[Excuse the shaky view as Sasha sets the gear up on the floor in front of her, giving the public as large a view of her sitting on the floor by her bed cross-legged. She rubs at her nose a few times, glancing off screen anxiously before she turns back to the 'gear and addresses the public at large.]

How do you make friends? [A pause.] I mean, real people friends, not Pokemon friends.

[Which makes this post a whole lot more pathetic. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!]

Like I don't know a lot of stuff because where I'm from we don't even have lights or water on the inside or schools or those car things. Just horses. And mountains. And lots of trees. So a lot of the stuff people talk about here, I never heard of and...

[...she feels too stupid, too much of a hick to bond over familiar things. Growing up people laughed at her for being so backwoods. That's something one doesn't shake off easily.]

But I want friends even though I don't know stuff. I don't mind learning! I... just don't want people to laugh at me about it.

....Well I'm from the same world my sister is. So I know all the same stuff....kinda. But ....I'm not that great at making friends either. Talking to people is hard, and it makes me nervous, unless I'm excited about something and most people weren't interested in the sort of stuff I was interested in.

[Trying to explain to someone about how no, really bigfoot could be real. Tends to get you made fun of.]

But I mean, you don't have to have a lot of friends, you just have to find one or two people who are cool about stuff and aren't jerks. I bet you can find people like that here.

I mean you got along really well with Mabel. And most people here don't seem to mind explaining the stuff from this world. I don't think they'd mind answering other sorts of questions.
