Tech where I'm from? [ Or tech where I was born? He leaves it ambiguous for now. ] It's a lot like this, I suppose. I had the Leafbook in Evermore, and it was connected wirelessly to other devices so I could keep track of everyone around the world. I used to own a tablet too, back in the day, but I used it mostly for...official duties. [ AKA Tidus' favorite word, work! All in all, Roland isn't tech-deprived at the least, but he's never been like Tani and Bracken who took to technology like fishes in water.
If his own hacked online journal was of any indication. He's still bitter about that. ]
There's a country called Broadleaf, allied with Evermore. They're probably a bit more hi-tech and sci-fi than my own world. Maybe I'll get to show you what I mean, if we see it in that picture book?
[ The loading screen is finally done, and their characters render at last. He smiles - they look really good! And for the first time since Tidus asked him to play the VR console, Roland feels a bit excited. So much so that a bit of his elderly facade breaks by just a tiny bit, and his excitement bleeds into his follow-up. ]
A broom. Y'know, witches and wizards in those stories fly around on brooms, casting spells and curses. I used to think with all the magic in Evermore, I'd get one delivered to me. Turns out they still used boats and airships, just like back home. Color me disappointed.
