video from greenhouse

[ As usual, Gyousou has been visiting the greenhouse to check on the small plant from his world. Which, in turn, has led him to some navel-gazing. ]

I have been thinking recently on the future of this journey of ours. Preparation is key for any venture, and perhaps we have been too reactionary... We are able to purchase animals and supplies, but perhaps it might be worthwhile to request a riboku, so that we might grow animals of our own and gain some self-sufficiency. I'm not familiar with customs for the creation of a riboku outside of my own land, but in Tai the village would assemble in a festival gathering, so that their prayers may all be heard.

[ He smiles slightly, expression wry. ] Ordinarily, we would also register the settlement on the divine lists... but here I suppose notifying the train itself would work just as well.

[OoC: Threads can and will be threadjacked by Taiki as he tries to do cultural damage control, let me know in your tag if that's not okay!]

[It's alright, Taiki doesn't often have many reasons to be glad he is a taika but right now he feels pretty grateful about it.]

Um... No. They are inside an egg fruit, that grows but you cannot see the creature inside it until they hatch.
flatteries: (but the red on the rest of)

Thank Naga...

[ Just the thought of those things hanging around without an egg fruit covering them is just.. ugh! Nope! Thanks! ]

It's sweet of you though, you know? To help out by explaining the matter further like this. Most people seem quite confused by the idea.
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-10 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. [He shook his head, he doesn't think it's particularly sweet, he's just trying to help.] I knew it was different on earth but I guess it is different on a lot of other worlds as well.
flatteries: (go green when you answer)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-10 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He nods. ]

I mean, it seems as if my world is fairly different from this "Earth" place. [ Considering how many people have tried talking to him about it, only for him to end up confused every single time. ] But even in my world they don't have anything that gets close to what this riboku sounds like.

[ Inigo pauses for a second before quickly adding-- ] Not that I think it's a bad idea though!
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-10 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess... It makes sense that worlds are very different than each other. The two worlds I know are very different. I'm more surprised there seem to be more worlds that are like the earth I know represented here. [Some might be his, but others are different enough to not be.]
flatteries: (and some just won't)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-11 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe there's something special about that place?

[ Though Inigo would have no idea what that is, considering he himself isn't from one of these many Earths. ]

I don't think I've met anyone on this train who was from a place similar to Ylisse. [ Although that's probably for the better. It makes it so much easier to hide his issues.. ]
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-11 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe... [He frowned, it was strange that it was so highly represented.]

What is Ylisse like? Um... that is if you don't mind...
flatteries: (somebody said that life isn't fair)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-11 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shakes his head. ]

I don't mind talking about it. [ As long as he can avoid the sad parts of it, anyway.. ] I think what stands out the most to me is that it seems to be rather old-fashioned compared to many of the places other people here come from? We didn't have any of this technology you can find on the train that others seem to find very normal.

Yes, our world is like that as well, it doesn't have any technology at all. There seem to be more people from places that have technology though.

[Honestly a lot of the technology is advanced even for the earth he knows. Some very much so like something out of a science fiction story. But in other ways just subtly so. Like these screens, earth has computers and technically recording and responding to a video in real time like this isn't a huge stretch of the imagination, but he's not seen any computers that can do it.]
flatteries: (but now is better than never)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-12 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Right! Most of the time it feels like almost everyone is familiar with it except for me.

[ Which he laughs at, so it sounds more like a joke rather than a Genuine Concern He May Have Sometimes. Because, you know, Inigo doesn't worry! Ever! Clearly! But he's still glad that Taiki at least seems to understand.. He truly is the perfect friend. ]

Not to mention a lot of people here seem to have something against monarchy? [ Judging by the whole Edge debacle(s). ] But that's how most countries work where I come from.
longforgottenpromise: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-14 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
If you need anything explained... I can help. [He is already does so for Lord Gyousou and Wen Qing so adding Inigo to his attempts at explaining things would be no problem.

He frowned at the latter, knowing why Inigo would worry about such things. Though he won't mention that, not in public like this.]


It is how every land where we come from works as well. Though inheritance is not legal there and the kingdom does not pass down through families.
flatteries: (somebody said that life isn't fair)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-16 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He hums a little, seeming to think. ]

It seems like the world you two come from is closer to mine than most others represented here. [ From what it sounds like, anyway. Sure, there's weird animal growing trees, but there's some things from his world that Taiki and Gyousou's doesn't have. ] I'm rather glad for that. It does make me feel slightly less odd. Though I could definitely use your aid with getting a bit more used to certain things others here speak of...
longforgottenpromise: (smiles)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-16 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Any time you are confused you can ask me. I'll do my best, though I can't say I understand everything.
flatteries: (a rhythm for the songs)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-17 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. [ He smiles. ] What would I do without you?
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-17 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... [He just looks awkward again, as he so often does when Inigo lavishes him with unnecessary praise.]

I think you would be find, you are very clever and would figure things out.
flatteries: (if there's a hole in your heart)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-18 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, he knows Taiki is being genuine, but he can't help but laugh a little at that. ]

I think you might just be the first person to ever call me clever. [ Usually people just say he's an idiot.. ]
longforgottenpromise: (confused)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-21 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [That's sad. Because Inigo is clever and should know it.

He blinks at him through the camera sadly seriously considering going to find him and giving him a hug.]
flatteries: (it sort of sounds like you leaving)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-21 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh no.

Taiki is looking sad. It's like an alarm is going off in Inigo's head right now. The Taiki looking sad alarm. The mini Inigos inside of his mind are screaming and running in circles, this isn't allowed to happen! ]


Hey, don't give me that look! [ TIME TO PUT ON THE BIGGEST FAKE SMILE. ] They just haven't seen my true genius yet the way you have! I know I can always count on you.
longforgottenpromise: (smiles)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-23 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[He gets a smile back, a little forced, but he doesn't want Inigo to be worried about him looking sad.]

I am sure you will show them all how clever you are. They will see it, for sure.
flatteries: (we were caught up)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-24 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[ Except not of course, because Inigo is pretty sure that with every single thing he's doing in this place he's convincing more and more people that he's just an idiot-- ]

And then you can tell them all you were the first to see my true genius! They'll call you a pioneer!
longforgottenpromise: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-25 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles at that and then tilts his head to listen to the other messages coming through the ICP and his smile turns worried.]

I should probably go and help our Lord Gyousou...

[Before things got too confused.]
flatteries: (an optimist about this)

[personal profile] flatteries 2020-05-25 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! [ Inigo got so lost in the conversation that he totally forgot about its original goal for a moment there. He laughs with only the faintest hint of a blush colouring his cheeks. ]

Right. I'm sure there must be quite some confused people. I wish you luck with it, Taiki.
longforgottenpromise: (contemplation)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-26 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you Inigo. I'll see you later.
