VIDEO

[It had been some time since Mai made her presence known over the network.  Time for her to settle in, so to speak.  Adjust to a more peaceful life, where she had a bed to be slept in nightly.  Food readily available without having to scavenge.  Friends and the closest thing she had to a 'family' nearby.  More of whom continued to arrive the longer she was here.]

[Somehow, all of that was stranger to her than the idea of being 'trapped' in an alternate universe.]


I was wondering...  [A pause, and she pressed her lips together in thought.  Knowing exactly what she wanted to ask, but attempting the most diplomatic means of phrasing her question.]  ...if there were any current prevailing theories or ongoing experiments with regards to the means of time travel and inter-dimensional transport that seems to be responsible for bringing so many individuals from so many different worlds and points in time here?

[A conversation that had begun with a select few, and was perhaps more interesting to her at this time than...almost anything else.  For all her years as the head commander of Earth's resistance force, her scientific mind had never wavered.]


ACTION

[Mind lost in thought, the (apparently) young woman could be found walking the streets of Genessia later that morning, pausing just long enough to collect herself a copy of the local newspaper.]

[She'd been hearing some very interesting stories about a certain paperboy as of late, and as such, was hesitant to subscribe to the delivery service...but deemed the information located within to be important enough to still seek out each issue.  Even if it meant taking a seat on a nearby bench and reading in public, rather in the privacy of the residence she currently shared with Bulma and the others.]


Let's see...weather...horoscopes...bounties?

Good afternoon, Mai. One theory pertaining to our origin is that we weren't so much brought as made; fully formed from those cocoons we came from, like hatching from an egg.

[Not weird at all.]

[Well at least he's not getting any "NO I'M REAL HOW DARE YOU" hysterics. That's good. The theory doesn't comfort him, but truth isn't known to be gentle or sane, especially not here.]

Well, memories are very fungible, here. You might've heard how they can be a price used to stave off death or make a Subarchway. Wouldn't recommend either, of course.

You may have also heard of the Dream Docks, where one's memories can be...well, "updated" to be more in line with whatever ongoing records the world has with others.

Yes; done it myself, actually. And yes, I got to choose. Even tried to cheat the system and journaled what I might sacrifice. It has to be something cherished, by the way.

It was a middling success; I still *know* of what's forgotten, but it's not quite the same. Like a noetic phantom limb.

[He's not sure why the pamphlets or hologram leave that part out.]

[They're sharing an apartment, so it's not like she's hard to find. Trunks waits until she's done with the video though, and seems to be not busy, before clearing his throat in case she hadn't realized he was there.

He has a notebook with him.]


You are not allowed to read my mind anymore.

[He's teasing, as said by the smile.]

[Coming in more fully, Trunks passes her the notebook if she wants to look at it, and settles on the floor. Slumped a bit, but relaxed for a change instead of exhausted all the time and on guard.]

Not as much as I want yet. Mostly I've written down what I've been able to get from others here, and who told me. My next plan was to head to the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation, and see what information they have available. At least to the public, since I'm sure there's probably more they know that they aren't sharing right away, but it'll give us a start.

[Ever the explorer type, apparently.]

I'm also pretty sure I know my way around Nova City pretty well now with little trouble, and most of Attleton, although not as well.

[Likewise, Trunks honestly wouldn't think too much about it for Mai to just show up in his room and space. They'd been in such a survival situation for months that it was just practical. His own thoughts and feelings otherwise were kept under wraps for the most part, in lieu of dealing with everything else; which included now and a whole new set of 'everything else'.

There wasn't much in the notebook yet, but Trunks knew Mai'd want to see it. WIth her commentary, he raises an eyebrow and listens intently.]


Interesting. Do you know who you spoke with? I plan to try and make notes on the Barriers and information about them too, but that'll be more from a practical standpoint than trying to figure them out right now.

[Not that learning about them wouldn't lead to some understanding of them, and vice versa. But the interest in Barriers and what was outside was more base don practicality for him at the moment. Less in the 'why' and more of the 'how does this work so we don't break it'.]

Bounties are kind of fun. There's never anybody really strong, though.

Once or twice, though it was just by accident. Some guys were tryin' to rob a place, an' they bumped into me when they were escapin'.

Other than that, I've been checkin' the board to see if anybody really strong is out there, but I haven't really found anyone like that yet.

Yep! It's only fun if there's a challenge, and I don't wanna be a bully and pick on people who are a lot weaker than me.

Even though I have been here a long, this is something that I don't actually know how to answer that question.

[Unless you count for stuff back home because that was a whole other confusing factor that he was pretty sure does not count for anything here. So he will be keeping quiet on that front.]

Four years since last month.

[Which is a very long time really. He didn't mind it much except when he missed his friends.]

While I have my moments of worrying about friends back home. I also am aware they can take care of themselves without me.

[So it makes him worry less at least.]

It is. Minus when bad stuff does happen, but most worlds always have something.

There people who had been in this world for years and so far no one had been able to come up with a logical explanation of how those work.

[ Hello Mai, have a 7ft tall droid. ]

The best theory seems to be that someone or something is 'winging it'.

Even if Kay would have noticed her reaction, he wouldn't have said anything. He's far too used to people sometimes finding him scary. Back in his galaxy he didn't care but here it makes him feel bad. His posture is a bit slouched, relaxed, and he tries to look as harmless as he can.

there are people in my galaxy who are capable of doing incredible feats and even magic but not t this degree either. I think that no matter how much we investigate until one of the responsibles for this makes themselves know, all we can do is speculate.

I'm K-2S0, Kaytoo for short, one of the Attleton's deputies. And you are?
k2so: (Would you like some calculations)

[She only has to go to Fayren or Everglade to see real magic if she wants to. It could be an interesting experience. ]

Likewise Mai. Oh! Are you Trunk's Mai?
