[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]

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.

Steve...[Smiles]...Hm...everyone talks to themselves huh? I like that idea, somehow it seems less lonely.

It does, right? I always think people do and a lot of them just don't like to admit it. If you answer yourself back though that might not be good.

True, but what if you ask yourself a question...is it okay to answer back if you come up with the answer?
