[It's only a week late, but it's better than never, right? Right? Oh dear, hopefully someone didn't just...say that to her without meaning it. Because she totally took it at face value.

Also, she's been having issues with getting lost. Yep. No biggie there, happens all the time. Somehow, she's managed to find herself in a tree in the park. Because, you see, there's a very interesting story to go to that, but first...]

It almost reminds me of home, in a way. Well, Sundermount and Kirkwall, I suppose. Except with barking dogs! That I haven't heard in so long, really. When they're not trying to attack me. It's really nice. And cleaner, too! [And sunnier..and quieter. People haven't been barking at her either. Not yet at least.]

It's just Death City isn't a very nice name. It's so...dismal. If we named it something happy, maybe people would stay here longer. Or be happier about it. Death City just doesn't seem to inspire much confidence. [But wait--that's not entirely what she meant!] Not that it's really needed or anything, just something to think about.

[She kind of lowers the communicator, laughing nervously.]

Sorry. I ramble when I get nervous. I don't mean to, it just happens. I'll just...stop talking now. Yes.

[She fumbles with the communicator as she hasn't quite learned how to turn it off yet. There's a small, "Oops," as really the only thing seen is the ground rushing to meet the screen before it turns off.]

Oh, a pamphlet would make for lovely reading! If everyone can read, that is. Then I guess it would have to be put into that...voice function thingy, like what's on here. [Oh wait. History, would that also mean all those stuffy subjects like politics and wars? Because that's so boring.]

There should be fun things in it, like... Where to find kittens. Or the best places to spend the day. [How not to wind up in a tree for the better part of a day... The important things.]

I believe that your suggestion would fall under an idiot's guide to adjusting to a new universe rather than an informational leaflet on our illustrious predecessors.

[her tone makes it clear which book she thinks Merill here should get]

I'm certain that given the immense free time Shibusen has on their hands they shouldn't have much difficulty in printing up both.

[And that tone goes over her head. She's heard worse and in worse tones. And given that it usually came from friends, she's just going to figure that Rose is broody and leave it at that.]

It would be so lovely if they could do both. That way there's the stuffy one for those passionate about history and everything, and the fun one for the rest of us.

And an easy way to sort out the people one wishes to avoid given obvious personality traits, which ought to serve as a faster way than feeling out the newcomers over the network.
