Is this how you work it? I really need some-oh, it's on! Great! It was getting frustrating after a while, but it...looks like the video on this thing is working.

[And so the face of a spikey-haired boy comes into view, his face showing signs of excitement.]

Ciaossu! Listen, there's a problem here. See, this place keeps on popping up on my computer, and I've tried several times to make it go away. But, it just won't! I really don't know what to think about it.

Anyways, it's really starting to clog up my computer by this point, and I'm wondering if there is any way to just make it go away. What is this place supposed to be, some sort of...social network site? This is all sounding way too familiar with what Natsume-san does.

...oh, right! I forgot about it. Ahem, my name is Souhei Sasahara, but my friends call me "Sasayan", so feel free to call me that. If you have any idea on how to help me, please let me know! If it doesn't go away then... [A bit of despair seemed to flash on his face at that point, quickly replaced by his usual grin.] Thanks, you've been helpful!

Ciaossu? Social network?

[ Lydia most certainly doesn't understand this stuff. :| ]

Edited 2013-02-20 01:18 (UTC)

Ciaossu! It means hi in Italian! [He offers a smile- that is, until she questions the social network part.]

...You know, the site that we're on? [A laugh emitted from his lips.]

Oh! You speak multiple languages? I thought this community translated everything, since there are many people I can understand here.

[ She's lucky to read and write English, okay. The community doesn't translate if you intentionally use foreign words, but the social networking part.. that's a whole other issue. ]

A site? Like a location? Is that what you'd call this? I simply assumed it was magic in a book.

Ah, they can do that? I just had a feeling that everyone I was speaking to just spoke Japanese. Ah, the more you learn, I suppose. [He chuckled a bit, but soon enough, his expression went blank when she mentioned "magic in a book".]

Hold on, you're telling me that this is inside of a book for you? ...let alone with magic? [The look on his face seemed to show his confusion.] You're...joking right?

[Sure, he's met some weird people before, but...one that doesn't know what a site is, or at least what "social networking" is? There must be something he's missing.]

I don't speak a word of it, I'm from Scotland.

[ Lydia shakes her head, looking a little perplexed. She knows there are things that a lot of people have that surpass her technology level, but that it's so shocking to find things in books is a concern, isn't it?

Especially since she knows that look of confusion, so she automatically assumes there's doubt and the assumption that she's some kind of nutter. Which changes her tone to slightly clipped. ]

I'm serious.

Ah, seems like you get all sorts of people in this place. I wonder how the folks manage to keep this site manageable...

[Her shift in tone did make him a little bit nervous. Sheesh, she really did seem serious when she said that it was magic in a book. Maybe he should just go along with it for now. It's not good to make an enemy upon contact, right?]

H-Heh, sorry for doubting you, then. I didn't mean to tick you off or anything.

[Of course, that doesn't help the fact that his face still shows signs of confusion.]

Well it does cross times and universes.

[ She seems to relax when he apologizes at least. ] It's-- I'm from 1865. So if I don't understand what you're saying on occasion, it's because it probably hasn't been invented yet. But magic and fairies do exist, so don't sound so surprised simply because you can't see them.

[...did she just say what he think she just said? Fairies and magic? It's making his head spin. And there's just no way he can grasp anything she's saying. Ah, the perks of living a normal life.]

W-Wow, that does seem cool, actually. I would kill to be some sort of wizard or something! But with where I- wait, 1865!? [...Well, he finally just caught unto that.]

I don't know about wizards, I don't think there are any in my world, but I know for a fact that there are magic in other worlds. There are a few spells in mine, but I'm certainly not a witch. I'm a fairy doctor.

[ She nods. ]

Yes, 1865.

[He's beginning to think that someone might be pulling a prank on him with of everything that is coming out of her mouth. But...she seems so certain of it, which disturbs him.]

...A fairy doctor? So you have wings and all of that? [He motions to his back.]

Jeez, this place sure is weird if you're from that time era...and especially off a book.

I'm not a fairy myself, I'm a fairy doctor. A fairy doctor is a human with the capability of seeing fairies who chooses to dedicate his or her life to the pursuit of knowledge regarding fairies while acting as a liaison between the human and fairy world. In other words, I help to keep humans and fairies living peacefully.

[ She tilts her head, adding thoughtfully. ] Many fairies don't have wings either, though. There are pixies, the Fairy Queen's court, and quite a few others but even really common ones like Brownies or Coblynau don't have wings.

Though I must agree with you. I find some of the things here very difficult to believe myself.

[The look on his face as she's describing these things shows the mass confusion he was experiencing....he was following it all too well, but to him, it all sounds like gibberish. Oh crap, he hope she doesn't get mad from his expressions.

At the same time, though, it does sound interesting. Fairy doctors as mediums between the two species? That's something that caught his interest.]

Hey, some things may be hard to believe in, but that doesn't make them not true. I guess I have to believe in what you're saying, though, about the whole fairy thing...it actually seems cool to have a job like that! Or a role...I dunno if it's pleasant or not.

Oh, man, you know what would really help out, too? Knowing your name! If I'm talking to someone that has interesting stuff to say about their world, it would be better to address them by their name, as well!

Oh! My apologies. My name is Lydia Carlton.

[ She laughs a little, happy but nervous. Even though he's obviously not sure what to think about this stuff, he isn't treating her like she's nuts. ]

I love the job but it's not exactly a very well-accepted one, unfortunately. I didn't get paid much until recently.

Nice to meet you, Lydia-san! [Wow that sounds weird just saying that. Maybe he'll just stick to Lydia.]

Eh, what do you mean "not a very well-accepted" one? Do the humans not like fairies that much? It sounds like you would get paid a lot to do it, actually, seeing as how you are a medium and all...

What does that one mean, Mr. Sasahara? [ She got her explanation of "-chan" from Usagi, so she doesn't quite understand suffixes like that... ]

Very few humans believe in what they can't see in front of their faces any longer.

Ah, wait, your last name is Carlton, right? It's supposed to be Carlton-san...oh! It's like saying "mister" or "miss'! But I think I might just call you Lydia. And please, call me Sasayan! [His face grew a rosy color as he said this.]

Ah, yeah, I see what you mean. Nowadays, in our time, it's really hard to believe something such as a fairy tale. But that doesn't mean they can't be true, right?

Lydia is fine. Though if I'm supposed to use your name meant for friends, then it would be Sasayan-chan, right? [ Needless to say, her last explanation wasn't thorough. She's glad she gets to call him as a friend already. ]

They're certainly true!

Haha, that's something you would actually call a girl. For me, I would be called "Sasayan-kun", as that's the suffix for boys! I'm surprised that someone taught you the "-chan" part, though. Even if they didn't do a good job in explaining it...

You know, I'm starting to think that they might just be, seeing as how you're pretty set on what you just told me. I'll believe you!

That's the only one I knew, my apologies. [ Well, at least she's getting corrected now. ] Someone on here taught me the other one. It would be Sasayan-kun then? Or should I simply stick to Mr. Sasayan or Sasayan? [ This naming thing is so difficult when other languages get involved. ]

I appreciate it.

No, no, it's alright, you're barely learning these things. It's only natural that there'd be some confusion thrown into the mix. [He wonders who could have taught her, then...] Ehe, calling me "Mr. Sasayan" would make me feel old, so either Sasayan or Sasayan-kun would work just fine!

Hey, no problem! Anything for a new friend!

Sasayan then. I'm likely to forget the suffixes or get confused again otherwise.

[ How many of these suffixes are there anyway.. ]

So you don't think you have fairies in your world then?

Alright, well, I think we've settled for something that everyone can agree on.

[Hopefully for the better.]

Eh, I'm not sure, really. I haven't seen one with my own eyes, and I have no clue what fairies would do in the first place.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Sasayan.

[ Lydia puts up a fingers, more than happy to talk about fairies. ] There are many different kinds of fairies. Have you ever had only one sock go missing?

Eh? Now that you mention it, I've always wondered where those other socks went...I thought it might have been because of my negligence of throwing my clothes or something, but...

W-Wait a minute, you're telling me fairies do things like that!?

Brownies normally help to clean up around the house, but sometimes they get mischievous and tend to take things, like socks.
