[in a random field somewhere, a thick blanket of leaves and small piles around him. there's a smaller cleared area where his little campsite was, and he's standing in front of a half dismantled tent, having stopped in the middle of the process to make this broadcast]

It's amazing how many leaves have accumulated over the week. It does make camping out a bit more difficult.

But I realized something as I was setting up my campfire last night. Don't all these dry leaves create a rather dangerous fire hazard? I mean, everything is practically covered with them.

Haha, of course I kept my fire contained, but it did make me wonder since it could be rather dangerous, especially if there were any pyromaniacs around. [a pause before he gives a laugh] Whoops, hope I didn't give anyone any ideas! [he actually does not care if he did]

Maybe we should try shoving all these leaves out the barrier and into the desert.

I forgot about that! It's like GSP or whatever!

[knightofchanges]

I thought it was called GPS?

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

Is that it? I'm not sure what it even stands for!

[knightofchanges]

Haha, I honestly don't know either. We don't have such devices where I'm from.

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

All the new technology is too complicated! To be honest, I can only work a remote properly. But technology can do some amazing things!

[knightofchanges]

Really? I take it your world must be similar to this one then.

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

You could say that! There are definitely some things I need to get used to, though. I thought it was really strange to see everybody with a persocom when I first got to Tokyo, but now I'm so used to it it's strange not to see them everywhere.

[knightofchanges]

Persocom?

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

Right, you said your world didn't have any of the things this place has. How to explain persocoms... Basically, they're computers shaped like humans. They can do anything a computer can do, kind of like the Dreamberry! Of course, it's because they can do so many things that they're really expensive. There's no way I'd be able to afford a persocom on my paycheck!

[knightofchanges]

Computers shaped like humans...that really is a strange thing. So you don't own one?

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

You probably won't believe it but I do!

[knightofchanges]

Yet you just said you couldn't afford one! [laughs] Then was it a gift?

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

Actually, and this is what's really unbelievable, I found her laying in the trash! So you could say it was a gift from fortune!

[knightofchanges]

Lying in the trash?

...And you just took her in?

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

Her body would have been crushed if I hadn't done it! Just like some piece of junk! I saved her!

[knightofchanges]

[laughs] But she's just a machine, isn't she? She's not a live person.

[tastysidedish.livejournal.com]

Don't talk about her like she's just piece of metal! It's not like she's a Dreamberry! She has memories and feelings... She's more than a machine.

[knightofchanges]

Heeeh...but doesn't she function like what? For instance, couldn't you reset all that data?
