Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[endsjustified]

I think I mentioned it…? I’m a traitor and a political exile. Blossom caught me a couple of days out from leaving the country by ship.

Well, yeah, but why give up your name?

[raises an eyebrow at Extremely Wanted Man]

If you're trying to avoid being caught, taking on a new name is one of the easiest ways to do it.

That’s it in a nutshell. Also, it’s a good polite fiction to keep the country I’m escaping from making an international incident out of the country I’m escaping to knowingly sheltering a wanted criminal.

I suppose No Man’s Land literally doesn’t have that sort of separation of jurisdiction, though.

[ ??? PSYDUCK ]

Uh... no. We don't have countries.... or laws, to be honest.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[mykidisthebest]

Is it just...anarchy? With guns?

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[endsjustified]

No Man’s Land was far more literal than I thought…

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[featherduster]

Anarchy with guns is exactly what it is.

[dang can't believe No Man's Land already went through the apocalypse]

Do you want us to set up a democracy or anything? Your Earth people will probably set something up once they finish terraforming, but the anarchy and guns has me concerned.

[mumbles something about ‘just move them all without the guns’ but like, very quietly]

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[featherduster]

A little democracy would be nice...

We've got a whole lot of world-saving stuff on the agenda, huh.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[mykidisthebest]

[elbows Charon, but like, lightly. you can't move a whole population, Charon]

World-saving stuff has always been on the agenda. Nothing gets fixed overnight, so it'll all take a few years.

[gives him a look like yes I can??? what do you think magic and army-size logistics are for, I move hundreds of thousands of people around all the time]

Changing the world tends to be decisive. But the buildup beforehand and the restoration afterwards are slow.

We gotta make sure we build in vacations.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[mykidisthebest]

Traveling to your world is the vacation. Or any world, really. When I'm at home I have to work.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[endsjustified]

Working vacations…do not count.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[featherduster]

What Charon said.

My world would be a real shitty vacation. Lethe'll definitely get shot at any time he opens his mouth to say anything.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[mykidisthebest]

Terraforming does sound like a vacation, though! I won't be doing any of the work. I can't make oceans or mountains or anything like that. I'll be relaxing.

And I don't care if anyone tries to shoot at me once I have Eunhye back, but my brother will kill them. So you should ask them to behave in advance or it'll cause problems.

[looks up into the tree branches for a moment, up at the red fruit on them]

Your sisters are not the gun-toting sort. Maybe visiting them can be the vacation.

[featherduster]

[ TO LETHE ]

Damn, you're right, how come I never thought of that before . . .

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[featherduster]

... My sisters are pretty great, though. They'll love you both.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[mykidisthebest]

It was just a suggestion.

[it is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask! clearly! and they'd surely listen!]

Honestly, I'm excited to meet them. They seem nice. Usually the people I meet from other worlds have their own agenda, you know? I like being able to talk to people who are just normal.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[endsjustified]

[soft]

I had been thinking about how to free them from their confinement and programming, as well.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[featherduster]

[ Quietly ]

. . . Thank you for wanting to. Both of you.

Re: day 9?, into the mist after moonrise

[mykidisthebest]

[gives Minuet's hand a squeeze]

Isn't it normal to want to meet them? They're your family.

Charon's thinking way ahead of me, though. I'm guessing we'd have to get a house set up for them before we let them all out, if that's what they want. It'll take time.
