[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?

We have healers, people who can use magic to cure you quickly if you get injured or sick.

As for Death not lasting here...it's been like that since I arrived. If you die, you can come back after a few days if you give something in return like an important memory or a skill.

[ He was sceptical too at first but he's lived here 2 years and he died once, so he knows it to be the truth. ]

[waitingforhope]

...I see.

[She assumed he wasn't talking about a typical medical doctor when he referenced 'healers']

Do people die here often? ...even if just for a short time?

[k2so]

[ There's normal doctors here too, of course, but he's talking about the magic healers. ]

Often? No, not really. There's crimes from time to time but those don't happen more often here than in the average world.

[waitingforhope]

[Hmm.]

Then there's a chance...we may not have to worry about any of that at all.

[k2so]

No. Just focus on getting better now, Mai.

[waitingforhope]

I will.

[k2so]

Good. Let me know if you ever need anything. I'm almost always available, since I don't need to sleep.
