Is this real?

[Kotomi hesitates for a moment before continuing.]

I acknowledge the existence of parallel worlds, but...I didn't think it was...theoretically possible to get transported to one. Then again, there is much we as humans do not understand about the ways of our big, big universe...I suppose that is why we ache to learn.

Man, I'm wondering the same thing. But, you know, with less science mumbo jumbo crap. I mean, this world doesn't even make sense-- how does it exist?

[heart_x_strings]

In layman's terms...it branched out from a decision made sometime in the past.

Hypothetically...the mayor of this town wanted everything to remain the same, and so it did. In this world, at least. In the world that would be called "real" it went on in time as it normally would.

[She hesitates now.] But...this is just my theory, sir. I find it personally very odd of how we were transported here from our own universes.

[hotfrombehind]

Yeah, alright. So they must have some real fucking amazing scientists up here or something. I mean, from where I come from, our engineers can make machines that help us recover faster and transport us from place to place almost fucking instantly. Must be some damn good science.

....Not too sure about that tricky "universe" thing you got there, though.

[heart_x_strings]

Oh, that's fascinating. At some later time, you'll have to tell me more about the engineers of yours.

And...[She thinks for a moment.] It's quantum mechanics, sir.

[hotfrombehind]

Hah. I could tell you about them as people, sure, but what they got up in their heads is a mystery. Classified shit. It's all geared towards the war we've been fighting for fucking ages, so I dunno if it's relevant to the shit going on here.

Well, well. Fancy-ass science and maths, right? Yeah, don't give me that crap. Just tell me if you think it's possible for us to get out of here, preferably unscathed.

[heart_x_strings]

Hmmm. [She'll consider his words about the engineers.]

[And she flinches. She's whimpering a little bit now.]

P-Please don't speak t-to me like that...[She gulps.]...and I do not know. If we managed to get a hold of the technology they used to transport us here and reverse it, then perhaps.

[hotfrombehind]

Like what? Am I talking too fast for you? Or-- Ah, right, maybe it's the fucking cussing, eh? Guess I'm sorry. You sound like a lady, so I guess you're delicate and shit, right? Ah-- [He starts to mumble under his breath.]

Seems like pretty complicated shit-- er, stuff, for the fifties. They won't let us near any of the important looking buildings, though.

[heart_x_strings]

[She flinches a little bit more, but says nothing of the rest.]

What would these important buildings be? I might be able to gather some information on them.

[hotfrombehind]

Like, the town hall and the dairy, I think? I dunno, I think the f-- the milk is screwed up. Don't drink it, in any case.

phone;

[heart_x_strings]

Town hall and dairy...alright.

I-I can't drink the milk, sir?

phone;

[hotfrombehind]

Wouldn't really recommend it. Apparently it's dangerous or something, I have no freaking clue. Just-- you know, stay away from it. Hmm, I wonder if they ever make cake around here if they never touch the milk. And what about cats? Hmm...

phone;

[heart_x_strings]

Ah, um...alright. I will stay away from the milk, then.

Thank you for your assistance, sir. If I could get your name, so I may tell you any information I acquire...?

[hotfrombehind]

Atta girl.

My name--? Fuck, it still surprises me when people ask me for that. Uh, call me Pyro, alright? Easier that way. What about you, miss?

phone;

[heart_x_strings]

Alright. I am Kotomi Ichinose. Please call me Kotomi

phone;

[hotfrombehind]

Alright. Excuse me if I screw up the pronunciation.
