Hey guys, can you hear me?

[YoRHa unit 9S, forever uncertain as to whether he's thinking at people properly]

I just wanted to let you know that 2B and I are doing renovations on that old house on the western side of the island. At the moment there's no water or electricity so it's probably not the most hospitable for humans...

But once it's in working order, this'll give us an outpost in this area.

Also we were discussing some hands-free lights for working in the dark. Devices like that would come in handy, right? Are there any other types of equipment you could use? Seems like during our downtime, that's something to work on. Maybe we can also establish what resources we've got at our disposal, too. We're a team and all, right?

[Now that they're not dealing with invading hostiles, it seems to him it's time to put his technical skills to work]

[ooc: Feel free to thread-hop/jack, let's get geared up]

[deem]

I think I can sort of understand that...

[It still, in a strange way, makes him think of the Bunker]

Although I've never heard of water coming in colors like that.

[lalliho]

[Ah...]

Not really colorful. Like...lights and reflections. And feeling.

[deem]

It sounds like it'd be nice to see.

[Not that there isn't water everywhere, but to see it in such a way must really be something]

[lalliho]

[..............like is this a hint, or]

Um. Should I think brain pictures at you?

[deem]

...Should you?

[He repeats curiously. Guess who easily forgets about this, despite having had gun images transmitted to him just minutes ago]

You uh. Can if you want, but you don't have to.

[lalliho]

[It's a simple enough task, with images of nature always clear in his mind -- he's more a child of the forest than of his people, at times. 9S will be treated to a few mental instances of water being...water, but at the same time almost vibrant with the life of not only the surrounding nature, but of itself. For a state of matter, the impression Lalli's thoughts give along with it is that it is indeed alive in a way. It has a spirit.

Nature!!!!]

[deem]

So it's like that where you're from?

[There's an awe that carries on that thought, in those words]

That really is pretty.

[lalliho]

Not everywhere. Some places are really gross, and I guess there are big cities and stuff in the other countries? Keuruu is a big military base, but it's not like that at all.

[deem]

The place I come from's not really anything like that, but then, there's more ruins than anything.

[lalliho]

[He sends over another wordless example, but this time the feeling accompanying it is more like "?????"]

[deem]

I've seen structures sort of like that...

[And this time, he tries transmitting something in return]

[lalliho]

[aaaa yeah, look at that. It's just familiar enough that Lalli doesn't have a problem believing some parts of the Silent World looked as sleek and concrete as that.]

…Did an Illness make it like that?

[deem]

An Illness? I'm not familiar with the way you're using the word.

But that's what remains of the Old World.

[And now, the current state of affairs]

[lalliho]

[Hmmn. Could it be a translation thing? Old World is certainly the right terminology, so...]

What destroyed the Old World for your...world?

[deem]

A disease affected the population, though they didn't call it "Illness". And after that there was a war.

Well, still is a war, last I'm aware of.
