[It feels like she's been locked in that research room forever. Almost worse than legislative paperwork, turning five small piles of books about various worlds into something that might be useful. Synthesizing data, in a way that felt adventurously real at first before the familiar tedium of it all set in again. And there was more, left undone. There was always more.

Regardless, it will be a while before she attempts another mission. Even one that seems suited to her set of skills. Unlike so many others who go away on missions, Nephry walks herself toward home without difficulty. Thinking to surprise most of her housemates, she stops at the flower shop for something decorative and colorful. Anything to erase the lines of letters from behind her closed eyelids.

Once she does get home, however, there are some orders of business to address.]


Those of you who name your home as a planet called 'Earth': are you aware of just how many different worlds there are that share that name? That share most of a history, often an entire history save for one significant event? It was quite interesting. [Dull hours of reading aside.] Even more interesting that it doesn't seem to be true of most if not all of the other worlds represented here - there is only one Auldrant, for example.

[And now, the heavier news.]

When I returned a short while ago, I...I found Anise's room empty. It appears she has gone home.

Perhaps worlds where the planet is known as "Earth" tend to be more closely attuned to this world? Considering many of the holidays the Malnosso celebrate seem similar to some of those from at least my planet, it wouldn't be a stretch to guess that they come from one as well.
neverplaysfair: (That was a nice distraction.)

[voice] SHE IS THE MOST THRILLED but I feel awkward having characters react happily to a drop...

Intentionally picking the holidays of the dominant planet, you mean?

... I will admit I'm not the best expert on Western Christmas traditions, but I'm rather certain being harassed by tiny elves was never a part of it. And I certainly didn't enjoy that.

[ Just saying, the Malnosso seem to sometimes miss the mark of what's "enjoyable" ]

Still, if their goal was to help us enjoy our holidays, overall I think they're doing a rather poor job.

That aside, I'd say it's much more likely that other planets simply don't have many versions of worlds that this one has a tendency to draw from. It would make more sense than them simply not existing at all.

Of course. If I didn't wonder why, I wouldn't have bothered to come up with a theory attempting to explain it.
