"You did?"

[uncutetomboy]

Akane nods. "I found G-kun there," she explains. "He's my ghost-punching robot."

Which she really needs, because Akane? Is absolutely terrified of ghosts.

(Technically G-kun is also ghost-type, but she's in fervent denial of it.)

[fearinahandfulof]

"Ghost-punching... robot?"

And today in Terms Cassandra Has Never Heard Before...

[uncutetomboy]

"He's a robot pokemon," Akane explains. "And he can punch ghosts. Which I can't." Because humans count as 'normal' for these purposes, evidently.

[fearinahandfulof]

That doesn't clear anything up at all. "What's a robot?"

[uncutetomboy]

... oh no. How do you explain what a robot is to a person who doesn't know?

"Um. A kind of mechanical person? Sort of?"

[fearinahandfulof]

"Mechanical?" Cassandra frowns slightly. "Like the PokeGear?" That's mechanical, right?

[uncutetomboy]

"Sort of? Bigger. And I think he's got gears and the pokegear doesn't. Even though it's called a gear. It has... computer bits."

[fearinahandfulof]

That... doesn't help at all... "Gears?"

[uncutetomboy]

How do you explain gears to someone who doesn't know about them?

"They're the little things that make clocks work. Um. Metal circles with teeth?"

[fearinahandfulof]

It still doesn't sound familiar, but that might just be her memory; a place like the Holy City may very well have had mechanical clocks and Cassandra just didn't know. "Oh."

[uncutetomboy]

"I guess they might not have clocks where you come from," Akane says. "Are you from the past? I mean-- from before there's stuff like... electricity. Running water."

[fearinahandfulof]

"The... past, yes." At least, she thinks this might be the future. Or a future? There don't seem to be any yoma or Awakened Beings here, but it could just be that they're in a different place altogether. She wishes she could still sense yoma energy; that would be helpful right now, if only to confirm that there isn't anyone with yoma energy here to read.

[uncutetomboy]

"Right," Akane says. "A lot of this stuff seems pretty futuristic to me and we had those things. It must be even more unbelievable to you."

[fearinahandfulof]

Cassandra just nods. All of this is unbelievable to her.

[uncutetomboy]

"Anyway," Akane says awkwardly. "Do you have any questions about the Ruins?"

[fearinahandfulof]

Cassandra's not even sure where to begin. "A lot?"

[uncutetomboy]

"So, uh, shoot?"

[fearinahandfulof]

Cassandra is quiet for a long moment. Then she sighs. "I'm...not good at this sort of thing."

[uncutetomboy]

"I'm sorry," Akane says awkwardly.

[fearinahandfulof]

Cassandra blinks. "Why?"
