one laugh

[undespairing]

--t's this thing, anyway? [There's a soaking wet kid dripping onto the screen, when it turns on.] Some sort of magical object? Haha, that'd be pretty interesting. [He wipes it off with a wet sleeve, making the screen...wetter. A laugh.] Guess I should figure out where I am first, anyway.

[And with that, he pockets the communicator; viewers may hear him saying "Hey. Hey, excuse me," to random strangers, as he didn't bother to turn the thing off.]

[[Feel free to be the random strangers! He's bothering people around the fountain area.]]

Huh. It'd be kind of fun to meet people for the first time all over again, especially if we didn't get along the first time around. Kind of like a second chance!

I suppose a second chance would be wonderful. I do hope I got along with everyone here during my previous stays. For my current stay, I have made friends with many wonderful people!

You sound like a really nice girl to me, so you probably got along fine. I don't know how many times I've been here yet, myself, so I'm going to just say it's my first. Either way, let's both make a lot of friends this time around!

Yes, let’s!

[She pauses for a moment before she speaks up once more.]

Oh yes, my name is Estellise, it’s a pleasure to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you too, Estellise! My name's Elmer.

[She gives him a light chuckle.]

So Elmer, what is your world like?

Oh, it's a really interesting place! There's wars and religion and secret illegal businesses and all sorts of other things like that. I live in a port town, too, so I get to see people from different countries when I bother to look.

That doesn’t sound like it would be very fun at all having all that going on. Is there anyone trying to stop it, or does your world simply allow all this to happen?

Well...we stopped that business not too long ago, but I don't think religion's going to stop anytime soon. Wars always end eventually though, so you don't have to worry about that.
