Log;

Emerging from the subway station, Rita pulled her goggles over her eyes to shield them from the pouring rain. She didn't care too much about the weather, though it was still surprising to see so many people out and about, even in such a huge city as this one. Good thing they've got these transportation routes. They're so handy. Her destination wasn't far anymore, so she hurried her way through the downpour, giving any people she encountered a wide berth--half of the citizens she'd run into were acting downright weird that day and Rita wanted absolutely nothing to do with it.

Getting closer now, she pressed a few buttons on her communication device to connect to the network. "Hey, Konata?" she nearly shouted into the speaker to make sure she could be heard over the hammering of water and bustle of people. "I'm coming over now! Let me in, will you?"

She did so, and looked over the machine with only mild interest. "This doesn't look so difficult to figure out...what do all of these run off of, anyway? You said your technology at home was like this, but I'm assuming you don't have aer or mana as a fuel."

Konata put in detergent and started the washer. "Everything here runs on electricity. You know, lightning power? Sustained, low-level lightning. It runs through metal cables in the walls to every house and shop."

Now that was interesting--power from lightning, electricity. The gears in Rita's brain started turning as she tried to work out how it was done. Simply standing there in silence, she was in her own little world for several moments before she jerked out of it and remembered Konata was there. "Electricity, huh...Obviously it doesn't come from actual lightning--uh, it can't, right? So there has to be another source around somewhere."

"Yeah, it comes from, uh... magnets, I guess. I dunno, it's kind of hard to explain -- maybe someone else would know better." Now that she thought of it, Konata wasn't really sure how it worked either.

"Anyway, video games also run on electricity. That's what you're here for, right? Let's get started."

sorry for lateness T_T

"It does?" That sounded a little strange. Whatever, Rita wasn't about to press her for details. She'd almost forgotten about the entire reason she'd come in the first place.

"All right. So, uh...what do I do?"
