[ it has been a while since Kaworu showed his face and made a post, hasn't it? This time around he is at the park. His really pale skin is red from the sun - probably burnt, too, because Kaworu is like an albino - and it's obvious he is feeling the heat, but he is sitting under a tree in the shade ]

Hello. [ have a gentle smile, everyone! ] I hope everyone is alright, even though recent events show us it is getting more dangerous. Even so, there is still much to see and learn in this world. Only recently I've found there are small fans to place inside houses to refresh the place. [ yeah he didn't know about that sort of fans )8 ] Even after so long here, there is much for me to learn.

I suppose it makes me curious: what is the most fascinating thing you have seen in this world?

I do have another question. [ but of course. And it'll be a bit more personal ] After the war has ended and if the Gods and the travelers win, would you wish to stay in this world, or would you rather return? And why?

Mm, there are many things that are interesting here Kaworu. I suppose the most being the people, hm?

As for after... ah. That is the question is it not? I think I would return home, perhaps... there are young ones I would take with me, you see. To see the White City and the Golden Wood, the Sea and the Valley... to visit those places where the Eldar still linger. But if not, I think I would wander. The world is wide, and the universe moreso - I would see more of it, if I could. What of you, istyar?

[5thchild]

Are they very different from the ones you've met in your world, Maglor?

Who would you like to bring along with you? [ Kaworu smiles and shakes his head softly ] I must return. There is still much for me to do.

[bythewaves]

Yes and no... people will be people, eh? Here or elsewhere. But to hear the tales of distant worlds, and to meet the people from them... ah, now that is something a bard like me can draw real pleasure from.

Mm, I would take any who wished to see them in truth - but there are two here especially dear to me...

I hope you will find time yet to explore, istyar.

["Most fascinating" would be a hard race, and it ties in closely with "most confusing". A fair amount of what Bran has seen and heard here makes next to no sense at all, including the bracelet, which he's only recently figured out how to work. How does the water get inside the walls? Is a hamster a kind of pig? But there's one that has him baffled more than any other.]

I've never seen light kept inside of glass before. [Lightbulbs. He's perplexed by electricity.] I don't understand where it comes from, if there's no fire.

[voice]

[5thchild]

Light-bulbs. [ he speaks softly ] Some worlds do not know the existence of electricity, or simply have found other ways around it. In any case, electricity does exist within you [ it's not magic, sorry Bran. ]

[summerschild]

Within me?

[Incorrect, all of this is magic. It has to be. How else can you explain the toaster in the kitchen?]

[beyondmeasure]

I would return home. There's a war there, as well, and I'd like to help my friends win it. ( It's not conceited, not really. If what Hermione told her holds true, then they do win the war. )

The most fascinating thing I've seen... I'd say that it's how most people are polite and friendly, both through these communicators and in person.

[5thchild]

[ he nods ] I understand why you would. And I hope you can help them and the war in your world ends soon.

Regarding the politeness, such doesn't happen in your world?

[beyondmeasure]

Not as often as it does here.

[notbychoice]

I'd love it if I could return home, only there's nothing really waiting for me, not quite.

[ He shrugs. Better to state things plainly than not. ]

It's a bit confusing, but as I'm technically dead, or at least in a bit of limbo, if I had the choice, and if my friends did as well, I'd just as soon stay right here.

[5thchild]

[ well, he told Kaworu about the war, but, he listens curiously about the second part ]

what if they would rather return? Would you still stay?

video;

[notbychoice]

I might do that, yes, if I had a choice.

[ It's better than going back to limbo or death or whatever he's got waiting for him. ]

If the gods let us, maybe some of us could make lives for ourselves around here.

[littlesurvivor]

The most interesting? I guess the powers? I mean, nobody had any powers back home.

I'm....not sure if I want to go back home or not. Even with the war, things are still better here. And I have Lee.

[5thchild]

[ oh, that's nice ] What sort of powers do you have?

So if you and Lee both stay, you'd stay here, after the war?

[littlesurvivor]

I have shadow control here. I used to have healing with Sigyn though. Before I went home again.

[Just stating those powers probably tells Kaworu enough of what Clementine used to be like, what her life has become. Ever since the walkers things have changed. She has changed.]

But....yeah. I'd like that. Asgard is the only place I can see him again.

[feathery]

wait so if you missed out on fans
does that mean you never had air conditioning either

text;

[5thchild]

No, I have seen those.
In my world there were only air conditioning, there were no small domestic fans.

[abhero]

I'm going back. I was in the middle of a world saving quest you know.

audio

[5thchild]

Saving the world from what?

[realmenknitplushies]

['Fascinating?' He's not sure what even counts as 'fascinating' here any more.]

I want t' see my ma and the rest of my friends again, so for that, I wanna go home. And we've got things we've gotta finish. But... [A pause, thoughtful-] But the thing is, if we didn't have to fight...

I'm kinda doing better here than I was back there. And I ain't looking forward to ... some things.

[5thchild]

I'm glad you are doing better here.

Don't you think you may eventually do better in your world, as well?

[made_4_ritsuka]

I really want to go home, but there are a lot of people I would miss from here too that I wish I could still see even when everything is over.

[5thchild]

May I ask why you'd rather go home?

[thehedgehogsdilemma]

[ Was learning about the fans from when Kaworu saw their kotatsu replaced by a fan and Shinji's recent habit of sitting in front the fan like its his new best friend~? Shinji's 'mother-hen-boyfriend' mode kicked in at noticing how heated you look out there, judging by the slight frown. He could't help the slight remark,]

You look like you could use the fan more than I would need it... [ But that's not why he's here, don't worry. ]

[5thchild]

[ Kaworu smiles wider when he sees Shinji on the other side of the feed ] It's quite alright, Shinji-kun. The park feels nice, right now.

How are you?
