No, not at all. No magic, no monsters... Nothing like that. It's pretty boring compared to this place and what I've heard.
[ Boring and normal. Honestly, he's not too sure if that's a bad thing all things considered. Though maybe he'd be a different person if his life was filled with things like what Fuuka went through. ...or maybe he wouldn't be. Who knows. ]
I wouldn't change it for anything, however. I think I like boring.
[ Sometimes there was something nice about the ordinary? ]
I think boring is better for my world, too. And hopefully it can be that way from now on.
[No more Tartarus, no more Dark Hour, and no more Shadows. No more Apathy Syndrome because of people falling to those Shadows and becoming husks of their former selves.
No longer will the world be doomed because of a seemingly unstoppable force.
[ He catches that particular phrasing. When she put it that way, it sounded as if she was no longer going through that..? Maybe? Or was he assuming too much. ]
Tartarus was actually an altar to summon an incredibly powerful being, one that would destroy our world.
[It almost seemed impossible, and looking back on it, it didn't feel completely real. But Tartarus on its own had stretched the boundaries of "real" far beyond what Fuuka had known. Nyx had been an apocalyptic scenario come to life— equal parts unbelievable and terrifying.]
...but we were able to defeat it. Now Tartarus is no more, and hopefully something like that will never happen again.
[ He doesn't know what to say and instead kind of marvels. He didn't realize something like that could be defeated. It seemed so...intangible. ]
Wow. [ A beat as he flusters. ] I, I'm sorry.
I'm sure it deserves more than just that, but I can't imagine defeating something like that. You all must be proud of yourselves for accomplishing that.
[ Yuuri hopes he doesn't sound too cheesy or making light of what she and her friends did. He just—can't fathom it personally. ]
[His flustering once again brings a smile to her face, and she shakes her head. She knows how inexplicable it sounds. It still feels unreal, sometimes.]
Don't worry about it.
[She hardly feels like a hero despite what they've done, let alone feels as though she deserves to be treated and honored as one. Especially here. Here, she's just Fuuka.]
So, Katsuki-san, I'm guessing you already know where you are? Have you had a chance to go to the Welcome Centre?
[ Well, if that's what Fuuka was going to say about it then that's what he'll accept. If she didn't want to make a fuss then better for him. ]
Oh, not yet. I was on my way to the Welcome Centre when I got side tracked.
[ The allure of a snow rink and all of the things that catered to his love for the winter sport really blinded him from what he was supposed to do. ]
I've been told a little about what is going on and what to expect from this place. [ He'll rub the back of his neck a little bashfully. ] But it's always different seeing something than hearing about it.
quietly shrieks i almost completely forgot about this
[Yuuri Katsuki, just a normal boy from a normal world who, upon getting transported to another world, opts to, instead of figuring out wtf just happened, play in the snow.]
It definitely is an experience. But as strange as it is... Verens is a rather pleasant place to live in.
[Source: her. Then she remembers something, and goes into her jacket and pulls out a pamphlet, offering it to Yuuri.]
It certainly seems that way. [ There's a moment where he considers everything that has happened to him and...well, it isn't exactly unpleasant so he doesn't want to revise his statement but— ] Aside from the weirdness that it might have.
[ He'll take the pamphlet from her with a bit of small bow. ]
[She gives a small smile regarding the "weirdness", because she certainly can't deny that the town has it. And to think, Yuuri just got here... People freezing things with their emotions was practically mundane in comparison to some of the things she'd experienced. Actually, freezing things with emotions is practically routine...
She nods.]
Of course. I hope you're able to make a nice home away from home for yourself here. And I hope we meet again soon.

Actually, I think Empatheias is still quite remarkable. It took me quite awhile to get used to the whole emotions aspect of it.
[She shakes her head with a small smile. That's enough about her.]
I'm guessing the world you come from doesn't obviously have magic, does it?

Yes, boring is much better, in that case.]

Did all of that change?
ok let's try this again

sorry this took so long!

Here, this should help you out some more.
all good! ...we could prob end this here/soon?

Thank you.
sounds good!
She nods.]
Of course. I hope you're able to make a nice home away from home for yourself here. And I hope we meet again soon.
