They were not.

[hoasen]

[She winces on the other side of this device.]

Then we would've known. This would be something our worlds do not have aligned.

[omkara]

I'm sure I don't exist in your world.

[hoasen]

I suppose and vice versa...we are known in our world, so you would know us too.

...Does it matter now that we have met here?

[omkara]

No.

[hoasen]

Indeed, and our experiences anywhere still shape us.

[omkara]

We're not meant to be here.

[hoasen]

We'll find a way back, I have tasks to do at home as well.
It there is a way to bring us here, then it would be the same the other way around, no?

[omkara]

I don't know.

[hoasen]

Which is fine, as we are not meant to know. But we will find out, we'll just need to research.
Or at least I hope so.

[omkara]

What was the last thing you remember from home, before you came here?

[hoasen]

It was March, the year 2019. I would say it was uneventful for me. I spent it doing the paperwork, before going home and then falling asleep. A very regular routine, for my work, in our day and age.

What of yourself?

[omkara]

(He intentionally avoids the reciprocated inquiry.)

What sort of paperwork does a deity do?

[hoasen]

[Oh Kanda, that only makes her wonder. Not that she'd pry.]

They do not really consider me as much of a deity in the types that do get worshipped, so I would say about as human as one would have to deal with. Policies, the law, talking with other politicians and recording that too.

[omkara]

You're a governing entity for Vietnam?

[hoasen]

In some way, yes. I assist our leaders in running the country. I'm not president, or anything such.

[omkara]

Seems strange for you to answer to humans.

[hoasen]

I suppose as a deity, it would be. But how to say, we're here to help humans.

[omkara]

Do they take your aide?

[hoasen]

Not always. Once, my brother rebelled against his bosses just so he could keep a friend in secret.

[omkara]

You have a brother?

[hoasen]

I do. They are not by blood, as we are taken in and in a way, adopted. So my siblings are some of the Asian countries who were raised by China, as well as those by France. I believe during your time, I was still a colony of France, and so he was my older brother and guardian.

[omkara]

I don't understand, were you born to a mother? A father?

[hoasen]

I'm not sure...I don't remember how I came to being. The others do not really say either.

[omkara]

I see.

[hoasen]

It must be strange, no? For us to be around for so long, but no idea how we came about. Or even seen how the others came about.

[omkara]

I don't think so, if that's all you know, then it's normal for you.

[hoasen]

You're really...how to say, everything you say has such clarity.

[It all makes sense!]

[omkara]

Sometimes things need to stay that way.

[hoasen]

Clear? I agree. And simple, I miss such moments.

[omkara]

It's not so simple here, is it?

[hoasen]

It is not. Their culture, for example, just the beginning of complications.

[omkara]

How welcoming are they to other cultures? What will be acceptable, what wouldn't be? They invite us foreigners here, yet, what if someone comes with traditions that are not within their tolerance?

[hoasen]

I am unsure, as I have yet to see it. I have heard that they have law enforcement, so it is a question of whether or not that shows how welcoming they are to other cultures as well.

So far, it seems they are. I have seem many similarities myself! Areas and customs that remind me of my brother, Japan, for example.
