...How is everyone? The recent events were certainly upsetting, but now that things seem to have calmed down a bit..

[There's a long pause, and it sounds as if Japan is distracted by something for a while. It has to be a few minutes that pass before he remembers it's recording.]

These new communicators are quite fascinating.. From what I've seen, they come in assorted colors. Is this correct? ...

Oh, yes. If I may add something else. For clothing, what are the options here? I am aware there are stores, though I do not know exactly which types.. [He's avoided that area since the dress incident, okay.] Are there materials to sew? Or new clothing in sets? Ah, if you have any information, please share this with me.

[He then types this message in text, along with adding the following note:]

If you have not already noticed, Denmark-san is looking to start a project. An apartment building. I believe it would be in our best interests, so if you are interested in helping this cause, please contact me here, or be sure to notify him in the near future.

Then it's agreeable.

You're participating? [Referring to the apartment, though it is somewhat vague.]

[brbmodernizing]

...Participating? [didn't catch that at all]

[lutefisk]

The planned apartment.

[brbmodernizing]

Ah, yes! I intend to help with whatever I can.

[lutefisk]

It'll be appreciated.

But then there's room to wonder.

[brbmodernizing]

Eh?

[lutefisk]

If building is being done for the sake of comfort or escapism to forget the homes we already have.

[brbmodernizing]

...Surely it is the first.

[lutefisk]

Surely?

[brbmodernizing]

Surely. [protip, 90% of the time Japan says "surely" when he's not sure.]

[lutefisk]

[We'll keep that in mind for next time.]

What's your reason for participating?

[brbmodernizing]

I believe it would be helpful to the city.

[lutefisk]

How so?

[brbmodernizing]

Most of the apartments aren't fully functioning. Ah.. it would be nice to have one that is.

[lutefisk]

A good answer. Almost surprising it wasn't done sooner.

[brbmodernizing]

There is a certain lack of organization here.
