[ Amidst the impressive technological marvels and distractions present on the ship, Johnny found it impossible to resist the allure of commandeering the network for a brief moment. While he's no deckhead or with a fancy BD strapped to his head, Johnny at least knows how to work a camera. This is why everyone is getting a good view of the scowling rockerboy as he puffs smoke directly into the camera.

Yeah, he's smoking again already. Don't ask how he got his hands on another e-cigarette. It probably involved a five-finger discount and a lot of schmoozing. Despite being such a complete asshole, Johnny is at least charming.

He's a charming little parasite. ]

Okay, chucklefucks. [ He mutters before taking another drag on his cigarette. Smoke billows from his nose as he exhales, resembling an angry demon/oni graphic on his tank top. ] Let's have a little talk.

Where the fuck are all of you from? Half of y'all look like your average Joe, while others look like wannabe supermodels who just walked off a Jinguji photoshoot.

[ Johnny lets out a chuckle as he brushes some ash off his cigarette. ]

So, who wants to go first? State your name and where the hell you're from.

Why, thank you for the compliment. You're the first.

[ More like second with Izaya up there glazing him, but who's counting? ]

So, Yi—what's Penglai like? I take it to be very similar to Earth, my world.

[rebelsamurai]

Hey, Nia! Thanks for droppin' by.

I can't say I ever heard of Ruetama before, but color me intrigued. What's the Dark Sentencer? That sounds like a killer band name.

[sisterspider]

I guess it's sort of a backwater, as planets go. The Five Houses thought so, anyway.

The Dark Sentencer is--or maybe it should be was--a prison planet. Hope that doesn't ruffle any feathers, I'm not likely to reprise what put me in there!

[rebelsamurai]

A prison planet!? Holy shit! Those actually exist?

By "was," do you mean the entire prison planet is gone now? Like it exploded or something?

[sisterspider]

They do where I'm from. If they don't exist where you come from? Be thankful. It sucks pretty hard.

And yeah. I don't think it exploded--I was paying more attention to getting the hell away when I left, but if it didn't blow up, all that was going to be left was a husk anyway--it was being mined out for its core energy.

[rebelsamurai]

Choom, that gotta be the lamest joke I've ever heard.

[ But he still won a snicker from Johnny. ]

Okay, Mister Funny Guy, where the fuck are you from?

[solless]

Did you create it yourself?

( the apemen (read: humans) that yi is familiar with were primitive, but by this point he knows it was because of the situation that solarians (read: yi) had put them in. considering how brilliant shuanshuan had been, he's not at all surprised they could have developed such technology, had they not been meddled with by his own people. )

"Earth"... Is that what humans ended up calling it, then?

( if they had had language to name their own planet with when the solarians had arrived, they hadn't cared to learn it. )

They share similarities, yes.
Penglai is also dominated by vast oceans. More so than Earth, actually.
What little land it has is not particularly arable. My people had to develop techniques and technologies to farm it effectively.
I am curious. How would you describe Earth, in your own time?

[ izaya is still cackling at his awful pun ]

tokyo and we don't have any place that sounds like your city soooo probably a different earth
