2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

Asuna was feeling pretty energetic today but she still felt she needed a little more kick, Asuna entered the common room, looked around the cupboards, found what she needed and proceeded to brew a pot of coffee. After a few minutes brewing, Asuna poured herself a cup.

Mmmm... coffee!

(Open!)

"Thank you," he said, pouring a cup and savoring the aroma a bit before his first sip. "You're one of the new students?"

Not that James was an old student...

Asuna nodded, "New-ish, I came here for the first summer class."

"Ah, I see. I am the same...and I prefer these dorms over those cabins." He flashed her a quick grin.

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

"I prefer dorms too," Asuna said after a sip. "I can live in the woods or the cabins if I have to. But I like the dorms, it reminds me of home."

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

He made a face at the mention of sleeping in the woods. "I much prefer the city, though. Where is home?"

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

"It's in Mahora Academy in Japan." Asuna answered, "It's a lot like Fandom only bigger."

Sip. Mmmm, coffee. "Is that part of this world? I've seen maps, but I do not know where places are."

"It's all the way in the other side of the world," she told him. "This world, I mean."

"That's a bit of a journey," he said with a small smile. "Did you take a ship? Or a portal?"

"Both, I think, I left Japan in a plane but when I got here I seemed to have skip a few years into the future!"

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

He blinked. "A plane?" It sounded familiar...

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

"Um, it's a..." Asuna searched and flailed for the proper words to use. "ship that flies!"

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

He frowned, picturing it, mostly like a masted ship but with the sails on the sides and--"Like a metal bird?" he asked, having seen the shape before.

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

"Yes, like a metal bird! But bigger!" Now don't ask her how it flies.

Magic. Of course. Everything in this world worked on magic. It worked on his!

"I've seen pictures!" he exclaimed. "What's it like? How big is it? Were you a passenger or part of the crew?"

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

"A passenger, it'd be a mess if I were part of the crew! It's really big! Bigger than this room! You can take fifteen of these rooms and fit it in the plane."

Okay, Asuna was exaggerating but it felt that big.

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

"I've been on ships that big, but only as a passenger." Well, and the few times he crept onboard, and the time he thought he would be press-ganged into ship duty if he got caught...

"Much different with a ship," he said. "Metal, for one, and no sails." Not that James was a master sailor himself...

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

"Well..." Asuna tilted her head. "Most of our ships are metal now and have no sails."

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"But metal is heavy; how do they float?" he asked, also tilting his head.

This world was perplexing.

"Science," Asuna said the way she would magic. Because no matter how many times it was explained to her... she still didn't get it.

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

"That is related to electricity," he stated, almost as a question.

He had much to learn.

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

[ostianbelle.livejournal.com]

"Yep." There was a lot of nodding. "It's all connected!"

Re: 2nd Floor Common Room / July 5 / Morning

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"That would make sense," he mused.
