[It had been three long weeks since Vert first arrived in Luceti. There was the typical confusion, anger, helplessness, and so on that many new feathers with world-saving abilities have, but she's mostly gotten over that. Mostly.

Still, there was something about Luceti that really bothered her. Disturbed her, even. Something she tried very hard to ignore, but after a while, simply couldn't anymore.

So, in an effort to clear up this horrid image she had in her mind, Vert flipped open her journal and started a voice entry.]

Hello, everyone. I have a question for you all, if you'd be so kind as to answer.

[ ... ]

Do all of you know what a video game is? More specifically, an MMO? It's okay if you don't know what that is, though. The former, less specific question is much more important.

I hope to hear your responses soon!

[... Sure, she was ending it just like she'd end one of her blog posts, but whatever. The journal seemed to be the same thing, anyway!! But please, Luceti, clear up her doubts! You can't all be from such terrible worlds that you don't even have terrible shovel-ware Lowee games with tacked-on motion controls, right?!]

[Oh, a girl responder! Hmmm ...]

Is that so? What sort of games do you two like to play?

[disistsubomi]

We play racing games and fighting games. Things can get really heated! And, um... Just what exactly is an MMO?

[threesixty]

Ooh, those are some good genre choices.

[Yes, fighting and racing games, excellent. Vert starts to get a bit excited, but that lowers tad when she hears the girl's question.]

You don't know about those? They're online games you can play with people all around the world. They're all almost entirely for the PC, however.

[disistsubomi]

R-really!? If I could get a hold of something like that, then I could make even more friends!

[AND POSSIBLY CHANGE HERSELF A LITTLE MORE IN THE PROCESS...!]

[threesixty]

Of course! If you make friends with the right people, they'll even power-level you and give you their extra items. That's the mark of a true friend in an MMO!

[Because Vert would never give out her items hell no.]

[disistsubomi]

Uwoooooh! That's amazing! Manly passion is burning through my entire being!

[threesixty]

[That's an interesting choice of words ...

.........

... Maybe she can convert this one, too, ohohohoho ...]

Say, what other kinds of video games would you like to play some day? I know of a very interesting one involving butlers ...

[disistsubomi]

B-BUTLERS!? Um, um... Are they really handsome?

[threesixty]

Really handsome. They'll do anything you want, too.

[disistsubomi]

Kyaaaa... Anything I--

[disistsubomi]

[disistsubomi]

T-t-that's... Ohh... I wish I could meet a boy like that in real life.

[threesixty]

Well, playing it would be good practice for that, wouldn't it?

[And then, the finishing blow--!]

Also, they're all naked, so it'd be perfect practice for a lot of different things, I'm sure.

[disistsubomi]

Eh? EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!?

[HER VIRGIN EARS.]

[disistsubomi]

I-I-I'm v-v-very sorry, but I-I-I might have to pass on that...!!

[threesixty]

Oh? That's too bad. [... Bah. She'll get someone else hooked on her naked butler games, then. This girl did sound a little too young to properly appreciate them, anyway ...] Well then, let me know when you change your mind. I don't have my hands on that game or a PC yet anyway.

[disistsubomi]

[HUFF. Welp, that left a good scarring image on her mind... Not like she's seen worst, though.]

... Do you really think that you can find those kinds of things here? It looks like a normal village without anything of that kind of stuff if you ask me.

[threesixty]

... Now that you mention it, I'm not sure. I certainly haven't seen any promotions for new releases, let alone any electronics depots.

[Hmmmm ...]

Maybe if I asked nicely, the Malnosso would consider giving us such things. I'm sure they know that improving the quality of life would make us more willing to do what they want.

[Not really, though. Vert just wants video games to play.]

[disistsubomi]

[Huh, Tsubomi pauses about that... If it were the'old' her, she wouldn't say such a comment, but after CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT--]

Um... Are you sure that you just don't want to play video games for yourself?

[threesixty]

[--E-erm.]

Of course not. Why would you think that?

[... That might have sounded a tad forced.]

1/2

[disistsubomi]

I would say it's obvious! I'm not sure if video games would help out beyond entertainment, but...

[disistsubomi]

Y-Your intentions aren't bad, so I would still like to play with them. I don't think video games should be played by yourself.

[threesixty]

I see. Maybe I was being a little obvious.

[But--!]

Regardless, you're more than welcome to join me if I manage to get any games or consoles. Most of my nation's video games are co-op as it is -- it'd be tiresome if I only played them on my own.
