[ modern to olde communication…. like clowns. ]

I guess if I know the principle’s the same, that’s half the battle?

w6, monday

[senjinrouha]

[ NOW SHE CAN SHOW HIM A SHOPPING MALL. so i'm sorry they're non-conned to the star circle for now. yuri is looking... well. wide eyed? might be the word? there's a lot going on here, alright.

so much.

he just sort of blinks and looks around and then at monika. ]

Is this what you were talking about when you said "shopping mall"?

[rerouter]

Ehehe, kind of! Isn't it exciting?

[A girl sure looks happy to be in the middle of modern society.]

[senjinrouha]

[ welcome to modern society, monika!! ]

Exciting's one word for it. I know the Upper Quarters have shops like this but... this is a lot. You need this many shops?

[rerouter]

Well, you're not wrong...

[senjinrouha]

It's somewhere where you shop. Is what I'm getting from what you're saying.

[rerouter]

Upper quarters?

[Rich people... She shrugs, though.]

To be honest, I don't think we need this much. I mean, the waste of resources is insane. But I guess no one can complain about not having enough variety.

[senjinrouha]

Rich people.

[ exactly that! ] Also people who’s cousin’s mother’s aunt might have been distantly related to the Emperor two bloodlines ago. Those kinds of people.

… There are a lot of different clothing stores and food stores aren’t there? Normally you just have one or two in a city — one for the normal people and one that does the fancy, classy stuff for people with too much gald to blow.

[rerouter]

Ah... I see. You'll find that kind of stuff here, too. It's way more ridiculous, though. Picture two sweaters that look exactly the same, except for their price tags.

[senjinrouha]

[ looks up. ]

Why though?

[rerouter]

Brand names. It's like I said, totally ridiculous!

[senjinrouha]

“Brand names”? Like…. persona A slaps a name on something but it’s the same as person B’s except for the name and then they charge differently?

[ …. CAPITALISM. ]

That sounds like a mess.

[rerouter]

That's pretty much it! Well, there can be a difference in the materials and production sometimes... But essentially, they're the same item.

friday, week six.

[In some part of the void, Monika flags Yuri down with a wave of her arm. She is? Still a good girl and isn't using her voice? Thanks.]

[senjinrouha]

[ he waves back. ]

Hey. Feeling any better?

[rerouter]

[Scribbling.]

Yes, somewhat. Nero's healing packs a punch!
Are you feeling better, Yuri?

[senjinrouha]

[ that's good. yuri leans over to read it and nods. ]

Same. Alphinaud's healing is pretty powerful too. It's healed enough I'm not worried about it.

[rerouter]

[She smiles. Goooo, Alphinaud!]

That's good! ♥
By the way, I want to ask for your opinion on the note we found.

[senjinrouha]

[ one of two of his favourite garden gnomes did a good job. ]

Oh, the one about anchors and connections? Sure, shoot.

[rerouter]

Do you think it's legitimate?

[senjinrouha]

You have a reason to think it might be faked?

[rerouter]

Nothing like that. It's as I said, I want your opinion on it.

[senjinrouha]

It's referring to the people who died, as far as I can tell. We've received letters from them, so we know they're still lingering there in spirit.

As for the anchor, well. What's something we all have and have had this whole time?

[rerouter]

[Hm. Quietly, she writes:]

Our daemons.
We share a symbiotic relationship with them. A "spark of life." They can't live without us, and we can't live without them.

[senjinrouha]

Yeah. They'd be a ... sort of energy, wouldn't they? But they're also part of our souls. I wonder if giving up their form would be enough. [ pravda lets out a small squeak, and scurries up onto his shoulders. ]

But there are our coins too.
