Much of the technology here is strange, but quite useful when one becomes used to using it!

From:

So it seems. The information one can find here is helpful, to say the least.

From:

Oh? "Something more"?

From:

This "Googlepedia" of theirs has been a tremendous help in getting myself oriented here, although sometimes the terms it uses to explain things are also unfamiliar, and suddenly I realize I have spent three hours working my way backwards.

From:

Yes, "something more." As in, there's something about this city I don't know yet.

From:

... "Googlepedia?"

From:

It is an exceptionally useful repository of information, though learning to use it was a bit strange. I am not sure if I will ever be truly used to these computers.

From:

Dude, you don't know what a computer is?

From:

Am I supposed to? ... "dude?"

From:

Don't tell me you're one of those Amish people.

From:

Of course not.

Your world must be different from mine; we don't have things like this where I am from.

From:

Oh yeah?

I can't really imagine a world without computers. They've been around as long as I've been here. Well, sorta. What kind of things do you have in your world?

From:

Yes.

Nothing like this. The technology here makes information readily available to whoever wants it; things in my world aren't so... automatic. For one thing, our journals require pen and paper.

From:

I assure you that it's a perfectly normal post apocalyptic metropolis.

From:

Dude... That's-- hardcore. Well not to say that we don't use pen and paper where I come from but at least we don't have to solely depend on it.

From:

That hardly sounds normal.

From:

You could say that. Though to be honest, this method is much more convenient.

What else does your world have, if I may ask?

From:

Well that's technology for you. Convenience.

Uhh... A lot of other things, I guess. We have movies, video games, comic books, TV, cellphones, electricity, running water, an indoor toilet, automatic doors, books online, online stores, online games, central air...

From:

...

I see.

From:

You don't think so? Why, may I ask, is that?

From:

A bit overwhelming?

From:

Unless you come from a post-apocalyptic metropolis, then no. It's not normal.

From:

Perhaps I'm desensitized.

From:

Just a bit.

From:

So it would seem.

From:

Then I bet telling you that we've put man on the moon would be a bit mind blowing as well.

From:

...

From:

You okay there? Brain's not melting is it?

I hear that's bad for you.

From:

From:

H-hey, I don't need a collection of mind blown people now.

From:

Ah, my apologies!

From:

So you're not from the age of technology either, I take it?

From:

You are correct! I am from Japan, during the Meiji Restoration.

From:

Meiji Restoration?

That's... quite some time ago.

From:

I seem to be in the minority here. Most people I have talked to come from much later.

From:

Man, I wish I'd have met you sooner. I bet you could have helped me with my history homework.

By the way, what's your name exactly?

From:

I doubt I would be much help for anything beyond Meiji politics, but that much, at least, I know well!

My name is Himura Kenshin. It is a pleasure to meet you.
