[fistsofmagic]

[There is only so long Torin can keep wearing the outfit she came on board with combined with the clothing she'd scavenged here and there, and only so long she can occupy herself with exploring and the things in her room.

Therefore, she is now dividing her time between going through luggage on Deck 12, and exploring the bazaar on Deck 08, and going

[missmimmi]

Ah, well, there was no magic in my world.

[fistsofmagic]

Was there an equivalent of sorts? [It still boggles her mind.]

[missmimmi]

Nein, I am afraid not.

[Unless you count science, but Mimmi doesn't really consider science "magic"]

[fistsofmagic]

[Science and magic are, surprisingly, not the same on Torin's world!]

Do you have electricity, then?

[missmimmi]

Of course.

[fistsofmagic]

Lights, heating water, powering electronics and the like I'm guessing?

[missmimmi]

That is correct. It really does make some things simpler.

[fistsofmagic]

[There's a noise of agreement, and silence for a bit, save the shuffling of paper.]

Mimmi, where did you say you came from again? [Not that she ever told Torin, lol.]

[missmimmi]

A country called Germany.It is in Europe.

[Not that Torin would have any idea what Europe is]

[fistsofmagic]

[No, no she does not. But she's stopped off in the library currently, so she makes a small hmm noise.]

There would be a book on this country in the library, you think?

What was Germany like?

[missmimmi]

I believe so, ja.

[Fff that question]

Well it, ah, used to be a nice place, I suppose. I heard the country is quite pretty.

[Life from the first World War and beyond basically sucked]

[fistsofmagic]

[You may hear beeping. Torin is using the computer system that Fred installed... or trying to.]

It wasn't a nice place anymore when you... left?

[missmimmi]

[Here, Torin, have a brief history lesson]

There was a war going on when I was brought to the ship. My family and I had been in hiding for several years because of it.

[fistsofmagic]

[Yay history lessons.]

That is regrettable. Wars are never a good thing... at least you are somewhat safe here... [But what of her fambly? Oy.]

[missmimmi]

I suppose it is a bit sad that I prefer this ship to home.

[Especially after what Gertie told her when she arrived]

[fistsofmagic]

[A pause. Torin still wants to go home, and probably always will, but at the same time...]

If you left in a time of war it's not surprising. I can't say I feel the same... but I do understand.

[A noise of success!]

I believe I've found a book on your home country.
