[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?

I suppose so.

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

[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.

[Video]

[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.

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...

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

There must be. [He considers that.] I haven't heard of another world where the cataclysm takes place though.

[Video]

[cutestprogrammer]

You're spoken to some other people from Japan as well already?

Re: [Video]

[calculatedfire]

A few people, but only one seems to be from my version of it.
