genessia | Video

[ Hey Genessia ~~and the other cities~~, have a young girl with Christmas-colored eyes just staring at you through the videophone in confusion for a few moments until she's pretty sure that she has it working. Then she's grinning at you for two seconds before her lips curl back into a frown.

This was so much easier to do on Mid-Childa. But she has something important that she needs to ask about, because, well... ]

Hey!? Umm... that thing with the monsters and the trying to get in here and... eat us isn't normal here. Right?

[ Yeah, guess who got to see that almost as soon as she walked out of the Bay and has been hiding for the last however many hours it's been since they had shown up ]

Please tell me that's not normal. The pamphlet and hologram didn't mention anything about that!

[ She sighs, taking a deep breath before speaking again. ]

Sorry. Sorry. I'm being really rude here. My name's Vivio Takamachi. And umm... I'd really appreciate and answer to that question. Because I really, really don't think it's going to be a good thing if those things get inside.

[ Yeah. She's still a bit shaken up and still being pretty rude, but come on, giant monsters weren't a thing you saw everyday. She didn't know if even Nanoha-mama or Fate-mama could stop things that big if they got in. And if they were here. Which they might not be.

So... terrified ten year old girl is terrified. Lovely, yes?]

Most of us wake up there alone, but there's often at least someone from home too... And some wake up there with someone from home with them. I found some people from home soon after my own arrival too, then my most important person arrived a few days later... And now we kind of have so many from there, that we bought a mansion for us all to live in the same place.

[Well except Eren went home... but there's still many living there.]

Who knows, even more from our home worlds might show up. You just never know when it happens in this place. [or if it even happens at all, but she'll leave that unsaid.]

Really? That's... wow, I didn't realize that this happened that often.

[ She frowns though, because, well... things could be a little bit weird. ]

But what about if there was something important back home that needed to be taken care of? I mean, if everyone gets brought here, that could end up being really, really bad for back on our worlds, couldn't it?

It happens really often though it's usually a peaceful and safe place. You're totally safe even now too, Schnee Company has security staff to make sure newcomers are safe.

[Reassuring while Vivio's waiting for her mother to show up.]

... Apparently there's some time magic thing, that makes you go back to the same moment where you came from -- [... ahaha, she doesn't want to go home, never EVER.] -- and also makes it so that it's like you never even left. No one notices you're here and not there.

Sounds impossible? Welcome to the world where it's confirmed to be possible.

... Yeah. Even accounting for magic, that last part there is pretty impossible. Like, breaks known laws of magic and physics impossible.

[ Good to hear that it's safe here, but there's definitely that other issue to worry about. ]

I guess you don't have any idea of how it works, do you?

So, you're from one of those many worlds, that actually have magic, huh?

..Nope, no one really knows how it's possible that it works. My home world doesn't even have magic, so it's all new to me. Maybe just -- consider this as a completely new world, where that kind of thing can be possible?

[Well, they have humans transforming into Titans but she'll leave that part out.]

Yep!

[ Though that last part makes her pause for a moment, wondering... ]

I'm... not sure different worlds really work like that though. I mean, every other world that I know about still follows the same rules of magic that mine does. Even on worlds where people don't have magic, it still works the same if someone who does have it goes there.

[... Magic and chances to go to other worlds, where things are different? Good kind of different or bad is another story but well, when you come from a world full of titans... Not that she'd want anyone to end up into her home world. Not that time really is an issue to her back home since she has about 1-2 seconds to live there.]

But there's people from all kind of different worlds here and it seems to work that way here... So with so many people from different worlds here, I guess it might work like that somewhere else or then just here. Even if all of it might be really weird at first. Well, still does if i'm honest and I've been here for months.

[Bare with her, smart child. Magic and different worlds is a really new thing to her still.]

... Yeah, I guess that would be weird if you didn't come from a place with magic, even if you have been here for a while.

[ The different magic stuff that she had been hearing was weird for her, and she came from a world with magic. ]

Though I guess for figuring out all that stuff I'm going to have to ask people who know of magic in their worlds and see what's different, won't I?

Weird, but not really in a bad way. It's interesting.

[Leave it to a curious girl to be all interested in it. Well, most people from worlds without magic probably are...]

Yeah, you should -- but it sounds like a good plan to get social, doesn't it? Having something like that to talk about even if the differences might be somewhat confusing. At least you can just "blame" this place for the weirdness of it!

Yeah, that's true too.

Umm... the social part. Not the blaming part. I don't really want to just say that it's this place, you know? I mean, I kinda want to know why that stuff is different if we can figure it out...

Ohh, I didn't mean that word literally! Though I'm not sure if we can figure it out, but trying to find out stuff has never been bad thing anyway... [ or if it has been, she's not telling about it.]

But at least the explanation "completely different world" makes more sense than no explanation at all, I think.

[Coming from a world with a lot of unanswered questions, though people who live longer than her will find out the answers for them but... still, she's kind of used to not having answers.]

[ Vivio shrugs a bit at that answer. Because honestly, "Completely different world" really didn't make more sense. Different planet, different dimensions, things were supposed to still keep working the same. ]

Nope. It's never a bad thing!

...Unless the thing you're trying to find out is 'how to use this ancient device that's obviously a doomsday weapon". That's usually bad.

[Girl, do you run into Doom's Day weapons often? She could ask that or in the case of her world, or her own point in time there, it's more like... a human in form of a giant, who kills everyone but well... Let's try this thing called positive thinking, she's amazing at that all things considered.]

Hey, I haven't seen or heard of any weapons like that here, so maybe we'll be lucky and they stay back home!

Hopefully. Though they're usually hidden away and not normally in plain sight.

[ Vivio frowns in thought for a moment.]

Hey, does anyone here know how long this world's even been around for?
