Uh...hi, I guess.

[A slightly awkward teenager(?) appears onscreen, sounding as uncertain as he looks. He's apparently found apartment F1 001, as the background seems to be a bedroom.]

My name's Waver Velvet, and I just got here recently. I wanted to ask--does anyone know if there's a library or a bookstore anywhere?

[He's in for a nasty shock: the poor kid can't read Japanese worth a damn.]

Greetings Waver. I am Kaldur. [Kaldur holds a hand up and then answers the question asked.] While there are libraries and bookstores available the majority of the texts are either written in Japanese.

[Have a bedridden military woman, Waver. She has a dragon dozing on her chest and she's frowning.]

You speak japanese? You're out of luck if you don't. We've had a hell of a time finding anything in english. It'd help if the Cadet could tell the difference between languages...

[In spite of her apparent grump with her partner, she pats him on the head anyways.]

[ Since this girl is Japanese, she had no trouble at all reading. ]

I think there is a bookstore somewhere in--- [ Gives directions to a big bookstore in the city. That sold Japanese books. And the street signs are all written in Japanese. ]

[asking about books is one of the fastest ways to get Kyouko's attention]

There are several libraries scattered across the city, but none of the texts are particularly useful in providing insight on how this world works.

Do you speak Japanese, or will you need a translator?

You call that an introduction? So short and to the point.

[ A beat. ] Guess that sort of suits you though.
