[Lately all Seto can think about is home, probably because he has nothing better to do when laying in his bed. Images of what's left of the cities and small villages flash through his mind. Everything is so dominated by the wildlife he has no idea what it could have been like for those who lived there before...whatever happened to his world.

But it dawns on him, other people must've lived in an alternate Japan right? So why not ask them? It'll give him something to do too so might as well.]

I've heard that some people here are from Japan. A different Japan than other's but they're all similar in some way and I was wondering...what's it like there? Are there a lot of people? Is the red tower special?

[He goes quiet for a moment then lets out a soft, almost sad sounding chuckle] I'm sorry, I'm just a little curious... [A pause] O-Of course I wouldn't mind hearing about other worlds too. Anything is fine..

[Action]

[Once the sun goes down, Seto will be out on the roof of community building three, just laying there to stare up at the stars. To be honest it brings him comfort when he stares at shining lights in the sky. For the past ten years at home, they have been his only company since his grandpa and him never really talked all too much, especially near the end of his life.

In any case, he'll be up there for a good majority of the night, he may even fall asleep]

No. But there are ghosts in my world as well. Other things like dragons and all that take on the appearance of humans to conceal themselves. It's something of a defense mechanism for them.

Wow...so they're creatures but they look human...d-does that mean that a dragon can still breathe fire in human form?? [Because we all know that would be awesome]

Yes they very much can. [ Helios has been on the receiving end of one too many a fireball. ] But they don't do it often, as you can imagine why. A human breathing fire...hm.

It would still be really cool to see a person breathing fire! But I guess I can understand why they wouldn't do it. [Why can't his Japan be cool like that :c]

It would, wouldn't it? I was in awe myself when I saw it. [ But knowing the dragon part does take away some of the fun. ] And what about your world?

You're so lucky. [And then he pauses for a moment] W-What about it?

Ah! N-No I apologize. I was simply curious about your own world. Earth isn't it? S-since you have a Japan... [ or had. ] You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to however.

Y-Yes, I live on Earth and in Japan... [scratches cheek as he contemplates on telling him about it]

I-I don't know a lot about the other countries outside of Japan...to be honest I don't even know a lot about Japan itself. I don't know what it's people were like or what they did every day. [A sad sigh] The world I live in is dead...

Seto... [ Oh my he knew he shouldn't have asked, not at all. ]

I-I'm so sorry. I, I didn't know. [ A small sigh. The entire world is dead? The next is said in an understanding calm, soft, tone of voice. ] W-Would you...like to learn about them?

I-It's okay! It wasn't all bad, really... [A fake laugh but then he really does smile at the question]

Mm! I would, very much..

[ Helios knows that isn't the truth. ] You're very brave for saying so. I'm not sure I could ever be the same way about such things. [ Another pause as he regards the other on the opposite side of the screen. ]

I could help, if you'd like? I do travel a great deal on my own Earth and even to Japan at times.

A lot of people say that, I guess just being raised in a place like that, you get used to those types of things. [Used to it or not it's still not a nice place to live, but Seto just sucks it up]

Really?? I would love to hear about your travels!

Still it's a very hard notion to get used to. [ Helios sounds sober mainly because he knows now what the other will go back to now. And some part of him...knows that a few people would like to stay here. He wonders if Seto is one of those people just like Giles and Frederic and others. It's still an enlightening and a harsh reality to face that people's worlds differ so much sometimes. ]

Ah. You would?

I guess to a lot of people it is, especially since it's hard to imagine for a lot of you. [To him it's hard to imagine just the opposite, so weird.]

Uh huh!
