[Rui has settled in just fine, he's gotten a roof over his head and he's pretty much vanished into coding hell for the most part.

Today at last he surfaces.]

I've been here a little bit, but I need a day off. Any recommendations on places to go? I wouldn't mind a drink.

I'm a computer programmer of sorts.

[Rui answered as he followed after Fai easily.]

It's always been my passion and I'm working on re-creating my masterpiece here. It's a huge endeavor though.

[Action]

[behindthefakesmile]

Oh, so what is your masterpiece then?

[Not like he knew anything about computers anyway, but it seemed rude to not ask.]

It's a social network that connects people in any kind of situation, to face any kind of problem. It's true goal is to encourage people to work together instead of relying on an unreliable government.

[Sorry if he looks confused for a moment. He had no idea of how that would work or anything.]


So...I guess things weren't great in your world.

In my country, we've had a string of Prime Ministers that are corrupted and they resign very quickly when found out. We can't seem to keep a single one in charge and frankly....it's unnecessary.

[Action]

[behindthefakesmile]

So, you have these Prime Ministers. They do things one wouldn't usually do, thus they are corrupt and ultimately are useless. [He pauses for a moment.]

Then why have them in the first place?

[Action]

[partofthecrowd]

That is the question in the end, isn't it?

[He smiles.]

[Action]

[behindthefakesmile]

I guess it is and one I assume could be answered if one could find out.

[He soon stops in front of another place pone could get a drink, or three.]

Would you like anything?

[Action]

[partofthecrowd]

A good Japanese beer if they have it.

[Action]

[behindthefakesmile]

Japanese beer? [He doesn't know what the difference is to be honest, but now he was a wondering, although the worlds are different.] So you come from a place called Japan, I take it? Or Nihon.

[Action]

[partofthecrowd]

Japan, that's right. I live in a fairly large city there.

[Action]

[behindthefakesmile]

I see. I've never been before myself, or at least not for an extended period. So, I don't know much about it.

[Action]

[partofthecrowd]

Well there isn't that much to know about it. It's a modern world, relatively westernized in many respects. It's an innovative country as well, when it comes to manufacturing and development. It's not terribly interesting for a drink conversation though.

[Action]

[behindthefakesmile]

Considering what I was doing before coming here and where a friend of mine came from, to me it was interesting. Just so I could so what similarities there were.

[He smiles as he went to get their orders.]
