Good afternoon! For everyone who's here, and listening to this--I want to know...!

Hey, hey. What was your own world like?

[ ACTION; ]

[ Menma is currently wandering through the city excitedly with a cheerful look on her face. ] Uwaaaah....! Everything is so different! I wish I could show Jintan and the others...

[ She looks to her Budew,

[thunderstomach]

My world was pretty normal compared to the world's of a lot of other people here. There were a few things people would consider strange, but not a lot of people knew about them.

[nokemenma]

[ Menma just listens for a moment, clearly interested in what she has to say next. ] Like what...?

[thunderstomach]

Well, there was actually a separate world that only a few people could get to and fighting robots. [Choosing her words carefully. She doesn't really think it's a problem talking about it considering how everything ended, but she also doesn't know how the others feel about it.]

[nokemenma]

Fighting robots...? [ Madoka can't even imagine. she's only seen that kind of thing in anime and manga. ] Wasn't that... scary?

[China smiles a little and returns a greeting.] Nihao!

My world? It's made up of several different countries and cultures, aru. And... this may sound strange, but for every country there is a human embodiment, or... guardian, of sorts.

[video]

[nokemenma]

Ah...? ... Really? But, you don't look like a country...

[video]

[gochuugoku]

I know I don't, aru.

I'm not a big piece of land that people live on, but my soul is connected to one.

[video]

[nokemenma]

Then... you must be really important to a lot of people.

[He's practically beaming-]

Imagine running as fast as you can, faster than humanly possible-or imagine you're able to do things no one else can do: fly, breathe ice, manipulate water, transform into anything. Imagine being able to help people when they need it most, being respected and loved by hundreds-thousands-of citizens, being able to make the world a little bit better-

That's what my world is like.

[nokemenma]

That sounds really incredible! Really, really incredible! Like one of the heroes in the movies!

[chemwhiz]

Just like them! That's why I'm doing everything I can to make this place a little bit better-even though it doesn't seem to need nearly as much help.

[nokemenma]

... I think that... if you're trying to do good like that, it's still... just as heroic.

[utterlyupbeat]

I'm pretty sure its normal in comparison to other people's.

[nokemenma]

really??? that sounds exciting! :)

[utterlyupbeat]

Normal is exciting...?

[nokemenma]

[ compared to menma who couldn't do much because... she's dead... ] mmhm! :D

[video]

[cockinthecrown]

The world I come from is full of conflict. The creatures are far more malign than those here and the technology isn't quite as [how to put this nicely...] developed, but it's incredible nevertheless.

[video]

[nokemenma]

... [ a beat ] You sound like you're a lot happier here...

[video]

[cockinthecrown]

[And talking about feelings is uncharted territory for him, so avert. Even if she's sort of right.]

I was stating fact, that is all. I would much prefer to be there over here.

[nokemenma]

How come?
