*Is already wearing a dress! ...Perhaps not proper evening wear, but close enough to pass inspection. Pokes her head in curiously.*

Oh, a ball!

I was, but I'm afraid we've filled up. Are you having trouble finding a place to say?

Yes, unfortunately. Do you know of any place where there's room?

Not off the top of my head, I'm afraid. I assume some of the girls' cabins must have room, but I don't keep up with them.

Ah, well, I suppose that I'll keep looking. Have you been well since we last spoke?

I have. You've been getting accustomed to being in the United States, I assume.

I don't really have any other choice, do I? Though the change in location isn't nearly as strange as being transported over a hundred years into the future.

A hundred years? I'm sorry--that must be very difficult.

Yes, it was [sometime in the late 19th century because Kaoru Mori never gives an exact date] when I arrived here. Though it's really not as difficult a transition as one might expect - I'm unfamiliar with much of the technology, and manners and dress have grown rather more casual than what I'm used to, but people are much the same no matter what time period, aren't they?

That's true. It's part of why the camp works at all, I think.

Could I interest you in a dance?

Certainly. *holds out a hand*

*takes it* I assume the music isn't what you're used to either.

*dancing goes here* Yes, even the instruments are different. Though I can't say that it's a bad difference.

I'm glad to hear that. Some of our time's music can be rather...unrefined.

In what way?

I enjoy some of it, but compared to the music of the past, some of the current music is...disorganized. It lacks structure and coherence.
