[It starts a bit shakily, focusing on a pile of books. The camera angle is fixed again, catching a glimmer of a silver haired man behind the stacks of books (cherry red reading glasses, a little ponytail and a bruised face, this is Gokudera, and you weren't meant to view him), focusing eventually to a bigger, colored version of the map everyone has

[Here's a friendly voice, and actually almost like he's… explaining a lecture.]

As far as outer lands look like, it's mostly inhabited. Before the appearance of the city, most of it had been unexplored lands, undisturbed habitats. I can safely tell you that the terrain resembled that of my home. Huge bodies of water, wild farms, rough terrains.

Since the appearance of the city, I do believe some of the caves are being used as mines for all the silver and gold we have around. Terrain has shifted to a accommodate the new cities.

[A pause.]

A little hard to tell. Probably best if you can get an aerial view. Not sure about the headcount of those like us but, I'm guessing there's a lot of us now.

Did you want to go out exploring?

[fedele_tempesta]

I see, so it's mostly a case of either lacking maps or simply nonexisting maps rather than anything mysterious.

[He nods from somewhere behind a stack of books.]

I'm not sure about exploring, perhaps with time. I'm merely trying to get my head around the premises, in a way of speaking. Numbers and facts, all those dreadful and boring things, basically.

[A glance towards the Hitomi, he narrows his eyes thoughtfully.]

I've seen you before. What's your name?

[video]

[smiling_umino]

Mmmn.

[Iruka studies the face quick, just within a blink before lips curves upwards in an easy and disarming smile. The face is familiar to him too. Someone he's seen around the network ages ago, when he too had been a part of Kannagara.]

Iruka. Umino Iruka.

[A dip of his head.]

Last I remember, there had been nomads going around in groups. If there is anyone who probably know the unknown terrain better, it'd be them. They were pretty neutral back then. Though…

[A pause.]

Things have changed, I notice. Consider speaking to them, for your research.

[Smile, smile~]

[fedele_tempesta]

Things seem to have changed, yes. [Somewhat annoyed, a little worried, his tone of voice says it all rather openly. It's not meant to be hidden in the first place.

Sure he is used to being one black berry amongst many red ones but this is different. This is slavery and oppression.]

Ah...

[A beat.]

Gokudera, that is my name. [No 'nice to meet you', useless rattle.] Thank you for the suggestions. I think I shall talk to the nomads.

[smiling_umino]

Good luck, Gokudera-san. I just advice caution and to not venture out there by yourself if you can help it.

[With the hostility growing, there's no guarantee what even a strong man can encounter. In a way, it's them other-worlders against an entire world. Perhaps the sense of watching out for those one can refer to a distorted version of 'kin' can't be helped at this point.]

Gokudera-san.

[A dip of his head, polite, a parting greeting.]

[video]

[fedele_tempesta]

[A nod, the bare bones of politeness. Care takers, there's always few and Gokudera has already learned that insisting that he can take care of himself will result with nothing interesting in the least.]

Yeah, thanks.
