[As soon as the feed clicks on a woman can be seen, eating a bag of popcorn. She's been flipping around her journal for a while and feels her curiosity at it's peek. That and it's raining. Not a fun day at all.]

Hello everyone, I hope you're staying indoors and keeping warm. 'When it rains, it pours!' as the old saying goes. Don't want anyone catching a flu out there.

Hey, I'm curious: what kind of places does everyone come from? An island, a desolate desert, the ocean, the city- maybe you don't even have a place to call home. This 'different worlds' thing is really exciting! Like a merge of different cultures coming all together...against our wills. [It doesn't sound as good now that she thinks about it.]

...Oh, I hope I'm not prying though. Some people think I do that a lot, so don't be offended. I'm not going to store this information away for nefarious means. It's just a way to spend time waiting for the sun to come up. Exchanging stories that we might never hear in our 'world' sounds fun, don't you think?

[She's about to click off the feed, but then remembers something important.]

Wait! Almost forgot: thanks to everyone who helped me get settled into this place a couple weeks back. You know who you are.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Thank you for the kind words, Miss. I have yet to catch a flu, but I am planning on staying indoors.

As for where I come from, it is the city of Paris in France. I'm not certain if you've ever heard of it, but it is a beautiful city nonetheless.

Paris? [She swoons a little, but it's rather over dramatic.] It's the romantic dream of many girls to visit the city of love. I never been there but I've seen plenty of pictures. Must be nice being from such a wonderful place.

Thank you. You are well yourself, miss...?

I come from a queendom.

I could do without the cold from the rain, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Queendom...so like a Kingdom, but a Queen as the main ruler? A word like that doesn't really exist in my world.

That's good then. I'm staying indoors myself.

Yes, similar to that. I've already noticed it to be an uncommon occurrence elsewhere.

I'm quite content living in Paris, or was before coming here. I'd teach, compose, and play piano for nobles and others of high society. If you are ever able to visit, I highly recommend it.

My world had monarchies hundreds of years ago, but all of them were ruled over by kings. Women weren't equal to men in their opinion: there's even a famous story about a king who beheaded his wives, when they wouldn't bore a son to them.

That sounds really impressive! I wish I learned how to play an instrument. Don't think I'll be able to go there for a while, unless they happen to have a secret passage that goes there. Must have had a lucrative career while you were there.

...I remember you.

Oh, do you now?

...Yeah, I do.

Hm. I wonder from where?

I'm sure it'll come to you.

To answer your question, if you know what America is, you'll pretty much know what my home is like.

I was a famous composer and pianist in Paris, as well as a very well-known teacher. Although if you'd like to learn to play an instrument, I'd gladly teach you how to play piano. [He pauses, almost forgetting his manners.] Oh where are my manners? Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Frederic Francois Chopin. It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss...?

I see...

It sounds like it was a very cruel place back then, if you don't mind me saying so.

[She smiles. She already knows, but she rather not say anything here yet.]

America. I never been there, but you can't really avoid hearing about it around Japan. Popular place. You live in a nice area?

I move from place to place. Mostly the southwest area. Sometimes to Mexico.

What part of Japan?

[A pretty face he hasn't flirted with? That will need fixing.]

Well, "home" for me would be the Frontier colony fleet... somewhere near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, though Earth was our origin point.

I don't mind at all. That was hundreds of years ago from where I came from. No one really has kings or queens anymore. It's all elected officials, like presidents and prime ministers. Can't change the past, but you can learn from it.

A Queendom sounds like an interesting thing. Did you like living in one?

Mexico and the south. Being in such a small village must either be familiar or strange, depending where you are I assume. Geography was never something I focused on.

Tokyo. I'm sure a lot of people come from there though.

Elected officals. I see.

It's a lovely place. Our queens have been kind and wise, and Falena prospers under their rule. [At least when they're allowed to rule.]

A space pioneer? That sounds like the things sci-fi stories are made of.

Nice to finally talk with you outside my dreams.

It's okay. I'm too old to learn quite frankly. I doubt I would pick it up as fast as children would.

My name is Paprika. [...] Chopin, you say? [Her history is failing her, but she could have swore she heard of that name once.]

[She giggles] Sometimes, all you need is a woman's touch. Falena is something from your world? Never heard of it before.
