UKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[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]

[Ibuki laughs in reply]

Not these ones!

They're magical jerky cows! Incredible!!

[notfell]

.... So what makes them cows?

[ And since she's already answering questions- ]

Jerky is another word for dried meat, right?

[scary_music]

They're cows because they're udderly ridiculous!

[... yeah... no, she's not sure how to answer what makes them cows. Besides the jerky layer (and chocolate milk instead of normal milk in half their number) they really are normal cows]

That's right, that's right! Meat that's been dried! Delicious!

[notfell]

.... [ He doesn't get the pun. He supposes that this means that he should just... figure that out elsewhere, unless that was a comment on how delicious they were. Time to taste the jerky then. ]

Fresh is better when you can get it, but not bad. [ ... Take fresh as you want, Ibuki. ]

[scary_music]

You can always get fresh meat from the meat farm, as fresh as can be! Through the power of science!

[notfell]

....

[ He doesn't even know what to say to that. Farming isn't terribly unknown, but meat farming is.


... and Science is a word he has come to associate with Colin and things that he probably won't understand. ]

.. uh. okay?

[scary_music]

Uwoah!

Ibuki has struck this new person she doesn't even know the name of speechless!

... Almost speechless!

[notfell]

.. I'm Moon. You're... Ibuki?

[ Was he being rude, or is this person just crazy. He can't tell.. ]

[scary_music]

Oooh, Moon-chan, Moon-chan! That introduction lacked so much enthusiasm!

Okay! Ibuki will show you!

The I is for Incandescent! A B for Beautiful! And now a U for Undeniable! Here's a K for Kitty! And the last I for Inconceivable!

It all comes together to form Ibuki Mioda! Nice to meet you, Moon-chan!

Now, now, you give it a shot! Show Ibuki an amazing introduction, Moon-chan!

[notfell]

Uh.

[ The first word that starts with M that Moon comes up with is Moron. That doesn't seem to work..

oh dear, the second... He looks a little embarrased, because that was his mother's name but he's drawing blanks. ]

M for.. Malachite. First O for... Opal. [ ... He's just going to go through all the names he can think of, and already he's a little stumped.

And since now he feels stupid, here's two words that come to mind. ]

Second O for outsider and N for nervous.

[scary_music]

[Ibuki laughs a bit at that]

Oooh! Okay, okay! Ibuki will take it easy on you if you're nervous! That was good, though! Good for your first try! Keep working on it, Moon-chan! You don't need to copy Ibuki! You can try something new! You might get something amazing!

[notfell]

[ This is where Moon realizes that Ibuki is probably the token crazy in the community and that's really not a normal introduction method.

TIME TO ASK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. ]

What does chan mean?

[scary_music]

[Wow excuse you Moon, just because she behaves differently from "normal" people]

A good question, Moon-chan!

It's like... Mr.! Or Ms.! Except that's more what -san is... so, so, -chan is the less formal wear version of it! Like a nickname!

So, so, it's an honorific! But it's not very honorable... but not in a bad way!

[notfell]

[ It means he feels comfortable asking her questions. Its either the weird lady, or find someone who is drunk or drugged all the time- ]

... That's.. not a thing I've heard of before.

[scary_music]

Welcome to the Bastion, Moon-chan, where different worlds and cultures collide!

[notfell]

I'd traveled a lot, but... [ There are some pretty strange ones here. ]

[scary_music]

Even outside your world, Moon-chan? Even that?

[notfell]

I can't breathe underwater. And waterlings can be big enough to squish me like [ Moon shrugs and claps his hands. ]

... Same with the skyling I saw.

[ Moon, Ibuki meant world, not the realms of your world. ]

[scary_music]

...

Culture gap strikes!

Okay! So Moon-chan hasn't been to beyond the sky, right? Right?

[notfell]

No. I've been on floating islands and ships, but always in sight of the ground.

[ ... Not going to talk about the Fell sack. ]

[scary_music]

Ooh! Kind of like the Bastion and the skyway, maybe? Maybe? But without the ships?

[notfell]

Yeah. Sort of.

[ Only he hasn't dug into skyway islands looking for magic rocks that keep them floating. ]

Only you can see the ground from the islands, and the reverse too.
