Live Across the Universe

In an endless field stood a towering tree. At the very center of its branching limbs sat a little wooden house with a roof and floor, but no walls. As you drew closer, you could make out a small blue table in the middle. A battered little device sat at the center of the table. The instant the button was pressed, a cool, clear voice rang out. “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tang Qi, and my nickname is Qiyu.” “Oh, right, I forgot to mention that Tang Qi is a nickname too. It’s nice to meet you.” “Smack!” A mechanical voice sounded. “Host!! You can’t just hit people!” The girl’s voice immediately turned plaintive. “He wouldn’t shake my hand, and he just kept staring at me!” “Why do you care so much? Whatever the Host does is right. Weichen, don’t make such a fuss.”
