Let's expand the boundaries of our conjectures. [OPEN]

[conjecture_this]

WHO: Nagi and whoever feels like sharing!
WHERE: Through your phone, through the internet, through Coba's craigslist, through bulletin board posts or just notes on the ground... wherever your character would come across a text/written post.
TIME: Day 4, morning.
DESCRIPTION:

[Sometime during the early hours of the morning, a bit of text pops up. How one sees it varies according to how they typically get texts but regardless the message is the same.]

I trust this message is not ill-timed. I am Nagi, lately arrived to this place as many of you are as well. I would ask for the assistance of those reading this then.

In order to form a more complete picture of this dimension, I would like to engage in the process of gathering information. Many new buildings have sprung up with our arrival and those that have seem to be influenced on the preferences and tastes of those here. Those who have experienced such, what buildings arrived from your own dimensions? Have you likewise experienced locations changing around you?

I would like to ask about time periods as well. It has become evident that there are those of you from times much more advanced than my own. If I may then, I would like to ask what year it is for you. For myself it is Taisho 20 or 1931.

If there is other information you wish to share or things you would like to ask others, I encourage such as well. Together we may be able to learn more about the exacts of this dimension.

Thank you.

[He gets the message via SMS. He isn't sure how Nagi's going to receive his message, but...that won't stop him from slathering it with emotes. He's introducing her to modern day letter composition styles!]

Hi, Nagi! It's Hibiki. ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I saw a building from where I lived pop up while I was waiting for a bus, but it wasn't there when I went back to the area several hours later. ∑(;°Д°) I also got caught in the middle of a parade. It was pretty fun! ♪ I got some interesting trinkets and breakfast out of it! The street transforming out of the blue was pretty surprising. Everything blurred for a moment, and then it was night time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And you know the answer to the second question. Let me know how this reaches you!

[conjecture_this]

You got caught in the parade as well? It was quite intriguing, yes?

This message reached me via a posting on a bulletin board.

Also your message seems to have faces on it.

[breakrecord]

The parade was lots of fun! Well, once I stopped almost getting run over by them. I was in the wrong place when it first started, that's all I'll say.

Bulletin board, huh? Are you writing your responses? If it's easier on you, we can meet and chat somewhere face to face. There's some stuff I want to talk to you about anyway.

The faces probably show up better when you receive the message electronically. ♫ They're something you can do by typing certain characters, but I bet they don't look so great on paper, huh?

[And then, almost immediately after that message arrives for her:]

the faces werent real faces right?

[conjecture_this]

The parade was very colorful and exciting. I've never seen anything quite like it, in theory.

They look interesting. They weren't real faces thankfully. In theory they looked as handwritten as the rest of your text to me.

I don't mind writing but if there is more you wish to share, I will be happy to meet with you.

[breakrecord]

Whew, glad that the faces didn't show up too weird. Do you have a specific place in mind to meet? Let me know and I'll do my best to find it.

Just gimme a little while first. I need to eat breakfast before my stomach caves in on itself.

[conjecture_this]

There's a bookstore in the newly formed shopping district that I would like to peruse, if possible.

Take your time! In theory there is no rush here.

[keymash]

okay but information is kind of broad? do you mean we should survey, collect data, graphs, pie charts, correlations?

[conjecture_this]

... That all seems a bit in-depth. I had hoped to share experiences mostly.

[She's not so much a scientist or a detective as... a curious person?]

[keymash]

okay but which experiences??

[conjecture_this]

I am intrigued by the changes in environment according to individuals present. Have you encountered this?

[keymash]

uh by being here??? yes???

[teethteethteeth]

Well, at first it changed to be like a place I'm not comfortable with, but it changed away from that very quickly and since then it's been quite pleasant. I did notice the Unity Statue. Um, basically it's this big thing with an angel and a human clasping wing to hand.

As for time, I'm from the year 134 New Era, but your calendar's probably different from mine.

[conjecture_this]

Is the Unity Statue familiar to you outside of this place?

[teethteethteeth]

That's right! It's at the central plaza in Calmtown.

[conjecture_this]

Where is it located now?

[teethteethteeth]

It's somewhere near the middle of the city. It's rather large and you'll know it when you see it.

Bless this child and her emoticon spam

[heavenlychild]

[ COMPLICATED JAPANESE OH GOSH. All right, give her a moment to read this a few times and make sure she has everything right. ]

I'm Nanako it's nice to meet you Nagi! ＼(⌒▽⌒)
A lot of places from my home showed up, like the shopping district. I don't think I've seen any of them change yet I hope they don't that would be scary.（￣□￣；）
1931??? Really??? That's amazing! Did anything show up from your home? w(ﾟｏﾟ)w

[conjecture_this]

[More faces! Nagi studies them intently for a bit, trying to reason out what they must be. One of them is smiling, she understands that much.]

It's very nice to meet you as well, Nanako-san.

A few things did, yes. Nothing as intriguing at the shopping district though. That's from where you are then? Where are you from precisely, if I may ask?

[heavenlychild]

[ If Nagi wanted to learn about emoticon faces, Nanako would be more than happy to teach! ]

I'm from Inaba. It's a town in Japan. Where are you from Nagi-san? What is it like?

[ She didn't want to come out and say "I've read about you in my history class," but it was probably true. A little weird to think about, but still likely true.

Wait, should she be answering more formally? ]

[conjecture_this]

I'm from a village called Tsukigata. It's likewise a town in Japan. It's a very quiet place in theory - the Capital City is certainly much more active.

[loversdilemma]

nice 2 meet u Nagi-san ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

i'm Rise Kujikawa from 2012/Heisei 24!! ish!!!

a lot of my hometown showed up bc a lot of ppl from there did, n also the place we were staying in teh other weird magic city ( •᷄ὤ•᷅)？

[conjecture_this]

[Even more faces. Is this a typical thing now?]

Oh! Were you the one speaking of vacations?

[loversdilemma]

yeah hi! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

this house was one of the not ( ≧Д≦) parts of that place

[conjecture_this]

I see! That sounds like a good thing then. I'm glad your home came with you. It sounds to be a rather common experience thus far.

[loversdilemma]

its probly how the city welcomes people. familiar stuff.
