[It was just another day in the Bastion, helping make preparations for assisting the Ura that were in dire straits. But then, during lunch, Ibuki's cry of disbelief and amusement rang out loud and clear]

[Because she used the monument to create "magical jerky cows", and renovated one of the new buildings on the Bastion into a music venue.]

[... after her initial cry, Ibuki can be found in front of iBooty Shuffle, leaning against one of the chocolate jerky cows and...]

[... just... laughing. That's all she's doing. Laughing]

"Yeah, yeah! That's right! But, but you have to work at it really hard and keep at it! Like, like, the cows were two hundred shards! And fixing up the music venue was three hundred! Lots! Ibuki's not good at fighting, so it took her awhile and teaming up with Patchy-chan to get the shards she needs! So many shards that Ibuki just wasted! She sure hopes that they're not going to run out anytime soon! Who knows if there's a limited amount or not? What a mystery!"

Despite her voiced concern, she doesn't sound worried at all...

As hard as it is to wrap her head around that monument being able to create entirely new species whether they be plant or animal, and as much as the word 'mystery' usually pings her interest, it's the mention of fighting that really throws Jane off.

"You have to get these shards by fighting?" Jane takes a moment to glance around. The Bastion seems so peaceful, it's hard to imagine anyone doing any fighting to collect items. "Where?"

"Out on the skyway!" Ibuki points towards the exit of the Bastion, "It's like something out of a video game! You fight the random monsters out there, and then suddenly, pretty shards! Whoa!"

[cyan_maid]

"Oh, I'm quite familiar with game mechanics, thank you," Jane says. It sort of just slips out of her mouth. At least the drop rate is large enough that people can actually do things with what they get, unlike the pittance of grist she'd encountered in the game, but it's a bit too familiar not to make her wary. "But these monsters mostly keep to the Skyway, yes? It's not common for them to come here, is it?"

Not that she's unprepared if they do, but then again, it's doubtful that everyone who survives the end of the world starts out with combat experience, a la Ibuki's testimony.

[scary_music]

"Yeah, yeah! Don't worry, they don't seem to care about entering the Bastion for some reason! Maybe it's magic! Or gameplay mechanics!"

After a pause, she adds, "Well, well, the hospital was haunted one time for some reason... that was reaaaaaallly scary and bad, but it's fine, now!"
