Shooting stars. Finally something familiar.

[he sounds faintly amused, pausing for a moment.]

Heh, wonder if all these worlds share the same sky.

Anyway, I need a weapon, and a good one. I know there's a weapon around, but I really don't know where to start. Any suggestions?

You mean you've seen them before? Lucky.

This is my first time... well, that I can remember. The city lights were always too bright for the stars back home.

[stilldontgotit]

City, huh? Can't say I've ever seen any big cities first hand. All we've got back home is a small town and the island.

[spiderphile]

I'm sure you'll encounter one some day! They're nothing special, really... they've all got bright lights and loud people and trains going a mile a minute.

But I have to say, it's the opposite for me. I've never been in a small town. What's it like?

[stilldontgotit]

Pretty boring. It's always the same old stuff, I'm sure even some noisy city would be better.

[spiderphile]

I don't know... I've always thought a small town was nice. They say you know everyone by name there.

It's easy to get lost among the crowds in the city. It's got its advantages sometimes, but it's kinda noisy otherwise.

[stilldontgotit]

Noisy, sure, but at least it's busy. When you live out on an island like mine things get old fast.

[spiderphile]

I'm sorry to hear that. But at least things are different in Luceti, right? You get to meet new people, hear their stories... it's gotta be at least a little fascinating.

[stilldontgotit]

They're definitely different. Not only is this a different world, but it seems like just about everyone's from other worlds.

The experiments, though? I could do without those.
