[Totally locked from Bob for future lulz.]

[dissonates]

I can't believe I'm doing this.

I'm Asch.

[.....Does he have to explain more?]

...Guy mentioned me the other day.

[More?]

...Don't feel obligated to talk to me just because he asked.

[Maybe that was too much.]

....I'll try to be friendly if you do, though.

[Wait that came out wrong.]

....Right.

[That should do it.]

Ah, do you hold some title which I should be using then? [...Because to her, titles are your bond to your people]

[dissonates]

No. I'm just Asch now. [He's not even fussy about his God-General title, orz.]

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Very well then. [She figures there's probably some story there, and while she is curious and a bit flabbergasted by the guy denying a title, she'll keep diplomatic. For now. The guy showed her respect so he gets it back, or something]

Can you tell me about that kingdom?

[dissonates]

[Gold star for Ruto. Prying rights are reserved for close friends, but she has potential.]

If you want to know. It makes up just under half of the world's land mass - the other kingdom, Malkuth, and two neutral territories take up the rest of it - and it's spread out over several continents and islands. There's numerous cities and villages spread out over the lands, and we travel mostly by boats and landships, fueled by fontech. ...Guy could tell you more about that, though.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

[She listens to that ans gets so many questions flying through her head, but towards the end she can't help but ping on the most odd thing he mentioned:]

A landship?

[dissonates]

Do you have vehicles in the world you're from?

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Well, Hyalians make work of carriages and wagons, but they tend to all be pulled by beasts of burden called horses.

[dissonates]

Hm. Landships are like huge hovering boats that can travel over both land and sea. There's smaller vehicles that do just one or the other, but until recently the landships were the main sources of travel for great numbers.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

It is a boat which can traverse the land? [...What] That is astounding! In truth, Hyrule is fairly land-locked so I have never personally seen a ship of any considerable size, but that must be a most impressive sight.

[dissonates]

It was a big breakthrough at the time. Nowadays fontech workers are developing airships, so someday the landships will seem less impressive.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

...I confess I am still amazed by the concept of a landship but I assume and airship can soar in the clouds?

[dissonates]

That's right.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Amazing! That's... it must be travel so quick...

[dissonates]

It's effective, even though they're still being tested.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

I... would imagine... [Ignore her she's still amazed]

[dissonates]

[Uh-huh.]

If you're that interested in fontech, you really should talk to Guy about it. He can explain everything.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

No I just... the concept of sailing in the sky is alien to me. While there are some magics which can manage something close in Hyrule they are very few and far in between.

[dissonates]

There aren't any people of the sky like there are people of the water?

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

Not that... I am familiar with. [He ignorance of Hyrule as a whole is showing, so she decides to derail this by snorting lightly, and then finishing the thought]

The tribes which I am aware of are of course my Zora, the Gorons, the Guredo, the Koriki, the all-but-vanished Sheikah, and of course the Hylians.

[dissonates]

We mostly just have normal humans on my world, though there's a population of replicas, now.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

I confess I had never even heard of the human tribe before my arrival here. However... a replica?

[dissonates]

...A copy of someone, identical in every way except memory and atomic composition.

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

That's... [She actually knows of one instance like that, but she finds it hard to consider that the same. Still, if it is even the least bit similar then...] How would such a thing come to pass?

[dissonates]

...Various reasons. [He'd rather not go into detail about that one.]

[forthezora.livejournal.com]

If there are many of them, it must make things oddly complicated.
