Summary: Terra's getting a roommate this quarter. Time to make nice~!

It was almost funny, the way her previous two roommates vanished before they settled into their new accomodations this quarter. Terra was beginning to think that her room was cursed. Still, she did get word that a new girl would be coming into the dorms this weekend, and Terra was quietly curious about who it would be. For the moment, she remained seated at the table in the main room off of the bedrooms, a sword laid out on the table in front of her as she carefully cleaned dried monster blood off of the metal, and worked on resharpening the edges.

"I know what research is," Terra hastened to assure her, "I meant, what do you research?" A pause. "... blastia? And air? What's so special about air...?"

Other than it keeping them all alive, that is. "I don't.. think my world has blastia, but it has air, and ... I'm sure it has ruins."

"Blastia convert aer into usable energy," Rita elaborated, finally deciding she'd been standing up too long and taking a seat. Despite the statement being somewhat vague without explaining what aer was, she didn't correct Tina's misunderstanding - she couldn't be bothered. "They're an ancient technology from the Geraios Civilisation, and not everything is understood about them."

Placing chin in her hand, with a sigh that could easily be interpreted as boredom, she continued. "They're the main subject of my research."

Terra shifted back to give Rita more room when she sat down. "I...see." Well no, she didn't really see. She got the gist of it, pretty much, and from the long silence that followed, she was mulling over what she was told. "I wonder if there are 'blastia' here in this world too. I know there are ruins - it's a possibility yes?"

"There is a possibility," Rita said, "but if they exist, they're not given anywhere near the same level of importance! I would need to do some studying, particularly of the ancient cultures. Try to draw some parallels, find out what's unknown, go out there and dig around a bit. Of course, this world looks just as crowded with monsters as mine, so that could be a lot of trouble to go to."

She was vaguely aware she was still being somewhat difficult to follow, but continued to ignore it. With a shrug, she decided that this material would probably be best left until later.

"For now, I'll just see what these Garden people have to teach me. It looks like Garden uses 'Guardian Forces', and I don't know anything about those yet!"

Terra considers this, making a valid attempt at understanding even half of what her new roomie was talking about. "When you say they're technology that converts air into energy, do you mean the way they use those cars here? They have 'gas' that converts .. into energy for cars - or something like that."

And on to slightly more familiar subjects! "Do you have anything like this place in your world?" Also, no Guardian Forces? That is sad :(
