Nono... well I used to make cranes like yours when I was a kid. Maybe I can help you?

_{[He's new here and this whole situation has him very anxious and on the verge of a meltdown so he gravitates towards soothing things. Especially soothing things that remind him of home so paper cranes? Done and done.]}

We can find more paper and we can make new ones... you want to make them so your sister will come?

[nonono7]

You know how to make these, too? Amazing!

Are you from Earth? Wait, with your name- are you from Japan?

[pork_bowl]

Ah-huh. I made a lot of them when I was little.

Ah... I'm from earth. And Japan. Is that... a good or bad thing? _{[She looks so different now, she's very excited. He's not so sure...]}

[nonono7]

My hero, Nono-riri, is from Japan! And onee-sama's from Earth too!

I've never been there. [ Well, on it anyway. ] Do you think you could tell me about it?

[pork_bowl]

Japan? It's pretty cool. Ah... where are you from? I've never been off the earth until I came here.

Japan is... well that's a big subject. Is there something, in particular, you want to know about it? I'll do my best to answer.

[nonono7]

I'm a ne'er-do-well haling from the Valles Marineris on Mars, but I've always wanted to visit Earth.

Does Japan have a lot of skylarks?

[pork_bowl]

You.... You're from Mars? How? Is there a space colony there? What year are you from??

Ah... skylarks? _{[He calms down.]} Well sure, they're birds that live in Japan. I don't know if there are a lot of them. I can't say I paid that much attention to them.

[nonono7]

Year 14,292. [ Said in the most blase, matter-of-fact tone possible. ] Mars has been terraformed for a long time.

But we don't have birds there. Nobody really knows why, but they all died out.

[pork_bowl]

_{[He is, of course, dumbstruck by this. That's so far in the future! DEAR GOD! he can't even imagine that.]} Forteen THOUSAND? I didn't think people would live that long...

No birds at all? But you had them before... huh. We have birds in Japan. Not only skylarks, we have other kinds. Pigeons, crows, eagles, things like that.

But... Nono, can you tell me about where you live too? We can answer questions back and forth, is that okay?

[nonono7]

Okay!! Nono can do that! ASK AWAY!!

[ She is pumped for this now that it's, like, a game. Ish. ]

[pork_bowl]

Alright! Thanks!

So... what kind of buildings are on Mars?

_{[He wondered if it was underground bunkers or if they managed to make an atmosphere that was livable there. Or if they had big domes like out of a lot of Sci-fi movies.]}
