Hello? Anyone out there?

My name is Yoko. I was taking a well-deserved rest, and I guess I fell asleep...Where is this? Am I dreaming and can't wake up? Ugh...I hope that isn't happening again...

I suppose that depends on which philosophy you study.

[xxgunslinger]

Where I am depends on my philosophy?

[born_crooked]

Whether you're dreaming and can't wake up. Or, I suppose, where you are depends as well.

[xxgunslinger]

What a complicated idea! It's not something my subconscious would come up with--guess I'm not dreaming, then.

So you don't know where we are, either?

[born_crooked]

I do if you're in the same location as I am.

[xxgunslinger]

Cheeky device! Of course you are!

[born_crooked]

Oh, OK then. If we're in the same place, it's called Disturbia City.

[xxgunslinger]

Disturbia City? That's a...pleasant name.

[born_crooked]

There may be insect people.

[xxgunslinger]

"Insect people", huh? Kinda like Beastmen?

[born_crooked]

... Beastmen?

[xxgunslinger]

You don't know what Beastmen are? I must be farther from home than I'd hoped.

They're cloned soldiers. We used to be at war with them until their creator, Lord Genome, was defeated. We get along pretty well now. Well...most of us anyway.

[born_crooked]

That sounds like something from a science fiction film.

[xxgunslinger]

Really? It has been reality to me ever since the day my village had to move to the surface.

[born_crooked]

... The surface?

[xxgunslinger]

You're an inquisitive one, aren't you?

Yes. All humans were forced to live in underground villages during Lord Genome's rule.
