[ there's a moment where the view is upside down- and it's of nothing but a blue arrow. he pauses, holds it out further so the entire person holding it is in the shot (still upside down) ]

I think I figured everything out. Sort of. I can just talk into this, right? And then everyone else sees or hears it? [ there's a pause where he's not sure what to do after that. is it even working? how would he know? ] It's so weird to talk to people without knowing if you're actually talking to people.

Uh... - I'm Aang! Hi. Weiss said that this was an entirely different world. Thanks for the introduction explain by the way if you can see this! She said different world so I was wondering where everyone else came from to begin with? I only know the one I came from-- Okay, technically two but the Spirit World is interconnected and I can be in both at the same time so I'm not sure if that counts.

Also, how do people go about finding out if anyone they know is here? Or has anyone seen a flying bison around? Do you guys have bear-bears or different kinds of bears? What's a video anyway? Is this a spirit world or a regular world?

[ he nods, smiling curiously now ]

It is. Princess Yue - She's the moon spirit - She had white hair too. I didn't know other people could have it. Is it common where you're from?

There are some with silver or gray hair, even young, but not many white. [ As far as we know, just her and maybe her family but we've yet to actually meet them. ] We don't have a moon spirit where I'm from, which is probably a good thing.

Why would that be a good thing? Any moon spirit has always been a pure spirit that chooses to benefit mankind. It's a good thing to have, I would think.

Our moon doesn't wax and wane, it shatters.

[ that sounds horrifying - ]

...Like ice? How does that work? Does it still control the tides?

I've never been to the moon, so I wouldn't know how it is up there personally. We've been focusing a lot more on on-planet advancements in technology and military advancements than space travel.

[ That's her company's job, after all. ]

But it slowly shatters, then comes back together each month. It does control the tides though, yes.

I wonder if the spirit keeps our moon from doing that.

[ food for thought. he's looking off while he mulls it over for a moment but can't seem to come to a reasonable conclusion about why one place's moon would ever shatter, especially since he's never been to wherever weiss is from. he's definitely going to be keeping eye on genessia's moon from now on and wonder about it though. in fact, where he's looking off to is up - as if he can see it during the day. does genessia even have a moon? more things to wonder about. guess he'll find out when it gets dark. ]

Do you focus on military advancements because your place is at war?

I don't know. I never thought anything weird of it until every other archway had similar ones that waxed and waned.

[ War.. that's.. a difficult answer. ]

The official word is that we're experiencing an unprecedented era of peace, but there's a reason every kingdom has at least one academy to train hunstman and huntresses. Those outside of the four main kingdoms have a tendency to disappear because of the Grimm. Unlike what I understand of spirits, however, Grimm don't have souls. They kill humans, and that's how it's always been. Then there's a situation with the White Fang which gets.. more complicated.

So the kingdoms are united in their efforts to get rid of the Grimm? If the official word can be believed at all...

[ there's a frown. ba sing se is popping in his head. official words are so unreliable sometimes ]

It isn't a matter of being the "official word" or not. The kingdoms unite once a year at the Vytal Festival, but the fact is, Grimm kill humans without reason. The don't kill us to eat or for revenge. They just kill us. Which I've seen, since I am a huntress in training. I've killed plenty of Grimm protecting myself and my friends. Humanity was nearly extinct once because of them before we figured out how to fight back. Humans aren't always in the right, but if it comes to surviving or not surviving, we can't leave ourselves unprotected.

You have to do what you must. I hope your kingdoms reach an era of peace where lives aren't threatened soon.

[ not everyone has a third option where a giant lion turtle teaches you how to take the main threat's power away. her world is dealing with actual monsters too. things that just kill for no purpose instead of some deluded quest for power. he doesn't believe killing them back is the way to solve any problem personally but it's not his world and he can't offer her a better solution. ]

How do you know Grimm don't have souls? Where do they come from?

In my world, every living creature has something called an Aura, whether they know how to activate it or not. Humans, Faunus, dogs, cats, fish.. anything living with a soul has one... but not the Grimm. It's hard to even say if they're living creatures at all-- they don't leave behind corpses, they just dissolve shortly after they're killed so we can't even really learn anything about them.

[ It's a tricky business, most of what they learn about the Grimm is how to kill them because there's no way to study the other aspects without getting yourself and possibly killed. ]

[ aura. he can understand that. he's not sure what the method they use to know that is but he's certain he would be able to tell himself so maybe her world is just in tune with that ]

This sounds really strange. Maybe they're like puppets?

To what? They've been around as long as humans have.

I don't know. I mean like scorpion bees. Where there's one big Grimm controlling the rest of them. Only scorpion bees have souls.

The older ones... our teachers say they're smart enough not to attack us because they've been around long enough to know that people overcome. They could kill tons of us without batting an eye but they know eventually they'd end up dead, so they wait until we can't fight back. But the rest act too independently and unorganized to seem like they have a leader.

I can't say I understand then. I've never heard of anything besides people acting like that.

Which is why basically our only choices are to fight them and protect those who can't or die.

Is it easier here?

Most of the time? Yes.

That's good then. You probably deserve a little bit of a break, even if it is because you were kidnapped on another world.

[ Weiss raises an eyebrow. ]

I chose to become a huntress. I'm the heiress of one of the world's largest energy propellent company in my world. I probably could've spent my entire life never seeing a Grimm up close. I have other reasons for wanting to stay in this world, but I definitely don't need a break.

I didn't mean you should slack off or anything. I simply meant it's good not hearing about people getting killed constantly. That can wear anyone down even if they don't realize it.

I'm used to that. Besides, unfortunately there's someone here from our world who's harder to deal with than the Grimm.

Who is it?
