WEEK 1: April 2nd - April 6th



Peace Week
Sunday must have been exhausting for you, maybe even upsetting. A new town, new faces and a an ominous order from a man without a face... who wouldn't be a little frightened? Hopefully, all of that is forgotten when you climb out from under your blankets this fine Monday. Rise and shine! A new morning is a new start!

If you make your way to the lounge, you will find a few copies of the local newspaper provided for your perusal. Once you go outdoors, you'll find the weather forecast 100% accurate. It's pretty impressive.

It seems that quiet mornings like this are going to be your everyday life now. Maybe you should see this whole stay as a vacation? Go out and explore the town, meet your fellow motel guests and meet the townspeople. They're sure to welcome you with a smile!

This week's special in the diner is lemon pie made with love (and a top-secret recipe)

[Welcome to the peace week! This week there won't be a murder nor a task. Enjoy the peace while it lasts! If you want to contact the Sergeant, please post here!]

Oh, that sounds fun! I'd like to listen sometime.

[ Music is nice and probably not dangerous. Unless you let her discover metal. ]

My favourite thing is... hmm, I think the guestbook. People tell me it's weird that this information exists, but I haven't ever seen important things noted down on paper like that.

[Friday top-level: Millium plays a 24 hour marathon of that Batman song from the Lego movie on the diner jukebox.]

Huh? Does your place not have paper or something?
integratedsoul: (learned to smile so well)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-05 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Have mercy, Millium. ]

It exists, but it's not used all that much anymore. Everything's virtual these days, especially information. Some older people still like to print out information... or hobbyists... but it really doesn't happen a lot.

[Why would she want to do that...?]

Vir...tual...?

[Sorry, she's lost. JRPG Germany, they use trains, what is this.]
integratedsoul: (with this rattling ribcage)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-06 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... uhm... uuuhmmm....

[ Give her a second to work out how to explain this... ]

Well, it's like... there is information and you can transfer it through the air? You just need a bit of technology and you can make it appear on a screen or directly in your eye, with the correct contact lenses.

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-10-07 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[At least Millium's familiar with the concept of contact lenses, although normally they're not very technologically advanced. They just make Machias not blind as a bat without his glasses.]

Huh... that sounds really cool!

I think we're starting to get things like that. We have the orbal net, and I know there's a ton o' data on there even if I don't really know how to use computers all that well. But they're pretty big n' clunky, it's a lot easier to just get what you need out of a book mosta the time...
integratedsoul: (i hate hypocrisy)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-08 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's a lot of enthusiastic nodding at the mention of a net and computers. ]

Yes, it's net and computer stuff all over! Books don't really exist physically anymore unless you're a collector, but you can get the same thing on the net too, content-wise.

Wow... I don't even think I can imagine our world like that.

Something that can get into the orbal net, it's gonna take up prolly more room than we had on our desks back in school. Are things smaller where you're from, or are there just big ol' boxes n' antennas everywhere?
integratedsoul: (learned to smile so well)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-08 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
... oh wow. That sounds so inconvenient, I can't even imagine living like that.

Everything is really small in my world. [ Cian raises her hand a little, looking at her own skin. ]

A lot of data is simply stored on my body right now, there's technology doing it within me.
doublelammy: (☆ 14)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-10-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Within you...? But you're human, aren't you?
integratedsoul: (that watching you)

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-08 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I am, don't worry. The technology is just tiny enough to fit into my blood, you know? I don't think I could explain it too well, I'm not a scientist, but it works well.
doublelammy: (☆ 38)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-10-08 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...Huh.

I... think I can understand that. Kinda. [So Cian's been modified to contain data, like Millium's been modified to link. That's how she's looking at it.]

Technology is so crazy...

[personal profile] integratedsoul 2018-10-09 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's pretty amazing... I don't often think of it because I grew up with it, but seeing this town in comparison... It really makes me think about how much science has achieved.
doublelammy: (☆ 23)

[personal profile] doublelammy 2018-10-09 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... my world's pretty far behind you, sounds like, but even everything keeps getting fancier n' fancier...

[And that's ignoring the scientific miracle that is the fact that she exists at all, but, well. A story for another time, perhaps.]
