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.

... Well, Nakajima Atsushi is-

...was an author back home, so that might be the case back home as well.

[depthsofdespair]

I wonder if I'm an author where you're from, too? Or maybe you're an author in my world.

It's kind of cool to think about, right?

[dereban]

I think it's very likely.

[She doesn't try to think about it too much, though.]

I don't know about being an author myself in another world... my name is pretty plain, if I'm going to be honest.

[depthsofdespair]

Plain name doesn't mean plain stories. I'm sure you're full of interesting ideas.

And besides. Lucy Montgomery isn't a very unique name either. There are a lot of other Montgomerys and Lucys. But I'm still an author, apparently.

[dereban]

I mean... me? Sure, of course I'm full of interesting ideas; a vice president of a club kind of has to be.

[Inaba, that's not entirely true and you know it.]

I suppose that's true. I'd be embarrassed if someone with my name was an author, though.

[She's obviously not fond of her first name for various reasons, even if it's a more common one.]

[depthsofdespair]

Hmm~. Then would you suppose that, in a world where you're an author, you would take on some sort of pen name? I thought about writing under an alias myself, but I couldn't come up with anything flowery enough. I don't suppose a name like Geraldine or Cordelia would be too much to ask?

[dereban]

Perhaps.

I'd probably need something creative... but I can't say that I have much of that. I don't think a name like that is a bad thing, though.

[depthsofdespair]

Don't Kanji have different readings? I always thought that was so lovely. Maybe yours can be read or written different to make something mysterious and poetic~.

[dereban]

... Yeah, there's the on-yomi and kun-yomi reading, although the meaning would be the same in the end. Although my name is pretty much read rather straightforwardly.
