[Before heading out for the day's errands, Japan leaves a message on the network.]
Pardon my intrusion, but I find myself curious...
How many of you here work with electronics on a normal basis?
[With that, Japan takes Pochi and his journal and heads out across town. He can be found in the grocery store getting food for the Phantomhive house, ( Read more... )

What sort of technological expertise do you require?

Ah, I spoke to Poland quite recently on this very subject. I had actually been quite interested in meeting you as well - how fortuitous that I would stumble across you.
[He sobers in a few seconds, though.] However, I would have no real knowledge on where to obtain liquid display crystals, or anything else of the sort, here. Nothing like that ever seems to surface in the shops.

I am honored that you would wish to meet me.
...But yes, you are right. I've searched many times over for a viable replacement, but I have yet to find one.

The problem is unfortunately compounded by the fact that I have little knowledge on what a "television" is supposed to include. When I explained to Poland that such devices were no longer in use during my time period, he seemed somewhat concerned.

As for what we would use to watch broadcasts instead... most would simply use holovideo projections from a nanocomputer. The majority of homes have easy access to database terminals, and there are public ones for the few who do not.

Interesting...Holographic video projections are the way the future goes after all... [THINKING ABOUT THINGS HERE.]

What sort of world are you from then, Japan? Is it another Earth-like multiversion? Most of the hominids I have spoken to here are from one, with the exception of one.

And I am from Earth, yes. I have noticed that not all people here are, however.

That continues the pattern I have seen for hominids, then... I am most curious as to why there are the occasional exceptions. [He thoughtfully hums a little to himself.]

Perhaps the phenomenon that draws us here is only able to reach out so far.

I suppose that is much different from your world, then? So far I have yet to discuss much of Terra's geopolitical structure with anybody.
And that would indeed be a reasonable hypothesis, considering the usual targets of the inhabitants of this place. However, I have spoken to those who seem to come from places outside of Earth multiversions...

How many people? Perhaps it will reveal a pattern in the abductions.

[Robert's thoughtful for a few moments.
A certain Sergeant Lightning Farron, as well as one individual I spoke to who seems to hail from a spacefaring world. I didn't get zir name, though.
Everybody else seems to come from some kind of Earth-like multiversion.

It does seem that way, doesn't it.
