I have a question for people who've been here long enough to travel around or have been traveling, maybe something to think about after all the Braviary craziness we just had a week or so ago:

Is there anything here that reminds you of home? Forests, cities, beaches, anything. Even the food.

Ilex Forest reminds me a little of Miyagi, and the trees around Sendai. So do the buildings, they're a lot like the ones you'd see around Japan. A lot of the food too, now that I think about it.

[In not so many words, Tooru's homesick, but he refuses to admit to that. It's also why he's typing it out instead of enthusiastically choosing video or voice. Besides, he is just a bit curious about the other worlds after Corrin told him about Hoshido.]

In all honesty, it is not something so specific as what you mentioned, but the unspecific that reminds me of the home I left behind. Much of this reality feels as though it was conctructed from the barest echo of a memory of what my people valued.

The peaceful nature of it all, the unity, not to mention the fanaticism over these creatures. It is all similar, yet dissimilar. Enough to inspire the vaguest traces of nostalgia, yet never enough to truly feel like home.

With the mention of Japan, would it be remiss of me to assume you are from Earth?

Y'know already that I'm fine w/ spoils, IF Emet does answer that

I'm from Earth, yeah. I take it you're not.

That place you come from, you said it's similar yet not. What's it like? Sounds like an interesting place if it's both similar and not to make you feel like that.

It has always been rather curious to me that so many come from some version of Earth, as opposed to other worlds in their singular iterations.

As for my world, I would liken it to a paradise, where war and strife were more concepts for a good story, than a reality lived. We were a people driven and united by our curiosity and creativity, our love of knowledge, our desire to make the planet better than when we took our first steps upon it. To leave it ready for new generations embarking upon their journey into this life, so that they might continue this work, this ideal.

We were artists, philosophers, scientists, and we so loved our world and our creations. The creatures that filled our star were of our own make, and much as there are those here who find their own pointed fixations on certain Pokémon, so too were there popular concepts among our people.

A rather large difference betwixt this world and mine, however, is that magic was not limited to the creatures. All were possessed of such fantastical ability, though to limited and varied degrees depending upon the individual, of course.

Guess that just means that there's more Earths out there no one's seen yet. Weird that they're all called Earth though, you'd think they'd have a different name.

I'd call that a paradise for sure though. Sounds like a place that could happen if people stopped trying to fight each other and agreed to get along. A place where you have all that, I'm a little jealous.

And you had magic too? Guessing that's what you used to, if I'm reading this right, create those creatures too.
