[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 another smile. Good good!]

It does sound basically the same then, yeah. [Though if she has something like an Xbox and something like a Playstation...] Do you have any game consoles in Gameindustri that sound like 'Nintendo'? With family-based games and a lot of motion controls.

[threesixty]

Nintendo? Hmm ... That sounds somewhat familiar.

[Wait, family-based games? A lot of motion controls? That has to be ...]

With your description, though, it must be something similar to Lowee's console. Their games are mostly family-based, and have you swinging around a suggestively-shaped, tiresome to use controller for almost every title they release.

[sleepybuster]

[Well that one doesn't sound like Nintendo.. As far as the name goes, anyway. The description sounds about right though, and it matches the Wii--oh. Lowee. Wii. Maybe..?!]

That sounds like the Wii we have back at home, but not all of the games for it demand that. [...And now he has another question, but he gets the feeling he shouldn't ask...] ..erm.. When you say suggestively-shaped controllers though...

[threesixty]

When I say that, I mean it. With the way some of those games make you shake them around, it's hard to think of them as anything but unsafe for the average family to see in use.

[sleepybuster]

[. . . o h. Thinking of it now...]

...U-uwaah... I-I... guess I can see that then.. Uhm... [...awkward.]

[threesixty]

It's terrible, isn't it? I'm stunned that such a family-centric console could have such an enormous design oversight.

[Man does it feel nice to make fun of Blanc's console without having to worry about her swooping in and cussing her out. Vert might even sound a bit like she's enjoying herself right about now.]

[sleepybuster]

[It certainly does sound that way. He'd wonder why that is if it weren't for the fact that she did imply earlier that she made the uh.. Leanbox in her world. So the Lowee would be a rival, right? Or something like that.]

Y-yeah... That is a little awkward, now that I think about it.

[threesixty]

It is, isn't it?

[That smile stays, but ... well, it just doesn't seem as fun to poke fun at Blanc's stuff when she's not around to have any sort of reaction. Really, it's starting to depress her just a bit.

As such, she pauses for a moment before trying to switch topics.]

What is the name of the nation you come from, by the way?

[sleepybuster]

Yeah, it is. [Wow. He's not going to be able to look at a Wii the same way ever again now, is he?]

The world I come from is Earth, but my country in particular is named Japan. It looks like a lot of people here come from there too, but I think they're different versions of the country from mine.
