You don't remember getting knocked out.

That's the best descriptor for the feeling you experience before you wake up. There's a glittering absence of color to your field of vision, and a sensation that you aren't yourself, you aren't anything in particular. Abruptly, unpleasantly, you wake up in a strange, sunny location. Where that is might vary--laying in a sun chair on the pool deck, draped over the skee-ball machine in the arcade, face down in a cart in the laundry room....or just stretched out in the long, long expanse of sand surrounding the island.

There doesn't seem to be anyone else here, aside from the others who have woken up and have as little clue where they might be as you do. It's a silent, empty island filled with a lot of questions and few clear answers. What you can conclude are a few things: that you don't get hungry or tired, that any wounds you have don't seem to either heal or worsen, and leaving the island doesn't seem to be possible.

Maybe it would be good to meet with the others who have woken up?

[He shakes his head.]

It is no trouble at all. ‘Tis better to proceed with caution and ask others for information than rushing into danger.

[photoning]

Yeah. I hope this camera will save some people some trips, but I don't know if I can rush out to the front lines on my own...

[Mahiru's brow furrows as if that will make the unknowns come into focus At All.]

[howveryglib]

Ah... yes, I do believe a camera would be helpful in this situation for the sake of documenting things, at least. Though, I am surprised it is small enough to be handheld...

[is it some allagan stuff?????]

[photoning]

This one is pretty small, I won't lie. I'm glad it's not too heavy for a girl like me.

[Don't crush it with your big XIV hands, sir.]

Well, the principle of light on a sheet can be shrunk down pretty small when you think about it. Technology is amazing.

[howveryglib]

[wait this isn’t a pokemon short run! You’re not the technology is amazing guy!!!]

Indeed. I am always happy to see that technology continues apace in most areas.

[you know the areas that don’t involve war crimes.]

[photoning]

Oh, what kind of areas do you find yourself keeping an eye on? Different regions, different fields of study?

[Is his world a bit geographically scattered with a wide range of technology depending on the location? What are his skills, as Akutagawa will put it at the meeting later.]

[howveryglib]

Ah... well, one of my closest friends was a mechanical engineer, so I developed something of an interest in various sorts of machines through him. Vehicles, weaponry, large-scale transportation... those sorts of things.
