The recent discoveries of unusual techhnology within ruins in the segments around Nightwake have me curious to know in how many worlds represented here such things might be commonplace.

It is not unusual in my home nation of Sumeru, for example, to find technology that seems advanced compared to what we have now - relics of lost and almost forgotten ancient civilisations, particularly in the desert regions. This technology is often dangerous for the unprepared to tamper with, including traps and mechanical guardians that attack indiscriminately when disturbed.

As such, it was not a surprise to me to find similar things here.

Can anyone else say the same? I would be interested to hear your experiences.

[The screen focuses on a slim, pale man with light green hair and golden eyes. There is a white snake wrapped around his neck, peering at the camera with a similar intensity to the man himself as he ensures that he has set the thing up correctly.

When he realises that he has, his expression clears and settles into a mild, warm smile.

Ah, there we are.

[His voice is soft, faintly lilted almost as if he's always on the edge of gently chastising someone, but he keeps it pleasant as he speaks.]

My name is Baizhu, a doctor, pharmacist and herbalist from the country of Liyue in Teyvat. I find myself brought into this curious situation with the rest of you, and thought it only polite to offer an introduction along with an offer of my services.

[He pauses, thinking for a moment.]

... Though the advancements of this world when compared to my own may render a good amount of my medical expertise entirely outdated, I believe that some here may still find more comfort in turning to it than relying on more unfamiliar methods.

[Another brief pause, the snake on his shoulders flicks out her tongue, and he smiles again.]

To that end, I would be curious to meet other individuals who have experience in the medical field. I can hardly miss the opportunity to develop my own studies further with the potential of knowledge from other worlds. Please feel free to contact me at your leisure if you're interested.

Something that's on my mind right now is how one goes about choosing a username. Of course I've chosen one and so has everyone else, but simple observation can't always tell you why someone chose something or what it means. A significant chunk of the population appears to be using their own names and that at least is self-evident - it's their name so of course they'd want to use it! This doesn't account for people who may be using aliases in order to mislead others, which is always a possibility. But the ones that are of more interest and that take more thought are the names that aren't just names. Little phrases or words mashed together...why were those things significant to that person? I can't help but wonder about it.

While observation can absolutely give you a window into someone else's point of view it can never be as good a view as the one you can get simply by knocking on the front door and asking. So I really do want to ask. But is that sort of knowledge something to be given freely? Maybe some of it is private, but also there could be a more fun way to learn than just asking, right?

If you'd like to volunteer the information, please do so. Otherwise...would anyone like to play a game with me? I know there's several going on right now from looking but I don't mind if it's just a few people. I'm just in the mood for something a little more involved than telling a lie and hiding it in the underbrush of truth.

Recently some students were passing by playing a game they called 20 questions. The concept is fascinatingly simple but can get complex depending on how devious your opponent is. You have to think of an object and your partner can only ask yes or no questions to discover what it is. Given our different points of origin, however, we should refine what could count as an object, no?

So, for the purposes of this game please consider the "object" to be "the reason you chose your username and the true meaning of it" or "an animal found in this world". If you're unsure if an animal exists here, there seem to be lists of them at the Guilds alongside our potential powers as creatures we may eventually be able to transform into, as well as an available bestiary. Just specify if you're thinking of your username or an animal. Then players (possibly just me) will ask you questions that can only be answered with "yes" or "no"...if they go over 20, they lose. Apparently the consequences for losing can be quite dramatic among the student body but that seems a bit much to me. Instead I'll tell you something interesting if you win or I lose, okay?

And of course you're free to guess the meaning of my own username using the question framework. That said, those of you who know the true meaning behind it already are obligated to assume I'm thinking of an animal instead. In those circumstances I'm going to include animals from back home, too.

As I said you're free to play with one another, too, but I mostly just wanted to try it out myself. For some reason the students were too nervous to play with me...but you wouldn't mind doing just one round, right? Even just one person would be okay.

Helloooooooooo, fellow time-displaced/world-displaced comrades! Let's break in this little network of ours, shall we?

My name is Kokichi Oma. I'm also known as the Ultimate Supreme Leader, buuuuuut you can just call me Kokichi. 19/M, originally from Japan, but I was in a little place called Trench before this. That place kinda sucked, so this is more or less a new start.

Let's go ahead and toss out some intros since we're all here now! Feel free to introduce yourself, and for flavor, include a few fun facts....and to liven things up, I've tossed in a surprise!

HOT OR NOT ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, 1 IS NOT, 10 IS HOT!

After all, we're supposed to be building connections here, riiiiight?



Here is yours truly. I wanna see some real big 10 outta 10s, 'kaaaaaay?

Let's! GO!!!
