UN: Akhet

[ahew_kha]

I... suppose I should introduce myself if I'm new, right? That'd be the polite thing to do.

My name is Kisara and I'm not that interesting, I promise. I also apologize if we meet in person and my English is a bit... rusty, it's not my first language and I'm still working on some words and phrases that are a little strange when translated. Not that... we don't have anything weird when translated from my native language, too.

With... that out of the way, is there any particular languages that are spoken here frequently other than obviously French and English? I didn't get to travel much before here so I'm always curious about how other countries are?

I'm rambling, sorry. Just wanted to do that introduction and apologize in advance?

It's the place where all the places that change a lot are.

Like places with big mushrooms, or candy houses, or upsidedown stairs.

There's a lot of other places but I don't have words for those ones. They were just other places.

[ahew_kha]

If it has that many places, is it like another... realm or world or something like that?

I don't know if that's even the words I'm looking for...

[soft_focus]

I don't know I guess so.

There's a lot more places there than in 'the world' though I'm pretty sure. Most of the things in the books about the world look the same.

[They do not look the same, they just all happen to have vaguely similar wildlife is all. Don't be rude Reira.]

[ahew_kha]

There's books on them? There's places here that look the same as well, but aren't the same. So who knows.

[soft_focus]

They're in the book place, called a library.

People told me to go there if I had more than 'a few' questions, so I just go there if I have questions mostly.

[ahew_kha]

I haven't been to a library in years, but I guess it'd be a good time to start again. I wonder if the books are in other languages, too. Since that'd be... more comfortable than using English.

[soft_focus]

There's things you can use to take pictures of words and learn what they mean.

[That's clunky Reira.]

[ahew_kha]

[Back up. There's what now?]

That's a thing?

[soft_focus]

Yeah.

I use the one where you say a word and it tells you too.

It helps with saying it right.

[It's also why more than a few people have mistakenly assumed she's fluent in English.

She is Absolutely Not.]

[ahew_kha]

I... need to find those, then. It'd certainly help a lot since I think I'll have to use English a lot more here than I ever did at home.

[Being fluent in English is for losers, clearly.]

[soft_focus]

I think if you ask one of the teachers, they know where they are.

I got mine from one of the 'doctors'.

[ahew_kha]

Doctors?

I'll... have to ask one of the teachers then, it shouldn't be too hard. [She does not like the idea of dealing with doctors here, thanks, Reira.]

[soft_focus]

Yeah. When I came here, I had to stay in the room where the doctors work for a while.

Then they said I had to stay here on the 'campus'.

[ahew_kha]

Were you sick when you came here or was it some odd precaution? Because now I'm wondering...

[soft_focus]

They said I was.

I don't know, I just came out from a place they said was in the Outlands, and had to stay in the sick room a lot.

[ahew_kha]

How odd...

But I guess it can't be helped if they want to make sure you're okay?

[soft_focus]

I guess.

They said all those things about staying at the campus though and then everyone left and they said 'you can go to this place if you want it's a vacation'.

The teachers don't make sense sometimes.

[ahew_kha]

A vacation? In a school? I don't... understand? [This poor dumb child is just as oblivious, eesh.]

[soft_focus]

They said 'there's no classes right now, it's time for vacation so we're giving all the students a special vacation if they want'!
