[ Madoka's voice comes over the journal singing!! ]

Happy birthday to me~! Happy birthday to me~!

Happy birthday [ ........ nope too shy to go on. She cuts herself off with giggles at and is almost audibly covering her face. She still sounds pretty pleased though; ] Ah, never mind, forget that! It's too embarrassing!

But, back when everyone was still at Isla Empieza, did anyone see somewhere that might have cake? Just a small one would be fine...

Den den mushi... they are these little psychic snails that telepathically communicate with each other. With enough machinery they can also be used by people to cast transmissions over long distances.

Like the book... but with a snail.

Most of them only send faxes or audio, but a few send video.

[ w...... what........ Her response takes a minute..... and sounds really unsure.... ]

I see.

I take it your world doesn't have them?

[Even Marco is beginning to suspect his world might be a little weird by other people's standards.]

We have machines that do that. They use electricity instead of any, um, telepathy.

That sounds kind of boring. What do you do for mail? We have seagulls in my world.

Eh? Just regular cars and people deliver mail. And if needs to go far it goes on airplanes and stuff, I think.

Sorry, you've lost me again.

Cars? Airplanes?

In this case, the easiest way to explain it would be like ships for on land or in the air. They have their own power source that moves them automatically and a driver or a pilot would steer them like a ship's captain.

Ships... on land.

[GURL you so crazy.]

[Wait a thought.] Like bicycles? But what is their power source?

Um... Electricity? They have engines that power them, so if it were like a bicycle, there's basically a machine that pedals for you.

So they have batteries?

... I don't understand your world at all.

--Ah, but yes. They have batteries.

[You and everyone else, Madoka. He hasn't even mentioned the giant laser-shooting robots yet.]

That's creative. I wonder why the differences. Mah, then again, I haven't sailed all the islands yet, so I guess there could be an island with things like that.

In my world that sort of technology is all across the world. Well - I know there are some cultures that haven't picked up that sort of thing, but still, I would say it's more common than not.

I guess because most islands you can't get anywhere without sailing, yoi.

It sounds like a really interesting world. I wish I could see it.

[He thinks about it a little and grins.] Do you like this world so far?

I don't think I've seen enough of it yet, but there are things I like, so far.

Then that might go for my world too.

But my world is a lot harsher than what I've seen of this place so far.

My brother punched a royal and they sent out the navy and the royal's personal guards. Back in my world, the response would have been instantaneous and lethal. I miss my other brothers, but my world is a rougher place. It's kind of nice and freeing here, eh.

That's true... It seems as though people here may be rude, but they aren't needlessly cruel. They're all bark and no bite, but that's a good thing.

Eh, most weak pirates are. They'll only bite what they can chew and go running if you give them a strong enough kick.

It's just finding out what a strong enough kick is that makes it tricky.

Ehh...

Well, I'm glad. I'd rather deal with someone who talks a little rough than someone who actually wants to fight.

Aye, it's just annoying, but at least it doesn't hurt. It makes me worry where the strong ones are though, eh.

Maybe they're just avoiding conflict.

[Sidelong grin, though it isn't visible, or even verbal in this case.]

That's what has me worried.
