A Lost Soul [RE-OPEN 11/5]

After several weeks of wandering the city and finding no other spiritual beings other than the Diviner and the Hollow she met the day she awakened, Miné had set to the task of learning what had changed in the mortal world. A few days after her initial encounter, Miné had made her way to an 'internet' cafe, remembering the term from one of Janus's confused statements. She managed to talk her way into free access from the mortal at the counter (though she may have used her aura to make him a bit more sympathetic to her plight), and she spent the next few days and nights discovering what had happened in the world. She was shocked to learn that the capital of the country had moved from Kyoto to Tokyo, a city merely about 100 ri away, no, 50 kilometers away. She would have to adjust to current weights and measures. This was not the most shocking thing she learned in the review of human history; massive landmasses had been discovered in her time away from the world. The moon had been reached by people of one of these previously unheard of lands; they were people among the stars! Well, not truly, as she also looked into science and repeatedly had her notions of physics and the world shattered.

Miné was always flexible and willing to adapt to new information, and while she learned as well that you can not trust everything on the internet (though she also learned that from the internet), her week of research brought her much closer to understanding the modern world. While the broad strokes had come into her understanding, there was obviously much she had to learn, and it seemed that outside a few websites that also teemed with maddening claims (even in her time they knew the earth was not flat, why would anyone think that?), the spiritual world still remained mostly unknown to mortals.

Perhaps there weren't any spiritual beings in Karakura town, and the mass of people threw off her senses. According to some of the historical notes she found online, there were about 6 million souls across all of Japan in her time. Today, there were over 9 million living in the capital alone. She continued researching, and established that she could probably make it to Tokyo for a few hundred yen and about an hour. Truly, the transportation of this time was amazing.  A city with such a large population was bound to have clues she could find to contact beings of the spiritual world.  She would spend the next few days scraping together some yen, then aim to make it to the capital.   Without the need to eat or sleep, Miné would have no issues saving up money from a few quick jobs.

((Thread will be over here, unless someone shows up while she's scraping together cash; assume a restaurant or something, I'll leave it open until Monday))
