Hey, two questions.

Are there cameras in the bathrooms? And does anyone know a good place to start growing plants? If you have somewhere, I will gladly exchange piano lessons, fighting (and weaponry) assessment and suggestions, or some sort of favor (within reason). I'm afraid I don't really have much in way of cash right now.

Last but not least (not a question), if anyone would care to buddy up for a little good ol' fashioned exploring, then I'm your gal.

what in the world. it cleared some things up but

i should probably mention i come from a medieval world, so the idea of all of this is a little strange to me regardless

[torsion]

That might've helped, but might've also made me have an even harder time explaining things.

Sorry.

[noprophecies]

dont be. i understand some modern things. this is not the first world i have been to

[torsion]

Honestly, the way you talk, I assumed you probably knew more technologically advanced things than I did.

[noprophecies]

i can assure you that is not the case

[torsion]

Yeah, kinda got that now. ;)

[noprophecies]

what is that

[torsion]

You mean ;) right?

Sorry it's a text thing! I know people do better, more involved ones but it's like a winking face, but sideways!

[ Just had to draw attention to how lame she is, huh. ]

[noprophecies]

[you can bet she's sitting there tilting her head, trying to see it]

what is the point of them

[torsion]

Guess it's so texts don't seem as harsh. Sometimes it's hard to figure out the tone things are said in.

I can be a little straightforward which can be confused for aggressive. So I spice it up sometimes!

[ What a nerd. ]

[noprophecies]

i suppose that makes sense, tone is a bit hard to read like this

they seem so strange though. and i do not think you are agressive

[torsion]

People are different. So, naturally, people are likely to project feelings onto words even if it's silly.

I don't really use many, but they can get pretty complicated!

[noprophecies]

it doesnt sound silly, is that not what an author tries to do through their work?

complicated how?

[torsion]

Don't give me that much credit!

More characters, sometimes from different languages. Friend's kid does it a lot and I'm often astounded by the effort she manages to put into it.

[noprophecies]

my apologies?

i thought most of the modern languages all used the same alphabet, is that not true?

[torsion]

Joking, it's fine. :)

See? That's how it works.

Most do, yes. Then there's Cyrillic and most Asian countries and Middle Eastern ones have their own. Some are a little similar but different enough.

[noprophecies]

ah, it makes more sense now

i only know of a few different ones, like japanese and arabic. is that how they are spelled?

[torsion]

I think some people use it sarcastically, but I think it can help with reassuring things or appearing more genuine sometimes. It's easy to seem like you're going with the flow in text.

Those are languages that exist in my world, yes. I don't know much about Arabic, unfortunately.

[noprophecies]

that makes sense. its strange to me because there is no such thing in writing where i am from. honestly, even being able to write for some is more than enough

i know a little bit, but that is because it is my lover's native language. i dont suppose elvish is a language in your world is it?

[torsion]

Think of it, I guess, like a drawing or art conveys feeling and emotion? Just that it doesn't take skill or training to do it the same way art does.

Most people know how to write where I'm from. At least a large portion of adults, anyway.

It's an extremely useful language where I'm from, so you might make use of it at some point. Elvish is a fictional language where I'm from, but I'm learning it's a very real one elsewhere.

[noprophecies]

but people do not send notes to each other with art, no? but i see what you are trying to say

educated people do in my world, but many do not. that does not necessarily mean they are not skilled in other ways though

it is? i did not know that. but i know elvish is fictional elsewhere, though it is strange to hear still

[torsion]

I've seen some people do it, but I also get your point.

I'm not surprised to hear that.

It spans several countries and it isn't commonly spoken by people who speak English as their native language. I wouldn't doubt if there are things (languages or otherwise) from my world that are fictional. Or that there would be different dialects of Elvish that may be similar to languages in my own, just under a different name.

[noprophecies]

it is likely. even in my world there are multiple dialects, though i have yet to hear a language that sounds similar.

i have been mistaken as english? though, because of my accent. but that is how most people speak back home

[torsion]

That sounds incredible, though. Even entirely different languages where I'm from can share sounds or actual words so it must be very unique in that case.

It could be that your accent isn't even the same, just that it sounds the same to people who aren't familiar with your language enough. Could you speak the shared language (English) before coming here?

[noprophecies]

its similar for us as well, but they are not shared words so much as. borrowed? elvish is a very old language but there arent words for certain things, so we borrow them from others depending on how its used

i can, but we call it common. its the main language everywhere and for the most part everyone can speak it
