[Oh...oh god. Ochako is dealing with someone who is grandparents level of technologically illiterate, isn't she? There's a momentary tension of her body and Ochako feels the weighted dread start to seep into her bones. God...this is not going to be fun or easy at all. Sigh.]

Ah...haha, n-no. It's, um. It's like a phone!! So there's probably an app for the map. Here, you flip it open like this-- [She demonstrates with her own, touching the tiny button on the bottom of the Gear that makes the top flip out. Hilariously, the Gear is quite similar in design to her very outdated flip phone from back home, so Ochako at least knows how to navigate this tech a little better than a smartphone.] From here, you can make a call with the keypad, obviously, or just register people into your contacts and speed-dial them by clicking their name or ID - I can register yours and mine in there if you want to test it later - and I thiiiink this is the map?

[Ochako is tabbing over to the apps, selecting the one that looked like a, well...map, and tapping it with her finger.]

It's not too hard to figure out once you get the hang of it.

[necrodentia]

A... "fohne?" [ You didn't think it was possible to mispronounce a one syllable word, but Rainer somehow manages it. Safe to say she has no idea what a cell phone (or a telephone) is.

Still, she curiously watches as Ochako manipulates her own Gear, and does the same with her own. And, look! Oh, behold! There's a little picture of a map!!! ]

Wow, this foOoOohNe is amazing!

[ She just gets worse and worse at saying it...

Once she's opened up the map and started poking at it, it's easy enough for her to figure out how to use the buttons to scroll around the map. ]

Alright, it looks like... We're in a little town here, then there's one main road to the next settlement.

[floatsaway]

[Oh...boy. Okay. Okay, um. Clearly there's not only a technological gap here, but clearly a time gap?? Maybe???? Ochako's really not fucking sure how else to describe someone so very clearly not knowing what a phone is. Even with her outdated, pink flip phone, it was still decent in ways of communication and Ochako could play games and use apps on it. It was just a few years old, not completely obsolete in terms of technology. But Rainer has...zero knowledge of the device. Man, once she figures out what the Internet is...woof.]

Phone - it's short for telephone. You can use it to talk to people far away by dialing their number, or even taking pictures and making videos. There's actually a lot you can do with them nowadays - it's sort of like having a tiny computer with you all the time--...ah. N-Nevermind. [She won't know what that is either, p-probably.]

Anyway!! I saw that, yeah. A road going out towards the west, leading to another city, and there's also a port on the opposite end of this town that could take up out to somewhere else entirely... It looks like that path passes by a waterfall, which separates the two areas. [Ochako chews her lip. Tsuyu would probably prefer a watery place, given her quirk, but...Ochako seriously don't have money to hop a barge to head to--...wait.] Kanto?! There's an area here called Kanto?!

[necrodentia]

[ Yeah... Telephones, computers, videos... All beyond Rainer's scope of knowledge. Taking pictures, though. That, funnily enough, she gets. Thank you magic camera glasses.

Rainer is almost too absorbed in poking at the map on her Gear to notice the surprise in Ochako's voice, but it does eventually register. ]

Kanto... Is that a place you recognize? Maybe we're not as far off from your plane as we thought.

[floatsaway]

I-It is...yeah. It's actually a part of the region of Japan that I'm originally from. [Kansai is pretty much around the general area of Kanto, actually. Not entirely, but pretty close. Her brows furrow and Ochako shares her head. This is just bizarre. There's no way this is the same place - maybe the names are similar, sure, but--]

I don't think it's the same place. The geography is completely different. And just looking at it on the map...it's all wrong. It's more like a country itself than just a part of one, like the Kanto I know. Mmh...maybe I should get an aerial view of this place once we're out of the town proper...

[necrodentia]

Oh... Huh. That's weird. [ She hums thoughtfully, wondering if any of the places here will share a name with something from her world. ] Must be one of those weird little coincidences!

[ Getting an aerial view would be helpful, though, now that she mentions it. Since they're headed in the same direction, Rainer nods her head towards the road leading out of town and starts wheeling that way, trusting Ochako will follow. ]

Oh, can you cast Fly on yourself? That would be great, to get a good look around.

[floatsaway]

[A coincidence? Maybe... But it seems too convenient to be a coincidence. Maybe this was something done by a super powerful quirk? A mutation of some sort? Maybe they were sent back in time, and something somehow altered the animals she usually knows? So many questions and theories bounce around in Ochako's head, making her furrow her short brows in thought as she plucks through what she knows now - not much at all - and then lifts her head up when Rainder speaks again.]

Eh? O-Oh, no, um... it's not flight, exactly. I can make things and people float when I touch them. That's my quirk - Zero Gravity! Mm...it's going to be hard to land and move without my costume, but if I can at least get to a tree, I should be able to at least lower myself into in and then climb down a bit...slowly.
