[ There's only text. That's all she feels comfortable with right now - the swirl of confusion and emotion in her head makes her doubt her ability to speak publicly right now, provided that function of her cell phone really existed like the "Greeter" had said. And, deny it though she may, she was on the edge of panic. Kurisu didn't want conversation right now. She wanted answers.

Science always helped to calm her insecurities. ]

Hello. I just arrived. A few questions:

1. What determines who is "pulled" to this place? Does it involve deletion from the victim's original world line? If so, how do we retain our memories of that past time? Compressing memory data into a transportable size for just one person requires extremely powerful machinery; the concept of doing so for a whole city is unrealistic at best.

2. On that note, how many newcomers exist in this space? How long are we expected to live here?

3. What is known about the disappearance and reappearance of the [ the hesitation she takes before writing the next word is obviously not noticeable by the time she posts this, but boy, was it there when she wrote it-- ] "monsters" overnight?

4. Is there any public data on the mechanism of the Core at all?

[ the post sits for a few moments, and then the following is edited on. Honestly, she doesn't know what she's hoping for. The chances of any of them being here were infinitely small - quite literally, if anyone from any world and any timeline could be snatched. But where the hell would she be without hope right now, anyway? She bites her lip, invisible behind the wall of hastily-chosen words. ]

5. Is there anyone from Akihabara here?

Please answer. thx.

Believe it. Don't go outside at night unless you're prepared to handle it.

Wasn't planning on it in the first place. There's just nothing like this where I'm from.

What is your world like?

[kuritsun]

For one thing, there's no such thing as monsters. And nothing that connects world lines like this Core.

[ Well, not quite, anyway. ]

But can you still go to other worlds?

[kuritsun]

Theoretically, but our current level of technology makes it impossible.

There's no gummi blocks to build ships from, you mean?

[kuritsun]

Gummi blocks? lol wat

We have some ships composed mainly of plastic and metal composites, but they're not fast enough to travel very far into space.

Shame we can't figure out how the core works. We could maybe go between lots of worlds that way.

I'd rather just

[ wait, if she goes back home... Then she'll just disappear. Kurisu stares at the words on her screen before deleting them, waiting for that sinking feeling in her stomach to go away. ]

It should be fixed so it stops doing this.
