G-geez, it's freezing...

[In the afternoon, those in the plaza may find this poor unfortunate new feather trudging toward it as he makes his way there in only pants. Needless to say, he's freezing, and he just wants some actual clothes and warm food...! And to know what the heck is going on. He had already glanced at his journal a bit before, so he knows where he is at least, but he's still awfully confused. Not like he really had the chance to read the journal's guide in depth yet since he's just trying to find a place to stay indoors for now.

Either way, care to help this kiddo out?]

[Later on, once he's all settled and knows what he needs to know, he creates his first journal entry in order to address a Very Important Question.]

Hello everyone. My name is Jude Mathis. I'm what you all call a "new feather," and I just arrived earlier today. I've already read most of the guide, so don't worry about filling me in on where I am and all. I do, however, have one particular question...

What do you all do with your wings in regards to clothing? It's kind of uncomfortable to keep them underneath it all, but it'd be a shame if I had to cut up my favorite clothes just to fit my wings through a hole... So does anyone have any suggestions? I figure it's either one or the other, but it's worth asking what you all do, at least.

And also, is there anyone here from Rieze Maxia? Milla? Alvin? [On one hand, he hopes he's not the only one, but on the other, he really wouldn't want them to be stuck here like he apparently is...]

Anyway, thanks.

Oh, there you are.

[Upon seeing and hearing Kirk, Jude makes his way on over to the table and sits across from him.]

That was a good call. It's nice to meet you too -- you know, in person this time, haha...

Haha, yeah, I know. It's kind of weird, like I've been talking on the phone to someone for ages and finally get to see their face.

_{[ He chuckled, but seemed relaxed and wholly not nervous. ]}

I think I had been imagining you would a mop-top though.

It definitely is. It's a lot nicer to meet face-to-face though, I think. It's kind of hard getting a good glimpse at what people look like through the little image the journals provide us with...

[Kirk certainly didn't look quite as Jude thought he did either.]

But... A mop-top...?

I think it's cause you're called 'Jude' and I got to thinking of the Beatles. They had this famous hair style called a 'mop-top'.

_{[ He chuckled and waved him to sit down. ]}

But they were way before my time.

I figured as much, but I have a hard time imagining what a "mop-top" hairstyle would look like.

[He pauses for a moment, thinking it over.]

...Really, all I can imagine is it looking like they literally have a mop on their head, stringy hair and all.

_{[ He laughed, but it wasn't a mocking one. ]}

Haha nope, it just means this sort of longish hair cut. I think it usually has bangs? You're is a bit to spiky. They were back in style a couple decades ago - pops up in movies all the time.

Putting it that way, I think I can more or less imagine what it may look like. [Kind of. Maybe.]

And I'm guessing movies are another part of your advanced technology?

Yeah, though they've been around for a long time in my world. Easiest explanation is to try and imagine movie pictures that include color and sound.

Huh... Well, it sure seems like I have a lot of technology to catch up on while I'm here. Are there movies around in Luceti?

You know, I don't think we have a theatre, but I'm sure I can show you something on the TVs with DVDs or something. It's how I watched Star Wars.

Star Wars? [Sounds pretty cool!] If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to do that sometime.

What's Star Wars about?

The gist of it? A battle between dark and light, more or less. I guess it's popular on some worlds, but it never made it to mine.

[So a pretty common theme, huh.]

So you saw it here in Luceti, then?

Yeah, my friend Luke gave it to me.

_{[ He's going to avoid the having explain Star Wars is also Luke's
life, more or less, because ugh, headaches. ]}

Oh, that's great. So you won't have to look around town or anything for whenever we do watch it together.

"We"?

_{[ His brows shot up, but he's not angry, more just amused than
anything. He's happy enough to watch movies, so there's not really a
complaint. He's just surprised he got invited to watch movies so quick.
]}

[Oh, now he's embarrassed... Jude looks down sheepishly.]

Oh, is that not all right? You mentioned showing me something on the "TV" or "DVD," so I just kind of assumed...

Hahaha, yeah, it's fine, I was just teasing you for a second. It'll be fun. Do you have popcorn in your world? If not I'm introducing you to it.

Oh, all right. [How embarrassing. He nods though.] But yup, we do have that, at least. No special TVs or anything to make it, but we use fire-based spirit artes to heat up the kernels.

[TVs... Jude please.]

As opposed to just using a plain old fire?

_{[ One eyebrow-cocking thing going on here. Because 'arte' sounded
fancy for something that... wasn't. ]}

Well, making a regular fire would work just fine, but preparing one would generally take a little longer than just using artes. So usually people would just stick to that.

Fair enough. I'd pick a microwave over a fire any day, so I see your point.

A microwave...?

It's an appliance in my world. It uses micro waves to rapidly heat up food.

What does it look like?

[Maybe it's one of those strange box things in Asbel's kitchen...]
