Malaya: *comes out with two long ribbons. They almost look like lace with all the holes in them, but the pattern is clearly not for looks.* These will help protect you. *she'll step up and wrap a ribbon around Kage's neck and will tie it off like a collar. She'll do the same to Deckard.* These will make you invisible to the stealers. They will still sense your presence, so be careful, but at least they won't see you.

Deckard: *can't help the dubious, or at least questioning, look that crosses his face, but he won't insult her by asking, he'll ask Kage later* Thank you, Malaya-san.

Kage: Thank you, Malaya. *he's been here longer than he'd been in Japan, the honorifics just don't come naturally to him anymore. He'll step up and give her a hug*

Malaya: *hugs back* You two be careful. You have things to stay warm? Lots of orbs?

Kage: Yes, Malaya. I've packed all I could think of that we'll need.

Deckard: *small frown at a thought and he's pulling his pistol and extra ammo compartment...*

Kage: *turns to Deckard* Ready to go?

Deckard: Yes. *firm nod*

Kage: *dismissive shrug and a smug grin* It's in my programming. *nods and gets back to business* We'll have to make a boat, or hope those that live there will be willing to trade for one. ....we can drown now. And we can become tired even before we run low on fuel. *a soft huff* I always wondered what it would be like to be a human, but since coming here I wish I were a normal robot again. *moving on* There are monsters in the water, and obstacles we'll need to stear around. Most of the monsters will leave us be, but...if we have to fight we need to try our best to make sure we don't lose our boat.

	Deckard: nods . . . thinks for a moment, hefting the bag of orbs he's carrying Since you've crossed it once already, is it safe to assume it won't take us months to find our way across the desert? How long do you think that and the river will take? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Deckard: I see. nods . . . silent for a moment, looking at their surroundings as they walk What else can you tell me about this place, and the people. It seems you've made friends since you've been here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kage: smiles I have. It's...it's like being alive, I guess. We make a home for ourselves, do what we can to keep ourselves going. No one ages...and yet we never seem overcrowded. Sometimes I wonder if some people don't end up somewhere else entirely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Deckard: Sounds like people can potentially, in a sense, live forever here. Is there an economy? Do people hold jobs or have to pay for anything? frowns at a thought If a friend or family member dies and winds up elsewhere, is there some way of finding them? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kage: The orbs are used as money, or trinkets are traded. And so long as someone endes up in this realm they can be found. I... I worry sometimes that Shadowmaru might end up somewhere I can't reach him. I don't know where else people go, but clearly not everyone ends up here. People die everyday one Earth, not to mention the people from other worlds that end up here too. We should be getting thousands of new people everyday, likely many more, but we only have about...fifty a day that show up, at most.
