Day 363 - Open
[VIDEO]

[The image is shaky at first, but then a black-haired girl appears with her head turned around. She seems to be following someone else's instructions and talking to someone off-camera.

--Like this? So I just start talking and people will see Kaya? Mmm, okay!

[She faces forward now, her cheeks a bit pink and her big eyes filled with insecurity.]

Hi there? My name is Kaya, and I just got here, and I don't really understand this place or what we're supposed to do here and... [Deep breath.] Sorry, sorry, I got carried away and talked too fast.

I got confused and thought I had died, and this was the afterlife. But Zeno here told me it's not? Is that right? Are we all really alive?

Um, also... I was really sick, back at home. I should be dying from my disease, but now I'm feeling fine. That's why I thought I was... So, uh, what I wanted to ask is, where can I find a doctor? I want to know if I'm truly cured, because I don't want anyone to catch it from me. I need to be sure. But don't worry, I'll go far away from you guys if I...

I'm doing it again, sorry. I just want to know.

[Yup, she's more worried about getting people sick than being suddenly locked up in a strange place.]

[ACTION]

[This cute girl walks around the trees in Sector 3's residential area. She sits on a bench and stares at the ocean sky above it all. The lack of stars in the sky is strange, but she finds the water fascinating and soothing. She doesn't wander around, as the place is much wider than everything she's seen in her short life. Any house around her is several times large than her old house. Are those castles? To her, they are. Everything in that land is vast, just like the sea. Just like the street goes on and on.

Her eyes are a bit red and her sweet smile is sad, but she'll be fine.]

	Ah! Like this but with a veil? [She points at her own jumpsuit.] That makes more sense than what I imagined! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, like that! What were you imagining? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...Robes that smell of stinky mud or something strong to repel them. I think I got them confused with other animals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I live in the mountains so I don't think so. Bears, maybe? Wild hogs? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-02 08:49 am UTC (link)
	Maybe bears. I don't think I've ever met a bear... I hit a raptor over the snout with a broom, once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-03 12:43 am UTC (link)
	I've seen bear skins. What's a raptor...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-03 08:24 am UTC (link)
	Oh, it's a dinosaur! Like a... like a big lizard? With huuuge claws on their big toes! I think there's still a bunch of them over in Sector 6, so be careful if you head over there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-05 07:56 pm UTC (link)
	Lizards with big claws? That sounds a bit scary! [She's not imagining them large or dangerous enough. Just dog-sized harmless geckos that happen to have kitty claws on their feet. Similar to tiny komodo dragons.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-06 09:49 am UTC (link)
	They can be! I don't think they mean to, though... they're just animals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-07 02:00 am UTC (link)
	Then we'll be careful not to go to the part with the... raptors, was it? Thanks for the warning! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-07 09:29 am UTC (link)
	Sure thing! This is really not a bad place, if you know which areas to avoid and which events to uh... be careful around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-07 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	It's been nice so far to me. Although I can't tell what places to avoid because I can't read the map. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-07 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	You can't read the map? How come? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-10 12:58 am UTC (link)
	I can't read, so I don't understand the names of things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-10 08:33 am UTC (link)
	Oh! Oh, I'm so sorry! Do you... would you like to learn how to read? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-10 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	I'd love to! I mean, even if I didn't, I need to learn to even understand stuff here. Uh, but Euphie told me that people always read in the language they speak. I'd have to be taught by someone who speaks Koukan. [And Chuck doesn't look like someone who would, at least not as a native language.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-10 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	Would it..? I mean, I'm not sure. I never taught anyone to read before but I know six languages and I've never come across anything weird with the translators. Besides, if you don't wear the communicator, that doesn't matter anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-10 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	Miss Euphie told me to turn this thing around so I could show her my map with the stuff I see. She couldn't read it. What if I do the same so you see the letters I see? [But more importantly.] Six languages?! Wow! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-11 08:53 am UTC (link)
	I had a lot of time on my hands, growing up. Learning languages seemed like a good use of it. [ Even tho it makes her feel like she's promising more than she can provide. ] We could try it! In person, of course, this would be weird otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oooooh. I had a lot of time, but I had no way to learn anything new. Maybe experimenting when cooking, at most. You're really smart.

Okay, if it's not too much trouble! I don't know if my husband can read, so if he can't either we can try to figure it out. Still, I want to show you what I see.

[She turns the communicator enough so Chuck can see her map. The characters are definitely an Asian-based system, some similar to ones in Korean's Hangul, but not being the same language.]

[ This is an awkward thing because she can't take her communicator off to look at what Kaya is showing her, since the communicator is the only way she can see the video. It also auto-translates everything so the characters unfortunately come up as... the latin alphabet. ]

We'll have to do it in person, this thing translates everything. I don't see the same thing you see.

	Ah. One thing, though. If we do it in person and remove the thing, and let's say you don't understand it, how will we understand each other? I can teach you spoken words but how can you learn my language's letters? I've never learned another language so I'm curious about how it works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pushedback 2016-03-16 07:16 am UTC (link)
	We just put on the communicator again, of course. You understand me now, don't you? And... if you don't know the way your language is written, then I probably can't learn it either but there's nothing saying I can't teach you mine. If you're interested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fadingsunshine 2016-03-16 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	That would also be cool! I've never had the chance to even hear a different language, so I'd like to learn if it's not too much trouble! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
