okay so i have some questions for the general public
which is you guys

first: if you sent someone to jail on their birthday but they probably forgave you should you be worried that they or a family member is gonna
i don't know
come after you
or something like that
not that it happened
but hypothetically i guess

second: anyone have any thoughts on being called "puppy"?
is it a compliment?
an insult?
i kind of need some outside opinions here

uhhh
yeah that's it
thanks

dude
seriously what the fuck
you can't just go on a field trip to prison

[bolderfell]

Not with that attitude. You can't make up an excuse to go? Visiting someone, charity work, an attempt to guide the prisoners to the sacred light?

[grilletto]

sacred light?
are you trying to tell me to impersonate a priest??
i'm pretty sure i might go to hell already
but that's just like
a fucking first class ticket

[bolderfell]

Maybe. Well, it was just a suggestion. Guess you could just pose another question to this net work and see if anyone else has been to the gaols here, take your notes from them.

mista no

[grilletto]

been to the what?
what the hell is a gaols

Mista please

[bolderfell]

You spelled it jails before. Same thing.

I think.

i'm sorry

[grilletto]

why the hell didn't you just say jails then? or prisons
it doesn't even look like a word!

[bolderfell]

It's just what they're called where I'm from.

[grilletto]

oh
shit
sorry
uhhh
where are you from then?

[bolderfell]

Almost positive you won't have heard of it. Aren't we all from different worlds?

[grilletto]

a lot of us are
but that doesn't mean all of us are

[bolderfell]

True. A lot of people I've met here come from that one world with 'Italy' and 'Japan'.

[grilletto]

you mean earth?
yeah that's where i'm from
italy

[bolderfell]

Okay. That's not where I'm from at all, so there's your answer.

[grilletto]

okay yeah
you could still tell me where you’re from
it’s been pretty cool meeting people from other places
see what’s normal there
so long as i know that it’s coming yeah?

[bolderfell]

Well, the name of it wouldn't mean anything to you.

It's not like this world at all. A lot quieter, a lot simpler. There's magic, which I hear some worlds don't have, but none of this business of making love for it or turning into animals every damn month. We don't have any of the tecknology here for getting news on a glass pane or transporting yourself to places instantly. You want to know what's happening in the world, you drop by the nearest tavern. You want to travel, you use a cart, a boat, or your feet.

[grilletto]

wow it’s been a long time since i’ve heard that term
making love is just something you don’t really hear

but you guys don’t have phones or cars or anything
was it hard to figure shit out when you got here?

[bolderfell]

You could say that. My biggest problem is the noise, though.

[grilletto]

people noise or city noise?

[bolderfell]

Both. Not like there'd be much city noise without the people. Talk would be one thing, but all those machines and lights and vehicles, I'm not used to any of that. It's just so damn loud all the time.

I sleep as much as I can during the day to avoid the worst of it, but it's not as though it stops at night.

[grilletto]

well yeah
but sometimes people aren't as annoying as machines
not always
because let me tell you there are some really annoying guys out there
just be grateful there aren't any helicopters or anything
those'd probably be worse for you

[bolderfell]

I hate to think it could be worse, but I don't doubt it can.

So you're used to cities being this busy in your world?

[grilletto]

kind of yeah
not quite like this
we have a lot of tourists back home
plus the noise of the city

what's it called?
where you're from, i mean
something cool?

[bolderfell]

[Uuuggghhh. Fine.]

Orsterra. Don't know if that's 'cool' or not, but it's a name.

[grilletto]

it's not a bad name
it's cooler than some other things that i've heard
but hey
do you guys have pizza in orsterra?
