I want to know more about the worlds that everyone left behind.

Like what countries there are, what they look like, what's different from here. It's such a waste of opportunity not to learn about other worlds, you know? As long as I'm going to be stuck here, I'd like to stretch my imagination and learn something new.

I, for one, just came from Japan. Yokohama City, to be exact. I wouldn't be surprised if more of you are from Yokohama... Oh~ But imagine if we're all from alternate Yokohama Cities. That would be interesting as well.

Anyway~. Tell me about your homes, please. And where are my manners? My name is Lucy Montgomery. A pleasure.

... I did tell you that I'm from an alternate Yokohama the first time we spoke, right? There are a few differences between the Yokohamas that I'm aware of. Although I think there are some similarities, too.

Like the Cosmo Clock 21.

[depthsofdespair]

Yes, you did mention that. Actually, it was thinking about our conversation that made me want to bring it up. I'm kind of hoping there's another Lucy Montgomery that I don't know about. [She giggles.]

Ooh, the Cosmo Clock. That's the giant ferris wheel, right? I've wanted to try it since I first saw it. What a shame that I never got a boyfriend~.

[After all! Ferris wheels are best visited with a boyfriend.

Lucy has said something sad, but she sounds almost happy about it.]

Let's see... Have I told you the reason I and the other authors were summoned as spirits in the first place?

[has he told lucy he's dead yet, actually.]

[depthsofdespair]

[Yes, he has. And it was very upsetting to hear.

She shakes her head.]

No, you haven't. I didn't even realize you guys had a club for it.

i also from JAPAN!

i no hear of city name YOKOHAMA... where is?

i is from TATEYAMA in ETCHU province!

[depthsofdespair]

[Where is Yokohama? Lucy doesn't actually know the geography of Japan very well.]

Never heard of Tateyama either.

But Yokohama is on the side that Tokyo's on? It's by the water.

You American, Twizzlers for hair?

[depthsofdespair]

[Excuse you--]

TWIZZLERS? They're called BRAIDS, you piece of work! And they're not just charming, they're CUTE!

And I'm CANADIAN, I'll have you know!

We're neighbours.

I live in Machida. Technically the Kanagawa side. But my school is in Tokyo.

[Machida is right on the border of Tokyo and Kanagawa, but 30 minutes by train absolutely counts as neighbours!]

[depthsofdespair]

Are we really? Can I live to Machida by train, do you think? Maybe it would be fun if we promised to meet somewhere and I could try to find you when we get home.

Everything here's different from where I'm from. I don't even know where to start. The noise, the buildings...

Is this place so similar to your world you're actually restless enough to want more? I've been here for months and it's still exhausting just having to look at the city every day.

[depthsofdespair]

It was quite overwhelming at first for me as well. I've been fortunate that my dearest friend from home is also here and helped me out.

I don't suppose you need any help adjusting for yourself? It's a shame you can't enjoy the situation right now.

In the world I had visited previous to this one, a base of operations had been established at Sayama Lake in the Saitama Prefecture of Japan.

[depthsofdespair]

World previous...? Do you mean to imply there was a world previous-previous to the Japan you visited?

That's so nice! I would like to hear more about other worlds, too! I'm from Regnum and I lived in the Imperial City most of my life.

[depthsofdespair]

Ruca! Oh my, how embarrassing to realize! I've never asked very much about your home life, have I?

Regnum is the country, correct? What's it like? Japan is an island nation. Is Regnum also an island?

[heelgenius]

See, that's exactly what I think about this place! It'd be a shame to waste the chances we get by being here~

But what about if you're somebody who comes from a place that doesn't have a Yokohama City at all?

[ At least Metera's never heard of any island that has a town called that, anyway. ]

[depthsofdespair]

Ri~ght? Not only are we on another planet or moon or whatever this is, but we're with people from even other other planets and moons or whatevers.

And I would think that's most fascinating! What kind of world do you come from? Do you have 'Japan' or 'Canada?'

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Oh, Yokohama sounds familiar!

I come from Japan too, but I'm the only one (of two people) who has ever heard of Mahora Academy, so I guess that's the world I come from?

[depthsofdespair]

I'm afraid I'm on the list of people who don't know about Mahora Academy.

Is it a major educational establishment or something? I never got to pursue an education back home, so perhaps that is why I've never heard of it.

[suspecteverything]

I'd say you need to broaden your question beyond countries, but...

Is this Japan and Yokohama place from Earth? That seems to be the planet most people here come from. At least that I've found so far.

[depthsofdespair]

I'll admit, I was hoping to hook people from other worlds by having them correct my ignorance. Because yes, Japan is in Earth.

Are you not from Earth?

[rediscovering]

what do you want to know? there is no japan where I’m from. but a lot of people here seem to be from japan. from what I’ve heard it seems very different from my home. this world here is nothing like my world.

[depthsofdespair]

Well! What's the most different thing from your world?

Are you really a prince?

Pardon if I take this away from prying eyes.

I grew up in a city-state of sorts. We lived far beneath the earth, in these cities built of crystal and shrouded in darkness.

There were other cities like mine in the underground, but we were all separated for miles by tunnels, vast subterranean oceans, that sort of thing. Also, monsters. Let's not forget.

I live on the surface with the sun-dwelling folk now, in a country where the dead walk around everywhere and everyone just... sort of accepts it?

In so many ways, I find adjusting to life on the surface difficult.

But I always remember why I left.

[Hollow earth bullshit and zombies was probably not the accepted answer to this question.]

[depthsofdespair]

You lived underground? Really?

Is that normal? Why did people live underground in the first place?

Sorry, that was a lot! I have a lot of questions. It's like nothing I've ever heard of.
