[so it would probably be smart to be spending his time here leveling up and getting stronger and all that, but kaworu has actually done very little real gaming. most of his time so far has been spent exploring mac anu thoroughly, people-watching and marveling over the little things.

in this case, the "little thing" happens to be the fountain in the center of the city. he's sitting on the edge of it, legs hanging in over the side without care of how wet it was making his pantlegs. he keeps dipping his hands into the water, drawing some out between cupped palms and staring intensely at the liquid as it ran over the sides and back into the fountain. he's been sitting here for quite some time now, so feel free to bother if you're beginning to grow concerned for his mental health -- or if you just want to try shoving him in or whatever, that's cool too.]

[Yep. Definitely doing that staring and being concerned over his mental health things.]

Ever seen water before?

[diedforyoursins]

Of course. Roughly 75% of the Earth's surface is covered with with it, about 326 million cubic miles of water. Even if far from the ocean, it would be very difficult to have never seen it before at all.

[but you're probably not as interested in these details as he is. he turns to sit sideways on the fountain ledge, dropping one leg over to the dry side and trailing water as he goes. looking up at riku, he smiles and upcups his hands, careless of how the liquid drips down his shirt sleeves.]

But this is not Earth, and that is what's fascinating. This is all artificial, and yet I cannot find anything that separates it from the real thing.

[He grew up next to an ocean. Water statistic's really don't interest him that much.]

That's kind of the point, isn't it?

[diedforyoursins]

It might be the point, but that does not make it any less impressive. To have gone beyond simply replicating the appearance of water, managing the chill and the wetness and refraction of light through a droplet...the humans who created this place could claim to be gods and not be all that far off.
