[Makoto looks a little uneasy sitting in front of the computer, almost as if she’s afraid of touching it, thank whichever of the Seven Lucky Gods are listening that there is a camera…it means less touching until she’s comfortable]

They said it would make studying easier, but I think this is a little extreme [pokes the screen dubiously] and I’ve never been that great with things like this, my best subject is home economics and I’m not too bad at martial arts either…

…that reminds me, today was my first day at Juuban Junior High and I ran into a couple of cream puffs picking on a girl from my school. I can’t stand the kind of gutless coward who would pick on a girl, especially one that can’t fight back. Took care of them though, heh…

[Looks thoughtfully down at the keyboard]

…Though I guess that’s where my reputation for fighting comes from, it’s a misunderstanding I think, but most of the students in my new school avoided me…except for that strange little dumpling head who was attacked earlier…she was actually pretty friendly…and she had a huge appetite too. I think I liked that best of all, if she likes to eat then I can invite her over and cook for her…it does get a little bit lonely here…

[She suddenly realizes that she’s talking to a computer, inanimate objects don’t usually talk back, but there’s no one else around so why not. She’ll still scratch the back of her head and laugh nervously now]

Ha…hahaha…well you’re not going to talk back are you so I guess it’s time to get down to brass tacks as they say! It’ll be a pain if I get left too far behind, but as long as it’s not last place…so…does this thing have pong on it?

[Yeah…forget about studies]

Not too delicate. You did throw him.

You're welcome. [ headtilt ] Where are you from? I don't see why they would get upset about you doing anything to it even if you did. ...You should probably wear the uniform if they have one though.

How much was she eating exactly?

All the time. Still do on occasion but I fight back so...

Ahah that is true!

I come from Japan, I just transferred to a new junior high school and a lot of the schools here are pretty big on conformity...no strange hair styles or colors, everyone has to wear the same uniform...it's like the military or something...but the uniform they have for the girls, they don't make them in my size so I have to wear my old school's uniform.

Oh, well...let's see, she ate her lunch and about half of mine, which is okay because I wasn't really hungry anyway.

That's horrible [and these bullies better not let her catch them at it] but it's good that you don't just take it!

A lot of people are from Japan here. ...That's unfortunate. Did you tell them about the uniform? If they don't make it then you can't be blamed.

Wonder if she ate a big breakfast too...

I figure if I fight back they can't keep going forever.

Really? Where are you from...? Ah...yeah I did tell them about my uniform, I think they kind of understand about that, but I still get comments on the hair.

Probably. When I first met her she had a piece of half eaten toast that had fallen out of her mouth...I guess because those guys scared her. She seemed to be in a rush too. Late for classes...ah...well I guess that means I was late too.

That's right! Bullies only bully people who they think won't fight back!

America. Nobody can vouch for you that it's natural?

Maybe she didn't get to eat breakfast because she was in a rush and that's why she was so hungry and had half-eaten toast.

Or people they think they can win against.

Oh, that's incredible...so far away. Maybe I'll get to go there someday. Um...well, nobody who is living or who is close to where I live can vouch for me. It's just my word.

That...is a pretty good point. I guess I'll have to wait and see if her appetite is as big as I thought.

Hmmm...[god, she really hates bullies]

It is far away. It's really neat. If you're in a different year than me you should definitely try to visit it. ...I guess they can only tell you to change your hair so many times. They'll give up eventually and realize you were telling the truth.

Could be a metabolism thing. Unless she's a big girl...

[ ditto. let's make an anti-bully club. ]

I think my parents went to visit a long time ago...they brought back a cookbook for me that has my favorite cherry pie and meatloaf recipes inside. If they were here they would probably vouch for me.

No, she's surprisingly pretty small...and short, if it's a metabolism thing then she's pretty lucky!

[She would be the first to join!]

Oh. I'm sorry. ...I think I have one around with pies in it, if you wanted.

Maybe lucky isn't the right word if you need a ton of food around you all the time to fuel it.

Ahah it's alright [of course she will forever be afraid of planes, but she's fine] Oh, well I love cooking and I have a cook book library I wouldn't mind expanding if you don't use them!

I guess we'll find out. Either way I like big appetites, gives me a chance to get in more cooking practice.

Mine aren't around either. [ Nods a little ] I don't. I could send it to you.

That's a good way to look at it. You'd always have a food tester.

I'm sorry, I understand how that must feel. [Alright that brightens up her mood] That would be great...you would need an address, huh?

Well that's true, if she hangs around I'm sure she would try anything I made, she doesn't seem too picky.

It's okay. It was a while ago. ...Uh. I think I get the year and the country and then someone delivers it to you for me? I haven't tried worldhop deliveries yet.

She's chewing, right?

You can deliver things through this community? [she's going to assume that worldhop is community lingo and just accept it]

Yeah sh...wait...now that's harder to tell, she could just be inhaling...she does eat pretty fast.

I think so? I don't see why anyone couldn't. You ask worldhopper and then they send it... right?

That might be a problem if she's inhaling because then she's not tasting anything.

Worldhopper...is that like the Express Mail Service for the internet? I guess if it's anything like that then I guess it shouldn't be too hard.

Well, she tends to tell me how it tastes so I imagine the food is passing over her taste buds while she's inhaling.

Right. It should be easy. I'll ask Eris.

...Like a dog?

Okay! By the way, my name is Kino Makoto...but you can call me Makoto, or Mako if you want to.

...That...might be very close.

Mako? It's nice to meet you. I'm Steve Rogers. So... just Steve if you want?

Probably shouldn't tell her that though.

It's nice to meet you too Steve!

A...hahah...I'll definitely take your advice.

What were you trying to do before I started talking to you with the video? Was it a talking diary?

[Coughcoughhomeworkcoughcough]

Well I guess I was just talking to myself, I didn't know someone was really listening...but I think I forgot to be embarrassed about it. I guess it's a little strange talking to yourself.

It's not that strange.

You don't think so? That's such a relief! Mister Steve, do you talk to yourself sometimes too?

You don't have to say Mister. And I think everyone does.
