Hello, I'd like to ask a question for anyone still awake. Some of you have been here for a little while now, right? I was wondering...has anyone ever been able to contact people they know back home here? Has Atroma ever allowed it, I guess.

My friends back home are probably really worried about me by now...I don't think they would know what's going on. To them I might have suddenly become missing! And I'd like to let them know that I'm okay, if I can. But I don't know if there's a way...

And also, since [ah] maybe I'm going to be here for awhile too. Does anyone have a database about outer space that I could borrow for a bit? A book or a data file you'd be willing to lend? Just, something that gets detailed about how things work in general out there. I have basic knowledge on the subject, but I'd like to learn more of I can.

Thank you.

I'd be interested in reading that.
Learning about other worlds is interesting, even if I get pissed off sometimes.

Ok! In that case I'll let you know once I get around to it...and, uh, I'll try to keep it as anger-free as possible too? [ah] Is it when things get complicated that you get angry?

Mostly I get mad when people try to shit on magic.

Oh, I see... [Oh boy, magic. Well--not that he's said anything about it so far yet, he thinks, so that's a bit of a relief. SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND AROUND THIS PERSON IN THE FUTURE...] Well, that's not very polite of them at all! That sounds pretty rude, actually...we don't really have anything we'd call magic back in my world, but what I've heard of it here it sounds very interesting! I don't think magic is going to come up in this write-up either, too, so we should be safe in that department as well...

It is rude.
I didn't spend most of my life studying magic for assholes with a stick up their ass to tell me it's 'not real' or 'not scientific'.
... But that's beside the point.
I'm glad you agree.
