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.

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..

You're a friend of Chii's?
Thank you.
As for me Chii is the friend. Chii comes from the same place.
....
*Laughter* This is stupid. Text?
...
...No. I haven't seen a woman who looks like that in this city.
Sorry.
Dammit. I hope she hasn't been seen because she isn't here. Thanks anyway..
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.
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?
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.
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!
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.
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?
'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.
Hm. As for the other thing, don't worry about it.
about that friend of yours..It's not a big deal.

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..
That's a refreshing attitude to have.
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 thoughIt 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.
A friend of Chii's eh? That's pretty nice.
Can't say I've ever heard of your friend though, sorry.
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.
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.
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..?

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