[Video] December 7th | Morning

[zusealgorithm]

[here appears a man: white hair, light eyes, pale skin with a strange mark on his forehead, even white clothes with faintly glowing circuits. He's surprising adept with the communication device even after only being in Death City for a very short amount of time. He's grinning ear to ear with a smile that could put the best used car salesman to

[It's a shock of red hair and a face so pretty it could have belonged to a girl. Except it doesn't. It belongs to someone who looks perpetually happy and curious.]

It's pretty neat out here, actually! But I'm pretty sure most people call it Death City instead of the User's World.

I'm Takuto. [And another smile, just for good measure.]

[zusealgorithm]

[smiling right back. someone else is curious too!]

Just as the city exists inside the Grid, so Death City exists in the User World. It's quite the same really. Except not, in quite a fundamental way.

Greetings, Takuto. And what is it you find the most "neat" about this place?

[gingaprettyboy]

[He has no idea what this whole "Grid" and "User World" means, but just smiles, nods, and moves on to the question.]

Hmmm... there's people who can turn into weapons! That's pretty neat. [He pauses for a moment and then continues.] And I think the sun and the moon are kinda bizarre, but neat in their own way. I just like meeting new people, though!

[just one small part of a whole, but moving on!]
We don't have "sun" and "moon" in the Grid, so it's all very bizarre to someone like me. But I find new acquaintances enticing, not matter how strange.

Yes, the concept of changing forms is simply riveting. Have you done such a thing? What's it like?

Re: [video]

[gingaprettyboy]

Well, I'm a meister, so I don't change shape. But I've tried resonating and that's... [He blushes very slightly] ... interesting. It's cool to see people change into their weapon forms.

Are you a weapon or a meister?

[video]

[zusealgorithm]

Define "resonating" if you would be so kind. I've heard the phrase but not in context of other terms I'm familiar with. It's a bond, so I assume?

To be perfectly honest, I haven't checked. Weapon or Meister means no difference to me.

[video]

[gingaprettyboy]

It's uhm... [The blush continues.] Well, it's like... you do it with a partner... or someone you think can be your partner.... [Oh no, this is not sounding at all like what it's like, and he's just embarrassing himself.] I'm... not very good at it. [Yep, this is sounding like something else entirely.] I can't explain it very well.

[Emergency subject change!] Er, you should find out if you're a weapon or a meister though. It's good to know.

[video]

[zusealgorithm]

[He may not have answered the actual question, but Castor thinks he understands what the blush reflex signifies in Users now. With a knowing grin] I know of something that meets that description. [what subject change?] But it's a little intimate, don'tcha think?

[video]

[gingaprettyboy]

[He splutters incoherently for a little bit, fumbling with the communicator and nearly dropping it. After he swallows and tries to regain his composure, he continues doggedly on.] It's... kinda. But it's n-n-not that!

You have to get your souls to match up. And the weapon should be, er, a weapon.

[video]

[zusealgorithm]

[he's really pleased with himself now, thank you. But he'll be nice and let you off the hook for that one. Sorta.]

Oh~ So many new things that I must learn. I suppose I cannot "resonate" unless I know which function I serve. I guess it simply can't be helped.

[video]

[gingaprettyboy]

R-right. [He still feels incredibly embarrassed--almost as badly as the last time he really tried to talk to strangers via the communicator.] And you're right, meisters resonate with weapons, and obviously vice versa. It doesn't work it a weapon tries to resonate with another weapon. Er, unless there's a meister involved... I think.

I d-don't really know! [Well, the entire conversation was now shaping up to be awkward and not very informative.]

[video]

[zusealgorithm]

[Don't let this shake your confidence about strangers and the communicator. He thinks you're doing rather well under the circumstances]

You've been very helpful. Thank you, Takuto. But now that the tour is over, do you know who can classify me?

[video]

[gingaprettyboy]

Uhmmm... any meister with an ability called soul perception can do it, I think. [He pauses for a moment, trying to be as helpful as Castor seemed to give him credit for.] There aren't very many of them, though. I suppose you could do a network post and ask for the closest one?

[video]

[zusealgorithm]

[There's the spirit! Trying to be helpful through encouragement!] When I get all settled in, I will do just that.
