[BZZZZZZZT--] Ouch, all right! Um...

[pause]

.... Does anyone like RPGs? Or MMOGs? Specifically MMORPGs? MMOFPSs? MMORTSs? MMOSGs? Or MMOSGs?

I'm not familiar with those, I'm afraid.

[whiteduplicity]

Really? What year are you from?

Or.. ah, where are you from?

[smilingmage]

I've been travelling for a while, the last country I was in was called Recort~

And yourself?

[whiteduplicity]

Recort...? I'm unfamiliar with it, unfortunately.

Earth. Domino City, Japan.

[smilingmage]

I do hope I get to travel to Japan whenever we get out of here, it sounds like a fascinating place~

[whiteduplicity]

It's where I was born, so.. Maybe I'm a bit biased. But still, it definitely is!

[smilingmage]

And they have ... RPGs and MMOGs there?

[whiteduplicity]

Yes!

Oh... And RPG stands for "role-playing game" and MMOG for "massively multiplayed online game".

[smilingmage]

Ah, how do those work~?

[whiteduplicity]

"Role-play" means to take on another's role, like pretending. As in.. pretending to be a knight, or whatnot. Then you play a game with that.

MMOGs use the internet -- a kind of electronic network, if that's an all right way to explain it -- and is basically interactive in that you can play with dozens of other people around the world.

[smilingmage]

Those sound like a lot of fun~!

[whiteduplicity]

It is!

I'm sorry, I hope I didn't make that sound confusing?

[smilingmage]

Ah, it was an adequate explanation. I've never seen anything like the "internet" before, so it's a bit hard to imagine, but I think I get it~

[whiteduplicity]

... Okay, I'm glad then.
