For all your random Champion Sovereign needs.
That's a little over the top! Are you sure she'd even look?
We cannot be certain that she would not.
But distracting her must be easy, right? I mean, she notices everything!
Probably football and chess players won't work.
Indeed, I don't recall Rii-san ever expressing particular interest in either.
Ah!
[HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN THERE]
Rii-san!
[JUST... PLAY IT COOL...]
...good afternoon!

Yuuri-chan!
[Yurika flails and gets up to try and block the screen.]
Football or chess! For... no particular reason!

[Arianna makes a very deliberate and obvious effort to stand in her way.]
We are... considering activities! For the group!
We are... considering activities! For the group!
Right! Like group recreation! After all, just doing long-distance running would probably cause a mutiny, wouldn't it?
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
[The computer room sure is popular these days, isn't it? But whenever Arianna wanders in, the Doctor is sitting at a terminal, surrounded by pages of scribbled notes- which he is currently ignoring in favor of some kind of news blog with an aesthetic best described as "90's Spacecities".]
Wrong. Wrong- oh, this one's half right, it was Martian, not Venusian. And it's just a hair dryer.
[Approach and see what he's complaining about, y/n?]

["Just a hair dryer," he says, as if the gun that shoots warm breezes was not Amazing Future Technology.
Nevertheless, Arianna is intrigued. What is the Space Internet so wrong about? And... how could it be wrong on such a page with such a pretty background and so many little animated pictures?]
Sir Doctor? What is it?

[Yurika's been cleaning and sorting things all week. She waves at Arianna, folding clothes into a box.]
Hello! Are you cleaning for New Year's, too? Oh, I never asked if they do that where you're from.

[Arianna is also carrying some clothes, coincidentally.]
Oh! Is that a tradition in your land? I was merely working on laundry.
Oh! Is that a tradition in your land? I was merely working on laundry.
It is! Out with the old troubles, that's the idea. To be ready for the new year! Well, years work differently on different planets, but we all just used Earth's.
I suspect our troubles will continue to plague us for some time, but that is an intriguing tradition nonetheless. But no, we have nothing like that in Caledonia. We are busy with the Summoner festival at the beginning of the new year, after all.
Oh, that sounds interesting! What do you all do for that?
[Oh Arianna, the space internet is wrong about so very many things.]
Ah, Arianna. Armchair historians is what it is.
[He gestures at the screen, still frowning.]
I've been tryin' to work out where exactly this universe's history diverged from ours- well, mine, anyway- an' stumbled across this.
It's... there's this theory on my Earth that people from other planets've been visiting for years, all through human history, see? And that's right, but people go too far an' say that all kinds of old technology and architecture must've been made by the visitors instead of just figuring out how it was actually done. Turns out that's one more thing our worlds have in common, looks like.

Ah! Like the theory that Yggdrasil came from another world in pursuit of a great evil.
[yeah about that]
Then, you know the history of all these places?
[yeah about that]
Then, you know the history of all these places?
Could be, a bit, yeah.
[Doctor please, Caledonia is one of the worlds you really DON'T know the history of.]
I know what their histories are in my universe, yeah. I'd be a pretty poor time-traveler if I didn't.
[l o l]

[Whenever she's not doing what Natsuhi normally does, she can be found reading. It's normally somewhere relatively quiet. She'll read all kinds of things, some times she borrows from someone else.
Like this time. Where she's calm, almost happy with her reading glasses on.Then she turns the page, spends a good thirty seconds squinting.
Then yelps and tosses the book across the room.]

[RUSHING IN. THAT SOUNDED LIKE VIOLENCE HAPPENING OR SOMETHING.]

Do you suppose they are all the same here? It does seem many things are constant between all our worlds.
[For instance, all of them are apparently full of bisexual people.]
