[It takes a moment for the video to focus properly on Patchouli's face.

Yes, very purple, if you haven't noticed.]

Good evening, everyone. [It's not evening. Maybe.]

I haven't had much of a chance to explore the city yet. Is there a library about somewhere?

Comments

[k2so]

All right.

Likewise, Patchouli. Do you usually work with data? That's why you are looking for a library?

[heptagram]

Yes, but that's not all. I've made it my goal to learn as much as I can.

[k2so]

Ah. Just for the pleasure of learning?

[heptagram]

Yes. Also, sometimes it is useful to learn about new skills, when I find such information.

[k2so]

Are you interested in any particular ones? Combat, espionage, stealth, cooking...? [One of those things is not like the other, Kay.]

[heptagram]

That's... an interesting place to end that list...

I suppose I'm not much of a fighter. I'm gaining a bit of an interest in machinery, though. It's just that, where I come from, there's not much to go around. It's a bit... locked in a not-very-industrial era.

[Maybe all the nuclear fusion-related subjects drove her interest. Or trying to help build a rocket to go to the moon.

She has some odd stories.]

[k2so]

Everyone has hobbies. [Cassian is a good cook. He's also terrifying with a sniper rifle.]

If that's the case then you will like Nova City. It's very..uh...most people here would fall it futuristic or syfy. It just looks like home to me.

[They sound like Interesting stories.]

[heptagram]

Maybe fewer people from more technologically-advanced times arrive here, for whatever reason?

[k2so]

Maybe. our kidnappers doesn't exactly make themselves known, so their preferences remain a mystery.

[heptagram]

Indeed. If there's some rhyme or reason to what's going on, there's nothing to show that for certain.

[k2so]

I try to see this world as some kind of forced vacations.

[heptagram]

Well, I'd suppose that's not wrong, in a sense.

[k2so]

It's not ideal but it helps. I was terminated in my world so it's not as if I have anywhere else to go.
