Dear City;

I hope all of you are well, especially after that horrible cannibal curse. Even though people came back to life, that seemed a particularly cruel idea of the Deities'.

I've heard others than me wonder about the sense in bringing all of us to the City and inflicting all these curses and things upon us. Do you know if anyone has tried, or is

Hello human-girl! What's a shinobi?! Your elders let you do medical work all ready?

Video; lol forever <3 awwww

[Rin looks very confused for a second, then looks twice and smiles.]

A shinobi is another name for a ninja. And yes, they do. They have to, because my village is at war.

I won't get bio till I'm older. Mostly I have "basic repair" and maths.

Is a ninja like a soldier? Who is your village at war with?

[original_medic]

That sounds very interesting! What do you do in your classes?

Yes, it's very much like being a soldier. We are at war with some of the other ninja nations.

Learn to build stuff and fix stuff. And make new stuff out of bits and pieces of other stuff. And learn how to tell if something is good-design or bad-design. And we learn how to do experiments.

I make flyer models! Except Aion breaks them 'cause he thinks they're toys. He's a soldier, and so is my brother Chrono, and Viede and Genai and Rizelle. I'm the only tech, but Rizelle is pretty good at some tech things.

I bet you're a really good tech, I can tell you know a lot of things about it!

Your friends and your brother sound nice. Are they at war as well?

I want to learn how to fix everything when I grow up.

They're in training, we aren't at war with anybody but everyone has to protect Pandaemonium.

Hehe, that was why I became a medic, too. I wanted to fix people who were ill.

Your home sounds a lot like mine. We want to protect our people and our city too. What is Pandaemonium? Your city, your world, or a person?

[brainsnotfists]

[Giggling]

Yes! All three! Pandaemonium is our queen, and our world, and there are cities inside.

[VIDEO]

[original_medic]

I'm not sure I understand; it is both your world and your queen?

[VIDEO]

[brainsnotfists]

Yes! She's the world, but she also has a body to walk around in.

[VIDEO]

[original_medic]

That's pretty amazing! So is she kind of like a god?

[VIDEO]

[brainsnotfists]

I don't know. "God" is a human thing. Teacher says that humans have a lot of them, or sometimes, just one. Pandaemonium is the queen, and everyone's Mother.

[VIDEO]

[original_medic]

She is the place where you live, and also a person, and your Mother...

I think maybe I do understand, even if that's very strange, but in a wonderful way, to me. And your teacher is right; in my world, people believe in several gods.
