☆ Smile!
Feeling good! Still a little lost about this city situation, but I went to the high school clinic and they bandaged up my arm. Now Sumomo and I need a place to stay.. A couple people said I should check out uh.. Rati.. miru? LATIMIR, SIR! YOU CAN DO IT! Heh- Something like that, thank you, Sumomo. Can anybody tell me who to talk to about moving into an apartment there?

Oh! And I figured out how to use this uh.. radio, phone, walkie talkie-whatever you want to call it already. It's pretty primitive compaired to what I'm used to, but I'll set up an entry for messages in case any of you wanna chat with me in the future. I don't really know anybody right now, but it'll make itself useful at some point, right? At least I have a form of chat here at all.. You know, as primitive as it is, Sumomo can't really hack into it? Or connect to the network to transfer my messages? That's weird.

Hey Shinji, thanks for the drink the other night. I'll pay you back for it somehow! And uh, for letting me stop by the bar last night.

Chii, can you tell me how you're doing? I haven't heard a peep from you since I got here!

Uh, on a more serious note.. I have a question. I'm not sure how it works when you get dropped in this city- if it's the people around you, anything in contact with you, or just you and whatever's on you. I was close by somebody important to me, and then I was here.

[ Shimbo directs the camera on the communicator to a photograph of he and a young woman ]

Her name is Shimizu Takako. Has anybody heard of her? To be honest, I hadn't found a place to stay because I was scowering this city looking for her. I hope she isn't here, but if she is and you've heard of her or seen her, please let me know. I can't leave her alone..

I haven't seen a woman like that. Sorry. And Latimir should be fairly easy to get a room at. Just talk to Sora.

You're a friend of Chii's?

En...gliiish? XD
I understand. Not seeing Takako is regrettable.
Thank you.

As for me Chii is the friend. Chii comes from the same place.

I'm glad that you were able to find the clinic all right.

...

...No. I haven't seen a woman who looks like that in this city.

Sorry.

Yeah, I did. Thanks. They didn't even ask me for anything.

Dammit. I hope she hasn't been seen because she isn't here. Thanks anyway..

Of course it's going to be pretty primitive seeming. Do you really think that scientists keeping you here against your will are going to give you something that is of a similar standard to their own technology (presuming that whatever it is that brings us here isn't a one-off in technology, which doesn't seem to be the case).

Actually, I just figured that it was because things are a little more advanced where I come from. Apparently I'm from the future. You're right though, they'd probably horde all the good stuff to themselves if there is any.

It's probably a mixture of the two, but there are a few people here who would be able to make good use of more advanced technology, and not to aid the scientists. So, I can quite easily see them giving us something fairly basic - especially when you compare it to some of the other things they have.

It's kind of on par with some of the technology where I'm from, though. Well, like, the technology for public consumption, although I still prefer my own phone. Which I don't have.

It seems like a lot of the basic things here are in ruins. From what I've seen so far, most of these buildings don't even have power? This high school does, so I'm recharging my laptop Sumomo while I can. She still had a lot'a juice left, but I don't wanna risk it.

I have a cell phone too, and it's a lot better than this thing, but it isn't working here. I usually have my phone calls and voice chats go through my laptop though, since she's always with me. It's a lot more fun that way.

So how long have you been here?
[info]bakuhatsushinji wrote:

Yeah. Most of the buildings don't have power. This place is kinda desolate in places.

Ha. That's kinda impressive. From what I've heard, your technology is way ahead of mine. For me, that kind of thing would be far too much hassle. I just messed with mine so I could make free calls. So useful.

Mm... Probably something around two months, maybe approaching three.

That's bad news..

Yeah? What year are you from anyway? I'm learning all these different years from people, it's actually pretty interesting. I'm from 2026. Ha ha, you hacked your cell phone? I've been on message boards and shit for people who like to mess with things like that. I tried it out once, but it was pretty much a waste of a phone since I busted it! Ha ha!

I've been here for 6 days now. It's already driving me crazy!

It was 1997 for me. Woah, 2026, huh. That's quite a difference.

Yeah, well. I wanted free calls, what can I say! That's unfortunate for you, though. Although with your laptop like that, I guess it doesn't make much difference? Except to your wallet.

Ha. Yeah... Well, there's not much choice but to put up with being here.

Man I have a bad habit of not asking people's names lately! What's your name anyway? I'm Shimbo.

Yeah! It's kinda weird, thinking that I'm like the "space man" or something! Ooo, I'm from the futuuure! Ha ha!

Huh? Oh! I replaced the phone, but yeah, it was an interesting waste of cash! I mean, I had Sumomo in the mean time, but I bet I'd do it again.

What the hell do you do around here?

Shinji Mimura. Nice to meet you, circumstances ignored.

'Space man'? That's one way of looking at it! Although, it's kinda hard to say what the 'future' is in this place. I mean, people are from all kinds of times. Pretty ... odd, I guess would be the word.

It's something to do, right? It's interesting, and once you've managed to do it, you've managed to do it. If that makes sense.

Me personally, or people in general? In general, it seems like people spend their time complaining about a multitude of things, from the mundane to otherwise.

So you took my advice on that..

Hm. As for the other thing, don't worry about it.

Oh damn it..
Thanks a lot. Hopefully I'll find out she just isn't here and save myself a lot of grief. Not that that would be such great news either, but it would be better for her anyway..

If no-one has, it's probably safe to assume she's not. It's not often people arrive together or with the people they were with last.

That's a refreshing attitude to have.

You're right. It isn't looking that way so far. I just thought that since Sumomo came too that maybe it was whoever was close by me.

I mean- Sumomo isn't a person. She's my laptop. But.. there's another Persocom here and she seems to be here alone. That means these people thought of her as a person. So.. I thought I just.. kind of doomed Takako and anyone standing near me.

Yeah.. It hurts already though

Your laptop...?

It seems to be 'luck' who is brought here and who isn't. There are people here who have many of friends, and others who have none. It's difficult, but it's probably for the best.

You can just take an empty room and move in. I doubt Sora will mind.

A friend of Chii's eh? That's pretty nice.
Can't say I've ever heard of your friend though, sorry.

Simple as that? That's great! Gonna get there as soon as I can.

Yeah- well- sort of. Chii is my friend Hideki's Persocom. He doesn't seem to be here, though.

Oh.. thank you anyway. Hopefully she just.. Isn't here at all.

Re: {Text}
Alright, be careful!

Hideki... I think I've seen her mention that name a couple of times. That's who she... belongs to? What's a persocom?

I'll let you know if I do spot her.

That's right! Hideki's my best friend. She probably talks about him all the time, right? Yeah, she belongs to him. He found her brand new, just sitting in the trash! Can you believe that?! Lucky bastard. She has a few kinks to work out, but she has a learning system. When I talked to her a few days ago she sounded like she learned a lot.

You mean you- Oh. Uh, a Persocom is just a computer, but it's shaped like a human. Makes things more convenient. They make good company to some people. If they can remember that they aren't real, otherwise they get obsessed. Escorts. Running errands. Phone calls. Carry the groceries.. So you get all the power of a full sized computer, but it can come with you, helps you out, and takes voice commands.

Hopefully she isn't here, but thanks a lot.

Oh! I'm Shimbo. And you are..?

Wait, wait!

She's a computer!? No way! I knew she was a little... off, but she looks too much like a regular human to be... Oh man. Computers are that advanced where you're from?

I'm Mona Lisa. Nice to meet you.

Heh, yep! She sure is! And a real cute custom model at that. Too much power if you ask me, She blew out my laptop, but she's definitely a computer if you notice her EARS. (That's Electronic Audio Visual Relay.) Her ports and power switch are all in there.

Nice to meet you too, Mona Lisa. Cool name, actually!

She's a real cutie, and a total sweetheart. That's some real rotten luck. I did notice the ears, but I didn't want to ask or anything... Things must be really advanced for you guys to have computers look so... human.

Thanks!
