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.

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...]

A square, about yay big usually.

_{[ He made the shape with his hands, shrugging. ]}

It usually has buttons with a bunch of numbers on it, 0-9, and sometimes other options and a number display.

[He thinks for a moment, trying to imagine it and... ah!]

Oh! I actually think I've seen one before. Not back on Rieze Maxia, but I'm staying in a person named Asbel's house. I think he has something like that in his kitchen. You heat food in that though?

[It seems so odd...]

Yup. Put the food in and put a time using the buttons. Most stuff doesn't need long unless the package says so or you're defrosting something.

But it uses... micro waves? instead of fire to heat the food up? Are they as hot as normal fire?

[what are micro waves]

Well -

_{[ And Kirk went on to explain what a microwave was since the mun
does not know how to explain this]}

Make sense?

[Jude listens intently to the mystery in-depth sciencey explanation, nodding a few times as Kirk spoke. And once he's done, he nods once more.]

Hm... Yeah, I think I get the gist of it. It's unlike any technology we have in Rieze Maxia, but I think I more or less understand it. It's really interesting how you all have that "electricity" in replacement of anything related to spirits. We don't have anything like that.

Well, we don't have anything like spirits, so we'd have to make do. It's really kind of amazing, since there was a period where we might have remained little more than barbarians if not for some chance advancements.

It does sound amazing. I can't even imagine how we would handle something like that, considering how dependent we are on the spirits.
