I'm fairly new to paper books. Any recommendations?

They don't have paper where you come from? What do they put the books on?

Paper became more needless than not. They're in digital media where I'm from.

Where are you from?

Not ~~Lost~~ Earth, if that's what you mean.

Where else is there? Space?

Pretty much. Earth no longer exists in my time.

What?

How is that possible? We're on Earth right now, aren't we? What year is it?

No one really knows. It happened over 4000 years ago from my perspective.

This place has a way of bringing in people from the past and the future. The year I'm from is T.C. 4753 so technically, Earth's disappearance hasn't occurred yet in this place. I believe A.D. 2510 is when the T.C. era began, if you need a numerical reference.

I don't know what year it is here.

I [ink blots]

... I come from 23XX. Books ~~are~~ were a storage medium that humans stopped using in favor of the digital, so that's why I asked...

I can't believe they have the technology to do that.

Oh, that makes sense. I believe it started shifting over in the early 2000's.

From what I understand, humans were forced to develop the technology to preserve their species so the progress is rather understandable...

Them and their ambiguity. X'D

It's possible through space-time continuums.

How so?

Do you know the theory or science behind them?

Peter Pan!!

[Arrow up to previous replies with Carter]

What's digital?

Edited 2011-10-06 12:15 (UTC)

Peter Pan? What's it about?

Digital is a data technology that uses discrete (discontinuous) values and can be used to store various information. It's basically a way to store information (like a story) without needing an actual physical container (like a book).

Oh, it's my favorite book. Has been since childhood, you know? It's about a boy who never grows up and he has all these exciting adventures! Read it! It's the best!

[A few pen taps.]

... I'm not sure I follow.

I'll look into it.

Uh, just imagine seeing words in mid-air.

You'll like it!!

... Like floating words? But how is that possible?! And this exists where you're from? That's amazing!

I'll let you know if I do.

Through [He wants to put "digital technology", but that went over the person's head the last time.] magic. And yes, it does.

Magic?! MAGIC!! Wait, really? Hey, could you show me?

[Oh. This isn't going to be simple after all.]

I don't really have the equipment to show you...

[Nope. Claire doesn't do simple, see?]

Then just tell me about it!

Ask Ritsuka. He reads a lot.

I'll see when I get a chance.

Okay. [ With a cheerful feeling attached.~ ]
