Hello? I think I'm doing this right. Although I'm not really sure that I believe that other people will really be able to read what I'm writing as if by magic. (Is it really not magic? Because I just don't see how that can work.) And it seems like a very complicated way to try and talk to people. It's like someone's tried purposefully tried to make them so that they require as many complicated and nonsensical actions as possible.

I should introduce myself, shouldn't I? I'm Merlin. This is very odd, introducing yourself to people you can't see. Don't any of you find this weird? I think it's weird. Almost as weird as everything else in this place. I'm beginning to think that there isn't anything at all here that's normal. Do you know that I've already had a girl with pink hair make it rain chocolate milk on me? I didn't even think you could have milk that was chocolate, let alone making it rain.

I can't think of anything else to write now. What are you meant to do when you finish one of these? Do you just sign your name like a letter? I hope I'm not doing this wrong.

From,

Merlin

[And this is all he says. Way to go Neku!]

See, I knew I couldn't be the only one. Aren't you going to sign your name though? How else am I supposed to be able to tell who you are?

If I don't put my name down though, how will people know that I'm the one who's talking?

Hello! Nice to meet you too, Lea. And yes, I am new. I haven't even been here a week yet. Have you been here a while?

From,

Merlin

Hi Merlin! I'm Rapunzel!

...It rained chocolate milk? Wow! [Because...clearly this is the most important. Or not.]

Uh, oh! If you're new, did you...have any questions?

[nevergetscredit]

Hi Rapunzel!

And yes. Yes it did rain chocolate milk. I still don't know how, but it definitely did. (If you meet a girl with pink hair, you might want to be careful about that).

Well, the big question right now would be, 'how do I get home?', but I get the feeling no one here has an answer to that one.

[seethelanterns]

I see. I'll keep that in mind then. Though it is pretty amazing! I guess it's a sort of magic or something!

As for getting back home....it seems random, it happens every now and then. Sometimes people come back remembering more, others don't recall being here before at all. It's....complicated. But, there is no guaranteed way to get back. At least that I know of.

I'm not retarded! And at least I'm not the one who's an ass.

And why is your writing all blue?

[magiccaster.livejournal.com]

It's not magic at all, but I guess it can seem that way. Someone spilled chocolate milk on you, though? I'm sorry to hear that!

It's nice to meet you, though, Merlin! I'm MOMO.

[nevergetscredit]

No, they didn't spill any. They just made a loud appear inside and then rain it on me.

Nice to meet you too - why do you write your name like that?

[magiccaster.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see! That's a little weird, then.

Well... it's actually short for Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus... but 'MOMO' is what Daddy called me.

Signing your name works best I think.

And for me, the BBS system is a little strange, I'm more used to den den mushi which are a direct one person to another line of voice communication. You get used to the BBS quickly though.

So I can just put 'Merlin' all it it's own then?

What's 'den den mushi'? Is that something to do with computers too?

[fierybluebird]

Yes.

Den den mushi are psychic snails. With a little bit of machinery, people use them to send audible messages.

[bunnypassingby]

You're doing it fine! :) It is pretty complicated; it's a lot simpler when I'm from. You kind of get used to the technology (not magic) and the weirdness here after a while.

[nevergetscredit]

Do you have computers where you're from too?

I almost wish my uncle Gaius were here. He'd love to see all these things done without any magic.

[bunnypassingby]

Yes, a lot more advanced than the ones here. It makes me wish my old history teacher could see this!

What's magic like on your world? Is it used widely? [Or so she's guessing, judging from the mentions of it instead of machinery.]

- Mikuru

[batmansphoenix.livejournal.com]

Yeah... it's totally not magic. Ever heard of electricity?

- Instructor Jason Todd

[nevergetscredit]

Like in lightning? What does that have to do with these?

[rebellingheart]

I think you're doing just fine. Computers can be really tricky even for people from this world. So don't worry about it so much, I'm sure you'll get the hang of everything soon enough!

My name's Rinoa, it's nice to meet you Merlin. I take it you're new to this school? If you ever need any help, just let me know. Since I graduated I've had a lot more time on my hands.

Chocolate milk is really good! I think you just mix milk with some chocolate and there you go. I've never actually tried making it before, but I might have to try sometime.

[nevergetscredit]

Yes, I'm new. Hardly been here a week, actually. I don't know if I'll ever get the hang of all this though.

That at least makes more sense then having it rain from the sky. While inside. I'm not sure I could trust chocolate milk that came from a raincloud.
