Memory - Day One of “A Troublesome Land” —Leave Only Footsteps!—

Description: Kino, parked by a stream, discusses with Hermes how they have no idea what to do. So instead, they decide to set up a hammock and take a nap. Mid-nap, the ground starts to shake, and Kino makes a controlled fall from the hammock with a persuader at the ready. However, it turns out the cause of the tremors is a country - specifically, a walled country on huge caterpillar treads. Kino and Hermes break camp and hurry after it, catching the attention of the country and getting it to stop. After a quick chat over loudspeaker, Kino is allowed into the country thanks to a ramp, and they are treated to a tour by the immigration inspector.

The country itself travels because everyone in the country loves migrating and seeing the world from their homes. It utilizes a huge nuclear power reactor to power the entire country, but the extra energy must be used as well, which is why the country is constantly on the move. The technology seems fairly modern outside of the country-moving treads, including computers and remote monitors and cars traveling various streets and intersections with traffic lights and so on. All of the residential areas are in the lower levels, though the tour guide takes them to the top floor which is a communal park for everyone's recreation as it is the only floor where residents can enjoy sunlight. Unfortunately, it all comes at a price, as behind the country everything is flattened by the treads - something the tour guide feels some guilt over as it is the price paid for their travels.

Kino and Hermes are then given a small but clean room with everything fixed and secure against tremors. When Kino returns from a shower, Hermes comments that all the water including what they drink is recycled, but Kino retorts that they couldn't care less since it's still better than muddy water filtered through rags. They then go to sleep for the night, cutting off a final comment from Hermes and telling him they'll chat more tomorrow.

Note: the original Japanese does not particularly gender Kino, and by default most people tend to assume Kino is male upon sight, so assume cases of "Miss" etc. are just some polite referral to Kino (one official translation uses Mx.) unless otherwise noted.

Notes;

[quickpersuader]

-Before the country showed up, there was something annoying Kino that was preventing them from continuing on their journey.
-They're definitely hoping that the moving country will take them past whatever was preventing them before, they just can't remember what that was.
