No good, they don't have... How does this even work? I'll stay away from it for now...

[Rummaging noises come from the journal, numerous but careful. It sounds like someone is exploring the item shop.]

I apologize for bothering everyone, but could anyone recommend objects that are helpful to a household? Specifically, objects that are necessary for

I'm not familiar with... any of those unusual items, either.

[He's usually forbidden from touching any of that since all of those microwave exploding incidents.]

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

They're lightbulbs, and we need half a dozen of them, apparently. But everything else is still incomprehensible to me.

Of course... those are for the lights. [Ever since that first time last year when he nearly tried to... turn them off with water, he's been wary of doing the right thing with those.] Much of it is very strange. After about a year of such technology, I still only know the very basics.

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

That's still more than I know. Everything might be useful, but it's also quite confusing.

[dragoon_pride]

I know... It does take a while to get used to.

I'll simply have to practice until I can manipulate all those strange objects easily, then.

[Household, fear for your safety.]

[...Please don't blow up the house and kill them all.]

I can show you how to use the lights.

[Yes he's become... so very adept at that one, at least.]

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

[He won't! ...Deliberately.]

That would be very helpful, thank you. They do seem to be the most common of these objects.

[Oh good. They are all potentially doomed.]

Their technology also has adverse reactions to water, so don't ever try to douse them. Think of it as being lightning-elemental.

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

What exactly would you consider an adverse reaction?

[written]

[dragoon_pride]

...Damage that's like a Thundaga, only worse. An incredibly stupid death.

[He knows he'd never live it down if he got killed in that way someday, so he's been extremely careful.]

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

...No water near anything technological. Right. I'll remember.

[dragoon_pride]

You'll get used to it with enough time.

[written]

[puppet_paladin]

Because the people who don't do not last very long?

[written]

[dragoon_pride]

That's right. We've no choice but to adjust.

[voice]

[puppet_paladin]

Those who come from worlds with such technology have the advantage, them. Has anyone tried to completely reject it?
