(video) two.
I suppose it's too much to ask that whatever's dropping all this incredible technology on our heads continues to do so. [ a dismissive little wave. ] Hordes of hostile spirits aside, of course. Not a situation any of us should hope to repeat, but it certainly is hard to argue with the payoff...
[ "payoff" indeed. qilby's hat takes up most of the screen, but under a horn a bit of burnished metal or mechanical something-or-other may be visible. apparently he's put his little botany project on the backburner since some new toys fell out of the sky.
and although he'd normally be all for showing off what it is he's tinkering with, he's got a more pressing matter at hand. ]
It's rather short-sighted, in retrospect-- but until now, I hadn't truly considered the scope of the universe outside the turtle's shell. Docking on the mainland is one thing, but the stars are quite another. [ he shakes his head almost mournfully. ] But Tu Vishan sustains us yet, and it seems to be quite impossible to travel very far beyond his presence.
Several months have passed, and I still know so little-- have seen so little of this world. The idea that I may never know more than what I'm told is... Disheartening. [ an embarrassed little laugh; as if even he realizes it's a silly thing to be hung up on. but still. ] Surely I can't be the only one that feels that way.

Oh, dear-- I certainly didn't mean it to come off that way! Hopeful, perhaps. Wistful, at the least. But depressing...
[ he shakes his head. ] I believe that as long as Tu Vishan remains threatened by... Whatever foe we've been brought here to combat, we won't be venturing very far from it. Not that any of us needed much more motivation than that to fight off this attacker.

It would be nice to see what kind of world we're in though, not just here.

he smiles a knowing smile at the bit about "adventure." he's found himself wishing the same thing, all the time. ] And I share the sentiment.
Of all the dozens of worlds I've explored, this is certainly one of the stranger ones-- to say nothing of the circumstances of our arrivals here. Normally I get to decide when and where I'm going...

It's no way to live, not with an entire kingdom under your wing. [ a little sigh. ] But a thirst for exploration is never fully quenched, I'm afraid.

clearing his throat, he changes the subject! ] Er-- you sound as if you've some experience with Krosmic travel, if not dimensional travel. Is that true?
no subject
Not personally. I try not to get involved in those, but I do know some people who are. [Well, that's a lie. She's been in a few scenarios, but she's not explaining those.]

Is it considered such a trouble, where you're from?
