky ;A;

[darknesspill]

I wouldn't be surprised if there were other societies elsewhere on this planet.

Regardless, perhaps it's time there was an investment towards new housing? I'm sure there are builders here; although, maybe if we're lucky, we'll get someone from where I am from to come and help us . . .

...fffffff

[puzzledprof]

Nor would I. You've seen the television broadcasts, haven't you?

Oh? Someone from your world? An architect or builder, perhaps?

:| silly layton, pirates dont have TV

[darknesspill]

Television broadcasts? What's a television? Is it like telephones?

Franky is a shipwright, though, I'm fairly certain he's talented at building other things as well.

honestly at the time frame he's from he shouldn't either. schizotech ftw

[puzzledprof]

A television is a piece of technology -- basically a box that has sound and moving pictures on the screen in the front of it. Much like the video function of our communicators, only larger.

I see. It would be worth a try at any rate, if he ever appeared.

you just pinged her curiosity like a million times over wtg

[darknesspill]

How curious! Are there any around? I'll have to look for one soon.

XDb

[puzzledprof]

I believe so, but if you want to see one functioning, you'll have to wait for the next broadcast. The ones I've seen are broken, and I believe we've lost most of our electricity -- but they work during the broadcast regardless. I suspect either magic or advanced technology is involved.

oh layton you're her favorite non-sh member here;;;

[darknesspill]

How interesting. Please let me know if you see the next one. Perhaps I'll be fortunate enough to see it next time.
