I've sort of been surprised before about just how long I've been here, so I'll skip that part of this post and instead focus on how in that time I've met way more people than I would have ever expected. I spent a number of years traveling on my own before a bunch of wild adventurers shook up my life, so maybe I should be used to that. The difference between that and here, though, is how we're all from such varied, different places. Back home we were a scattered group across continents, but here in Vallo it's worlds.

I know this isn't news to literally anyone here, but it just had me thinking and I wanted to ask: what's your original home like, wherever you were before you were here? From those I've talked to, it's been a real variety with some having similar to Vallo itself, others from places with no magic, some in space. So, if you're so inclined, tell me about it.

Oh and I should add that the last thing I want is for anyone to get too overwhelmed or bummed with homesickness, so don't feel like you need to answer this if it'll be too much. I'm curious and want to get to know folks, but not so much that I want anyone to feel bad.

The world I come is made of four oceans and each ocean has hundreds of islands. Each island has their own weather and seasons. There are islands that are summer islands and islands that are spring islands. My favorite is autumn on a spring island.

Magic doesn't exist in the world I come from (at least I don't think it does. I haven't come across it yet), but people can be gifted with special abilities if they eat a special kind of fruit called Devil Fruits. For example, I ate the Hana Hana no Mi and now I can sprout parts of my body pretty much anywhere I like. My captain ate the Gumu Gumu no Mi and now he's a rubber man. The doctor of our crew is a reindeer who ate Hito Hito no Mi which allows him to transform into a human and reindeer-human hybrid at will.

	Oh wow, that's really neat sounding--the islands and the fruits. I don't think we have anything too similar to that back home, though we do have magic. Maybe that's the trade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's very possible. I've never thought too much of magic until I came here. I'd never seen it before, but I've seen it a bit since coming here and it's so interesting. All the different types! Are you able to do magic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, no, I'm not a magic type. Well, I can do very minor druidic magic, but it's nothing like my friends or people I knew back home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, I see. What is it like where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Have you spent much time out in the forest? Because it's a little like that. We do have big cities, but we don't have things like cars or the bright lights. We have horses and carriages and some places do have ways of getting around that are similar to cars a bit, but they're all ran on magic, not electricity or whatever the case might be. Magic is pretty common overall, I suppose. Not everyone can cast it naturally, but some will go out of their way to learn it or find other ways.

I haven't spent a lot of time in the forest yet. I've been getting to know the city first. But if what you say is true, then I should definitely spend more time there.

But your world sounds truly amazing. I wish I could see the carriages. There is something about a horse and carriage that I enjoy.

What else is your world like? Are there many cities, or is it mostly forest?
