(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.

A nomadic tribe? It'll be hard to move in a group, that's for sure. Still, that sounds pretty impressive to me.

Sorry, kingdom. [Which is even more impressive.]

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.]

Traveling from place to place? Hardly. Being pulled into another dimension against your will? Well, I think that answers itself. We don't usually world hop, that's for sure.

Fifth, you say? [That earns a curious look and tone.]
