001 - ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!!

[As Box’s feet hit the ground, he freezes and looks around confused. His lips slowly part as his eyes are checking the strange place he has just arrived at.]

Hey, uh, excuse me? [Hesitantly takes a few more steps, and pulls off his cap.] Meredith-san? Wow... [Alright he can look at the place now, because he couldn’t really do that the first time.] This is so neat, how did they make this? Some kind of laser or 3D technique? It’s fascinating it can be seen without the glasses, I mean not that I haven’t seen something like that already at the Sony’s presenting room, but still. It feels so real. [Kneels down to pat the floor with his gloved hands, because it’s fascinating, but spots something as he looks around.]

Information? Oh, I’m kinda in need of that! [Grins happily as he skips to the kiosk and takes a brochure. His expression turns more confused.] Eh, Astral Plane...? Multiple universes, what...?

[Box takes a moment to proceed, but then he gasps out loud.]

Live roleplay?!

What, do you find beauty intimidating? I suppose that is understandable but it must make things slightly awkward.[Is still amused by him.]

[Firesong gives him a bit of a blank look] ...Online? [Guess how has never even heard of the internet before?]

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Beauty is fine, it is fine, but if it's a beauty, I mean a girl, then it's not fine. [Box said, holding up his hand, showing it's alright, and finally looked at Firesong. Wow he was familiar from somewhere.]

Online. As in, on the internet. [Hah, then he will have a hard time--]

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

[Firesong raises an eyebrow at him] So you do not like women?

[Again with the blank look] Just what is an 'internet'?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Not really. [Bits in his lips.]

What is an 'internet'?! What is an-- internet?! What is-- It's the greatest thing ever existed, it's something as necessary as tea or food, or breathing, internet is the future...! Don't tell me y-you don't know what is it...!

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

[Firesong gives him a slightly measuring look] Do you prefer men then?

[Firesong now has an odd look on his face] While that certainly is impressive it does not answer my question. I honestly have no idea what you are talking about.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Ah, eh, no no no no! Not like that it's just women are scary! Real women I mean.

[GASP.] Really? You... you never used internet before? Where do you come from?

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

While I will admit there are several women I know that might be called frightening at times, I wouldn't go as far as to say all of them are terrifying. Have you had bad experiences with women before?


[Sighs] Is the thought truly that amazing to you? I was born in the Pelagir Forest, but I'm currently serving as a representative of my people in the Valdemar royal court.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes they are all frightening! [Pauses at the question.] Maybe. [His voice is a bit higher.]

Yes, because lately everyone is using the internet even my friend's great grandmother too to find her classmates on the net, even if they might be dead already, but still! Everyone is on the internet these days. Wait, what? Those names sound like some MMORPG... That Forest is in Europe?

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

Women are no more frightening then men to deal with. [He does note that change in voice.] Just what is it about them that frightens you so?

No, not in this Europe of yours. And while you have done a rather magnificent job of telling me what this 'internet' of yours can do, you still have not told me what it is.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

That, I agree. They both uh, impure and filthy. [Box pauses before the answer.] Stuff.

Eh, my Europe...? It's not mine, it's... well I'm pretty sure it's the European's! [Grins.] Oh, uh, so the internet is a world wide and public computer network system. Yes, it's used for, well, basically for providing information, but it can be used for so many other things too. Like roleplay. Or downloading ero animes.

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

Now that is a very jaded view of humanity. There are still some good people left.

So it's an information network...I suppose that would be very useful. [He still can't understand half of what Box keeps telling him, but at least it's a start!] And people...contact each other through it?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

But only a few and if you don't search enough you won't find them. And I don't intend to search in the dirt! [Smiles almost proudly.]

It is useful. It's the future, they say. Soon, everything will be on the internet and everyone can access it, because the most wanted thing is information. [Nods nods.] Of course, you can practically talk to anyone who is online.

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

While I will agree with you that you shouldn't lower yourself too much, if you become overly picky then you won't ever meet anyone of worth.

I...see. [Not that he really does, but he's not going to allow Box to know that.] Information has always been useful, no matter who you are or where you come from. It sounds like it lets you talk to people that you normally wouldn't be able to reach. I've seen communication spells like that, but they usually require great amounts of energy to use.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Bites in his lips. Firesong talks a bit like Yui and it's bothering.] I can't help it. [Lame excuse.]

It's pretty exciting, but there are a lot of weirdo out there [...says the kettle.] so I usually stick to my communities. Wha, communication spells...? Ooh, you are from a fantasy world then? What is your cosplay? It reminds me of Ayame from Fruits Basket, but not exactly...

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

[Box does sort of remind Firesong of someone else he knows] You should at least make an effort. You'd be surprised at the kind of people you can meet.

Cosplay? What in the world is that?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

I-I'm making an effort, I already met a few people. [Pouts, and pulls his cap back on his head.]

Cosplay, as in costume play, when someone is dressing up as their favorite character-- But why am I telling this to you, you know what cosplay is! So who is the character?

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

Then at least you're making some progress.

I'm not in costume, this is how I normally dress. [Is slightly amused] I am never anyone but myself.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

I am. I guess...

Eh? An original character? Oh oh, tell me about it!

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

You just guess? Are learning to live with people or aren't you?

I am not a character, although you will get those who claim I am one. I am only myself and always have been.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Frowns a little.] We'll see about that, we just met...

[Alright, uh, weird.] Um... what? So you are not original...?

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

At least it's a start I suppose.

I am entirely original and unique. [Also the best but he will pretend to be modest and leave that out. Box is just too much fun to play with.]

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

I-I can't understand this. You say you are not cosplaying, and this is not an original character, so the only option left that this is really you... [Squints his eyes.] But that can't be...

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

And just why cant' it be? I'm standing right in front of you, aren't I?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

You can be a hologram, or I've gone insane from watching so much ero animes... Anything is possible! This is place is pretty weird anyway.

[flawless-genius.livejournal.com]

Although I can see why you would doubt your own sanity, be assured that I'm not part of your mind. Nor am I a hologram or ero anime...whatever those maybe. I am real, as is this place.
