It... has been some time since I have approached the network at all. I know there are likely plenty of people I owe some favors to, and I know I owe an explanation... so forgive me for that. For all of it. I was not familiar with video games before arriving in Lunatia, and I may have become a touch... overly invested.

...I am still overly invested. Has anyone else been playing Prisma Crossing: New Horizons? I have not been paying as much attention to the social aspects as I should have been, so I am looking to rectify that. I am told that you can get different fruits and flowers by visiting others. Truthfully, I have been primarily focusing on fishing, but I should likely branch out a bit. Perhaps if I ensure I have all the varieties of fruit trees, I will be able to focus on other things for a time...

Picking up Prismon was like this for me. Video games can be addicting, or at least the cute ones are.

Perhaps you're qualified to help me with a little problem, then.

How many freaking kinds of fruit ARE there?

[ He's starting to wonder how long it's been Seteth went outside. ]

There are real fruits and trees.
You can see and procure a greater variety at the greenhouse at the edge of the Nothing.

You're not alone in becoming overly invested.

[he's a little tech nerd so abel's prob that guy that hacks his console and datamines all the info to pass around.

and makes tree trees.]

There are worse habits to form here, I guess. If you're looking for anything in particular though I'd be happy to help.

[baitless]

You know, I will admit, I have been curious about that one... I understand there is fishing in that one as well, is there not?

[tigerpoet]

There is! You can add a number of cute animals to your team by fishing them up.

Do you like fishing, Seteth?

[baitless]

Oh... I apologize, I have not encountered any villagers that I would consider that unpleasant. I have been lucky in that regard, but it unfortunately leaves me unable to give you any advice on that area...

[baitless]

Hmm. I think there are six or seven, but I am not sure. I had oranges to start out with, but I also got peaches fairly early on... I am getting recipes for furniture that use more than I have, at any rate.

[baitless]

You cannot use real fruit to make wallpaper and hats without making a huge mess of things.

...

I should perhaps go outside, though...

[baitless]

Ah, thank you very much. I’m a bit surprised by how much I have been hooked, but I imagine it will be less of an issue if I am being social. Can you spare some apples, perhaps? I have a few recipes that involve them, it seems.

[byleth]

You can buy wallpaper and hats with fake fruits.
Does it matter if they are real?

[ The fake ones would attract less insects and last forever, but also yes, Seteth should really go outside. ]

man im still trying to get jj scooter to come to my island
iunno what im doing wrong
the cat girl at the counter wont give me any advice she just keeps saying im at 2 stars!!!

[dashhole]

What else are we even supposed to do here? Like, I keep picking things up and I guess it's funny to hit the Prismals with the bug net, but I don't get it?

[baitless]

Ah, I see. That does sound somewhat dangerous... but yes, I do indeed enjoy fishing. I suppose it is never really the same in these games as it is in reality, though I do find I am more successful here for the most part.

[tigerpoet]

I don't have the patience for it in real life myself, so it not being exactly the same is a bonus for me. I don't think most people can play games for as long as they can wait for a fish to bite.

[how little you know, atsushi]

[necroyalty]

I've tried reporting him to the cat-woman, but she's quite useless.

[affabel]

I've been trying to get my roommate and a few friends interested too, there's a few perks to having other players visit you in game.

[and he'll just send along his friend code or whatever nonsense is used here to befriend others.]

Apples are easy enough :) I'll gather some up for you.

i got that cat everyone wants to bang in boxes if you're interested

[baitless]

Well, they are virtual in the game, but... hm. I do not quite know how to explain it. There is something very satisfying about making things in the game and collecting furniture and things that does not feel the same as it does in reality.

There is a museum where you can take all your fish and fill out an aquarium, for example. I suppose I could do something like that in reality, but I would imagine they already have people working for them who do that.

[byleth]

I see.
Like trophies? I wouldn't mind collecting all the fish for an aquarium.
How do I play?

[ He's going to enter this hell with him, isn't he? ]

[baitless]

I've been focusing on trying to fill up my museum and... well, decorating, really. I don't really have any talent for making custom designs, but I do enjoy putting the furniture they give you in the game around the island and in the house.

[baitless]

Ah, the game’s a bit picky about what it wants you to do to increase your rating. I had to put a great deal of fencing out to get my rank up, so that may be part of the issue. Other things are too many trees and not enough decorations.

[baitless]

Oh, really? I knew about the fruit and the fact that it’s simply fun, but what are the other perks?

And you have my thanks for that.

[baitless]

Ah, well, I think I have definitely lost track of time while playing this one... granted, I think your mind is generally more occupied by the game itself than it would be with fishing.
