What do you know about the woman and the key?

The grunty is cute, right? :-)

[ Isn't he helpful? ]

[ganymed]

The grunty's cute, but seriously...

...Nothing other than that woman was yelling about finding it in somebody. What about you? Where is this key supposed to be? Why is she desperate to find it? Why's the grunty even able to cure anyone? Did you name it Ki?

Why did after that woman come around people started ended up being affected in the first place?

[dzelkva]

They key was in the Net Slum, where I'm from. I've left it solely in Tabibito's hands now.

I don't know why she wanted to find it, though. I tried looking for her, but she's nowhere to be found now. But she was the one spreading that "illness". I guess that's what you'd call a Patient Zero?

I made the key into a grunty plush because I thought having it that size would be easiest to keep. Tabibito is the one who named it. :-)

[ganymed]

Oh, alright.

...Net Slum's like your home town, I guess? Though I haven't heard of it being a visitable root town.

Also, you never have to worry about catching illnesses like that? Ever?

[dzelkva]

It isn't one! :-)

No, I haven't gotten sick or felt any of the effects from anything here.

[ganymed]

It's not? Is it more like one of those recreational areas?

Is it because you had found that key, or has it just always been like that for you?

[dzelkva]

It's not like a recreational. The Net Slum is like nothing else in this world.

It's always been like this, but maybe it is because of the key. I don't know.

[ganymed]

Nothing else? Because it's neither a Root Town or Recreational or maybe even a Dungeon? Or does it just look like the prettiest place in the world?

...Well, I hope it stays that way. These effects, including any other ones, aren't things I'd want anyone here to put up with.

[dzelkva]

I think it's beautiful. But it's none of those things, you're right.

I hope so too, but I wish none of you experienced them at all.

[ganymed]

Home is also always most beautiful out of all the places.

...I appreciate the thought. All of this feels like it's slowly getting a bit more out of hand each day.

[dzelkva]

It does. But you can always find me if it's too much. I don't always have the solution, but sometimes I can help.

How would you describe your home?

[ganymed]

...I might take you up on that. I'm not the greatest conversationalist, but knowing someone would listen can be enough at the time.

Though when I think of my home, I immediately come up with these three words:

Beautiful, peaceful, quiet. When I come out of my house, I'm able to glance around at my immediate surroundings filled with birds or plants, look up at the blue sky, and be grateful that I have the freedom to return to it every day. The freedom to also plop on my bed, say my prayers, and fall into a peaceful rest.

It's a wonderful place that feels unmatched by anywhere else. I'm sure you understand.

[dzelkva]

Being good at conversation doesn't really matter, you know. We all have our strengths anyway.

[ And he thinks Ganymede has plenty of other strengths to make up for that anyway. ]

I do understand. I feel the same way about a lot of the places here, in this world.

Of course, I'm sure none of it can compare to the real world.

[ganymed]

Well, that's true. Some people are just better at other things.

[ Whether it's looking pretty, being able to dance, or, you know, other things. ]

A lot of people would feel that way, but to you, this is your real world. And as for me, yeah, this world is not really the same when I think of my own.

Have you seen a picture of what the real world looks like, though?

[dzelkva]

I guess there's a different feeling of belonging, right? Like feeling like you belong there instead of here.

I haven't. I've never looked.

[ganymed]

Yeah, something like that. :)

...You haven't? Have you heard of certain places? Like, countries and stuff?

I could show you photos over a message.

[ Thank goodness this thread is before the big you know what, lol. ]

[dzelkva]

I have, but only information that I've been able to access. But I've never really thought about seeking it out, so I haven't.

I'd like you to show me pictures, though. :-)

[ganymed]

...Then, take a look.

[ Ganymede will send a flurry of pictures. Beaches, fields, towns, you name it. ]

[dzelkva]

You live in a very beautiful place. :-)

[ganymed]

Thanks!! I wish I could show you around but this will do just fine.

I also want to see your home too someday.

[dzelkva]

Pictures are more than enough for me.

I hope I can too! Maybe sometime soon.
