[ said with a half-smile. baku's fun. skimming through the gallery of pictures he downloaded, he's pulling up a few others. ]
Yeah, that's what I've been getting from everyone else here. This is Shiloh, the capital. [ tada ] And this is Unity Hall, the capital building where the King and his ministers would meet. [ bam, followed up with this one. ] Council room. And, my darling family. [ there's a look at this photo that shows he's clearly not a fan of it. ] We all look like tools.

[she takes in each picture quietly, head tilted as she takes in all those little details one would miss the first time seeing it. Shiloh was the first city she'd seen that didn't belong to Earth, and it was completely fascinating. She always expected them to look different, and while Shiloh did, it still could pass for any other city on Earth. It was fascinating]
I don't think you look like tools. Too serious, though.

[ it is very similar. all the technology, the architecture, the civic methodolgy is the same. it's the people who are different. the rules. the wars as well. a few other pictures are pulled up (ooc: pretend the people in them aren't actually there :T) ]
The palace inside the city, where official things happen and court is held. [ this here. and after that, there's another pulled up. ] Here's the one I actually grew up in. My parents and sister still spend a lot of time there. The other's more like a work place, but we stay there sometimes too. There's rooms, a kitchen. All that. [ another, and one more. ] More homey. If overly ornate rooms are your idea of homey.

[now she's just being a troll.
It's different from the cities she's used to, Japan and China and around there. But they're still beautiful all the same - she loved cities, full of humans who sometimes did amazing things, and sometimes for other humans. It was why she always came back to Tokyo]
Overly ornate rooms can be homey. I should show you pictures from Japan - or China, where I'm originally from. They're both like that with their decorations.
It's pretty, though - Shiloh. Unique.

[ l o l, loyalty.
he lifts his head to listen as she talks about her country (countries?), going back over what Tony had told him about Japan, and what Baku had mentioned earlier. He had been wanting to see pictures. ]
Do you have any with you? [ on her cuff or blackglass. ]
no subject
[she slips off the bed, though, and heads over to grab her blackglass. She had a few pictures of Tokyo, downloaded late one night when she was bored waiting for people to get to sleep. That and she had remembered their conversation. She returns to Jack's bed, flopping down and bringing up the saved pictures]
I don't live in the city proper, I live further out. [she gestures on one of the pictures, a general area of where her house was] But it doesn't take long to get there. It's pretty busy like this all the time, though.
no subject
[ said with a laugh, and when she hops back on the bunk with her blackglass, Jack scoots up next to her to make it easy to see what she pulls up on the screen. honestly, jack's jaw is dropping some. it's so much different from shiloh - and so incredibly full of life. busy and bright and lively. ]
That's incredible... I didn't think cities could look that alive. [ then again, his views on shiloh have always been sort of jaded. he lifts a hand to swap back to the picture of the large, ornate red structure, a bit enchanted by it and immensely curious. ] This is beautiful. What is that? The architecture's different from the rest.
no subject
[she glances sideways at Jack as he looks at the pictures and can't help but grin a tiny bit. Tokyo wasn't her native city - hell, Japan really wasn't either, but it was her favorite place to live, out of everywhere she'd been] It's always like that. Twenty million people and more, coming and going.
This, though - [she lightly taps the shrine] - is a shrine. One of many. Religious buildings, though they're also really big tourist attractions. There's a smaller one, less fancy near where I live - my "cousin" guards it.
no subject
[ he's pretty sure she has, and wow, rude. so he's giving her a wry eyeroll. he's going back to studying the picture right after, though, head tilting as he takes in the details and nods as she explains. ]
Religious. What's the religion in this world?
no subject
[Jack please she's a deity, reading files is not a big deal, especially with her ability to keep secrets. She tilts her head at the question, though, and gives a thoughtful hum]
The shrine itself is Shinto, but there's more than one religion. I'd say there's thousands.
