[asymbiotic]

Hello, um, I should probably introduce myself. My family name is Kokonose, my given name is Chuuta, and I just arrived here. [He's a little bit rambling right now but this whole communicator thing is kind of weird and he's still getting used to it.]

I'm a college student, but I work in the restaurant industry and have a lot of other cooking and baking experience. So I'll be cooking here, and if anyone would like me to cook for them please let me know. I don't want anyone else to feel like they have to eat raw potatoes because they don't have any options.

If there's anything important I need to know about kitchen routines and rules please let me know, I don't want to inconvenience anyone. [the last thing he wants to do is cause any problems but it's probably inevitable.]

The only other things I'm any good at are sewing and housekeeping, so please let me know if you need any help with that.

[That raw potato shade.............. Kazuma feels it.]

Thank you, Kokonose-san. May I ask what year you are from? I have some questions myself about using the kitchen.

[Which is to say, he is from the year 1900 and has no idea how to use a modern stove or microwave and is reluctant to admit it.]

[asymbiotic]

It's 2018. If you need help with the appliances, just let me know! I think I can figure most of it out.

[karumic]

[..................His soul has left his body. That certainly explains why all the technology is almost unrecognizable.]

I'm afraid to say I would need help with most of it. [And admitting that feels like pulling teeth. He just hates not knowing things.] Would you be willing to show me how everything works in person sometime? I'd prefer to be able to cook for myself rather than trouble someone else.

[asymbiotic]

Of course! I can't promise I know how everything works, but it all seems pretty close to what I'm used to.

Are you from the past too? I've met a couple people from the past already.

[karumic]

["From the past"... something about being talked about like he's a relic makes him uncomfortable.]

I wouldn't have put it that way, but from your perspective I suppose it's true. Before I came to the station it was the year 1900.

[asymbiotic]

Oh, you too? There are a lot of people from then.

[karumic]

[Oh, that's interesting. Kazuma's only met the two people he already knows, but if there are others... at least they'd have something to commiserate about.]

Are there? Who else have you met? Two of my compatriots are here as well, but I would like to meet others who have a similar... well, level of understanding.

[asymbiotic]

Oh, I was probably thinking of them. [Three people from 1900 what are the odds they know each other? Pretty darn high apparently.]

But I also met someone from a thousand years ago.

[karumic]

A thousand?!

[And here he was feeling out of place being a couple of hundred years out of date. Trying to imagine what technology might look like in 2900 is making him feel a little dizzy.]

And how have they been... adjusting?

[asymbiotic]

I think he's done well. He's better than me at using these communicators.
