I know, right??? You used to have to walk for a month to get anywhere interesting!

[breweries]

Was that the case for you as well? Fufu. Although, convenient as text messaging may be, there's still something romantic about sending a written letter or a note - whether by bird, arrow, or by your very self.

[kaientai]

It's true! I used to enjoy writing letters to my sister. You can't send along extra gifts with text messages either and that's no fun.

Never sent one by bird or arrow though that would've been a hell of a lot more convenient than going by land...

[breweries]

I recommend doing the two sometime. Just make sure the one shooting the arrow is a good archer lest there will be collateral damage within the property.

[ shylock will have to give matoba credit that one time -- he is a good shot. ]

[kaientai]

I'll have to give them a try sometime! It's funny, I know a lot of archers who aren't technically archers now that I'm thinking about it. Too bad you can't send messages with bullets

[ wait... ]

You know what I mean.

[breweries]

[ okay, shylock can't help the light laugh that escaped him just now. ]

I do. Although, if they're not technically archers, wouldn't they be called something else?

[kaientai]

You would think, but I guess that just goes to show why trying to slap a label on people doesn't work out so well. It's less important that you're a proper archer and more that you shoot or throw something, I suppose.

[ welcome to fate/ logic. ]

[nemuru]

so would spearthrowers be archers then
like those javelin guys at the olympics
or ppl who play disc golf

[kaientai]

Oh, people with spears are usually Lancers. Unless by spear it's more like a harpoon or something? Because that could maybe be an Archer because you're shooting the spear out of a thing??

What's disc golf?

[nemuru]

ohhh

and its
uh
competitive frisbee i guess
its popular in america

[kaientai]

Really?? I'm not sure what a "frisbee" is but we'll have to find a way to try it!

[nemuru]

how old are you

[kaientai]

Why's that matter? It's not like you hit a certain age and stop being interested in things.

[nemuru]

no im just wonderin how far back in time i have to go to explain what a frisbee is
if ur like an old old person then ig the closest equivalent is uh
discus
those old greek rocks
wonder if u can count skipping stones as frisbees too or if thats getting too far into cube rule

[breweries]

Determining this by age does not always work. He could have come from another country that does not have them.

[nemuru]

do u have frisbees where ur from

[breweries]

It might have gone by another name. It sounds like a toy that Western Country would have produced at one point.

[kaientai]

That's assuming we're all from the same sort of Earth with the same sort of countries too.

[nemuru]

thats true
do u have japan where ur from
hate to assume based on ur name so ig ill ask

[breweries]

Oh no, it's from a completely different world. We have summoned sages from that certain country, however.

[ in other words, isekai. ]

[nemuru]

isekai huh
wonder if they got hit by a truck b4 they died n went to ur place
thats rly common

[kaientai]

[ whoever happens to be around him probably hears him giggle like an idiot for a sec. ]

I might've heard of it.

[nemuru]

which western country

[breweries]

What else is there?

[kaientai]

Many? [ he's met a lot of people who see their own country as the beginning and end of the "world" so there's always that too. ] France, Holland, Britain, America? Those are just a few.
