[Ryuho switches on the machine, but keeps fiddling with it a few moments, obviously trying to get a hang of the technology.]

Hello. [He began, his voice soft and almost vacant-sounding.]

Who's out there? I'm not sure what to make of these letters. Can all of this really be true?

[He pauses, shifting uncomfortably in the white outfit. His collar is blue.]

Is anyone else here from Japan?

Mn. I guess so. To my knowledge, those people didn't die and anyway... people who die here are revived.

There are many things that happen here that... are rather hard to believe...

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

I suppose so.

I'm told a number of people have strange powers.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

Yes, there are many like that here and also... many who aren't human.

I have been told by someone of my world that I am an alter-user, but I have no memory of it.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

An alter-user? What's an alter?

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

Alters are mentally controlled crystal constructs. And alter user has the innate ability to disentigrate matter and create an alter.

[cutestprogrammer]

Mentally controlled crystal constructs? What are alters used for exactly?

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

Alters vary depending on the personality of the user, but usually they are oriented for combat and defense.

[cutestprogrammer]

I see... is it a rare ability?

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

I beleive it is 1% of children born in the Lost Ground.

[cutestprogrammer]

The Lost Ground?

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

It was a part of Japan that was shattered by an earthquake.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

When... did this happen?

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

The first cataclysm was 22 years ago. There was another recently.

[That he has just been told he caused.]

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

22 years ago? Recently? In Japan?

What year exactly did all this happen?

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

Currently, it's 2023 in Japan.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

Oh... so that might have happened in my future...

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

If you are from before that, then I suppose so. When are you from?

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

2010.

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

Hmm, but the first incident was 22 years ago, so if it was the same world, you would have seen that.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

Oh... that's true... I guess it's not the same world then!

((Mun apparently fails as Maths... sorry...))

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

I suppose so. Its odd to think that there is a Japan on both worlds though.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

... well, I've heard that there are parallel worlds...
