...Snow? Why is there snow? I thought-

Teito? Teito! What happened...?

[Mikage's in the forest south of the village, somewhat close to the lake. He is both a) thoroughly confused, and b) damn cold. Some assistance would be appreciated!]

I suppose. The only problem is that I can't get new songs here.

Can't you make them up yourself?

Well, I'm a machine after all. Though I can learn the lyrics and melody on my own, my voice... Works in a different matter, I need to have the settings for the voice uploaded separately. So even if I know the lyrics and melody my voice won't come out on its own.

Oh... [That's really sad, :c] So nobody knows how to give you the songs here?

Some may know, and it's not really that difficult to learn. But another machine is needed and that one can't be found anywhere here, technology is scarce in Luceti.

Oh... I'm sorry, then. [And now he feels bad for asking. Do not make the cute robot sad, Mikage!]

Ah- but I never introduced myself! I'm Mikage- what's your name?

Oh, that's right. Excuse my manners, please. I'm Luka Megurine, nice to meet you Mr. Mikage!

Where are you from?

It probably isn't a world you're familiar with, but I come from the First District of the Barsburg Empire.

That sounds pretty impresive for a name.

[And because it's one of the first things one wonders upon hearing numbers in a name...]

How many districts are there?

It can be a pretty incredible place, yeah. Though it's kinda dangerous, too.

There's 7 districts in Barsburg!

Then it's a pretty big place, isn't it?

What do you mean with dangerous? Are there monsters?

Yeah, it is! And there's a ton of people, too.

I don't think there are monsters- well, none besides the kor, I guess. But people can be dangerous, too.

But that would make it just as dangerous as any other place with people, wouldn't it? That would make it normal, not dangerous.

Well, some places are more dangerous than others. Like the first district is more dangerous and the church in the seventh, since the bishops protect everyone.

Aaah... The bishops protect people? With faith and such?

That, and they have really impressive powers! They purify people so they won't become monsters.

... Bishops certainly are different than how they are in my world...

They don't do anything like that where you're from, really?

Well, they do talk about faith and God. Carry around "God's word" and such, but they don't have any real powers and the purification rituals are mostly drop blessed water over the person or thing they want to purify. Faith helps many humans to go on in their lives but I wouldn't say that bishops protect people.

That's what the police does, or the firemen.

Huh... well, we have the military for that, too! Protecting people, I mean. And we have normal guards for the cities and all. But they only protect our bodies- the bishops protect our spirits from corruption.

Well, the bishops of my world do that too, I suppose but it's... Something up to debate as there aren't really proofs of them being really capable of doing that. And then there's the fact that bishops only attend those of their same faith and some even condemn the others...

Faith is something pretty confusing and senseless. Specially since there are not even the smallest proofs of it working. At least in my world, I wouldn't say it's the same in other worlds. Technology and science differ from world to world, some have a high advanced one, others lack it completely, but faith is something you can find everywhere apparently.

Huh? You mean there's more than one God for your world?

People's faith has changed during the world's history. In the ancient past people had faith in several Gods at once, each God dedicated to something: the sun, the moon, the harvest, the house, the wine... There was a pantheon of Gods per each country basically, though back then there weren't many countries it was all mostly tribes. As time went on faith changed to be more communal, and now there aren't many different faiths, but there is not an only absolute one.

And there are places where faith is banned.
