How many of you are unfamiliar with modern technology?

I haven't failed to notice that there's a substantial population who are either from universes or time periods that don't have objects like motor vehicles. I wonder if this mission is meant to be an added challenge.

Comments

[ingestion]

that sounds rough...

( she doesn't want to ask how that was possible, because she had grown up in a similar situation a life or two ago, but she is a bit curious. )

I guess this place must be a bit tough for you, although you are using the network without issues? Fast learner?

[messenger]

I was taught how to use a cell phone before coming here. It's not that much different.

Speech to Text is very helpful.

[ingestion]

that's good I guess.

are you excited for this mission then? sounds like it might be a challenge for you.

[messenger]

No. I'm not.

But my friend is. He likes cars.

[ingestion]

not that I'm trying to be nosy or anything, but is this a friend from your world?

[messenger]

Yes. He is.

[ingestion]

you know, your answers only raise more questions.

last ones, promise. was he also sheltered to technology? or was he the one who taught you how to use a phone?

[messenger]

They do?

My circumstances are... unique. He's human. I'm not. But, yes, he's taught me about a lot of things.

[ingestion]

( heather was trying to be chill and just be cool about all of this but there he went again-

making her even more curious and intrigued by him. )

I mean...

you just told me you aren't human. am I not suppose to be curious about that?

[messenger]

I'm an angel.

[ he expects he's going to get asked this question a lot. but why should he mind answering? ]

[ingestion]

with wings?

or...does angel mean something else in your world?

( it's not that she doesn't believe him, but things seemed different to people depending on where they came from. )

[messenger]

Yes.

Though it still could mean something else. So far I've found no two worlds appear to be exactly alike.

[ingestion]

you make a valid point.

but you also just keep making me more curious about you. I guess I'll stop for now. I hope for everyone's sake, there aren't too many people here unaware of all the modern stuff this place has.

[messenger]

Curiosity is no sin.

We would have to ask everyone if we were to know.

[ingestion]

well at least so far it seems like you're a nice angel...

I hope they answer you themselves, so you don't have to ask everyone individually.

[messenger]

Have you met many angels?

[ it's true, he would prefer not to have to. maybe he could ask aurora instead. ]

[ingestion]

no but supernatural things like that and I don't get along too well...

( is she going to elaborate? perhaps, if he truly is curious. )

[messenger]

[ honestly? fair. most supernatural things aren't angels. and even angels are... ]

How often have you had encounters with the supernatural?

[ingestion]

( it's a bit difficult to admit such things to a stranger, let alone over text, so she'll keep things simple. )

far too many.

I'm sure being an angel is far more interesting though. do you have wings?

[messenger]

[ human lives are very interesting to him, but he's not the type to pry. at least, not int he traditional way. he might slip into someone's mind if they were to meet face to face... ]

Yes.
