Oh, yeah! Business type guys were always trying to get stuff from me...

[ Her phone number, her email address, dates, car rides alone with her... yuck. She laughs, sheepishly, honestly charmed to relate over something so normal seeming. Though she doesn't necessarily miss being famous as he does, she can understand on a personal level the shift in how others treat you once you become famous. ]

Thankfully, no one in Achamoth is like that. They can be pushy, but they don't really want stuff from us. [ Other than a chance to show their gratitude and worship towards the Kenoma.] And everyone in Venera seemed to scared of Aions, so I guess it's probably not a problem anywhere else, either....

[ there's a sympathetic twinge on his end at that - though, unfortunately, he suspects that businessmen probably wanted different things from her than they did him. (Most of the time.) ]

Yeah? I heard they treat you like kings in Achamoth. That's different from being a celebrity, though, I guess... [ hmm. ] Anyway, I bet it's nothing compared to wherever you come from, since you're from the future and all.

[ misa is used to sleeping in her SPACE BED presumably ]

I mean, I guess? But the Achamites are a lot more generous than an average fan.

[ Giving up free money, sometimes even offering Aions their lives or their service... it's kind of a lot. On the topic of how life in general is: ]

Actually, living in Achamoth is way, way fancier than how I lived in modern Japan. I'm sure my life wasn't that different from yours on Earth... [ yes it was but she just assumes since johnny is famous his life quality must have been about equal ] Though I'm not so good with history, so I can't even start to guess whether Horos is fancier than what you came from.

[ did they have toilets back then??? ]

[ YES HE HAD TOILETS MISA!! ]

I dunno, either. Never been.

[ obviously. Johnny hums. ]

You have electricity over there? That's supposed to be the next big thing. Electric stairs, electric lights, electric carriages - stuff like that.

[ this probably elucidates how far back he is a little more, though. ]

Pfft. [ Sorry Johnny, she can't help but laugh yet again. ] Yeah, there's some electricity. But not even close to how much there was in Tokyo where I was living.

[ Big television screens, stadiums full of lights - there's really nothing like that except on "futuristic" Earth, she guesses. ]

Electricity was the next big thing. There was pretty much electric everything in my time. Even wheelchairs. Here, most stuff runs on magic, it seems like. I don't really get magic, so I just try not to worry about it. Is it only magic where you're living? Really? No electricity?

[ what are they doing, living in the forest with dinos????? ]

[ eats his floor meat shamefully... ]

I don't really know... Electricity kinda seems like magic to me.

[ that's half a lie - he's pretty sure he'd be able to tell the difference - but he doesn't want to give up any information about their singular safe haven if he can help it. Not even to Misa. Being nice doesn't necessarily mean she can be trusted with sensitive information, too.

though he's curious, he doesn't comment on the electric wheelchair bit. It's still a source of shame for him, even though years have passed, and his curiosity doesn't outweigh his chagrin. ]

And I don't really "get" magic, either, so it makes about as much sense. [ a beat. ] That sounds cool, though - an electric city. Wish I could live to see it.

[ Thankfully, that answer totally seems like the truth to her. Airheadedly: ]

Oh, duh. I feel stupid, of course you wouldn't really be able to tell the difference.

[ Because if he hasn't seen electricity before, how would he be able to discern it from magic....? ]

The only way you're ever gonna be able to see something close to that is in Achamoth - but that's not happening any time soon. [ even she is not stupid enough to believe that he would willingly come to Achamoth at any point in the near future... maybe down the line, though. ] To be honest, what freaks me out more than the magic are the animals. Did you know people keep big spiders as pets in Achamoth? It's super weird and kinda gross.

[ ironically, despite the fact that everyone is going to Achamoth very soon, Misa remains correct, because Johnny isn't... ]

What, like tarantulas?

[ there's a pause as he thinks, considering all the giant freak-fauna that live in the forest around Greentruth. ]

... Probably bigger than that, huh. [ he's not afraid of bugs, but he does seem to agree that it's kinda gross, as she puts it. ] Yeah, I think I'd take a regular cat over that...
