So, many of us come from different worlds, and a bunch come from Earth at different points in time...or different versions of Earth.

I guess that could lead to some culture clashes, like that Dating Auction. Some of us are more familiar with arranged marriages. I'm from [ 19th Century name for the part of Central Asia he comes from.] and I think I've heard some people refer to the time period as Victorian, for some Queen in England or whatever. That faraway place had nothing to do with my clan.

[ Unaware of the Great Game, that England had going on with Russia.]

Many of you haven't even heard of where I lived. Maybe the name changed? Or it's just part of the Russian Empire? They're way too big.

Why do I sometimes hear words in different languages anyway? Isn't there something translating whatever we say? I doubt anyone speaks Kazakh.

I had a point with this. Since we all come from places with different cultural standards,it might be better to try to keep an open mind. I think that's part of why Naoto was trying to get a better understanding of our worlds.

❖ Video ❖ Mai + Traverse Town [007]

[savesjerkbenders]

Great. This place again.

[For those that recognize the buns and the very dull look, Mai's not looking anymore different than the last time you saw her. Her arms crossed over her chest as a moogle floated by around her. She didn't like it, she didn't like being back here, but at least she wasn't going to freak out about it.]

I know, I know. [She rolled her eyes at the moogle.] I can stay at the inn for a couple of days. Don't worry about it. If there's a certain belt-hogging boy still living in Radiant Gardens, I won't have to take an inn.

[She started walking but there's something trailing around her feet, the upcoming mist. She waved a hand in front of her before turning to the moogle.]

Is a storm coming? This mist is persistent. It's going to drench my dre- hey!

[The girl moved quickly, a little too quickly for an average girl. The moogle was cradled safely in her arms completely knocked out. She poked at it's cheek.]

Did you fall asleep on me? Rude. You're supposed to be helping... helping... help-

[She couldn't seem to finish that question. She fell to her knees, her dress pooling around her as she tried to keep herself steady. Something was making her drowsy and she wasn't doing very well putting up against it.]

What's going on. I can't- Leon. [And she fell forward. Disappearing underneath the must.]
